Unlabelled: Cranial ultrasonography including colour Doppler can detect neonatal carotid flow problems at an early stage, even before symptoms occur. Different pathogeneses can be identified. The condition is more frequent than previously reported. If the circle of Willis is fully developed, this can prevent brain injury even in case of total carotid flow obstruction
Conclusion: Screening of the carotid artery in critically ill neonates may detect complications of treatment at an early stage.

Objective: Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) is a leading cause of neonatal mortality, resulting in brain injury and persistent seizures that can last into the late neonatal period and beyond. Effective treatments and interventions for infants affected by hypoxia-ischemia remain lacking. Clinical investigations have indicated an elevation of nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5) in whole blood from umbilical cords of severely affected HIBD infants with epilepsy.

Children requiring veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) or cardiac surgery often undergo cervical cannulation or carotid artery clamping, which can interrupt cerebral circulation. Inadequate collateral flow through the circle of Willis (CoW) may lead to cerebral ischaemia within the vascular territory and/or watershed regions. Pre-cannulation survey of the CoW using transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound may be performed to predict and plan neuroprotection.

Article Synopsis
- Maternal undernutrition leads to low birth weight in neonates, which can increase the risk for high blood pressure and kidney disease later in life, though the exact reasons are not fully understood.
- The study utilized a mouse model to examine factors like oxidative stress and vascular function in low birth weight mice after one year, measuring various health indicators and testing different pharmacological treatments.
- Results showed that low birth weight mice had higher blood pressure and decreased kidney function, but administration of specific drugs improved their conditions, indicating that therapies targeting oxidative stress and vascular function might mitigate some long-term health issues.

A male neonate (2.5 kg) who presented with an interrupted aortic arch type C, hypoplasia of the aortic valve and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction received bilateral pulmonary artery bands as a first step of a hybrid interim palliation. Due to an intimal tissue flap at the origin of the left common carotid artery and a high-risk situation for PDA stenting, a complete early correction was undertaken.

Perinatal asphyxia is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in newborns. One of the key pathogenic factors in hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury is the inflammatory reaction including complement system activation. Over-activated complement stimulates cells to release inflammatory molecules and is involved in the post-ischemic degradation of synaptic connections.
