• Inflammation driven molecular alterations in disorders of the perinatal brain 

  Casey, Sophie (University College Cork, 2021-03)

  Introduction: Inflammatory insults during the perinatal period are known to disrupt normal neurodevelopmental processes. Neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) may occur with or without infection and is characterised ...
• Masks and tubes used to support the neonatal airway – how to improve their fit, seal and correct placement 

  O'Shea, Joyce E. (University College Cork, 2019-04-17)

  Despite the many changes in perinatal medicine in the last fifty years, infants still often and unpredictably need assistance with their breathing. Positive pressure delivered through a facemask remains the almost universal ...
• Ability of early neurological assessment and continuous EEG to predict long term neurodevelopmental outcome at 5 years in infants following hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy 

  O'Connor, Catherine M. (University College Cork, 2018)

  Hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) symptoms evolve during the first days of life and their monitoring is critical for treatment decisions and long-term outcome predictions. This thesis aims to report the five-year ...
• Altered cord blood biomarkers in neonatal brain injury 

  O'Sullivan, Marc Paul (University College Cork, 2019)

  Introduction: Alterations in RNA and proteins observed at birth may have long-term effects on early life. Perinatal asphyxia (PA) accounts for a quarter of all global neonatal deaths. Early intervention is critical for ...
• Neuromonitoring during newborn transition 

  Finn, Daragh (University College Cork, 2019)

  Background: Newborn infant neurological function can be measured by monitoring electrical activity (electroencephalography) or cerebral oxygenation via NIRS (near infrared spectroscopy). In practice the clinical applications ...
