Did you know there are currently ZERO published long-term follow up guidelines for neonatal and pediatric-acquired Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy? Thanks to members of our Medical Advisory Board, and leadership of the Neonatal Special Interest Group through the Child Neurology Society, we have begun the process to start the development of long-term follow-up guidelines for HIE. We had OVER 120 child […]
Children who survive neonatal seizures, including those caused by hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), face a range of challenges that can impact their long-term development. This latest published study from the Neonatal Seizure Registry explored an often-overlooked aspect of patient-family reported outcomes: sleep disorders. Recognizing that sleep plays a critical role in cognitive, behavioral, and emotional well-being, the investigators aimed to determine […]
Understanding the Role of MRI in Neonatal HIE When a newborn is diagnosed with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE), parents often hear about a test called a MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). This test is frequently used to evaluate the brain and guide care decisions, but it’s important to understand its benefits, limitations, and role in managing HIE. What is a MRI? MRI […]
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: the Neonatal Seizure Registry (NSR) is the gold standard for integrating parental input at every step—from study design all the way to its dissemination. Two incredible members of the NSR team—Dr. Monica Lemmon, a pediatric neurologist at Duke Health and a valued member of Hope’s Medical Advisory Board, and Natalie Field, […]
As Hope for HIE continues to expand its impact, it has become clear that bridging the gap between clinical research and family support is critical. Families affected by HIE need representation in research studies to ensure their voices are heard, and researchers need insights that reflect real-world experiences to improve outcomes. This is where Gina Abraham’s role as Clinical Research […]
