Can Patent Foramen Ovales Cause Problems?
Discussion During fetal development, the heart primum and secundum septa grow and overlap leaving a small but important channel between the two atria. The foramen ovale is a flap valve moving blood from the right atrium into the left atrium directly and bypassing the high pressure pulmonary system. After birth and breathing air, the neonate’s lungs open up and the pulmonary vascular resistance decreases. The left atrium now has a relatively higher pressure than the right atria, and therefore pressure on the flap valve closes the foramen ovale. Usually within 6-12 months, the fusion of the primum and secundum of the f...

Left Ventricular Function and Dimensions Are Altered Early in Infants Developing Brain Injury in the Setting of Neonatal Encephalopathy
We evaluated the association between left cardiac three-dimensional echocardiographic parameters and brain injury in a single-center prospective study of neonates with neonatal encephalopathy. On day 2 of life, neonates with brain injury had higher left ventricle end-diastolic and stroke volume, but also higher peak global circumferential strain detected by 3D-echocardiogram.

MTHFR C677T Polymorphism, Plasma Homocysteine, and PDGF-AA Levels and Transcranial Doppler Velocity in Children with Sickle Cell Disease
CONCLUSION: PDGF-AA and tHcy levels could be used as predictive markers for stroke in SCD children. MTHFR Polymorphism contributes to elevated tHcy levels.PMID:37260067

Cerebral artery conditional blood velocity in sickle cell disease: a multicentre study and evidence for active treatment
Conclusion Since conditional blood velocity in cerebral arteries can progress to high values and predispose to stroke, the proportion of children with SCD who are affected (15.5%) raises the question of whether regular monitoring and proactive intervention ought to be the standard of care.

What Are the Classifications of Perinatal Stroke?
Discussion Perinatal stroke occurs in about 1:1000 live births and is a “focal vascular injury from the fetal period to 28 days postnatal age.” Perinatal stroke is the most common cause of hemiparetic cerebral palsy and causes other significant morbidity including cognitive deficits, learning disabilities, motor problems, sensory problems including visual and hearing disorders, epilepsy, and behavioral and psychological problems. Family members are also affected because of the potential anxiety and guilt feelings that having a child with a stroke presents, along with the care that may be needed over the child&#...
