Paediatric cerebral sinovenous thrombosis: findings of the International Paediatric Stroke Study
Conclusions Our study extends the observations of previously published smaller studies in children with CSVT that this is a morbid disease with diverse underlying causes and risk factors. Divergent treatment practices among highly specialised centres as well as limited data on treatment efficacy and safety suggest that further study of this condition is warranted.

Hyperbaric oxygen for neurologic indications. Action plan for multicenter trials in: stroke, traumatic brain injury, radiation encephalopathy and status migrainosus
Publication date: September–October 2012 Source:Pediatria Polska, Volume 87, Issue 5 Author(s): Harry T. Whelan , Ann K. Helms Introduction: There is great interest in using hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) to treat neurological disease. The exquisite sensitivity of neural tissue to hypoxia makes increased oxygenation attractive as a therapy for disease processes that induce ischemia, edema, and, more recently, apoptosis. Four things specifically exist as targets for future projects and clinical trials: (1) stroke (2) traumatic brain injury (3) radiation induced necrosis and (4) status migrainosus. Methods: Specific aims: Strok...
