Investigators from NIH, Hyperion Biotechnology Inc., and Hospital for Sick Children studied the effect of oral N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on decreasing oxidative stress and increasing physical endurance in individuals with ryanodine receptor 1-related myopathies (RYR1-RM).
Investigators from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine report that decreased cerebral regional oxygenation saturation (rSO2) was associated with higher mortality and poor short-term neurologic outcomes in children supported on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
Investigators from the International Pediatric Stroke Study Group (IPSS) reviewed data from a multicenter observational cohort of neonates and children with stroke, comparing clinical features and outcomes differentiating posterior circulation arterial ischemic stroke (PCAIS) and anterior circulation arterial ischemic stroke (ACAIS).
In 2020, the mission of Pediatric Neurology Briefs (PNB) remains the same: “PNB is a continuing education service designed to expedite and facilitate the review of current scientific research and advances in child neurology and related subjects.”
