UW BRAIN Team

The mission of the BRAIN Team is to improve neonatal neurodevelopmental outcomes through neuroprotection-focused research and clinical application.

Collaborative @brain_uw work by neonatology, pediatric neurology, genetics, and neonatal ethics to raise awareness of and testing for genetic etiologies in neonatal encephalopathy distinct from HIE. @EBNEO @seattlechildren

Dr. Sarah Kolnik presenting data on how head circumference influences brain region captured by NIRS in preterm infants. Small head circumference may not reflect cerebral regional saturation.

Cooling blanket temp = HIE brain injury biomarker. A jaw-dropping aOR of 17.0 of death or moderate-severe NDI in HIE infants with a high cooling blanket temp. Great work by BRAIN Team members U. Mietzsch, @Neo_DrLaw, @DrRagnar, @mihai_pd and @SandraJuul1. @EBNEO @UW_SCH_Neos 🧠

Neonatology is "not able to accurately predict the results of complex long-term assessments...even when using rich datasets and advanced analytic[s]." Follow-up for premies is essential. Thankful to PENUT for collaboration w/@brain_uw - @DrRagnar @mihai_pd @Neo_DrLaw @SarahKolnik

MILD HIE matters. Collaboration between Neonatology and Neurology is vital for advances in neonatal brain care and HIE. Keep up the great work, BRAINs! @UW_SCH_Neos and @uwpedsneuro

Congratulations to BRAIN Team members and collaborators Ulrike Mietzsch and @SandraJuul1 for a well-done and important contribution to neonatal brain research. The search for neuroprotective agents continues @UWMedicine, @seattlechildren, @NeoNeuroLab, and across the globe #brain

[NEJM @NEJM]

Giving erythropoietin to newborns undergoing therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy did not result in a lower risk of death or neurodevelopmental impairment than placebo and was associated with more SAEs. https://t.co/c3I4Nv2PtI

[Eric S Peeples @ESPeeples]

Our work w/PENUT data in @JPerinatology showing BP data for the 602 EPT infants w/out BP treatment, and high intercenter variability in how and how often BP is managed in the others. Still so many questions in this field.

Our newest paper is out showing the use of a ferret whole hemisphere brain slice model to capture regional responses to injury and treatment seen in vivo! https://t.co/ttWSdUNE8E

Always fun to collab with @NeoNeuroLab and @DrRagnar

Congratulations @Neo_DrLaw and @DrRagnar on your recent #brains publication!

[UW Neonatal Neuroscience Lab @NeoNeuroLab]

Lab director @DrRagnar is editing a special edition of @Life_MDPI - Diversifying and Strengthening Translational Animal Models of Newborn Brain Injuries. If that's your kind of thing, let us know! https://t.co/hQ3rwe5w9w

Is this how we feel, @brain_uw ?

The hunt for neuro-predictive biomarkers continues, but Epo and Tau are giving us clues: Early Biomarkers of Hypoxia and Inflammation and Two-Year Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in the PENUT Trial. Congratulations @DrRagnar, @Neo_DrLaw 🧠 https://t.co/Ex6XX883RX

[UW BRAIN Team @brain_uw]

So fortunate to collaborate with the ingenious @NeoNeuroLab. Congrats @DrRagnar and @Neo_DrLaw!

[UW Neonatal Neuroscience Lab @NeoNeuroLab]

New paper from the lab! This model took 6+ years to develop and we hope it will be an important addition to preclinical developmental brain injury research. Super excited to see it in print! https://t.co/35hLjHOphd

[European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR) @ESPR_ESN]

Neonatal Publication Highlight:

Landmark HELIX trial led by @SudhinThayyil @CPN_NeoNeuro @imperialcollege published in @LancetGH with interesting results & massive implications for use of Therapeutic Hypothermia for HIE in LMICs.

This report from the PENUT trial showed that opioids and/or benzodiazepines used in extremely preterm infants are associated with adverse effects on 2-year neurodevelopmental outcomes. @DrRagnar @Neo_DrLaw @brain_uw https://t.co/wIAFknzOTm
