Objective To investigate whether serum levels of interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha), IL-6, tumor
necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), C-reactive protein (CRP) are useful in the diagnosis of …

Background: Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a serious condition which results in
neonatal morbidity and mortality. Early prediction of HIE especially in the first six hours of …

Objectives. To investigate if the concentration of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF) is affected by perinatal asphyxia, and to examine the relation of IL-6 levels in the CSF …

Introduction: It is difficult to diagnose birth asphyxia if neonatal records are not available.
Serum Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) level is an easily accessible tool in most of routine …

Background: Neonatal sepsis is one of the main causes of neonatal mortality and morbidity.
It breaks out in one to ten cases per 1000 live births with a mortality rate of 10 to 50 percent …

Background Cerebral ischemia generates neuroinflammation that can induce neural cell
death. This cohort study assessed whether Fas-ligand (FasL) and interleukin (IL)-6 levels in …

Background: In developing countries, perinatal asphyxia is a major cause of morbidity and
mortality requiring urgent attention. In such poor resource settings bed side diagnostic test …

Objective The aim of this study was to highlight the importance of cord blood S100B protein
in the diagnosis of neonatal hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy and determination of its …

BACKGROUND: Neonatal encephalopathy is a heterogeneous syndrome characterised by
signs of central nervous system dysfunction in the newborn. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 …

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) after perinatal asphyxia is a condition in which
