Safety and feasibility trial protocol of metformin in infants after perinatal brain injury Open
Introduction Infants with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) are at a high risk for neurodevelopmental impairment, and adjunctive treatments to promote brain repair are needed. The antidiabetic drug metformin has recently been recognis…

Parent Experience of Hypoxic–Ischemic Encephalopathy and Hypothermia: A Call for Trauma Informed Care Open
Objective Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the standard treatment for hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). We surveyed parents of infants treated with TH about their experiences of communication and parental involvement in the neonatal in…
