Placental pathology in asphyxiated newborns meeting the criteria for therapeutic hypothermia.
TL;DR: Therapeutic hypothermia may not be effective in asphyxiated newborns whose placentas show evidence of chorioamnionitis with fetal vasculitis and chorionic plate meconium.

Early versus late MRI in asphyxiated newborns treated with hypothermia
Pia Wintermark,Anne Hansen,Janet S. Soul,Michelle Labrecque,Richard L. Robertson,Simon K. Warfield +5 more
TL;DR: MRI scans obtained on DOL 2–3 during hypothermia seem to predict later brain injuries in asphyxiated newborns, and brain injuries identified during this early time appear to represent irreversible changes.

Passive cooling during transport of asphyxiated term newborns
TL;DR: Exclusive passive cooling achieves significantly earlier initiation of effective hypothermia for asphyxiated newborns but should not delay transport for active cooling.

Can Induced Hypothermia Be Assured During Brain MRI in Neonates with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy?
Pia Wintermark,Pia Wintermark,Michelle Labrecque,Simon K. Warfield,Stephanie DeHart,Anne Hansen +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that therapeutic hypothermia can be safely and reproducibly maintained during a brain MRI and should not prevent obtaining an early brain MRI if clinically indicated.

TL;DR: An interdisciplinary team including international and local clinical experts worked with the Rwandan Ministry of Health and Rwandan professional associations to develop and implement a neonatal care program in a rural Rwandan district hospital that was ultimately accepted as the national standard for newborn medicine.
