BACKGROUND Background: Studying the neurological developmental outcomes and comparing correlations with MRI (Magnetic resonance image) versus the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) OBJECTIVE Objective: To investigate the non-inferiority of MRI to HINE in infant developmental outcomes METHODS Settings: Hospital settings including pediatrics and neonatal care units Intervention: No medical or surgical intervention is planned, only correlation and extra analyses would take place to standardize the current practice Measurements: HINE, Brain MRI, Brain Ultrasound and developmental outcomes after 12 months RESULTS Results: The observations collected and correlations measured to figure out the reliability of both HINE and MRI in order to figure to what extent can we rely on HINE alone in expecting the developmental outcomes CONCLUSIONS The more reliability would expressed by HINE assessment the accurate expectation of developmental in preterm infants CLINICALTRIAL https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03580252

Cognitive Problems

Background: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is characterized by growth of benign tumors in the skin, brain, kidneys, lung and heart. Prognosis is mostly determined by the extent of brain involvement as tumors in the brain lead to seizures and cognitive problems. Epilepsy is highly associated with the cognitive abnormalities in TSC and recent evidence suggests anti-epileptic treatment before onset of seizures reduces epilepsy severity and risk of mental retardation. Screening and potential identification of TSC in utero via ultrasound would allow for prophylactic seizure management in these children. The sensitivity of antenatal ultrasound in the identification of brain abnormalities associated with TSC has not yet been published. In this case, we review the antenatal ultrasounds of a child with TSC for evidence of brain abnormalities in utero. Methods: Retrospective review Results: Retrospective review of antenatal ultrasounds showed some evidence of intracranial abnormalities. Ultrasound at 34 weeks and 4 days gestation revealed an echogenic density in the right ventricle that correlates with SEGA on post-natal MRI brain at 12 days of life. Post-natal brain ultrasound at 37 weeks revealed multiple cranial abnormalities not seen in utero. Conclusions: There are limitations to antenatal neurosonography in the detection of intracranial abnormalities associated with TSC.

Background The traditional method of teaching the technique of neonatal brain ultrasonography is based upon the interaction between the practitioner and the neonate under the supervision of a tutor. This approach has disadvantages in that it may result in a longer imaging examination and the patient may become agitated. As demand for ultrasound services escalates and departments get busier, this often means that the trainee and supervisor are under pressure to work rapidly. Such environments are common but not conducive to the development of adequate skills and competencies. A neonatal head phantom used as part of a dedicated study day could help the beginner to learn basic elements of the ultrasound examination within a safe stress-free environment. It offers the opportunity to repeat the examination as often as the trainee wishes without time pressures and the distraction of a moving and potentially very sick baby. Aim The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a commercial phantom as a means for the practitioner to acquire the fundamental principles of neonatal brain ultrasound. Method A total of 17 participants attending a one day neonatal ultrasound course aimed at beginners were invited to complete a short two-part questionnaire that assessed their perceived improvement in scanning ability before and after using a commercially available head phantom. Results Of the 14 returned questionnaires, the overall perceived understanding, ability and confidence improved and anxiety levels about the procedure fell. The median pre-training score was 9.0 compared with the median post-training score of 12.0 (P = 0.005, Wilcoxon signed-rank test). At least 79% (up to 86%) of participants valued their experience with the phantom and would recommend the course to colleagues. Furthermore, about two-thirds reported that they would like to have additional practise with the phantom. Preliminary data from this study suggest that beginners found the head phantom useful for mastering some of the early skills required for neonatal brain ultrasound examinations, which in turn improved their confidence and reduced anxiety.
