Oxygen deprivation at birth, medically known as perinatal hypoxia or birth asphyxia, can have profound effects on the developing brain, and there is growing interest in understanding whether this early-life event might contribute to depression later in life. When a…
Birth asphyxia, also known as neonatal asphyxia or hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), occurs when a newborn baby’s brain and other organs do not receive enough oxygen before, during, or immediately after birth. This oxygen deprivation can cause damage to the brain…
Oxygen deprivation in children, especially during critical periods such as birth or early development, can indeed cause emotional problems alongside physical and cognitive issues. When the brain receives insufficient oxygen—a condition known as hypoxia or anoxia depending on severity—the delicate…
Birth asphyxia, also known as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), occurs when a newborn baby is deprived of adequate oxygen during the birth process. This lack of oxygen can cause brain injury, which may affect various aspects of a child’s development, including…
Mild asphyxia at birth, often referred to as mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), can indeed cause subtle learning issues that may not be immediately obvious but can emerge as the child grows. While severe oxygen deprivation at birth is well-known to…
Oxygen deprivation during delivery, medically known as perinatal hypoxia or birth asphyxia, can significantly affect a baby’s brain function, including memory. When a newborn’s brain is deprived of adequate oxygen, even for a short period, it can cause damage to…
Birth asphyxia occurs when a newborn baby does not receive enough oxygen before, during, or immediately after birth. This lack of oxygen can cause serious damage to the baby’s brain and other organs. The brain is especially vulnerable because it…
Birth asphyxia, also known as perinatal hypoxia or hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), occurs when a newborn infant experiences a lack of oxygen to the brain around the time of birth. This condition can cause various degrees of brain injury depending on…
Lack of oxygen at birth, medically known as birth asphyxia or hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), can indeed have significant effects on a child’s brain development, and it has been associated with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD (Attention Deficit…
Asphyxia at birth, also known as perinatal asphyxia or neonatal hypoxia-ischemia, occurs when a newborn infant experiences a significant lack of oxygen before, during, or immediately after delivery. This oxygen deprivation can cause brain injury with potential effects on the…
