Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cerebral metabolic distress is an important primary and secondary disease process that contributes to mortality and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in newborns and infants. Children with neurometabolic decompensation may have severe clinical presentations, including headache, irritability, vomiting, lethargy, seizures, loss of consciousness, and death. Early detection and early intervention are invaluable to prevent irreversible neurologic injury and to achieve normal or near normal neurodevelopmental milestones. This issue aims to highlight translational advances in the quantification and imaging of cerebral metabolism and metabolic injury that may be applied in pediatric neurocritical care populations including, but not limited to, traumatic brain injury, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, and congenital abnormalities resulting in cardiac and/or respiratory insufficiency. The submission of original preclinical and clinical research manuscripts as well as scoping systematic and meta-analyses review articles are welcome. Please do not hesitate to reach out for further clarification. We look forward to highlighting your work in this Special Issue!
Dr. Tiffany S. S. Ko
