flag Researchers at Imperial College London discover a blood test identifying brain injury cause in newborns due to oxygen deprivation, which may help diagnose injuries quickly and guide treatment.

flag Researchers at Imperial College London have developed a blood test that can identify the underlying cause of brain injury in newborns. flag The test analyzes gene expression patterns in the blood to determine the cause of injury and identify if the newborn is likely to respond to cooling treatment, a common method for treating brain injury in infants. flag The findings show there are different causes of brain injury in babies from low and middle-income countries compared to high-income countries. flag The blood test could potentially lead to a diagnostic tool for making treatment decisions for newborns with brain injuries.
