Severe intraventricular hemorrhage in a rabbit model of prematurity
from Springer Nature · host Springer Nature
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) occurs in around 45% of infants born below 26 weeks gestational age, causing significant lifelong morbidity and mortality. However, there is currently no effective treatment. In part, this is due to the lack of well-characterised representative preterm animal models with long-term follow up. In this episode, we meet our highlighted Early Career Investigator Olga Romantsik, from Lund University in Sweden. She and her team used an established preterm rabbit pup model of IVH to analyse neurobehavioral and neuropathological outcomes, to one month of age.
