This special issue of the Biomedical Journal is entirely dedicated to the latest updates regarding the medical efforts to preserve the fragile young brain after injury. Thereby, we learn about symptoms and diseases such as different forms of epilepsy, acute encephalopathy, increased intracranial pressure, and posthaemorrhagic hydrocephalus, as well as about their origins, such as infection, autoimmune diseases, preterm birth, or abusive head trauma. Moreover, diagnosis and surveillance techniques are discussed, including ultrasound of the optic nerve sheath diameter and multimodal monitoring. Finally, we discover various established and emerging therapeutic approaches, comprising target temperature management, ketogenic diet, and immunomodulation.
本期《生物医学期刊》特刊专门介绍了在受伤后保护脆弱的年轻大脑方面的医学最新进展。因此，我们了解了不同形式的癫痫、急性脑病、颅内压升高和出血后脑积水等症状和疾病，以及它们的起源，如感染、自身免疫性疾病、早产或虐待性头部创伤。此外，还讨论了诊断和监测技术，包括视神经鞘直径超声和多模态监测。最后，我们发现了各种已确立和新兴的治疗方法，包括目标温度管理、生酮饮食和免疫调节。
