Comparative StudyPatent foramen ovale in children with migraine headaches.
To determine the prevalence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in children with migraine. ⋯ Children with migraine with aura have a significantly higher prevalence of PFO compared with those without aura or the general population. These data suggest that PFO may contribute to the pathogenesis of migraine with aura in children and have implications for clinical decision making.

Comparative StudyDelayed onset of sleep-wake cycling with favorable outcome in hypothermic-treated neonates with encephalopathy.
To determine whether hypothermia modulates acquisition of sleep-wake cycling in term neonates with moderate to severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and the relationship to outcome. ⋯ Although onset of sleep-wake cycling is markedly delayed in term neonates with moderate to severe HIE treated with hypothermia, approximately 65% with acquisition of cycling have a normal outcome. Sleep-wake cycling is an important additional tool for assessing recovery in term infants with moderate to severe HIE treated with hypothermia.
