Any significant drop in blood pressure caused by surgery would have caused severe neurological damage.
Left untreated, 70 percent of patients die; more than half of the survivors are left with neurological damage, though in most cases much less devastating than Clive's.
Experimental animal studies on cytarabine-induced causes of neurological damage event
"These kids have no neural damage, no prenatal exposure to drugs and alcohol, no neurological damage," Kishiyama said. "Yet, the prefrontal cortex is not functioning as efficiently as it should be."
The results of these studies not only will contribute to the advancement of medicine, but may also hold therapeutic benefits for those afflicted with such neurological damage.
Many children are showing evidence of neurological damage.
Studies show even slightly elevated lead levels can lead to permanent neurological damage and reduced IQ.
