Background: Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is one the common causes of neonatal fatality due to perinatal asphyxia. The long-term outcomes of HIE are impaired mental and motor development, hearing loss, recurrent seizures and cerebral palsy. MRI is increasingly becoming the gold standard in diagnosis of HIE as it involves no radiation and can be performed during a neonates physiological sleep. To evaluate the role of MRI in infants with suspected hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in prognosticating neurological outcomes at end of one year.Methods: A total of 50 patients were included in the study who underwent MRI of brain. A clinical follow up was done at the end of one year.Results: The sensitivity of MRI in prognosticating clinical outcome was 72% and specificity was 71% while PPV and NPV was 86% and 50% respectively.Conclusions: MRI is a useful modality to assess early changes in HIE and it can prognosticate clinical outcome.

The Ukrainian socio-economic crisis has been developing for years and resulted in the open socio-political turmoil and armed conflict. The Ukrainian population didn’t meet objectives of the post-Soviet transformation, and people were disillusioned for years, losing trust in the state and the Future. The role of workers’ remittances in the Ukrainian economy is underestimated, since the personal consumption and stability depend strongly on them. Social inequality, oligarchic control of key national assets contributed to instability as well as regional disparity, aggravated by identity differences. Economic growth is slow due to a long-term underinvestment, and prospects of improvement are dependent on some difficult institutional reforms, macro stability, open external markets and the elites’ consensus. Recovering after socio-economic and political crisis will need not merely time, but also governance quality improvement, institutions reform, the investment climate revival - that can be attributed as the second transformation in Ukraine.
