Non-accidental head injury: a consequence of deprivation?
In Scotland, children who present with suspected NAHI originate predominantly from the most deprived areas of the community. Public health and intervention strategies should be focused in these areas.
The observed protection of exogenous NaHS is associated with reduced myocardial and renal inflammation and oxidative potential after THIR. The current results suggest that hydrogen sulphide is protective during the evolution of THIR and that either direct hydrogen sulphide administration or the modulation of endogenous production may be of clinical importance.
