“We are investigating cases that involve children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who had a diagnosis of neonatal encephalopathy, low Apgar’s at birth, and acidosis on the cord blood gas following a complicated delivery, with or without therapeutic cooling,” states Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national neurological injury attorney. What did Dr. Perciado report in her [...]
“Clearly there are children with the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder who have objective findings on MRI that are associated with perinatal hypoxia. That is a birth injury,” states Greg Vigna, MD, JD, Board Certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. What did Dr. Perciado report in her article published in Autism Research, “Prenatal exposure to hypoxic [...]
“Our findings demonstrate that, despite the manifest successes of therapeutic hypothermia, brain development is impaired in these children,” states Dr. Ela Chakkarapani, Pediatrics and Neonatology. Dr. Greg Vigna, Board Certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, national birth injury attorney says, “Children who required therapeutic cooling may be spared the diagnosis of cerebral palsy, but clearly [...]
“CONCLUSION: Among infants undergoing therapeutic hypothermia, perinatal arterial ischemic stroke typically occurs with concurrent hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy pattern brain injury,” states Fernando F. Gonzalez, MD, Professor of Pediatrics, University of California San Francisco. What did Dr. Gonzalez report in Pediatric Research in the 2024 article “Perinatal arterial ischemic stroke diagnosed in infants receiving therapeutic hypothermia for [...]

“A recent study found that 8.7% of patients with cerebral palsy were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and some in the medical community suggest that cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorders, and attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may have similar risk factors," states Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national neurological injury attorney. Read “Prevalence and characteristics of autism [...]
“There is now clear evidence that the consequences of persistent increased muscle tone can be limited by applying an integrated multi-level BTX-A treatment approach,” states Guy Molenaers, MD, Ph.D., Orthopedic Surgeon. What does Dr. Molenaers report in his article “The use of botulinum toxin A in children with cerebral palsy, with a focus on the [...]
“I doubt a study comparing the Altis to the TephaFex mid-urethral sling will ever happen. I anticipate the P4HB technology will finally end the polypropylene vaginal mesh debacle,” states Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national mid-urethral sling attorney. What was reported about P4HB slings in the 2024 article, “Safety and Efficacy Report for the Poly-4-Hydroxybutyrate as [...]
“Birth Centers are popping up all over the place … despite the data on adverse neonatal outcomes. This is simply better marketing the benefits of comfort and personal service of a birth center over safety provided by a hospital for the inevitable difficult delivery,” states Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national birth injury attorney. What does [...]
“In an attempt to establish cutoff values to predict the occurrence of neurological sequelae, MD and FA measurements in the corpus callosum, thalamus, basal ganglia, corticospinal tract, and frontal white matter have proven to have an excellent ability to predict severe neurological outcomes," states Kenichi Oishi, MD, PhD, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
