In Premature Newborns Intraventricular Hemorrhage Causes Cerebral Vasospasm and Associated Neurodisability via Heme-Induced Inflammasome-Mediated Interleukin-1 Production and Nitric Oxide Depletion

BackgroundIntraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) occurs in 60–70% of neonates weighing 500–750 g and 10–20% of those weighing 1,000–1,500 g.
