A Norfolk newborn becomes first baby in the world to get cannabis-based medicine to stop seizures

A Norfolk newborn has become the first in the world to be given a cannabis-derived medicine as part of a new clinical trial to help infants born with a condition that can lead to brain damage. Oscar Parodi was born at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital with neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), which is a lack of oxygen or blood flow from the placenta to the baby. He received cooling treatment, as is standard for infants born with HIE, but his mother also agreed for him to be given a dose of the study's cannabis-based drug as well. The drug is already being used to help treat children with rare forms of epilepsy, and this is the first time it has been used to try to prevent seizures in a baby with HIE. Researchers on the study, led by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust in London, hope the drug could one day be used routinely in neonatal care to help babies at risk of seizures and brain injury. The trial is looking to see if the medicine is safe and effective in lessening the degree of brain…

The U.S. is close to reaching the grim milestone of 100,000 confirmed coronavirus deaths.
