Hemorrhage distribution following preterm rabbit pup IVH. Following IVH in preterm rabbit pups, the distribution of the hemorrhage was investigated. Rabbit pups with IVH or sham controls were euthanized at 72 h of age followed by saline and freshly prepared 4% PFA perfusion. Afterwards the brains were dissected out from the skulls and immersed in 4% PFA. Brains were prepared and sections from Control and IVH animals, at the levels of rostral forebrain (Level 1), caudal forebrain (Level 2), rostral midbrain (Level 3) and caudal midbrain (Level 4), were stained for hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and peroxidase activity of Hb (Peroxidase) as described in the Materials and Methods Section. Microscope analyses were performed on a wide-field Olympus microscope (IX73) and slide scanning were performed on a Hamamatsu NanoZoomer 2.0-HT Digital slide scanner: C10730. Scanning was performed with a 40 × magnification lens. Scale bar indicate 2.5 mm and is applicable for all images.
