INTRODUCTION: To establish actionable neonatal screening during the first month of life, we investigated critical diseases in seemingly healthy newborns discharged from birth hospitals. METHODS: This retrospective study enrolled previously healthy full-term infants who visited our hospital, a tertiary hospital in Japan, from home between 5 and 28 days after birth from 2009 to 2018. Infants with known perinatal or congenital diseases, positive newborn screening results, or accidental injuries were excluded...

BACKGROUND: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is associated with cognitive-behavioral deficits in very preterm (VPT) infants, often in the absence of structural brain injury. Advanced GABA-editing techniques like Mescher-Garwood point resolved spectroscopy (MEGA-PRESS) can quantify in-vivo gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA+, with macromolecules) and glutamate (Glx, with glutamine) concentrations to investigate for neurophysiologic perturbations in the developing brain of VPT infants. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between the severity of BPD and basal-ganglia GABA+ and Glx concentrations in VPT infants...

BACKGROUND: Very preterm infants of <29 weeks' gestation are at high risk for adverse neurodevelopment due to multiple risk factors in the early stages of life. There is little information regarding the associative effects of risk factors in early life, neonatal morbidities and subsequent neurodevelopmental outcomes. AIMS: Investigate the association of early neurodevelopmental outcomes, neonatal complications and the risk factors in the early hours of life in a cohort of preterm infants <29 weeks' gestational age...

BACKGROUND: Transcutaneous bilirubin (TCB) measurement is a simple, painless, and time-saving alternative for the assessment of TSB (total serum bilirubin) levels. However, TCB measurements obtained during phototherapy can yield inaccurate results. We evaluated the effectiveness of TCB measurements obtained from protected skin areas in patients who underwent phototherapy. METHODS: This prospective study included neonates delivered at a gestational age of ≥340/7 weeks...

BACKGROUND: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) encompasses a range of hip disorders, from dysplasia to dislocation. One key factor is sex, with women being four to eight times more susceptible to DDH than men. However, there have been no studies investigating the second-to-fourth digit ratio (2D:4D), a biomarker of prenatal sex steroid exposure, in DDH patients. This study aimed to explore whether there is an association between the 2D:4D ratio and DDH. METHODS: Digital calipers were used to measure the second and fourth finger lengths of 250 patients treated for DDH and 200 patients in the healthy control group between January 2020 and January 2023...

BACKGROUND: Neonates requiring early surgical intervention for major non-cardiac congenital anomalies are at high risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Early recognition of potential neuro-developmental delay is critical to facilitate access to early childhood intervention services and therefore maximise the functional capabilities of these children. AIMS: This study aims to compare Bayley's Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (BSID-3) and the Paediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) as early screening tools in predicting neuro-developmental disability across multiple domains...

BACKGROUND: Infancy is a complex period of human life, in which environmental experiences have a fundamental role for neurodevelopment. Although conditions of social and sensory deprivation are uncommon in high income countries, the Covid-19 pandemic abruptly modified this condition, by depriving people of their social stimuli of daily life. AIM: To understand the impact of this deprivation on infants' behaviour, we investigated the short-term effects of isolation and use of individual protective systems by mothers during the first two weeks of life...

BACKGROUND: Infants born at the threshold of viability have a high risk of mortality and morbidity. The British Association of Perinatal Medicine (BAPM) provided updated guidance in 2019 advising a risk-based approach to balancing decisions about active versus redirected care at birth. AIMS: To determine survival and morbidity of infants born between 22 and 24 completed weeks of gestation. To develop a scoring system to categorise infants at birth according to risk for mortality or severe adverse outcome...

BACKGROUND: Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) have gait disorders. Therefore, specific gait assessment tools are needed. AIMS: The aim of this study was to develop a gait assessment instrument for DMD patients (DMD-GAS), and investigate its validity and reliability.

BACKGROUND: The characterization of the phenotype of children with congenital Zika virus syndrome (CZS) is an ongoing process, since many characteristics can only be described with the advancing age of children providing some insights into the long-term sequelae. AIMS: To describe emerging findings on the impact of CZS on language development in children with CZS in a 4-year longitudinal study. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: 39 boys and 44 girls with CZS were allocated into four groups according to age ranging from 12 to 36 months...

BACKGROUND: Advancements in medical technology and pharmacologic interventions have drastically improved survival of infants born preterm and low birth weight, but knowledge regarding the long-term health impacts of these individuals is limited and inconsistent. AIM: To investigate whether an individual's birthweight or history of being born preterm increases the risk of an adverse reproductive outcome.

BACKGROUND: In healthy preterm infants, cortical burst rate and temporal dynamics predict important measures such as brain growth. We hypothesised that in preterm infants with germinal matrix-intraventricular haemorrhage (GM-IVH), cortical bursting could provide prognostic information. AIMS: We determined how cortical bursting was influenced by the injury, and whether this was related to developmental outcome.

BACKGROUND: Hyperbilirubinemia is a clinical picture frequently occurring in the neonatal period and may negatively affect the development of infants. AIMS: To evaluate term infants with hyperbilirubinemia in terms of both motor development and sensory processing skills and to compare them with their healthy peers without hyperbilirubinemia.

PURPOSE: To investigate whether immediate response to inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) therapy is associated with reduced mortality in preterm infants with hypoxemic respiratory failure (HRF) and pulmonary hypertension (PH). METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies was conducted to examine the association between immediate response (improved oxygenation ≤6 h) compared to non-response, and all-cause mortality among preterm infants <34 weeks gestational age without congenital anomalies or genetic disorders who received iNO treatment...

BACKGROUND: In Mongolian-origin ethnic groups digit ratio (2D:4D; a proxy for prenatal sex-steroids) is sexually dimorphic (males < females), as reported for other ethnicities. Most studies measured 2D:4D from soft tissue (directly from the digits, or indirectly from hand scans), or from radiographs. Evidence on the correspondence of 2D:4D measurements from soft tissue with measurements from radiographic images is scarce and has not been reported for a Mongolian-origin sample. In addition, previous research has not considered relationships between 2D:4D and measures of skeletal maturity...

BACKGROUND & AIM: Almost all randomised controlled trials use a Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) diameter ≥ 1.5 mm as the primary criterion to ascribe haemodynamic significance to the PDA. The aim of this study was to evaluate if calculation of a PDA Severity Score (PDAsc) possessed superior intra- and inter-rater reproducibility when compared with the measurement of PDA diameter alone. METHODS: This cross-sectional study assessed echocardiograms performed on infants <30 weeks gestation at 36 to 72 h of age between July 2020 and December 2022 to calculate the PDAsc...
