Effects of Carbon Templates in Tetraethyl Orthosilicate-Derived Superhydrophobic Coatings.

Superhydrophobic coatings have garnered significant research interest due to their potential applications in areas such as ant-icing and windows. This study focuses on the development of superhydrophobic coatings using air-assisted electrospray and the effect of different carbon additives as templates in the coating. Carbon templates, with their unique topological varieties, offer a cost-effective alternative to other patterning technologies such as photolithography.

Newborn follow-up after discharge from the maternity unit: Compliance with national guidelines.

Background: In the context of shorter hospital stays in maternity units, in 2014 the French health authorities issued guidelines for newborn follow-up after discharge from maternity units. A medical visit is recommended between the 6th and 10th day of life, as are home visits from midwives. This study was designed to evaluate compliance with these guidelines.

[Ruptured mycotic aneurysm with hemoperitoneum: an unusual septic complication of umbilical arterial catheter].

Arterial aneurysms are rare in infants and are usually associated with cardiovascular malformations or connective tissue disorders. Mycotic aneurysms of the aorta or its major branches have been described in newborn infants with septicemia originating from an indwelling umbilical artery catheter. We report a case of a newborn infant with a mycotic aneurysm complicated by massive hemoperitoneum.

[Septic shock due to congenital disseminated toxoplasmosis?].

Congenital toxoplasmosis secondary to maternal primary infection acquired late during pregnancy is generally asymptomatic at birth. We report a case of a newborn infant whose mother had been infected between the 27th and the 33rd week of gestation. No treatment had been given during gestation.
