Congenital leukemia with leukemia cutis: a case report.

Congenital leukemia is a rare malignancy. Most of the neonatal cases reported have acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia. A number of chromosomal translocations and deletions have been found carrying an unfavorable prognosis.

Outcome of very-low-birth-weight infants who received epinephrine in the delivery room.

Background: In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants and an improvement in their survival. However, there are no specific recommendations regarding the use of resuscitative efforts for VLBW infants, and there is scant data in the literature on morbidity and mortality in relation to epinephrine administration. Due to the vulnerability of VLBW infants, studies that examine the effects and consequences of cardiovascular resuscitation and epinephrine administration are needed.
