Ultrasound evaluation of diaphragm kinetics after minimally invasive surfactant administration.

Purpose: Concerns remain on different alveolar deposition of surfactant between LISA and INSURE methods. Ultrasound evaluation of diaphragm kinetics may provide clinical evidence on this issue, as indirect representation of the respiratory system compliance.

Methods: This was a prospective-observational pilot study.

Cerebral Sinovenous Thrombosis in the Asphyxiated Cooled Infants: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background: Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis is unusual in the asphyxiated cooled infants, but reliable data regarding the incidence of this comorbidity are lacking. We assessed the incidence of sinovenous thrombosis in a population of asphyxiated cooled infants by performing routine brain magnetic resonance venography.

Methods: All asphyxiated infants who underwent therapeutic cooling at our institution completed brain magnetic resonance venography after rewarming.

Breastfeeding and transmission of cytomegalovirus to preterm infants. Case report and kinetic of CMV-DNA in breast milk.

Background: Breastfeeding has a major impact on CMV epidemiology. Postnatal CMV reactivation's incidence during lactation is nearby the maternal seroprevalence. Although perinatal CMV infection has practically no consequences in term newborn, it may cause, in some cases, a severe symptomatic disease in preterm newborns.
