Unlabelled: The objective of this study is to evaluate whether early hypoglycemia is an independent risk factor for 2-year cognitive (COG) impairment in small for gestational age (SGA) preterm infants with gestational age (GA) < 32 weeks. We retrospectively reviewed data of 1364 preterm infants with a GA 24-31 weeks. Infants were classified based on blood glucose concentrations within the first 6 h of life (HOL) as < or ≥ 40 mg/dL (Glyc < 40 and Glyc ≥ 40, respectively) and subsequently by birth weight z-score as SGA or appropriate for gestational age (AGA).

Since 2001, the country put in place a multi-species national surveillance plan. The plan was enhanced in 2020 by adopting a fully integrated "One Health" approach, including human, wild bird, equine, and mosquito surveillance for the early detection of WNV.

- * A 42-year-old male patient presented with various symptoms such as vomiting and abdominal pain, and initial diagnoses included pancreatitis, later revealing lung issues through CT scans and blood cultures.
- * This case marked the first documented human infection by this particular bacterium in Italy; the identification was challenging due to the rarity of cases and nonspecific symptoms, but was successfully achieved through advanced genetic testing methods.
Objective: To evaluate the association between mother's own milk (MOM) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in appropriate for gestational age (AGA) preterm infants <32 weeks.
Methods: Clinical data of AGA preterm infants (24-31 weeks) were reviewed. Infants with ≥66% of cumulative prescribed enteral volumes as MOM from birth to 36 weeks were allocated to the high provision of MOM group (H-MOM), whereas those with <66% were assigned to the low provision of MOM group (L-MOM).
