Donohue syndrome (DS) is a rare recessively inherited disorder characterized by severe insulin resistance caused by genetic defects affecting the insulin receptor. The classical clinical characteristics include severe intrauterine growth restriction, craniofacial dysmorphic features, body and skin features, and soft tissue overgrowth. Postnatal growth retardation, cardiac, gastrointestinal, and renal complications, and infection susceptibility develop within the first few months of life, leading to a short life expectancy (<2 years).

Our study objective was to assess nutritional status in the first year after birth with EA and to identify factors associated with growth failure.
Study Design: We conducted a population-based study of all infants born in France with EA between 2010 and 2016.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify factors influencing the need for antireflux surgery in infants with esophageal atresia during their first year of life.
- From a total of 835 infants in a French registry, 682 were evaluated; 53 (7.8%) underwent surgery, with various predictors identified, such as anastomotic tension and low birth weight.
- Key findings suggest that complications like gastroesophageal reflux, poor nutrition, and surgical difficulties significantly increase the likelihood of requiring antireflux surgery in these patients.
Background: Objective tools are needed to improve pain assessment in newborns. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between the Newborn Infant Parasympathetic Evaluation (NIPE) index and two pain scales during a painful procedure in premature infants.
Method: Each baby born at least at 26 weeks of gestational age (GA) undergoing a planned painful procedure in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) was eligible.
ARC syndrome (arthrogryposis - renal dysfunction - cholestasis) is a rare lethal multisystemic autosomal recessive disease. A newborn of consanguineous parents of Algerian descent presented cholestatic jaundice, dehydration, and Fanconi syndrome at 10 days of life. The blood smear showed a very characteristic gray appearance of platelets.
