Background: Immune system activation in the neonatal period is associated with white matter injury in preterm infants. In animal studies, neonatal priming of the immune system leads to chronic activation of i.e.

Objective: This study aimed to determine long-term neurodevelopmental outcome and cerebral oxygenation in extremely preterm infants, comparing those with a hemodynamic significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) to those without.

Study Design: We included infants born before 28 weeks of gestation from 2008 to 2010 with routine echocardiography. Prior to echocardiography, regional cerebral oxygen saturation was measured.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the use of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) for treating very preterm infants (born at 22 to 31 weeks) across 11 European countries from 2011 to 2012.
  • Out of 7268 infants, 292 received iNO treatment, revealing significant variations in treatment rates between countries, with higher in-hospital mortality rates for those treated with iNO compared to matched controls.
  • Despite the increased mortality during hospitalization, long-term follow-up of 5 years showed no significant risk of neurodevelopmental impairments in the survivors treated with iNO.

CO electrolysis might be a key process to utilize intermittent renewable electricity for the sustainable production of hydrocarbon chemicals without relying on fossil fuels. Commonly used carbon-based gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) enable high Faradaic efficiencies for the desired carbon products at high current densities, but have limited stability. In this study, we explore the adaption of a carbon-free GDE from a Chlor-alkali electrolysis process as a cathode for gas-fed CO electrolysis.

Electrocatalytic CO reduction processes are generally coupled with the oxidation of water. Process economics can greatly improve by replacing the water oxidation with a more valuable oxidation reaction, a process called paired electrolysis. Here we report the feasibility of pairing CO reduction with the oxidation of glycerol on Ni S /NF anodes to produce formate at both anode and cathode.
