Article Synopsis
- Brief Resolved Unexplained Events (BRUEs) are short episodes in children showing changes in breathing, consciousness, and skin color, and they've been linked to SARS-CoV-2 infection in healthy kids.
- A study compared BRUE cases before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, revealing an increase in cases during the pandemic, with higher birth infection risks but less ongoing symptomatic infections and fever during the episodes.
- The results may impact how healthcare providers manage children with BRUEs in the context of the ongoing pandemic.

Article Synopsis
- Parental stress in NICUs increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, negatively affecting the availability of maternal expressed milk and potentially impacting breastfeeding success, particularly for very preterm infants.
- A study conducted in Italy analyzed two groups of very low birth weight infants, comparing those born before and during the pandemic, revealing a substantial decrease in expressed maternal milk availability but stable rates of formula-fed babies due to donated human milk.
- The need for maternal psychological support was notably higher during the pandemic, with lasting effects requiring longer follow-up, though no major differences in clinical outcomes for the infants were found.
