Background: If a newborn does not pass the first bowel movement within 48 hours, there may be an underlying cause. We describe a rare cause of delayed meconium passage.
Case Description: The neonate was born after a gestational age of 40 weeks and 2 days.

Article Synopsis
- In 2010, the Dutch doctors decided to start treating babies born at 24 weeks instead of waiting until 25 weeks, and they studied what happened to these babies by 2 years old.
- They looked at nearly a thousand babies born between 24 and 26 weeks, and found that about 66% survived to be 2 years old, with most doing okay and a few having more serious problems.
- The study showed that treating babies born earlier didn't lead to a lot more severe problems, and that babies born at 26 weeks did better than those born at 24 weeks.
Objective: To test the ability of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, Third Edition (ASQ3) to help identify or exclude neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) in very preterm-born children at the corrected age of two.
Methods: We studied the test results of 224 children, born at <32 postmenstrual weeks, who had scores on ASQ3 and Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (BSIDIII) and neurological examination at 22-26 months' corrected age. We defined NDI as a score of <70 on the cognitive--or motor composite scale of BSIDIII, or impairment on neurological examination or audiovisual screening.
Background And Objective: High bilirubin/albumin (B/A) ratios increase the risk of bilirubin neurotoxicity. The B/A ratio may be a valuable measure, in addition to the total serum bilirubin (TSB), in the management of hyperbilirubinemia. We aimed to assess whether the additional use of B/A ratios in the management of hyperbilirubinemia in preterm infants improved neurodevelopmental outcome.

Design And Methods: Out of a total of 193 pediatric inulin clearance studies, a random sample of 85 steroid-free studies served to establish GFR prediction equations (eGFR), which were used to compare the remaining 76 steroid-free and 32 steroid-positive studies (median prednisone dose 33.0 mg m(-2) day(-1)).
