Introduction: We aimed to retrospectively evaluate the use of acetaminophen, which may be a risk factor for the ductal canal, in the treatment of fever due to prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) infusion in newborns with critical congenital heart disease (CCHD).
Methods: The study included newborns who were followed-up in our neonatal intensive care unit with the diagnosis of critical congenital heart disease, developed fever due to PGE1 infusion and had acetaminophen administered for antipyretic treatment. The patent ductus arteriosus diameters of the patients were evaluated by echocardiographic imaging before intravenous acetaminophen treatment and at the end of the day of acetaminophen treatment.
Background: Vasoactive inotrope score, renal score, fibrosis-5 index, and lactate-albumin ratio have not been investigated before in determining multiple organ dysfunctions accompanying infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The aim of this study was to determine whether multiple organ dysfunctions that may accompany HIE in infants are correlated with vasoactive inotrope score (VIS), renal score (RS), fibrosis-5 index (FIB-5), and lactate-albumin ratio (LAR), and whether these parameters can predict morbidity and mortality.
Methods: This is a retrospective study, and 106 newborns diagnosed with HIE and treated with hypothermia were included in the study.
Purpose: Delays in the diagnosis and treatment of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) may lead to laboratory and clinical decompensation in infants. The aim of this study was to determine whether pyloric measurement parameters can be effectively used in the clinical prognosis of IHPS by evaluating the relationship between pyloric dimensions on ultrasonographic evaluation at the time of presentation and clinical and laboratory parameters in infants with pyloric stenosis.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on 122 infants who were followed up with the diagnosis of IHPS in our neonatal clinic and operated on by a pediatric surgeon between January 2005 and December 2020.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of genetic factors in infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis and its associated rare diseases.
- It involves a retrospective analysis of neonates from 2000 to 2022 who underwent surgery for this condition and had additional health complications.
- The findings indicate that 9.8% of these patients had a rare disease, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and treatment to improve health outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- Cardiac rhabdomyoma is the most common benign heart tumor in children, often linked to tuberous sclerosis, and this study analyzed cases diagnosed in newborns at a single center.
- Over 12 years, 12 newborns were evaluated, revealing that half had tuberous sclerosis and highlighting the average age for diagnosis and treatment experiences with everolimus.
- The findings indicate that many cardiac rhabdomyomas shrink on their own, but proper monitoring is essential, especially for those with severe cases that could lead to life-threatening issues.
