Introduction: The published evidence on the association between magnesium sulphate (MgSO) and delayed passage of meconium (DPM) is contradictory.
Objectives: To determine whether there is an association between the administration of MgSO to the mother and DPM in the neonate, and to analyse serum magnesium levels in neonates in relation to the cumulative dose of MgSO administered to the mother.
Population And Methods: Retrospective and prospective descriptive and analytical study conducted in patients delivered at or before 32 weeks of gestation in 2 tertiary care hospitals.
Introduction: Magnesium sulphate (MgSO) therapy has shown to be useful as a neurological protector in the preterm newborn below 32 weeks of gestation. The most documented adverse effect is cardiorespiratory failure, whereas its relationship with meconium obstruction is controversial. The main objective of this study was to analyse the possible association between prenatal MgSO therapy and meconium obstruction.

Retrospective study including 84 neonates ≥ 36 weeks of gestational age with HIE and TH with SEPs performed in the first 14 days of life. SEPs from the median nerve were performed after completion of TH.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the pathophysiological pathways linked to neurodevelopmental disorders (ND) in very preterm (VPTN) and extremely preterm newborns (EPTN), aiming to track ND emergence and factors influencing it from birth to age 6.
- - It employs a longitudinal, multicenter approach involving two cohorts, assessing over a six-year period to discover urinary metabolomic biomarkers and DNA methylation patterns that could predict ND.
- - The findings aim to enhance early identification of clinical, environmental, and biological factors related to ND, potentially leading to non-invasive biomarkers for timely and tailored interventions for affected children.

Introduction: Hypothermia treatment has improved the prognosis of asphyxiated neonates. Widely used, it has demonstrated to be safe without severe side effects. The aim of this article is to review the incidence of stridor amongst asphyxiated newborns treated with hypothermia in our unit.
