Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how doctors treat babies with a serious condition called long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) using special methods.
- They checked the medical records of 10 patients and found that different surgical techniques were used, like the Foker and Gazi methods, to help the babies eat normally.
- It was important for these surgeries to be done by skilled surgeons in special hospitals to get the best results for the babies.
In this narrative review, we summarize the current knowledge and applications of somatic near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), with a focus on intestinal, renal, limb, and multi-site applications in neonates. Assessing somatic oxygenation at various body locations in neonates may aid in the understanding of underlying pathophysiology of organ injury. Considering cerebral autoregulation may be active to protect the brain during systemic circulatory failure, peripheral somatic oxygenation may potentially provide an early indication of neonatal cardiovascular failure and ultimate hypoxemic injury to vital organs including the brain.

Background: Blood pressure is a vital hemodynamic marker during the neonatal period. However, normative values are often derived from small observational studies. Understanding the normative range would help to identify ideal thresholds for intervention to treat hypotension or hypertension.

- Family Integrated Care (FICare) has been effective in supporting sick neonates and their families, but its implementation is mostly limited to developed countries, prompting the need for adaptations to make it more widely applicable.
- The RISEinFAMILY project is researching an adapted FICare model through a multinational trial involving several countries, including Spain, the UK, and Zambia, focusing on infant-family dyads in Neonatal Intensive Care Units.
- The study aims to assess how well this new model can work in different cultural and socio-economic settings, while also comparing its effects on newborn outcomes, family mental health, and healthcare professional satisfaction against standard care methods.
Article Synopsis
- Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a group of skin disorders that lead to the condition known as collodion baby at birth, with subtypes including Harlequin ichthyosis, lamellar ichthyosis, and others.
- A male newborn was diagnosed with non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NBCIE) and had whole exome sequencing which identified two specific gene variants in a compound heterozygous state.
- This case is notable because it presents the first instance of two genetic variants associated with NBCIE, diverging from the previously reported cases linked to bathing suit ichthyosis (BSI).
