Background: Executive function, adaptive function, and behavioral outcomes in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) survivors have not been well studied.

Aim: To evaluate executive and neurobehavioral dysfunction in preschool and early school-aged children with CDH.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Background: We evaluated the impact of delivery at a comprehensive fetal care center co-located in a pediatric hospital on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) exposure and survivorship of children with CDH.

Methods: This retrospective study includes maternal-fetal dyads with a prenatal diagnosis of isolated CDH who received any prenatal care at a single fetal center between February 2006 and March 2021. The principal variables included: (1) delivery setting (children born in the pediatric hospital ["inborn"] vs.

Objectives: We aimed to determine the prevalence of electrographic seizures and associated odds of adverse outcomes of electrographic seizures in neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Design: Retrospective, descriptive case series.

Setting: Neonatal ICU (NICU) in a quaternary care institution.

Background: The utilization of 3-T magnetic field strength in obstetric imaging is increasingly common. It is important to ensure that magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with higher magnetic field strength is safe for the fetus. Comparison of neurodevelopmental outcome in neonates undergoing prenatal MR imaging with 1.

Objective: To examine the association between prenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based observed/expected total lung volume (O/E TLV) and outcome in neonates with giant omphalocele (GO).

Methods: Between 06/2004 and 12/2019, 67 cases with isolated GO underwent prenatal and postnatal care at our institution. MRI-based O/E TLVs were calculated based on normative data from Meyers and from Rypens and correlated with postnatal survival and morbidities.

Bee health is declining on a global scale, yet the exact causes and their interactions responsible for the decline remain unknown. To more objectively study bee health, recently biomarkers have been proposed as an essential tool, because they can be rapidly quantified and standardized, serving as a comparable measure across bee species and varying environments. Here, we used a systems biology approach to draw associations between endogenous and exogenous chemical profiles, with pesticide exposure, or the abundance of the 21 most common honey bee diseases.

Use of chemicals, such as alarm pheromones, for rapid communication with conspecifics is widespread throughout evolutionary history. Such chemicals are particularly important for social insects, such as the honeybee (), because they are used for collective decision-making, coordinating activities and self-organization of the group. What is less understood is how these pheromones change due to an infection and what the implications might be for social communication.

Honey bee (Apis mellifera) health has been severely impacted by multiple environmental stressors including parasitic infection, pesticide exposure, and poor nutrition. The decline in bee health is therefore a complex multifactorial problem which requires a holistic investigative approach. Within the exposome paradigm, the combined exposure to the environment, drugs, food, and individuals' internal biochemistry affects health in positive and negative ways.
