Background: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a major health concern, particularly for infants. In France, Nirsevimab, a long-acting monoclonal antibody to prevent RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) was available from September 2023. We described RSV-associated LRTI hospitalisations during the 2023-2024 season among infants younger than six months born at the Hospices Civils de Lyon (HCL), and evaluated the effectiveness of Nirsevimab against RSV-LRTI hospitalisation.

- * Conducted retrospectively, the research included infants born before 32 weeks of gestation from 2012 to 2021, analyzing various support methods used and outcomes of early or late weaning failure.
- * Results showed that 43% of infants were weaned before 6 months of age, with factors like the duration of invasive ventilation and postnatal steroid treatment linked to later weaning failures.
Aim: To determine the impact of the protocol change from slow to fast enteral feeding progression on duration of central venous catheter placement, and the rates of late-onset sepsis and necrotising enterocolitis.
Methods: We compared the evolution of all very low-birth-weight infants admitted on their first postnatal day in neonatal intensive care unit during a 12-month period, before (2021 Cohort) and after (2022 Cohort) implementation of a new feeding protocol. Linear regression model was used to adjust for confounding factors.
In the absence of any complaints in early childhood, preterm children remain more at risk of encountering academic difficulties, but their clinical picture remains not well characterized. We screened visuospatial perception in 70 children born preterm consulting for scholar complaints. Developmental Coordination Disorder (with or without comorbidities) was associated with high prevalence (27%) of impaired perception of spatial relationship.

The present study aimed to estimate the fetal dose received following a PET/CT exposure using methods that include anthropomorphic phantoms of pregnant women applied on a large cohort.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective multicenter study included 18 pregnant patients in the second and third trimesters.
