Mild to moderate cases of NEC require medical treatment, whereas severe cases necessitate surgical intervention. However, evidence for surgical indications is limited and largely dependent on the surgeon's experience, leading to variability in outcomes.

Infantile fibrosarcoma (IFS) is a rare tumor in childhood characterized by a single, localized, painless mass that grows rapidly but has a relatively indolent biological behavior and a favorable prognosis. Eighty-five percent of infantile fibrosarcomas are associated with t (12;15) (p13;25) chromosomal translocation resulting in ETV6-NTRK3 gene fusion, which provides the target for targeted therapy. Here, we report a case of IFS in a newborn with a mass in the left lower extremity confirmed by imaging, histopathological examination, tissue FISH testing, and high-throughput sequencing to detect gene rearrangement.

Bilirubin neurotoxicity is a serious consequence of hyperbilirubinemia, which is the most common disease of the neonatal period. Clinically, bilirubin neurotoxicity can result in motor deficit, auditory dysfunction, cerebral palsy, seizure and neurodevelopmental diseases, amongst others. Bilirubin neurotoxicity is one of the major worldwide causes of neonatal brain injury, especially in poorer developing countries.

To establish a clinical prediction rule for acute bilirubin encephalopathy (ABE) in term/near-term neonates with extreme hyperbilirubinemia.A retrospective cohort study was conducted between January 2015 and December 2018. Six hundred seventy-three out of 26,369 consecutive neonates with extreme hyperbilirubinemia were enrolled in this study.

Sneddon's syndrome (SS) is an uncommon disorder, characterized by the association of ischemic stroke and widespread livedo reticularis. The treatment options for SS to prevent stroke recurrence and future disability include antiplatelet therapy, anticoagulation, or immunosuppression. We describe a patient with SS who presented with an acute ischemic stroke, and was treated with intravenous recombinant tissue-plasminogen activator with significant neurologic improvement.
