Laryngeal Mask Airway in Neonatal Resuscitation: A Survey of the Union of European Neonatal and Perinatal Societies.

Introduction: Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) use in neonatal resuscitation is limited despite existing evidence and recommendations. This survey investigated the knowledge and experience of healthcare providers on the use of the LMA and explored barriers and solutions for implementation.

Methods: This online, cross-sectional survey on LMA in neonatal resuscitation involved healthcare professionals of the Union of European Neonatal and Perinatal Societies (UENPS).

The TIMELESS and PARP1 interaction suppresses replication-associated DNA gap accumulation.

TIMELESS (TIM) in the fork protection complex acts as a scaffold of the replisome to prevent its uncoupling and ensure efficient DNA replication fork progression. Nevertheless, its underlying basis for coordinating leading and lagging strand synthesis to limit single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) exposure remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that acute degradation of TIM at ongoing DNA replication forks induces the accumulation of ssDNA gaps stemming from defective Okazaki fragment (OF) processing.

A Survey of the Union of European Neonatal and Perinatal Societies on Neonatal Respiratory Care in Neonatal Intensive Care Units.

(1) Background: Our survey aimed to gather information on respiratory care in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) in the European and Mediterranean region. (2) Methods: Cross-sectional electronic survey. An 89-item questionnaire focusing on the current modes, devices, and strategies employed in neonatal units in the domain of respiratory care was sent to directors/heads of 528 NICUs.

Ultrasound Guidance Superiority in Pediatric Sialorrhea Treatment With Intraglandular Botulinum Toxin Application: A Four-Year Retrospective Study.

Introduction The management of sialorrhea in children with multiple disabilities is extremely important not only for aesthetic/psychosocial reasons but also for functional and clinical ones. There are several recommended management methods with strong evidence of the effectiveness of intraglandular application of botulinum toxin A. Materials and methods In this four-year retrospective report, we compare two populations who received intraglandular type A botulinum toxin injections in the pediatric unit of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) Department at a central hospital.
