Case Series of COVID-19 Asymptomatic Newborns With Possible Intrapartum Transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

Despite the pandemic, data are limited regarding COVID-19 infection in pregnant women and newborns. This report aimed to bring new information about presentation that could modify precautionary measures for infants born of mothers with a remote history of COVID-19. We report two infants with possible maternofetal transmission, and four mothers without immunologic reactions.

Staphylococcus capitis isolated from bloodstream infections: a nationwide 3-month survey in 38 neonatal intensive care units.

To increase the knowledge about S. capitis in the neonatal setting, we conducted a nationwide 3-month survey in 38 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) covering 56.6% of French NICU beds.

Neonatal diabetes mellitus: improved screening and early management of an underestimated disease.

Neonatal diabetes mellitus is underdiagnosed in the neonatal period because of the metabolic adaptation capacities of the newborns. However, it is associated with increased risk of short- and long-term morbidity; when transient it may recurs in adulthood. It is important to improve screening and early management with appropriate guidelines.

Echocardiography as a guide for patent ductus arteriosus ibuprofen treatment and efficacy prediction.

Objective: To evaluate echocardiography criteria in predicting the response to ibuprofen treatment.

Design: A prospective cohort study of preterm infants untreated or treated with ibuprofen for patent ductus arteriosus.

Setting: Three academic neonatal intensive care units.

Arterial switch operation with a single coronary artery: the autograft concept.

A single coronary artery, especially if associated with anterior looping, remains a risk factor when performing an arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries. In such a situation, to avoid the risk of overstretching, we used a modification of the aortic autograft concept to transfer the single coronary artery, resulting in a tension-free relocation.
