Background: Biliary lithiasis, or sludge, and nephrolithiasis have been reported as a possible complication of ceftriaxone therapy. However, no study related to cefotaxime-induced biliary pseudolithiasis or nephrolithiasis was observed in the literature. Therefore, we investigated the comparative formation of biliary pseudolithiasis and nephrolithiasis after cefotaxime and ceftriaxone therapies.

- The study assessed the effectiveness and risks of acute peritoneal dialysis (APD) in critically ill newborns, involving 31 patients treated between May 2012 and December 2014.
- Researchers found common conditions leading to APD included sepsis, cardiac surgery recovery, and various congenital disorders, with 48.4% experiencing complications like catheter issues and infections.
- While APD showed promise as a viable treatment option, especially for renal issues in newborns, high mortality rates (54.8% overall, 81.3% in premature infants) highlight the need for careful use and further research in larger groups.

Jarcho-Levin syndrome (JLS) is a genetic disorder characterized by distinct malformations of the ribs and vertebrae, and/or other associated abnormalities such as neural tube defect, Arnold-Chiari malformation, renal and urinary abnormalities, hydrocephalus, congenital cardiac abnormalities, and extremity malformations. The study included 12 cases at 37-42 weeks of gestation and diagnosed to have had Jarcho-Levin syndrome, Arnold-Chiari malformation, and meningmyelocele. All cases of Jarcho-Levin syndrome had Arnold-Chiari type 2 malformation; there was corpus callosum dysgenesis in 6, lumbosacral meningmyelocele in 6, lumbal meningmyelocele in 3, thoracal meningmyelocele in 3, and holoprosencephaly in 1 of the cases.
