Seventeen-day-old twins were hospitalized for neonatal herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) with central nervous system disease and internal capsule and thalamic lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). They were treated with the usual intravenous (IV) treatment and oral therapy for 6 months. The clinical course was good in both children with negative HSV polymerase chain reaction on completion of IV therapy.

- Early hypoproteinemia in preterm infants (less than 32 weeks' gestation) is linked to a higher risk of severe adverse outcomes, such as death or severe neurological injury.
- A study involving 128 infants assessed cardiovascular function and blood flow using Doppler ultrasound and near-infrared spectroscopy, revealing that hypoproteinemic infants faced more cardiovascular difficulties.
- The findings suggest that hypoproteinemia correlates with impaired organ perfusion and cardiovascular function, indicating a need for further research to understand this relationship better.
Background: Evaluation of the right ventricle (RV) using transthoracic echocardiography is challenging in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF).
Aims: To evaluate the accuracy of conventional echocardiographic variables and real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) in assessing right ventricular (RV) volumes and function compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in adult patients with rTOF and referred for pulmonary valve replacement (PVR).
Methods: Complete echocardiography was performed on 26 consecutive patients referred for PVR, before and 1 year after surgery.
A 10-year-old child was hospitalized for bradycardia during a viral infection with chikungunya. His history showed unexplored episodes of bradycardia. Cardiologic explorations revealed cardiac sinus node dysfunction (SD).
