Article Synopsis
- The text discusses advancements in light-driven 3D additive manufacturing, focusing on the photothermal laser-printing of sub-micrometer ZnO structures for microelectronics.
- It highlights three key improvements: using single-crystalline ZnO for better structure, utilizing dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to achieve higher temperatures, and employing specialized substrates for improved light to heat conversion.
- The process is noted for its efficiency since it requires no post-processing and can be conducted without a cleanroom environment, simplifying the fabrication of crystalline semiconductors.
Importance: Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is a major cause of infant death in the US. Previous research suggests that inborn errors of metabolism may contribute to SIDS, yet the relationship between SIDS and biomarkers of metabolism remains unclear.
Objective: To evaluate and model the association between routinely measured newborn metabolic markers and SIDS in combination with established risk factors for SIDS.
Contemporary United States (US) data on the survival of preterm infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) are unavailable despite the over-representation of CHD and improving surgical outcomes in the preterm population. The aim of this study is to use population-based data to compare 1-year survival and early mortality (< 3 days) by gestational age (GA) between preterm infants with and without cyanotic CHD (CCHD) in the US. This national retrospective cohort included all liveborn, preterm infants between 21 and 36 weeks GA with a birth certificate indicating the presence or absence of CCHD (n = 2,654,253) born between 2014 and 2019 in the US.

Study Design: This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study of liveborn newborns either born or transferred to our facility for higher level of care between 2015 and 2020 with gestational age ≥35 weeks and a clinical diagnosis of PPHN in the electronic health record. Newborns with complex congenital heart disease and congenital diaphragmatic hernia were excluded.
