Clear amniotic fluid aspiration syndrome: A novel description of an old entity.

Background: Clear amniotic fluid aspiration syndrome (CAF-AS) is a very rare event occurring in 0.25% of our term clear amniotic fluids deliveries. The study's aims were: 1.

Urinary protein to creatinine ratio during the first month of life in very preterm infants-a prospective cohort study (PROTIPREMA).

Background: Preterm infants have physiological proteinuria and values of urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPr/Cr) are higher compared to full-term infants during the first week of life. Few investigations explored the changes of proteinuria in very preterm infants (VPI, ≤ 31 weeks of gestation) older than a week, and it is unclear whether high and persistent proteinuria is associated with kidney injury in this population. This study aimed to (1) observe the changes of UPr/Cr during the first month of life in VPI and (2) describe clinical and biological variables associated with the changes of UPr/Cr.

Distribution of proteinuria- and albuminuria-to-creatinine ratios in preterm newborns.

Background: Urine protein assessment is important when glomerular disease or injury is suspected. Normal values of proteinuria already published for preterm newborns suffer from limitation, with small cohorts of patients. This prospective study was conducted to update the urine total protein- and albumin-to-creatinine ratio values.

Stress: A Factor Explaining the Gap Between Simulated and Clinical Procedure Success.

Background: Stress may impair the success of procedures in emergency medicine. The aims were to assess residents' stress during simulated and clinical lumbar punctures (LPs) and to explore the correlation of stress and performance.

Methods: A prospective study (2013-2016) was carried out in a pediatric emergency department.
