Although studies evaluated placental involvement in Covid-19 patients, few have assessed its association with clinical repercussions. The study aimed to determine the association between the clinical status and maternal and perinatal outcomes of patients with Covid-19 at delivery and changes in placental histology. It is so far the largest cohort evaluating placentas of patients infected by the SARS-CoV-2.

- The study aimed to evaluate sleep characteristics in children with congenital Zika syndrome using polysomnography, focusing on respiratory events and neurological classification.
- Out of 65 children studied, a significant number exhibited sleep apnea (35.4%), desaturation (40%), and snoring (20%), with central apnea being the most common type.
- Key findings included lower ferritin levels in most children and the presence of specific neuroimaging abnormalities, with no notable difference in apnea occurrence between neuroclinical and neuroradiological classifications.
