Introduction: Due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, adjustments in patient and visitor traffic were made in hospitals to limit viral exposure. The primary objective of our study was to compare the breastfeeding success of healthy newborns in a maternity ward during the 2020 lockdown period compared with the same period in the previous year.
Material And Methods: Single-center comparative study based on prospectively collected data.
Background: Fetal tachyarrhythmia is a condition that may lead to cardiac dysfunction, hydrops, and death. Despite a transplacental treatment, failure to obtain or maintain sinus rhythm may occur.
Objective: We aimed to analyze the perinatal outcomes of sustained fetal tachyarrhythmias after in utero treatment.
Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the most common non-genetic cause of hearing loss and neurological disorder in children. Its overall prevalence is approximately 0.5% in Europe.

Design: A retrospective study.
Setting: Reference fetal medicine unit.

Three cases of Bacillus cereus infection or colonization occurred in the same region in France, and milk from the milk bank was suspected as a possible common source of contamination. All Batches delivered to the three cases complied with the requirements of the bacteriological reference method recommended by good practices guidelines. Still, a retrospective analysis with a more sensitive method showed one batch to contain B.

This study aimed at determining the prenatal factors associated with neonatal survival in a cohort of liveborn infants with congenital chylothorax.
Study Design: Observational monocentric cohort study including all liveborn neonates consecutively admitted for congenital chylothorax.
Background: Complete intestinal volvulus is mainly related to congenital anomalies of the so-called intestinal malrotation, whereas segmental volvulus appears as a distinct entity, mostly observed during the perinatal period. Because these two situations are still lumped together, the aim of this study was to describe the particular condition of neonatal segmental volvulus.
Study Design: We analyzed the circumstances of diagnosis and management of 17 consecutives neonates operated for segmental volvulus more than a 10-year period in a single institution.
Objectives: To describe the frequency and nature of premedications used prior to neonatal endotracheal intubation; to confront observed practice with current recommendations; and to identify risk factors for the absence of premedication.
Design, Setting, And Patients: Data concerning intubations were collected prospectively at the bedside as part of an observational study collecting around-the-clock data on all painful or stressful procedures performed in neonates during the first 14 days of their admission to 13 tertiary care units in the region of Paris, France, between 2005 and 2006.
Intervention: Observational study.
