Clinical characteristics, growth patterns, and long-term diabetes complications of 24 patients with neonatal diabetes mellitus: A single center experience.

Objectives: Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare form of monogenic diabetes, diagnosed before age 6 months. We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics, molecular genetics, and long-term follow-up of NDM patients from a single pediatric endocrine center in Israel.

Methods: Retrospective study (1975-2020) of all patients diagnosed with diabetes before 6 months of age, who tested negative for pancreatic autoantibodies.

Teaching clinicians practical genomic medicine: 7 years' experience in a tertiary care center.

Purpose: Increased implementation of complex genetic technologies in clinical practice emphasizes the urgency of genomic literacy and proficiency for medical professionals. We evaluated our genomic education model.

Methods: We assessed the 5-day, extended format program, encompassing lectures, videos, interactive tests, practice cases, and clinical exercises.

Outcome of breastfed infants following post-partum methylergonovine treatment.

Objective: To evaluate maternal and breastfed infant's outcome following post-partum maternal use of methylergonovine.

Percutaneous intraperitoneal catheters in neonates following open heart surgery.

Objective: Ascitic fluid in the peritoneal cavity may severely impair respiratory and renal function following neonatal heart surgery. It has been our practice to liberally insert percutaneous peritoneal catheters (PPCs) in order to manage fluid balance and thereby improve ventilatory function. We herein report our experience with PPC.
