Article Synopsis
- A study examined the pleural line thickness in neonates with various respiratory issues to determine how it changes during breathing cycles.
- Findings showed that pleural line thickness is slightly thicker at the end of expiration compared to the end of inspiration across all groups, with some differences noted between healthy and affected neonates.
- The study achieved high agreement in measurements between raters and establishes baseline data on pleural line thickness, which could guide future research in neonatal respiratory care.
Objectives: A new device is available for neonates needing extracorporeal renal replacement therapy. We reviewed the use of this device (in continuous venovenous hemofiltration [CVVH] mode) in term or preterm neonates affected by multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) with fluid overload.
Design: Case series.
Background: For infants exposed in utero to Toxoplasma gondii, current guidelines recommend monitoring the specific antibody titer until 12 months of age. In this study, we investigated the antibody titer decay in the mother-infant dyad.
Methods: This is a single center, population-based cohort study of neonates referred for prenatal exposure to Toxoplasma gondii from January 2014 to December 2020.
