Is SARS-CoV-2 vertical transmission still a current problem? A case report on a diagnosed SARS-CoV-2 infection with a positive sample of urines.

Background And Aim: Current data suggest little to no possibility of original COVID-19 transmission in pregnant women to the fetus during pregnancy or childbirth. Warning with Omicron new variants has decreased.

Case Report: A clinical case of a SARS-CoV-2 virus transplacental infection of a newborn, born at the end of 2022, from a mother who tested positive for Sars-covid-2 and positive IgM SARS-CoV-2 anti-virus.

Ability of Bifidobacterium breve to grow on different types of milk: exploring the metabolism of milk through genome analysis.

We have investigated the occurrence of bifidobacteria in human milk samples, and we provide evidence regarding the predominance of members of the Bifidobacterium breve species in this environment. Moreover, evaluation of the growth capabilities and transcriptomic analyses of one representative isolate of this species, i.e.

Apparent life threatening event and gastric antral ulcer in a full-term infant: any possible relationship?

We describe the case of an apparently healthy newborn infant who in 7th day of life showed an episode of haematemesis and in 13th day of life presented an episode of apparent life threatening event (ALTE). A fibroscopy of the upper digestive tract showed a great ulcer of the gastric antrum and esophagitis limited to the mucosa. Gastrinemia in the blood showed high values (121 pg/ml).

Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in children with atopic eczema.

Non-specific bronchial hyper-responsiveness has been reported in most of the eczematous children even in the absence of asthmatic symptoms. We therefore investigated the occurrence of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in children with atopic eczema (AE) and the predictors of EIB. Fifty-five children referred to the paediatric clinic for AE and a control group of 17 healthy children were recruited.

Relationships between serum IGF-1, IGFBP-2, interleukin-1beta and interleukin-6 in inflammatory bowel disease.

Aims: To study the relationships between serum IGF-1, IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-2 and interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-6 in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Methods: Thirty-seven patients (18 males, 19 females, aged 8.8-26.
