Importance: Preventive efforts in pregnancy-related alloimmunization have considerably decreased the prevalence of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). International studies are therefore essential to obtain a deeper understanding of the postnatal management and outcomes of HDFN. Taken together with numerous treatment options, large practice variations among centers may exist.

- The study explores how different dietary fat intakes affect glucagon levels, crucial for lipid metabolism, using 92 twins on a low-fat diet (LFD) followed by a high-fat diet (HFD) and some on a high-protein diet (HPD).
- Results showed a significant reduction in glucagon levels during the LFD, while transitioning to the HFD led to a marked increase in glucagon and a decrease in free fatty acids. The HPD further elevated glucagon levels despite stable fasting amino acids.
- Overall, the findings suggest that a high-fat diet boosts glucagon levels and improves the glucagon-to-insulin ratio, potentially helping to prevent fat accumulation in the
Background/objectives: Long hospitalisation has been recognized as an independent risk factor for poor neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants. Systematic training and early inclusion of parents in their preterm infant's care is a strategy to shorten the length of hospital stay. We implemented an enhanced stepwise family-centred care program and assessed its effects on postmenstrual age (PMA) at discharge and parental satisfaction.

- - Cefiderocol is a new type of antibiotic designed to treat severe infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as sepsis and certain types of pneumonia in adults.
- - Its use in newborns is limited, with only a few documented cases so far.
- - The text highlights a successful treatment case where cefiderocol was used to treat a newborn with pneumonia-related sepsis caused by the bacteria Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
