Background: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of intranasal dexmedetomidine in reducing pain scores during retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening examinations in preterm infants.
Methods: Infants born at ≤32 weeks of gestational age, undergoing routine ROP examinations in the neonatal intensive care unit, were included in the study and divided into two groups: the standard protocol group ( = 43) and the dexmedetomidine group ( = 56), over a 1-year period. Both groups received standard procedural preparation including swaddling, oral dextrose, and topical anesthesia with proparacaine.
Background: Perilipin 2 (PLIN2) is a protein that contributes to the formation and stability of lipid droplets. It has been associated with the development of several diseases, particularly related to glucose and lipid metabolism. In infants of diabetic mother (IDM), fetal hyperinsulinaemia leads to increased adipose tissue and macrosomia.

Methods: Between 2016 and 2023, the study examined infants of mothers who underwent organ transplantation and were receiving immunosuppressive treatment, and followed at the Department of Neonatology at Akdeniz University. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of mothers and infants were recorded.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the incidence of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in infants ≥36 weeks gestational age in Turkey, finding an incidence rate of 2.13 per 1000 live births, with varying severity levels among those affected.
- - Among infants with HIE, therapeutic hypothermia (TH) was notably administered to 34.5% of those with mild HIE, while factors like gestational age affected mortality rates, especially in those born at 34-35 weeks.
- - Despite an unchanged incidence of HIE, the study revealed a decreased mortality rate and no significant impact of TH timing on MRI findings or mortality.
Aim: The concept of regaining childbearing ability via uterus transplantation (UTx) motivates many infertile women to pursue giving birth to their own children. This article provides insight into maternal and neonatal outcomes of the procedure globally and facilitates quality of care in related medical fields.
Methods: The authors searched ISI Web of Science, MEDLINE, non-PubMed-indexed journals, and common search engines to identify peer-review publications and unpublished sources in scientific reference databases.
