Background: The interplay between peritoneal dialysis (PD), residual kidney function (RKF), and thyroid function remains poorly understood, with limited prospective studies comparing thyroid function in PD versus hemodialysis (HD) patients.
Methods: This prospective single-center study assessed thyroid function in 18 PD patients over a 24-month follow-up period at the Department of Nephrology, Dialysis, and Kidney Transplantation, UHC Rijeka, Croatia. Data were compared to 24 concurrently treated HD patients.
Background And Aim: First, to compare somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) in preterm newborns without major brain injury studied at term equivalent age (TEA) with a term historical control group. Second, to investigate the impact of pain exposure during the first 28 days after birth on SEPs. Third, to evaluate the association between SEPs and Bayley-III at 2 years corrected age (CA).

- The study investigated how perinatal risk factors, like prematurity and morphine use, affected flash-VEP (visual event-related potentials) waves in preterm infants at their term equivalent age (TEA).
- Researchers looked at a group of infants born before 32 weeks, analyzing various measures of VEP and their correlation with neurological outcomes at 2 years corrected age (CA).
- Results showed that morphine and lower gestational age impacted VEP wave latencies, but VEP morphology did not predict cognitive or motor scores, suggesting caution in morphine use due to potential neurodevelopment risks.
Aggregate Channel Features for newborn face detection in Neonatal Intensive Care Units.
Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc
July 2022
An efficient face detector could be very helpful to point out possible neurological dysfunctions such as seizure events in Neonatal Intensive Care Units. However, its development is still challenging because large public datasets of newborns' faces are missing. Over the years several studies introduced semi-automatic approaches.

Since the literature does not seem to describe cases of giant SEP in newborns, in this case report, we will discuss the hypotheses underlying this potential.
