Article Synopsis
- Hospital A, with an infectious disease specialist program, had better management of CDI, avoiding unnecessary treatments and leading in guideline adherence compared to Hospital B.
- Both hospitals showed no significant differences in mortality and recurrence rates, but Hospital B had higher chances of patient readmission and emergency visits due to CDI.
- Overall, specialized CDI programs help improve patient care and may lead to more efficient use of hospital resources.
Purpose: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a respiratory morbidity related to prematurity. Early prediction of BPD allows the selection of patients who would benefit from new therapies. Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that has proven to be reliable for many neonatal diseases recently.

- * All affected individuals showed symptoms like muscle weakness and spasticity starting in childhood, with nerve conduction studies indicating axonal motor neuropathy.
- * Research on C. elegans mutants and potential treatment options indicates that targeted therapies might help manage RTN2-related conditions despite no significant structural changes observed in patient fibroblasts.
Purpose: To evaluate the difference in cerebral blood flow in neonates with and without extreme unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia.
Methods: Transcranial Doppler parameters of 26 full term newborns with extreme unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia (UCH) were compared to 13 postnatal age and sex matched normal healthy neonates serving as controls. Resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI) and peak systolic velocity (PSV) were measured in the middle cerebral, internal carotid and posterior cerebral arteries on both sides by transcranial color Doppler ultrasound.
