Eat, Sleep, Console and Adjunctive Buprenorphine Improved Outcomes in Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome.

Background: The worsening opioid crisis has increased the number of infants exposed to maternal opioids. Standard treatment of newborns exposed to opioids prenatally often requires prolonged hospitalization and separation of the mother-infant dyad. These practices can potentially increase severity of withdrawal symptoms, interrupt breastfeeding, and disturb mother-infant bonding.

Infantile Hemangioma: A Review of Current Pharmacotherapy Treatment and Practice Pearls.

Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common vascular tumor of infancy, affecting as many as 5% to 10% of all infants. The exact cause is unclear, but specific risk factors, such as low birth weight, prematurity, female sex, white race, and family history are associated with IH development. Most IHs are benign and self-resolving, but a small subset of patients with IHs are at risk of severe or life-threatening outcomes.
