Congenital lymphatic dysplasia and severe bone disease in a term neonate with a novel homozygous variant.

We report a patient with nonimmune fetal hydrops and multiple pathologic fractures. RNA analysis revealed a novel variant. This report is the first to elucidate PIEZO1's role as a critical regulator of bone mass and strength.

Massive fetomaternal haemorrhage warranting novel use of tandem isovolumetric partial exchange transfusion and therapeutic hypothermia.

A newborn male infant was pale, hypotonic, and had respiratory distress after delivery. Venous cord blood gas revealed a severe metabolic acidosis. His initial examination was consistent with moderate encephalopathy and laboratory testing uncovered severe congenital anaemia (haematocrit 0.

Evaluating WIC Engagement and Food Insecurity Among Active Duty Military Families.

Introduction: Nearly a quarter of active duty service members identified as food insecure in a 2022 Department of Defense report. Food insecurity impacts military readiness, retention, and recruitment. The Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a federal food supplementation program that can mitigate food insecurity for service members with children less than 5 years of age.

Potential Neurodevelopmental Effects of Pediatric Intensive Care Sedation and Analgesia: Repetitive Benzodiazepine and Opioid Exposure Alters Expression of Glial and Synaptic Proteins in Juvenile Rats.

Unlabelled: Sedatives are suspected contributors to neurologic dysfunction in PICU patients, to whom they are administered during sensitive neurodevelopment. Relevant preclinical modeling has largely used comparatively brief anesthesia in infant age-approximate animals, with insufficient study of repetitive combined drug administration during childhood. We hypothesized that childhood neurodevelopment is selectively vulnerable to repeated treatment with benzodiazepine and opioid.

Association Between Use of Multiple Classes of Antibiotic in Infancy and Allergic Disease in Childhood.

This study examines the association between antibiotic use in the first 6 months of life and the emergence of allergies in children in the first few years of life.
