Article Synopsis
- Recent studies highlight an increasing prevalence of late-onset sepsis caused by fungal infections in immunocompromised patients, particularly concerning newborns in NICUs.
- In a study of 3,519 newborns, very low birth weight (VLBW) infants showed a significantly higher rate of invasive mycoses and funguria compared to heavier neonates.
- The research underscores the importance of monitoring fungal colonization in vulnerable infants, particularly those with low gestational age and extended NICU stays, and suggests enhancing diagnostic techniques to better identify these infections.
Article Synopsis
- Umbilical cord blood's use in hemostasis testing for newborns is under-researched, leading to this study aimed at evaluating its applicability compared to venous blood samples.
- The study involved 187 newborns and found that umbilical cord blood exhibited a hypocoagulable shift in clotting times and fibrinogen levels, while thromboelastometry and thrombodynamics showed a hypercoagulable shift in newborn blood.
- The differences in hemostatic parameters highlight that newborns have distinct coagulation profiles compared to adults, with implications for understanding their physiological and pathological hemostatic features.
Brain injury resulting from adverse events during pregnancy and delivery is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and disability. Surviving neonates often suffer long-term motor, sensory, and cognitive impairments. Birth asphyxia is among the most common causes of neonatal encephalopathy.

- Bowel ultrasound (US) enhances the diagnostic accuracy for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and related complications in premature newborns.
- A study of 84 extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants found specific ultrasound findings linked to stage 3 NEC, including bowel wall thinning and complex ascites, showing a high diagnostic effectiveness of 96.8%.
- Bowel US can complement traditional abdominal radiography, providing better insights for diagnosing infants suspected of having NEC.
Novel temperature-sensitive luminescent materials, BaGdGeO doped with Bi, Bi/Sm or Bi/Eu ions, have been prepared using a conventional solid-state reaction technique. The XRPD study has verified that all the synthesized germanates crystallize in the monoclinic system (space group 2/, = 4). The crystal lattice of the compounds consists of zigzag chains of edge-sharing MeO (Me = Bi, Eu or Sm) dimers, [GeO] units, and ten-coordinated Ba atoms.
