Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the significance of gut microbiota in infant health, emphasizing its impact on later health outcomes and identifying research trends in this field over the past two decades.
  • Using bibliometric analysis, the researchers examined 9,899 scholarly articles from 2004 to 2024, revealing that the US, China, and Italy lead in research output, with the University of California System being the most productive institution.
  • Key findings highlight a focus on diseases like atopic dermatitis and necrotizing enterocolitis, with emerging trends in mother-to-infant microbiome transmission and microbial treatments such as probiotics and human milk oligosaccharides.

Background: Neonatal palliative care is an essential component of comprehensive neonatal care; however, its implementation remains challenging worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries due to limited resources, cultural barriers, and lack of training.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the structural characteristics of neonatal nurses' attitudes towards neonatal palliative care and their intention to provide such care using network analysis to identify key influencing factors and interrelationships.

Design: A multi-center cross-sectional study.

Background: Premature infants commonly encounter difficulties with oral feeding, a complication that extends hospital stays, affects infants' quality of life, and imposes substantial burdens on families and society. Enhancing preterm infants' oral feeding skills and facilitating their transition from parenteral or nasal feeding to full oral feeding pose challenges for neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) healthcare professionals. Research indicates that oral motor interventions (OMIs) can enhance preterm infants' oral feeding capabilities and expedite the transition from feeding initiation to full oral feeding.

Article Synopsis
  • Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare congenital skin disorder with nine types, with Type I being the most common and Type V being a rare subtype related to fetus papyraceus.
  • A case of a male newborn with Type V ACC presented extensive abdominal skin defects, treated conservatively with hydrogel and silicone foam dressings, leading to significant healing.
  • After a four-month follow-up, while scar tissue developed in the trunk area, the now 2-year-old child showed no organ issues during physical examination.

Epicutaneo-caval catheter (ECC) has been widely used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). ECC line Knots in intravascular is an unexpected complication and has been reported in adults mostly. Few cases reported knot formation during ECC insertion and removal in neonates.

Article Synopsis
  • * Results showed that mothers and infants have distinct gut microbiota profiles, with infant microbiomes being variable but following predictable patterns, and most CS infants (65.6%) did not receive microbial strains from their mothers.
  • * Comparisons with Finnish data revealed that the method of delivery significantly affects strain transmission, with a much higher strain transfer observed in vaginal delivery (VD) infants compared to CS infants.

Background: This study aimed to compare the predictive values of eight scoring systems (Neonatal Critical Illness Score [NCIS], Neonatal Therapeutical Intervention Score System [NTISS], Clinical Risk Index for Babies [CRIB], Clinical Risk Index for Babies II [CRIB-II], Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology Perinatal Extension [SNAPPE], Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology Perinatal Extension II [SNAPPE-II], Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology [SNAP], and Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology II [SNAP-II]) for the mortality risk among preterm infants.

Methods: The Embase, PubMed, Chinese Biomedical Database, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched to collect studies that compared different scoring systems in predicting the mortality risk in preterm infants from database inception to March 2023. Literature screening, data extraction, and bias risk assessment were independently conducted by two researchers.

Background: Symptomatic urachal anomalies are rare disorders. The management of urachal remnants has historically been surgical excision because of the connection between urachal remnants and risk of malignancy development later in life. However, recent literature suggests that urachal anomalies that do not extend to the bladder can be treated with conservative management.
