Prenatal and Neonatal Pulmonary Thrombosis as a Potential Complication of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Late Pregnancy.

Neonatal venous thrombosis is a rare condition that can be iatrogenic or occur due to viral infections or genetic mutations. Thromboembolic complications are also commonly observed as a result of SARS-CoV-2 infections. They can affect pediatric patients, especially the ones suffering from multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in neonates (MIS-N).

Spontaneous Resolution of Congenital Dural Venous Sinus Ectasia Associated With Polymicrogyria-Case Report.

Dural venous sinus ectasia belongs to a rare group of venous sinus malformations of unknown origin and uncertain prognosis. We report the first patient with idiopathic congenital ectasia of the confluence of sinuses with thrombosis associated with bilateral polymicrogyria. It may highlight the causative relation between ischemia within the central nervous system due to torcular herophili ectasia with thrombosis in early pregnancy and the development of cortical malformations in neonates.

Perceptual Awareness of Optic Flows Paced Optimally and Non-optimally to Walking Speed.

Previous research suggests that visual processing depends strongly on locomotor activity and is tuned to optic flows consistent with self-motion speed. Here, we used a binocular rivalry paradigm to investigate whether perceptual access to optic flows depends on their optimality in relation to walking velocity. Participants walked at two different speeds on a treadmill while viewing discrepant visualizations of a virtual tunnel in each eye.

Cerebral tissue oxygenation during cranial osteopathic CV4 procedure in newborns.

Background: The cranial osteopathic manipulative medicine has been shown to alter regional cerebral tissue oxygenation (cStO2) in adult patients; however, there are no reports regarding the neonatal population.

Objectives: To assess the influence of compression of the 4th ventricle (CV4) osteopathic procedure on cStO2 in neonates.

Material And Methods: Thirty-one patients born between 25 and 39 weeks of gestation were screened for inclusion in the neonatal unit.

Genotype-phenotype correlation in two Polish neonates with alveolar capillary dysplasia.

Background: Alveolar capillary dysplasia (ACD) is a rare cause of severe pulmonary hypertension and respiratory failure in neonates. The onset of ACD is usually preceded by a short asymptomatic period. The condition is refractory to all available therapies as it irreversibly affects development of the capillary bed in the lungs.
