Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a frequent and severe complication among newborns in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). It is associated with elevated morbidity and mortality rates, more extended hospital stays and increased health care costs. Implementing preventive care bundles and structured sets of evidence-based practices reduces VAP incidence.

Background: Injuries are a major cause of morbidity and mortality among paediatric populations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) is a commonly used tool to assess functional recovery. This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the PSFS for monitoring paediatric injury patients at a zonal referral hospital in Northern Tanzania.

Objective: Compare, at the same gestational age at birth, survival without severe neonatal morbidity among live-born infants after previable premature rupture of membranes (PROM) occurring before 22 weeks of gestation (WG) versus at or after 22 weeks.
Methods: Retrospective study conducted in a tertiary care referral center between 2016 and 2021, including live births between 23 and 36 weeks + 6 days after PROM. Only live-born infants with neonatal resuscitation care were included.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with platelet reactivity playing a central role in its pathogenesis. Recent research has identified microRNAs (miRNAs; miRs) as potential biomarkers for CAD, due to their ability to regulate platelet function and reactivity. This review focuses on four key miRNAs-miR-223, miR-126, miR-21, and miR-150-known to influence platelet reactivity and their implications in CAD.
