Occlusion of groups of vessels in the mesenteric vascular arcades of distal ileum for 48 h induced necrotizing enterocolitis lesions in low birth weight, spontaneously delivered, neonatal piglets. Lesion severity increased with numbers of adjacent groups of vessels occluded and with proximity to the ileocecal junction. A previously undescribed feature, "prepneumatosis," was confined to the lymphatic vessels of the submucosa and serosa. This feature closely resembled the position, shape, and distribution of classical pneumatosis intestinalis. Occlusion of vessels for 30 min followed by reperfusion did not induce any detectable changes 48 h later. Identical procedures (48-h occlusions) did not induce any detectable changes in 35-kg pigs.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating disease of the neonatal gastrointestinal tract. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odoriferous compounds released as a byproduct of bacterial metabolism, can be used as a proxy for gut health. We hypothesized that patients with NEC would have different microbial profiles and elicit different VOC signatures as assessed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or an electronic nose compared to controls.

Background And Objectives: Low-birth weight, premature infants often have severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), which can result in posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH), sometimes requiring cerebrospinal fluid diversion. Initial temporizing management of PHH includes placement of a ventriculosubgaleal shunt (VSGS) or ventricular access device (VAD). Studies have found similar permanent shunt conversion rates between VSGS and VAD but were limited by sample scope and size.

Background: Studies on how birth body mass index (BMI) affects health outcomes in preterm infants are relatively limited.
Aim: To analyze the association between BMI at birth and neonatal health outcomes in extremely low and very low birth weight preterm infants in China.
Methods: Used data from the Chinese Premature Infant Informatization Platform (2022-2023).
Ileo-ileal intussusception and necrotising enterocolitis after indomethacin exposure masquerading clinically as solitary intestinal perforation.
BMJ Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Paediatric Surgery, KK Women's and Children's Hospital, Singapore.
We report a case of small bowel perforation from ileo-ileal intussusception with necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) after indomethacin exposure mimicking spontaneous intestinal perforation in an extremely preterm neonate. Indomethacin exposure can cause mesenteric hypoperfusion, resulting in an ischaemic lead point for intussusception and NEC. We advocate that intussusception should be considered as one of the differentials for neonates with recurrent feeding intolerance postindomethacin exposure.
