The gravidic toxicity of the nicotinism on the fetus is now established. Certain long-term effects related to some substances, including certain unquestionable carcinogens, still remain to be evaluated. The risk of preterm birth is increased and the incidence of the intra-uterine growth retardation is high. Behavioral and physiological disorders, in particular metabolic, cardiac and respiratory disorders are observed from the first day of life. The risk of oro-facial malformations is not excluded. At mid-term the number of ORL and respiratory complications is higher and the risk of sudden infant death is almost doubled. The neonatale period should be used to assess the state of the newborn and to renew recommendations and advice for prevention. Breast feeding should and encouraged. This assessment also gives the mother an additional opportunity to reduce, to even cease smoking. A specialized consultation can be proposed if needed.

Aim: Uncontrolled chronic inflammatory diseases (CIDs) before, during, and after pregnancy, as well as some CID medications, can increase the risk of impaired fertility in addition to adverse maternal/pregnancy outcomes in women of childbearing age. We report pregnancy outcomes from prospectively reported pregnancies in Japanese women treated with certolizumab pegol (CZP).

Methods: Data from July 2001 to November 2020 on CZP-exposed pregnancies from the CZP Pharmacovigilance safety database were reviewed.

Peripheral blood biomarkers as differential diagnostic markers of disease severity in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia.

Heliyon

January 2025

Department of Hematology and Immunohematology, School of Biomedical and Laboratory Sciences, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia.

Background: Blood biomarkers offers an independent insight for the pathophysiology of hyperbilirubinemia. However, they are not practically used for the differential diagnosis of the hyperbilirubinemia severity. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess the differential diagnostic value of peripheral blood biomarkers with disease severity as an alternative.

Trichohepatoenteric syndrome (THES) is a rare genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. THES primarily leads to neonatal enteropathy, typically manifesting as severe, persistent diarrhea, distinctive facial features such as frontal bossing and a broad flat nasal bridge, woolly and fragile hair, immunodeficiency resulting in recurrent infections, failure to thrive (FTT), and liver complications including fibrosis or cirrhosis. This multisystem disorder is linked to mutations in the tetratricopeptide repeat domain 37 (TTC37) gene, also known as superkiller complex (SKIC) protein 3, responsible for THES type 1, and the Ski2-like ribonucleic acid (RNA) helicase (SKIV2L) gene, also known as SKIC2, responsible for THES type 2.
