Published: March 2006

This case report describes a preterm baby with juvenile extracutaneous xanthogranuloma that rapidly expanded. The tumor was excised because of rapid enlargement and extension into the thoracic inlet. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a preterm baby with extracutaneous juvenile xanthogranuloma. The case illustrates the need for careful surveillance of this lesion because it cannot always be managed conservatively.

Background: Preterm infants (PIs) are more susceptible to neurodevelopmental impairment compared with term newborns. Adequate postnatal growth has been associated with improved neurocognitive outcomes; therefore, optimization of nutrition may positively impact the neurodevelopment of PIs.

Objective: This study focused on macronutrient parenteral nutrition (PN) intake during the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit stay and their associations with neurodevelopmental outcomes in PIs in the first two years of life.

Department of Clinical and Community Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Surabaya, Surabaya 60293, Indonesia.

Intra-amniotic infection (IAI), also known as chorioamnionitis, is a major cause of maternal and neonatal infection that occurs during pregnancy, labor and delivery, or in the postpartum period. Conditions such as meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) and premature rupture of membranes (PROMs) are recognized risk factors for amniotic fluid infection. This study identifies the microbial patterns in the amniotic fluid of women with PROMs and MSAF to determine the presence and types of bacterial growth.
