Introduction: Pertussis poses a significant threat to infants under six months due to their immature immune systems, limited maternal antibody protection, and constraints in the vaccination schedule. Despite vaccination efforts, this group remains highly susceptible to severe complications. Addressing these challenges is crucial for improving the health outcomes of infants in China.

Pediatric organ transplant recipients have a higher risk for wait list mortality due to the scarcity of size matched organs. Neonatal organ donation could potentially ameliorate the discrepancy but is currently not implemented in Sweden. This study aims to evaluate the potential of neonatal organ donation in central Sweden using a standardized protocol with organ specific criteria.

This research investigates the impact of exogenous and endogenous factors on fetal health in pregnant women under the age of 18, with a special focus on the influence of educational level, adherence to vices (smoking and alcohol), comorbidities (diabetes and hypertension), and poor sanitary conditions. The study uses retrospective data collected from a medical institution in the Southeast region of Romania, including a sample of 3639 births during the post-pandemic period (2022-2023). This period was considered to be a reference period for the study because, as a result of measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 disease in the pandemic, there was an increase in the birth rate among patients under 18 years of age.

Background: Newborn screening (NBS) programs have significantly improved the health and outcomes of patients with inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs). Methods based on liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis are viewed worldwide as the gold standard procedure for the expanded NBS programs for these disorders. Advanced molecular technologies point to genomic sequencing as an alternative and feasible strategy for the screening of genetic diseases, including IMDs.
