World Health Organisation guidelines recommend nevirapine 2 mg/kg/d for HIV-exposed infants <2 kg, but 4-6 mg/kg/d for infants >2 kg. In 116 low birth weight infants, nevirapine 2 mg/kg/d until 14 days, and 4 mg/kg/d thereafter, was safe (1 mild possibly related rash) and achieved target plasma concentrations. Concentrations decreased with treatment duration. Routine dose increase at 14 days should be considered.

Transition to competent oral feeding in preterm infants: Analyzing timing and determinants.
An Pediatr (Engl Ed)
January 2025
Departamento de Enfermería, Unidad de Neonatología, Hospital Universitario de Burgos, Burgos, Spain.
Introduction: The achievement of oral feeding competence (OFC) is a challenge in preterm infants and can be affected by several factors.
Objective: The aim of our study was to determine the time elapsed to development of OFC in very low birth weight (VLBW, weight <1500g) preterm infants and to identify factors associated with greater difficulty in achieving this skill.
Population And Methods: Observational, longitudinal and prospective study in VLBW infants over a period of 7 years (2016-2022).

Background: Stroke patients with large vessel occlusions risk long-term or permanent sickness absence. We aimed to analyze the proportions and days of sickness absence and disability pension in thrombectomy-treated patients.
Methods: A register-based nationwide longitudinal cohort study of stroke patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy in 2016-2021 in Sweden (identified through the Swedish Board of Health and Welfare procedural code for care interventions, KVÅ:AAL15).
Childhood residential and neighbourhood mobility: Consequences for educational attainment in young adulthood.
Adv Life Course Res
January 2025
Department of Human Geography, Stockholm University, Sweden.
Research on the consequences of residential mobility for educational outcomes is inconclusive about when and for whom moving is detrimental or beneficial. Whether moving during childhood impacts educational attainment depends on how often, how far and at which age one moves; and on whether the neighbourhood conditions improve or decline with the move. This study aims to better understand under which circumstances moving during childhood impacts educational attainment by studying residential mobility and neighbourhood trajectories of children born in different types of neighbourhoods and how this is associated with completion of tertiary education.

Background: Malaria is a disease deeply rooted in poverty. Malaria in pregnant women leads to severe complications, including low birth weight and neonatal mortality, which can adversely affect both mother and child. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with malaria in pregnancy among women attending antenatal care (ANC) clinics in three districts of the Ashanti Region, Ghana.

BMC Pregnancy Childbirth
January 2025
Nursing Department, Shenzhen Children's Hospital, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, 518026, China.
Article Synopsis
- Preterm birth significantly impacts parents' mental health, and posttraumatic growth (PTG) can help them cope with this trauma, though research on PTG in this context is limited.
- A study involving 160 parents in Shenzhen, China, found that most had low to medium PTG levels, with influences like older gestational age, higher Apgar scores, positive coping styles, and better social support correlating with higher PTG.
- The findings highlight the importance of social support and effective coping mechanisms in fostering PTG among parents dealing with the challenges of having a preterm infant.
