A term neonate (TN) of 2 days, delivered by lower segment caesarean section in a private nursing home of a rural area, was referred to the outpatient department of paediatric surgery with a chief concern of large abdominal swelling and mild respiratory distress. The TN was diagnosed with giant omphalocele and a right diaphragmatic hernia.Intraoperatively, the omphalocele sac was found to contain liver, stomach, spleen and small intestine, with the latter herniating through a right diaphragmatic defect.

Probiotics and Fever Duration in Children With Upper Respiratory Tract Infections: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

JAMA Netw Open

March 2025

Pediatric Unit, Foundation Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico (IRCCS) Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, Milan, Italy.

Importance: Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) are prevalent in children, prompting frequent health care consultations, especially among those with fever. Probiotics show potential as an adjuvant treatment for URTIs, but evidence in children is limited.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a probiotic mixture containing Bifidobacterium breve M-16V, Bifidobacterium lactis HN019, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 in shortening fever duration among children with URTIs.

Objective: To provide an updated review of the clinical profile and outcomes of delivery room chest compression (DR-CC) in China.

Method: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from 23 neonatal intensive care units in Jiangsu, China (2019-2021). Antepartum, delivery room, and postpartum variables in DR-CC-receiving and no-DR-CC groups were compared using uni- and multivariate analyses.

Objective: Caffeine is a proven medication used for the prevention and treatment of apnea in premature infants, offering both short- and long-term benefits. International guidelines provide a range of recommendations regarding the preterm population eligible for caffeine prophylaxis, including the timing, dosage, and duration of treatment. Our national guidelines, published prior to the most recent updates of the international guidelines, recommend the use of caffeine citrate starting from the first day after delivery for preterm infants with a gestational age of <28 weeks.

Moderate and acute intermittent hypoxia (IH) facilitates respiration in adults, mostly by recruiting peripheral chemo-/baroreceptors. As central chemoreceptors are widely expressed in immature brains, we hypothesized that IH modulates respiration at birth through a purely neurogenic mechanism involving the hypothalamus. The central nervous system (CNS) isolated from 0- to 3-day-old rats was perfused with four to eight brief (5 min) bouts of mild-hypoxic/normocapnic modified Krebs solution, intermingled with 5-min normoxic episodes, during continuous electrophysiological recordings from upper cervical ventral roots.
