From data obtained by means of a questionnaire from Prague neonatologists from seven maternity hospitals and four intensiv care units in Prague in 1980-1984 a detailed analysis was made of the specific morbidity and mortality of neonates during the first seven days after birth in a large neonatal population, incl. causes of morbidity and mortality. The analysis was focused on the morbidity of those nosological non-inflammatory and inflammatory units which threaten the life of neonates, which cause morbidity and where mortality is the extreme pole. Data and causes were compared with analogous data from countries with the highest standard of neonatal care--Sweden and Finland. The authors outline the procedure used for analysis of the necessary data in order to differentiate inevitable and evitable risks which damage the foetus and neonate and they analyzed the causes of different data from obstetric practice focused on prevention of hypoxia, immaturity, lethal congenital defects and factors from differentiated neonatalogical care.

Background: Obesity is an increasing public health problem because of its high prevalence and associated morbidity and mortality. Two weight-loss strategies are currently used, either bariatric surgery or pharmacological therapy with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs). Preclinical studies in rodents suggested an increased risk of additive disorders after bariatric surgery contrasting with a reduced risk with GLP-1RAs.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is rare in children. A germline mutation is identified in half of all children with primary hyperparathyroidism (70% of newborns and infants, and 40% of children and adolescents). The clinical manifestations of primary hyperparathyroidism in children are highly variable (often absent in newborns, rather severe and symptomatic in children and adolescents) and depend on the genetic cause, as well as the severity, rapidity of onset and duration of hypercalcemia.

Background & Aims: Infectious complications determine the prognosis of cirrhosis patients. Their infection susceptibility relates to the development of immuneparesis, a complex interplay of different immunosuppressive cells and soluble factors. Mechanisms underlying the dynamics of immuneparesis of innate immunity remain inconclusive.

Objective: Gliomas pose a significant global health challenge due to high rates of morbidity and mortality. Recent research has indicated that circular RNAs (circRNAs) may play a crucial role in gliomas. However, the specific impacts of circRNAs on gliomas development is poorly understood.
