Aim: The objective of this study was to (1) evaluate the oxygen saturation (SpO) levels during intraoral and extraoral impression taking and (2) compare the SpO levels during impression taking before and after presurgical orthopedic therapy (POT) of infants with cleft lip and palate (CLP).
Patients And Methods: In our study, 31 babies with CLP before (mean age 7.6 ± 3.2 days) and after (mean age 108.3 ± 24.2 days) POT were monitored, and SpO levels were measured under operating conditions before any intervention (T1), after oxygenation (T2), during taking intraoral (T3), and extraoral (T4) impressions with oxygen support and immediately before the discharge from the operating room (T5).
Results: In both groups, statistically significant differences in SpO measurements at T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 stages were found (P < .01). For the pre-POT measurements, increases in SpO levels from T1 to T2 and T4 to T5 (P < .05) and decreases from T2 to T3 and T3 to T4 (P < .01) were noted. Similarly, SpO levels decreased significantly from the intraoral (T3) to extraoral (T4) post-POT impression periods (P < .01). Comparisons of pre- and post-POT measurements revealed that the SpO level of each time period was higher at the post-POT impression taking except for stages T2 and T5 (P < .01).
Conclusion: The SpO values were low at the onset of POT in infants with CLP before any intervention. Oxygen saturation levels may decrease particularly during extraoral impression taking in infants with CLP despite the supplemental oxygen. SpO measurements were higher during post-POT intraoral and extraoral impression taking when compared with pre-POT measurements.

Objective: To analyze the results of nocturnal breathing parameters during sleep based on nocturnal pulse oximetry and to study of characteristics of external respiration in genetically confirmed patients with dystrophic myotonia (DM).
Material And Methods: The subjects of the study were patients with genetically confirmed DM types 1 and 2 who were hospitalized in the neurological departments of the Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Neurology and Neurosurgery. The clinical picture of the disease, comorbidities, sleep questionnaires, laboratory tests, overnight pulse oximetry and spirometry were performed and analyzed.
Fetal-to-Neonatal Transition of an Infant with Transposition of the Great Arteries and Intact Ventricular Septum: A Case Report.

Division of Paediatric Cardiology, Department of Paediatrics, Willem-Alexander Children's Hospital, Leiden University Medical Centre (LUMC), Leiden, The Netherlands.
Introduction: Transposition of the great arteries (TGA), especially with intact ventricular septum (TGA-IVS), presents unique challenges during fetal-to-neonatal transition, which can contribute to developing persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN).
Case Presentation: A male newborn with TGA-IVS, delivered via caesarean section, presented with hypoxemia and tachycardia immediately after birth (preductal SpO: 50-60%, post-ductal SpO: 70-75%). Echocardiography revealed a floppy interatrial septum and two interatrial connections with bidirectional shunting.

The regulation of oxygen homeostasis is critical in physiology and disease pathogenesis. High Altitude environment or hypoxia (lack of oxygen) can lead to adverse health conditions such as HAPE despite initial adaptive physiological responses. Studying genetic, hematological and biochemical, and the physiological outcomes of hypoxia together could yield a comprehensive understanding and potentially uncover valuable biomarkers for predicting responses.

Background: The impact of acute mountain sickness (AMS) on individuals ascending to plateaus, soon after exposure to high altitudes, is well-documented. However, the specific relationship between AMS and alterations in blood parameters remains unclear.
Methods: A total of 40 healthy volunteers were recruited.
