Purpose: Umbilical cord hernia is poorly understood and often miscategorized as "omphalocele minor". Careless clamping of the cord leads to iatrogenic gut injury in the situation of umbilical cord hernia. This study aimed to determine the characteristics and outcomes of umbilical cord hernias. We also highlight an alternative repair method for umbilical cord hernias.
Methods: We recorded 15 cases of umbilical cord hernias over 10 years. The patients' data were retrospectively reviewed, and preoperative preparation of the newborn, gestational age, birth weight, other associated malformations, surgical technique used, enteral nutrition, and length of hospitalization were recorded.
Results: This study included 15 neonates with umbilical cord hernias. The mean gestational age at the time of referral was 38.2 ± 2.1
Conclusions: In an umbilical cord hernia, the body folds develop normally and form the umbilical ring. The double purse-string technique is easy to apply and produces satisfactory cosmetic results in neonates with umbilical cord hernias.

Background: ALG8-congenital disorder of glycosylation (ALG8-CDG) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder leading to severe multisystem manifestations, with no reported prenatal patients to date.
Methods: We describe two fetuses from a single family with ALG8-CDG presenting with prenatal hydrops, undergoing comprehensive prenatal ultrasound, umbilical cord blood biochemistry, autopsy, placental pathology, and genetic testing.
Results: Prenatal ultrasound revealed fetal hydrops, skeletal anomalies, cardiac developmental abnormalities, cataracts, echogenic kidneys and bowel, oligohydramnios, choroid plexus cysts, and intrauterine growth restriction.

Objective: To assess whether high- versus low-dose oxytocin regimens for labor augmentation are associated with differential risk for low Apgar score, neonatal acidosis, and other adverse labor outcomes.
Data Sources: We searched electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov) from inception up to March 2024 using combinations of the following keywords: "oxytocin," "oxytocin regimen," "oxytocin protocol," "oxytocin dosage," "active management," "high dose protocol," "low dose protocol," "augmentation of labor.
Evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of fetal scalp blood sampling: A retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: Fetal scalp blood sampling (FSBS) can be used as an adjunctive test, in the presence of a pathological intrapartum fetal heart rate trace, to provide evidence of fetal acidaemia. The role of FSBS remains controversial, this study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of FSBS at determining various adverse neonatal outcomes.
Method: A retrospective cohort analysis of FSBS undertaken < 1 h from birth in a single UK centre in 2016 and 2017.
The role of the microbiota and metabolites in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis with UC-MSCs: Integrating fecal metabolomics and 16S rDNA analysis.

Introduction: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic and irreversible interstitial lung disease characterized by a lack of effective therapies. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have garnered significant interest in the realm of lung regeneration due to their abundant availability, ease of isolation, and capacity for expansion. The objective of our study was to investigate the potential therapeutic role of umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) in the management of PF, with a focus on the alterations in the gut microbiota and its metabolites during the use of UC-MSCs for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, as well as the possible mechanisms involved.

The low levels of GFAP, Nf-L, and Tau in serum and plasma require highly sensitive assays to detect them. Here, we report the analytical validation of an ultrasensitive, electrochemiluminescence-based, multiplexed immunoassay for neurological biomarker assessment.
