Background: The neonatal mortality rate in Papua Province of Indonesia is unacceptably high. To address the issue, the Ministry of Health and UNICEF Indonesia initiated a hospital mentoring programme from 2014 to 2016 to improve the quality of care and health workers' capacity to provide neonatal care. This study aimed to assess the impact of hospital mentoring on neonatal mortality.

Objective: To assess the utility of a bespoke smartphone app to map noise and vibration exposure across neonatal road ambulance journeys.

Design And Setting: Prospective observational study of ambulance journeys across a large UK neonatal transport service. Smartphones, with an in-house developed app, were secured to incubator trolleys to collect vibration and noise data for comparison with international standards.

Background: Billions of dollars have been spent implementing regulations to reduce traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) from exhaust pipe emissions. However, few health studies have evaluated the change in TRAP emissions and associations with infant health outcomes. We hypothesize that the magnitude of association between vehicle exposure measures and adverse birth outcomes has decreased over time, parallelling regulatory improvements in exhaust pipe emissions.

Article Synopsis
  • Variants associated with neurodevelopmental impairments in children are complex and challenging to evaluate due to their diverse nature and unclear causes.
  • The study highlights a case of a child with neonatal-onset epilepsy and a specific genetic variant (G256W) that impacts ion channel function and leads to reduced cell stability and conduction in nervous tissue.
  • The research also establishes a mouse model that exhibits epilepsy and hyperexcitability in brain cells, linking the genetic variant to observable neurological behaviors and suggesting potential wider implications for understanding similar conditions in other patients.

Article Synopsis
  • HSV-1 infection can lead to lung injury, and a study found that lower levels of FcRn (a protein) are linked to more severe lung damage caused by the virus.
  • The study revealed that HSV-1 increases the methylation of the FcRn gene, which reduces its expression by promoting DNMT3b, a protein that inhibits transcription through a specific region of the FcRn promoter.
  • Inhibiting ferroptosis (a type of cell death) with a drug helped reduce lung injury in cases affected by HSV-1, indicating that targeting FcRn might be a promising therapeutic approach.
