Umbilical venous catheter insertion is a common procedure in the neonatal units performed for rapid vascular access. Though relatively safe and easy to perform, suboptimal position of the catheter tip is frequently encountered and can lead to wide range of complications from venous thrombosis, catheter extravasation with extravasation of infusate to intraperitoneal or intrapericardial space, liver injury and cardiac arrhythmias. Identification of catheter extravasation may be difficult and often confused with catheter related infection or necrotising enterocolitis. We present a series of three cases of intraperitoneal extravasation of umbilical venous catheter in the premature neonate with widely varying presentation from subtle biochemical changes to critical clinical signs with rapid and progressive deterioration.

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pathology, 56000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Introduction: ICAM-1 is an adhesion molecule expressed on the endothelial cells and is involved in regulating leukocyte recruitment to the site of inflammation. Elevated ICAM-1 mRNA expression was found in the serum of mothers with chorioamnionitis. This study aimed to determine the expression of ICAM-1 in the placenta and umbilical cord of pregnancy with chorioamnionitis, and its association with adverse neonatal outcome.

Background: Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy characterized by systemic endothelial dysfunction. The pathophysiology of preeclampsia remains incompletely understood. This study used human venous endothelial cell (EC) transcriptional profiling to investigate potential novel mechanisms underlying EC dysfunction in preeclampsia.

Importance: Umbilical venous catheterization (UVC) is a common procedure for critically ill newborn infants. The insertion depth was estimated before the procedure using various formulae.
Objective: To compare the accuracy of five published formulae based on birth weight (BW).
[Relationship between birth weight and mineral levels in umbilical artery and vein serum].

National Institute for Nutrition and Health, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Beijing 100050, China.
Objective: To compare the mineral levels in umbilical vein and artery serum and to analyze the relationship between newborn birth weight and the mineral levels in umbilical vein and artery serum by measuring the mineral levels in umbilical vein and artery serum.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to recruit 101 pairs of maternal and newborn who were hospitalized in Danyang People's Hospital, Jiangsu Province from June to September 2021 as the participants. After delivery, umbilical vein and artery blood were collected, and the levels of manganese(Mn), iron(Fe), cobalt(Co), copper(Cu), zinc(Zn), selenium(Se), magnesium(Mg) and calcium(Ca) in umbilical vein and artery serum were detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrum(ICP-MS).

From the Department of Anaesthesiology, Pain Medicine, and Critical Care, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, India.
Background: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to compare phenylephrine boluses versus prophylactic infusion in parturients undergoing cesarean delivery under spinal or combined spinal-epidural anesthesia on feto-maternal outcomes.
Methods: Medline, Embase, Cochrane, and US Clinical registry databases were searched. Studies comparing phenylephrine boluses (both therapeutic and prophylactic) with infusion (both fixed- and variable-rate) assessing various feto-maternal outcomes were included.
