Objective: Delivery room (DR) continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is increasing. Our study examined the risk for neonatal morbidities after DR CPAP in 35 week neonates.
Study Design: A retrospective study of 259 infants born at 35 weeks gestational age between January 1, 2017-December 31, 2018 at a single center.
Results: DR resuscitation was administered in 30.5%, with 19.7% receiving CPAP alone. Eighty percent who received DR CPAP were admitted to the NICU. DR CPAP was associated with the highest NICU admission risk, 9.3 times the risk of those without DR positive pressure, and with respiratory conditions (RDS: OR 4.22 {CI 1.46-11.51}, TTN: OR 3.30 {CI 1.36-7.64}). For the DR CPAP group, non-invasive positive pressure was administered post resuscitation in 90%.
Conclusions: In our institution, 35 week infants frequently received DR CPAP. Of these infants, a majority were admitted to the NICU for respiratory disorders.

Background: Minimizing the duration of mechanical ventilation is one of the most important therapeutic goals during the care of preterm infants at neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The rate of extubation failure among preterm infants is between 16% and 40% worldwide. Numerous studies have been conducted on the assessment of extubation suitability, the optimal choice of respiratory support around extubation, and the effectiveness of medical interventions.

We report the case of an 18-month-old boy who developed a phototoxic skin reaction to terbinafine on his scalp, ears, and face in the form of disseminated erythematous plaques, which resembled subacute lupus erythematosus (SCLE) in their clinical presentation. Skin changes appeared a short time after the boy was exposed to sunlight during the period of time when he was treated with oral terbinafine due to Microsporum canis fungal scalp infection. Tinea capitis is a common dermatophyte infection primarily affecting prepubertal children (1).

Clinical research on the long-term consequences of gestational opioid exposure reports increased rates of social, conduct, and emotional disorders in these children. Here, we investigate the impact of perinatal opioid exposure (POE) on behaviors associated with anhedonia and stress in male and female Sprague Dawley rats.

Delayed subaponeurotic fluid collection (DSFC) is an uncommon condition that causes scalp swelling in infants, usually appearing within the first weeks to months of life. Although the precise etiology is unclear, DSFC is frequently associated with instrumental or traumatic deliveries. We report two cases of DSFC: a 12-week-old boy and a six-week-old girl, both presenting with progressive, fluctuant scalp swelling without any history of trauma.
