The amniotic band comprises disrupted amnion strands causing entrapment or entanglement of various fetal parts resulting in a spectrum of anomalies from digital band constriction or amputation to severe craniofacial/visceral defects and even fetal demise. We present a newborn infant with a rare, isolated ring constriction of the penis.

The neonate respiratory microbiome.

Acta Physiol (Oxf)

February 2025

Department of Pediatric Pneumology, Allergology and Neonatology, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany.

Over the past two decades, it has become clear that against earlier assumptions, the respiratory tract is regularly populated by a variety of microbiota even down to the lowest parts of the lungs. New methods and technologies revealed distinct microbiome compositions and developmental trajectories in the differing parts of the respiratory tract of neonates and infants. In this review, we describe the current understanding of respiratory microbiota development in human neonates and highlight multiple factors that have been identified to impact human respiratory microbiome development including gestational age, mode of delivery, diet, antibiotic treatment, and early infections.

This study aimed to identify risk factors for noninvasive ventilation (NIV) failure in <30 weeks' gestation preterm neonates and compare morbidity in patients with and without NIV failure. This study included preterm neonates <30 weeks' gestation who received NIV support for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Demographic and clinical characteristics were compared between infants with and without NIV failure within the first 72 hours after birth.

Factors associated with early onset hypocalcemia: A retrospective cohort study.

Pediatr Int

January 2025

Department of Pediatrics, Seoul National University Children's Hospital, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Background: Early onset hypocalcemia, occurring within 3 days of birth, is prevalent among preterm infants. A central line is required to deliver calcium (Ca). The prediction of hypocalcemia is therefore clinically important when the requirement for initial intravascular calcium administration is anticipated.

Unlabelled: Since the inception of transplantation, it has been crucial to ensure that organ or tissue donations are made with valid informed consent to avoid concerns about coercion or exploitation. This issue is particularly challenging when it comes to infants and younger children, insofar as they are unable to provide consent. Despite their vulnerability, infants' organs and tissues are considered valuable for biomedical purposes due to their size and unique properties.

Global burden and trends of norovirus-associated diseases from 1990 to 2021 an observational trend study.

Front Public Health

January 2025

Sanitation Teaching and Research Section, Department of Health Service, Naval Medical University, Shanghai, China.

Background: Norovirus remains a significant viral cause of waterborne and foodborne gastroenteritis outbreaks and epidemics worldwide. The burden of norovirus extends across different income settings.

Methods: Leveraging secondary data from the 2021 Global Burden of Diseases Study, our analysis spanned the period from 1990 to 2021 to assess the burden of norovirus-associated diseases (NADs).
