Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effects of early cord clamping (ECC), delayed cord clamping (DCC), and umbilical cord milking (MC) on maternal and neonatal outcomes in elective cesarean births.
Methods: We analyzed 204 women with uncomplicated at-term singleton pregnancies, who underwent cesarean birth under regional anesthesia between March and July 2021. The women were randomized into three groups: DCC (clamped 60 s postpartum), ECC (clamped within 15 s postpartum), or MC (clamped after milking five times) group. The neonatal and maternal outcomes of the groups were evaluated.
Results: The duration of the operation was significantly lower (P < 0.001) in the MC group at 50 min (ECC, 60 min; DCC, 60 min), while intraoperative bleeding was significantly higher (P < 0.001) in the ECC group at 500 mL (DCC, 300 mL; MC, 225 mL). The rates of anemia and polycythemia significantly differed (P = 0.049) between the three groups. DCC and MC did not negatively affect maternal and neonatal outcomes compared with ECC.
Conclusion: DCC and MC are superior to ECC in terms of short-term maternal and neonatal outcomes in cases of elective cesarean birth under regional anesthesia.

Post-acute sequela of COVID-19 infection in individuals with multiple sclerosis.

Background: Many common symptoms in post-acute sequelae following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (PASC) overlap with those of multiple sclerosis (MS). We examined symptoms and performance of the PASC score, developed in the general population, in MS based on infection history.
Methods: We surveyed North American Research Committee on Multiple Sclerosis (NARCOMS) registry participants regarding infections and categorized participants based on infection history.
Quantitative pupillometry as a potential biomarker in early concussion assessment.

Background: There are limited objective methods when it comes to identifying and diagnosing concussion. Pupil assessment is performed routinely as a standard-of-care following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Unlike the highly subjective and limited reliability of pupil assessment using penlights and flashlights, Quantitative pupillometry (QP) is an established, valid, and reliable method of pupillary assessment.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of cut-umbilical cord milking (C-UCM) during stabilization of preterm infants after birth.
Study Design: This was a pilot randomized controlled trial of initial resuscitation. Infants born to eligible, consenting women presenting in preterm labor at <32 weeks' gestation were randomized to receive either the standard practice of delayed cord clamping (DCC) for 30-60 seconds at birth or C-UCM while supporting breathing and following 30 seconds of DCC.

Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands.
Background: Physiological-based cord clamping (PBCC) in preterm infants is beneficial for cardiovascular transition at birth and may optimize placental transfusion. Whether PBCC can improve clinical outcomes is unknown. The aim of the Aeration, Breathing, Clamping (ABC3) trial was to test whether PBCC results in improved intact survival in very preterm infants.

Bone vasculature is richly innervated by an extensive network of sympathetic nerves. However, our understanding of bone blood flow regulation and its contribution to human bone health is limited. Here, we further our previous findings by characterizing bone vascular responses in the absence of sympathetic control - studying individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), a population with known peripheral sympathetic disruption.
