Introduction: The comparative efficacy of pulmonary surfactant in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome in preterm infants remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different pulmonary surfactant in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome in preterm infants and to provide an evidence-based reference for clinical use.
Material And Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and Clinical Trials databases were electronically searched from inception to January 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature and extracted data, and then R and RevMan 5.3 software packages were used to perform network meta-analysis.
Results: The relative risk of respiratory distress syndrome in preterm infants associated with six different pulmonary surfactant was analysed, including beractant (Survanta), surfactant A (Alveofact), calfactant (Infasurf), poractant (Curosurf), lucinactant (Surfaxin), and colfosceril (Exosurf). Patients with the following drugs appeared to have significantly reduced mortality of respiratory distress syndrome compare with beractant: surfactant A (OR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.31-0.90), calfactant (OR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.85-0.97), poractant (OR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.67-0.77), lucinactant (OR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.71-0.90), and colfosceril (OR = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.87-0.99). The SUCRA (surface under the cumulative ranking) values for each of the drugs were: beractant (8.9%), surfactant A (93.8%), calfactant (40.3%), poractant (65.4%), lucinactant (59.8%), and colfosceril (31.6%).
Conclusions: Compared with beractant, other pulmonary surfactants are more effective to reduce the mortality of respiratory distress syndrome in preterm infants. Surfactant A drugs appeared to have the best efficacy in reducing mortality of respiratory distress syndrome in preterm infants.

Introduction: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in infants and can lead to severe respiratory distress, especially in very young infants. No specific treatments exist for RSV. However, new preventative strategies have become available including RSV vaccine for pregnant women and monoclonal antibody for infants.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is present in >10% of all people admitted to critical care and is associated with severe morbidity and mortality. Despite more than half a century since its first description, no efficacious pharmacological therapies have been developed, and little progress has been made in improving clinical outcomes. Neutrophils are the principal drivers of ARDS, with their priming and subsequent aberrant downstream functions, including interleukin (IL) 1β and IL-18 secretion, central to the disease pathogenesis.

Unlabelled: It is known that in most cases of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS), apnoeas and hypoventilation occur at birth. Nevertheless, a detailed description of initial symptoms, including pregnancy events and diagnostic tests performed, is warranted in infants with neonatal onset of CCHS, that is, in the first month of life. The European Central Hypoventilation Syndrome Consortium created an online patient registry from which 97 infants (44 females) with CCHS of neonatal onset and PHOX2B mutation from 10 countries were selected.

Background: Patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been reported to show hypoxia without displaying typical clinical signs or symptoms, called "happy hypoxia." To explore the potential of happy hypoxia as a distinctive symptom of COVID-19, we compared vital signs in the triage phase between patients with and without COVID-19.
Methods: We retrospectively identified emergency patients with and without COVID-19 admitted to Rakuwakai Marutamachi Hospital, Kyoto, Japan, between January 2021 and December 2021.

Harlequin ichthyosis is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder resulting from mutations in the gene. It is marked by distinctive skin abnormalities, including armor-like thickened scales separated by deep fissures. This condition is infrequently reported in the African population.
