AI Article Synopsis
- Neonatal sepsis significantly impacts the health and survival of newborns, posing challenges in accurate diagnosis and understanding the disease's causes.
- Conventional diagnostic autopsy (CDA) offers valuable insights into the structural changes in organs due to neonatal sepsis, yet there is limited research on these specific histomorphological features.
- This review seeks to compile existing literature on autopsy findings related to neonatal sepsis to enhance understanding of the disease's effects on different organs and assist pathologists in determining causes of death.
Article Abstract
Neonatal sepsis is an important concern in the field of neonatology, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality among newborns worldwide. Despite progress in medical care, the accurate diagnosis and comprehension of the pathological underpinnings of neonatal sepsis continue to present challenges. Conventional diagnostic autopsy (CDA) provides unique opportunities to gain insights into the histomorphological alterations associated with neonatal sepsis. There is a paucity of literature regarding autopsy-related histomorphological features in neonatal sepsis in various organs. This narrative review aims to glean data from published literature concerning autopsy-related histomorphological findings in neonatal sepsis, which would aid in understanding organ-related pathological changes and assisting pathologists in determining the exact cause of death.

[High flow nasal cannula: is it a risk factor of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and retinopathy of premature?].

Servicio de Neonatologia, Complejo Asistencial Dr. Sótero del Río, Santiago, Chile.
Article Synopsis
- Observational studies show that using high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) from 2013-2016 is linked to longer oxygen therapy duration, increased rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
- The study aimed to analyze neonatal outcomes for very preterm newborns with HFNC between 2017-2021, using statistical methods to compare cases with controls based on weight and gestational age.
- Results indicated a significant rise in BPD and ROP in the HFNC group, alongside higher respiratory support, with logistic regression confirming HFNC use is associated with greater risks for both conditions, suggesting the need for a quality improvement program to enhance HFNC
Foals born alive from mares with ultrasonographically assessed placental abnormalities: Neonatal health and development up to weaning compared to foals from healthy mares.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the neonatal health and development of foals born from mares with ultrasonographically assessed placental abnormalities (UPA) to those born from healthy mares in the same warmblood stud.
- Foals from UPA mares displayed shorter gestation lengths and lower birth weights, along with poorer colostrum quality, affecting their immunoglobulin G levels and leading to more frequent administration of foreign plasma compared to foals from healthy mares.
- Additionally, 8.1% of foals from UPA pregnancies exhibited maladjustment syndrome, whereas none in the control group did, indicating potential health risks associated with placental disease.
Introduction: Preterm birth (PTB) is associated with newborn morbidity and mortality. DNA methylation plays an important role in the development of fetus, thus can also serve as an epigenetic biomarker. Limited epigenetic studies were conducted in regard to PTB.
