The developing human foetal brain is sensitive to thermal stimulation during pregnancy. However, the mechanisms by which heat exposure affects human foetal brain development remain unclear, largely due to the lack of appropriate research models for studying thermal stimulation. To address this, we have developed a periodic heating model based on brain organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells.

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a potentially fatal disorder triggered by volatile anesthetics or succinylcholine, inducing a hypermetabolic crisis in susceptible patients. The caffeine-halothane contracture test (CHCT) remains a gold standard for MH detection. The authors describe a pregnant patient with a history of exertional rhabdomyolysis, who required urgent MH screening for administration of MH-triggering anesthetics.

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a risk factor for obesity in adult life. Importantly, growth-restricted females are more prone to obesity than males. The mechanisms involved in this sexually dimorphic programming are not known.

Background: Several interventions provided to newborns at birth or within 24 h after birth have been proven critical in improving neonatal survival and other birth outcomes. We aimed to provide an update on the effectiveness and safety of these interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
Summary: Following a comprehensive scoping of the literature, we updated or re-analyzed the LMIC-specific evidence for included topics.
