1. Ventilation was recorded on ten male and ten female healthy full-term infants during the first week after delivery, using a trunk plethysmograph. Tidal volume (V(T)), respiration rate (f) and pulmonary ventilation (V) for each respiratory cycle were measured during periods of rapid eye movement sleep (REM) and during quiet sleep when eye movements were absent (NREM).2. It was found that mean instantaneous V and f were significantly higher in all infants during REM than during NREM sleep, while mean V(T) was either unchanged or showed a decrease. In addition, there was significantly greater variation in instantaneous V, V(T) and f during REM as compared with NREM sleep.3. Positive correlations were found in most infants in both sleep states between individual values of V(T) and the duration of the respiratory cycle (T).4. Periodic changes in T were found in all infants during both sleep states; these periodicities may reflect the behaviour of respiratory control mechanisms operating over a longer time span than the individual respiratory cycle.

Global metabolomic alterations associated with endocrine-disrupting chemicals among pregnant individuals and newborns.
Metabolomics

Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Informatics, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Background: Gestational exposure to non-persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. While many EDCs affect the endocrine system, their effects on endocrine-related metabolic pathways remain unclear. This study aims to explore the global metabolome changes associated with EDC biomarkers at delivery.

Background/objectives: Determine the appropriate duration for multichannel sleep studies in former preterm infants with cardio-respiratory events beyond term equivalent age.
Hypothesis: A sleep study of 10 h will provide equivalent information compared to a 20-h study to detect significant cardio-respiratory abnormalities in this population.
Methods: Single-center retrospective study of 50 infants with 20-h sleep study.

Sleep disorders in children have a negative impact on mental and physical development, and a lack of sleep is one of the most important problems in infancy. At the age when naps are commonly accepted, the judgment of whether the amount of sleep is adequate has been based on the total amount of sleep per day. In other words, the idea is that even if the amount of sleep at night is insufficient, it is not considered insufficient if it is compensated for by taking a long nap or sleeping late on weekend mornings.

Background: Implementation Science research completed with equity-deserving populations is not well understood or explored. The current opioid epidemic challenges healthcare systems to improve existing practices through implementation of evidence-based interventions. Pregnant persons diagnosed with opioid use disorder (OUD) is an equity-deserving population that continues to experience stigmatization within our healthcare system.

Objectives: Caesarean section (CS) delivery is the most common operative obstetric procedure globally. The increasing trend of CS deliveries poses a significant threat to both child and maternal health. The adverse maternal outcomes associated with caesarean delivery represent a substantial public health concern worldwide.
