Airflow (V), tidal volume (TV), and EEG polygraphic recordings were performed in 30 normal full-term newborns (FTN) and in 10 premature newborns (PN). Besides the classical expiratory flow (CEF), a retarded expiratory flow (REF) was observed: a phase of slow flow ending with a sharp increase. REF was mostly encountered in quiet sleep (QS) in FTN. During REF, Te and Ttot became longer; Ti became shorter, with an increase in TV. In QS, sighs were more numerous in FTN with a high percentage of REF. Expiratory sudden short arrests of airflow (SSAA), less than or equal to 2 s, during expiration were more frequent in active sleep (AS) in FTN. REF may be due to some obstruction or to postinspiratory diaphragmatic activity; variations in functional capacity may also be involved.

Objective: To explore the clinical significance of trisomy 7 signaled by non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).

Methods: Pregnant women with high risk for trisomy 7 by NIPT from January 2017 to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects, and the results of prenatal diagnosis and follow-up were analyzed. Literature related to pregnant women with a high risk for trisomy 7 by NIPT from January 2016 to July 2024 was retrieved from China Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and PubMed database.

Background: Prematurely born individuals are usually of low or normal weight in childhood; in adulthood, however, their probability of being overweight is twice that of persons born at full term. There is not yet any way to predict the weight development of premature babies.

Methods: A polygenic BMI score (BMI = body-mass index), calculated from the often very small individual effects of more than 2 million genetic variants, was recently described for adults.

Background And Objectives: Donor human milk (DHM) from a human milk bank (HMB) is used to feed low-birthweight (LBW) and preterm infants when mothers cannot provide their own breastmilk. The misuse of DHM could interfere with mothers' breastmilk and weaken breastfeeding efforts. This study aimed to identify factors behind prolonged DHM usage during the first six years of Vietnam's first HMB.
