Two infants with biopsy-proven microcystic Finnish congenital nephrotic syndrome (onset at birth) were treated with a combination of captopril and indomethacin for 2 1/2 and 2 years, respectively; they had a marked reduction of urinary protein excretion without further need for albumin infusions. One infant has end-stage renal disease; the other infant's glomerular filtration rate has remained within normal limits.

Mortality in Patients with 22q11.2 Rearrangements.
Genes (Basel)

Institute of Medical and Molecular Genetics, Hospital Universitario La Paz, INGEMM-IdIPAZ, 28046 Madrid, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- The 22q11.2 region is prone to genetic changes that can lead to several disorders, such as 22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome and Emanuel Syndrome.
- This study examines mortality rates, average age at death, and risk factors in 223 confirmed patients with 22q11.2 rearrangements, revealing that 21 (9.4%) of them died, predominantly in early childhood.
- Key findings show that 71.42% of deaths were due to cardiac causes, with a median age of death of 3 months and 18 days, contributing valuable data on mortality associated with these genetic disorders.
Congenital heart defects in children born after assisted reproductive technology: a CoNARTaS study.
Eur Heart J
September 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Institute of Clinical Sciences, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Diagnosvägen 14, 416 85 Gothenburg, Sweden.
Background And Aims: Children born after assisted reproductive technology (ART) have worse perinatal outcomes compared with spontaneously conceived children. This study investigates whether children conceived after ART have a higher risk of congenital heart defects (CHDs) compared with children born after spontaneous conception (SC).
Methods: All 7 747 637 liveborn children in Denmark (1994-2014), Finland (1990-2014), Norway (1984-2015), and Sweden (1987-2015), where 171 735 children were conceived after ART, were included.
Prevalence, Mortality, and Associated Anomalies in Esophageal Atresia: A Retrospective Study of Finnish Population Data (2004-2017).

Department of Paediatric Surgery, Orthopaedics and Traumatology, University of Turku and Turku University Hospital, Turku, Finland.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the prevalence, associated anomalies, and mortality of esophageal atresia (EA) in Finland from 2004 to 2017, hypothesizing that the Spitz classification and other congenital malformations would predict patient mortality.
- A total of 337 EA cases were identified, with a prevalence of 4.17 per 10,000 births; the study noted a 5% neonatal mortality rate and a 91.5% survival rate at 1 year.
- Results showed that syndromic cases had higher mortality, and the Spitz classification was a better predictor of neonatal mortality compared to cardiac anomalies, with type C being the most prevalent atresia type.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied strokes from 1990 to 2021 to understand how many people get them and how they are affected around the world.
- In 2021, strokes caused about 7.3 million deaths and were a major cause of health problems, especially in specific regions like Southeast Asia and Oceania.
- There are differences in stroke risks based on where people live and their age, and some areas actually saw more strokes happening since 2015.
