Background: Most mucose-cutaneous infections can be diagnosed by clinical history with explorative technique. Nevertheless the definitive etiologic diagnostic can only be established with the help of the isolation and identification of the causal agent.
Patient And Methods: We reported a case of generalized infection in a new born, with is clinical characteristics, virological diagnostic techniques and treatment of the disease.
Results: Herpes simplex virus was isolated in Vero cellular culture from CRL and vesiculose lesions of the child's thorax region and from the mothers endocervical scrapes. The agent was identified by seroneutralization test. This confirmed a perinatal transmission of Herpes simplex virus type 2. The tomographic studies revealed characteristic alterations of a viral encephalitis. An antiviral treatment was useful in this therapy.
Conclusions: Our results demonstrate the importance of an early viral diagnostic which permits the applications of specific treatment and thus the prevention of severe complications.

A prospective observational multicenter cohort study of maternal serum sFlt-1 and PlGF concentration in prediction of adverse neonatal outcomes in small for gestational age newborns delivered ≥34 weeks of gestation.

Introduction: Small-for-gestational age (SGA) newborns are at increased risk of adverse neonatal outcomes and the risk is related to the etiology of growth restriction: highest in placental insufficiency, lowest in constitutional SGA. The aim of this study was to investigate if placental growth factor (PlGF), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1(sFlt-1) or sFlt-1/PlGF ratio are efficient in prediction of adverse neonatal outcomes in SGA newborns delivered ≥34 weeks of gestation.
Methods: A prospective observational multicenter cohort study was performed.
Objectives: This study aimed to develop a prediction model for the detection of early sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI), which is defined as AKI diagnosed within 48 hours of a sepsis diagnosis.
Design: A retrospective study design was employed. It is not linked to a clinical trial.
Understanding the impact of racism on surgical outcomes in settler nation-states USA and Canada: a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: To improve surgical quality and safety, health systems must prioritise equitable care for surgical patients. Racialised patients experience worse postoperative outcomes when compared with non-racialised surgical patients in settler colonial nation-states. Identifying preventable adverse outcomes for equity-deserving patient populations is an important starting point to begin to address these gaps in care.
