Department of Dermatology, Niño Jesús Children University Hospital, Madrid, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- The human skin barrier in newborns is underdeveloped, leading to increased vulnerability to conditions like atopic dermatitis (AD) and affecting skin hydration and resistance to irritants.
- A panel of eight clinicians developed a skincare algorithm to promote healthy skin in infants, emphasizing non-prescription methods based on clinical research and expert opinions.
- Recommended skincare practices include maintaining a cool environment, using gentle cleansers with a pH of 4-6, brief lukewarm baths, and applying hydrating moisturizers to strengthen the skin barrier from an early age.

Article Synopsis
- Neonates and infants have delicate skin that is still developing, making it more prone to barrier disruptions, which is why proper skincare is essential.* -
- A panel of eight clinicians created a consensus paper using the modified Delphi technique to emphasize the importance of ceramide-containing skincare products for maintaining skin barrier integrity in young patients.* -
- Daily use of safe, non-irritating cleansers and moisturizers, particularly those with ceramides, is recommended from birth to support healthy skin and enhance moisture retention over time.*

This review article focuses on neonatal respiratory physiology, mechanical ventilation of the neonate and changes induced by anesthesia and surgery. Optimal ventilation techniques for preterm and term neonates are discussed. In summary, neonates are at high risk for respiratory complications during anesthesia, which can be explained by their characteristic respiratory physiology.

Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is used to treat an increasing number of congenital and acquired disorders of the haematopoietic system. Even though cytoreductive conditioning regimens vary in intensity, all clinically used protocols invariably cause side effects that compromise transiently or long-term the response of the natural and the adaptive immune systems. However, in the context of the reconstruction of immunity, the generation of naïve T cells constitutes a slow process, and requires a functionally competent thymus.
