Introduction: Children born very preterm (VPT; gestational age <32 weeks) are twice as likely to demonstrate behaviour problems such as aggression, non-compliance, temper tantrums and irritability compared with their term-born peers. While behavioural parent training (BPT), also referred to as behaviour therapy is a gold standard for prevention and treatment of childhood problem behaviours, there are limited accessible and effective BPT interventions for families with children born VPT. The purpose of this paper is to describe a multicentre, randomised controlled protocol for a factorial design trial evaluating the independent and combined effects of the Parent BPT intervention plus brief, weekly coaching calls on parent and child outcomes for families with toddlers born VPT.

Article Synopsis
  • Childlessness poses significant emotional challenges for infertile couples, especially during assisted reproductive treatments (ART), with mixed findings regarding the impact of anxiety on outcomes.
  • A study involving 79 infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilization in Tunisia categorized anxiety levels and assessed stress through blood cortisol levels, revealing that primary infertility was associated with higher stress.
  • The results indicated that severe anxiety negatively affected the implantation rate, while no significant difference was found in clinical pregnancy and live birth rates among different anxiety groups; psychological support is recommended to improve outcomes.

Newborns are the most vulnerable patients after cardiac surgery. Although mortality risk scores before surgery may help predict the risk of poor outcome, new tools are required, and biomarkers could add objective data to these tools. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (pro-ADM) and pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (pro-ANP) to predict poor outcome after cardiac surgery.

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Service, Maternal, Fetal and Neonatology Center Barcelona (BCNatal), Hospital Sant Joan de Déu and University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain.

The precise moment for weaning a patient off extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is not always easy to establish. Also, mechanical causes may obligate to disconnect the patient from the circuit before the optimal weaning off. In these selected cases, the patient can be disconnected from the circuit and the cannula can be left in place (stand-by cannula) until the patient's stability without ECMO is assured.
