Assessment of the neonatal referral and transport system for patients with gastroschisis in Kenya
ConclusionThis study demonstrates that pre-transit and transit care of neonates with gastroschisis is inadequate in Kenya. Interventions needed, as identified by this study, to promote care of neonates with gastroschisis are advised. (Source: Pediatric Surgery International)

Clinical features of patients who underwent anoplasty for cloacal exstrophy and their functional outcomes: the results of a nationwide survey in Japan
ConclusionIn our study, spinal defects may have affected the determination of anoplasty. Anoplasty may improve the quality of life, because defecation can be kept clean, but indications, including colon function, may be carefully considered. (Source: Pediatric Surgery International)

Mutation of FLNA attenuating the migration of abdominal muscles contributed to Melnick –Needles syndrome (MNS) in a family with recurrent miscarriage
ConclusionOur research revealed a mutation site of theFLNA for MNS and explored the mechanism of midline structure dysplasia in the abdominal wall of male patients, which could provide more evidence for the clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling of families with these disorders.

Impact of Social Vulnerability on Long-Term Growth Outcomes in Sutureless Versus Sutured Repair of Gastroschisis
Conclusion Sutureless and sutured gastroschisis repairs result in similar growth and long-term outcomes. Patients living in areas with greater social vulnerability may be at increased risk of poor weight gain. Patients should be followed at least through their first year to ensure appropriate growth.

Gastroschisis in Mozambique: current status and priorities for improving care from Hospital Central de Maputo, the largest and referral hospital of the country
ConclusionWhile the mortality rate remains high for gastroschisis patients in Mozambique, there have been a few survivors when surgery is performed. Improvements in neonatal care are needed. Given the high mortality rates and limited resources, we plan to focus our surgical efforts on bedside closure techniques. (Source: Pediatric Surgery International)

Gastroschisis Outcomes: Presence of Histologic Chorioamnionitis and the Impact on Time to Full Enteral Feeds and Length of Hospital Stay
Conclusion Acute placental inflammation during the perinatal period does not impact the infant's time to achieve full feeds or prolong their hospital stay. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Fetal Risks and Morbidity in Pregnant Individuals with Obesity
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo provide an up-to-date summary on the fetal risks associated with maternal obesity, specifically the risks of fetal anomalies, abnormal fetal growth, and stillbirth.Recent FindingsWith the emerging data on fetal outcomes in individuals with the highest class of obesity, there is growing evidence that for many fetal adverse outcomes, there is a direct relationship between increasing maternal obesity class and the severity of the fetal outcome.SummaryMaternal obesity is associated with an increased risk of various fetal anomalies including fetal congenital cardiac disease, although there is a decre...
