Retrospective evaluation of early risk factors in children with different types of micturition disorders
ConclusionLow birth weight might predispose to combined day ‐time‐nocturnal incontinence. We are the first to show that patients suffering from micturition disorders with low birthweight present lower estimated bladder capacity than age‐matched children. Thus, we assume that low birthweight may have strong clinical relevance in children's micturition d isorders.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Acta Paediatrica)

Review and meta ‐analysis found that prenatal folic acid was associated with a 58% reduction in autism but had no effect on mental and motor development
ConclusionAlthough the results should be interpreted with caution, they showed that routine prenatal supplements of folic acid were associated with significantly lower levels of ASD. Further studies are needed to reach a firm conclusion, given the multifactorial aetiology of neurodevelopment.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Acta Paediatrica)

NIRS cerebral patterns in healthy late preterm and term infants are gender ‐ and gestational age‐dependent
ConclusionDifferent brain oximetry between males and females in preterm and term gestational ages, may suggest that in the perinatal period brain development is gender ‐ and time‐dependent. Data support the use of NIRS as a feasible tool for non‐invasive cerebral monitoring.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Acta Paediatrica)

Non ‐reassuring results in agreement trial comparing glass and plastic capillary tubes for neonatal blood gas sampling
ConclusionThe findings of this study do not advocate switching from glass to plastic capillary tubes in our Newborn Intensive Care Unit.
