RESPIRATORY PHENOTYPES of NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES: A challenging ISSUE for pediatricians
Ne uromuscular diseases (NMDs) encompass a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders, with respiratory problems of variable intensity and progression described at any pediatric age, from infancy to adolescence, and they are largely associated with significant lifelong morbidity and high mortality. Restriction of breathing, impaired gas exchange, decline of lung function and sleep disordered breathing progressively develop because of muscular weakness and culminate in respiratory failure. Depending on the disease progression, airways manifestations can take weeks to months or even years to evolve, thus depicting two major re...

Phenotype and genotype features of Vietnamese children with pachyonychia congenita
Pachyonychia congenita (PC) is a group of autosomal dominant disorders caused by mutations in one of five keratin genes (KRT6A, KRT6B, KRT6C, KRT16, or KRT17). PC is an extremely rare condition. To our knowledge, this is the largest genotype –phenotype study of PC in a Vietnamese population to date. (Source: Pediatrics and Neonatology)

Human Milk Oligosaccharides as Prebiotics
Based on its richness in immune-related components such as human milk, human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), milk proteins, and lipids, breast milk can be considered the first functional food that humans encounter in their lifetime. According to WHO recommendations breast milk has to be the only food in an infant ’s diet in the first six months of age which is then continued up to two years of age with the suitable complementary foods. Regarding breast milk balanced composition, it is considered as the best food of infants thus many studies have been carried out to determine the benefits of breast milk.

An ultra-preemie born at 317 g who developed severe transient hypogammaglobulinemia: Comparison with previous cases less than 28 weeks of gestation
A female infant was born via emergency cesarean section to a 37-year-old woman because of maternal superimposed preeclampsia and severe fetal growth restriction at 26 and 2/7 weeks of gestation. The infant's birth weight, length, and head circumference were 317 g, 25.0 cm, and 19.0 cm, respectively. For 75 days after birth, 155 doses (0.2–2.0 mg/day) of hydrocortisone were administered for frequent episodes of hypotension, late-onset circulatory collapse due to prematurity and chronic lung disease.
