A rare emergent complication Following Roux-en-Y Hepatico(porto)jejunostomy in children with biliary tract anomalies
Biliary tract anomalies, including choledochal cyst (CC) and biliary atresia (BA), require Roux-en-Y hepatico(porto)jejunostomy (RY-HPJ) to re-establish bile flow via the biliary limb, also called the Roux limb (RL) or the afferent limb. Herein, we describe a case of afferent limb syndrome (ALS) after RY-HPJ with a grave outcome. (Source: Pediatrics and Neonatology)

Clinical characteristics of preterm and term infants with Ureaplasma in gastric fluid
Ureaplasma spp. is an endemic microorganism that causes placental chorioamnionitis or preterm delivery in pregnant women, and the occurrence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia or intraventricular hemorrhaging in preterm infants after birth, although the pathogenicity of Ureaplasma remains controversial. The association between Ureaplasma exposure and the symptoms or outcomes of infected mothers or their infants born at term remains poorly understood. We investigated the clinical characteristics of preterm and term infants with or without Ureaplasma in their gastric fluid. (Source: Pediatrics and Neonatology)

Cost-Effectiveness of Nirsevimab and Palivizumab for Respiratory Syncytial Virus Prophylaxis in Preterm Infants 29-34 6/7 Weeks ’ Gestation in the United States
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) hospitalizations have increased since the 2014 guideline update recommended against the use of palivizumab for preterm infants born ≥29 0/7 weeks’ gestational age (GA) without additional risk factors. A novel drug candidate, nirsevimab, is being developed for this population. We analyzed the cost-effectiveness of palivizumab/nirsevimab vs. no prophylaxis in this population.

Postneonatal Mortality of Severely Small for Gestational Age Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants
Infants born with weights below the 10th percentile of the expected birth weight for gestational age, defined as small for gestational age (SGA), have an increased risk of neonatal mortality and prematurity-related complications. However, the relationship between SGA and postneonatal (28 days to (Source: Pediatrics and Neonatology)

Causative Microbes and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Acute Appendicitis in Adults and Children
In recent years, some studies have found that acute uncomplicated appendicitis can be treated with antibiotics alone. Because of the lack of relevant research on treating acute appendicitis in Taiwan, this study investigated the microbiological characteristics of acute appendicitis to permit accurate empirical antibiotic use for uncomplicated appendicitis.

Effect of probiotics on mother-to-neonate vertical transmission of Group B Streptococci: a prospective open-label randomized study
Group B Streptococci (GBS) are common vaginal bacteria found in 20 –30% of pregnant women and a significant cause of invasive infections in newborns. Recently, attention has been focused on the efficacy of probiotics during the perinatal period. However, the effect of probiotic intake on the mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of GBS remains unknown. (Source: Pediatrics and Neonatology)

Evaluation of brain development and damage using magnetic resonance imaging of congenital diaphragmatic hernia survivors: An analysis using the global brain abnormality score
The short-term prognosis of central nervous system in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) survivors has been determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but its relationship with acute management is unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between the intubation period and the Global Brain Abnormality Score (GBAS) in CDH survivors using brain MRI. (Source: Pediatrics and Neonatology)
