Collaborative Recognition of Wellbeing Needs: A Novel Approach to Universal Psychosocial Screening on the Neonatal Unit
AbstractUniversal screening for the psychological needs of families in neonatal care is internationally recommended, but is not routinely practiced in the United Kingdom (UK). The present quality improvement project explores the clinical and operational feasibility of a novel approach to universal screening on a neonatal intensive care unit in the UK. The approach to screening taken adopts collaborative, strengths-based and dialogical methods for recognising the psychological needs of families whose baby is in hospital. A novel screening tool, developed through consultation with families, is described. Over one month, 42 o...

Analysis of MRI brain biometrics in fetuses monitored for intra uterine growth restriction and their prognostic value: Results of a prospective multicenter study
Intra uterine growth restriction is a public health, with a variable incidence estimated at nearly 10  % of births in developed countries [1,2] and up to 34 % in emerging countries [3] with a recent estimation of nearly 32 million cases worldwide per year [4,5]. This pathology is associated with increased neonatal morbimortality [6]. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)

Periviable Premature Rupture of Membranes —Maternal and Neonatal Risks: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusion Women who undergo expectant management following periviable rupture of membranes experience significantly increased risks of sepsis, chorioamnionitis, and laparotomy. Overall, 39% of neonates survive to discharge. Knowledge of these risks is critical to counseling patients with this diagnosis.

Italian neonatal birthweight charts derived from INeS not separated by birth order
ConclusionsThe study presents non-separated Birth Weight INeS charts, bridging the gap when parity information is unavailable. Differences with separated charts were generally small, making them reliable for neonatal health assessment. Insights from L and S parameters contribute to standardized birth weight and adjust it by sex and Gestational Age, useful for defining SGA or LGA neonates. The paper enhances neonatal care tools, showcasing INeS chart flexibility in different clinical scenarios and supporting neonatology research. (Source: Italian Journal of Pediatrics)

Errors in Tables in Systematic Review of Perinatal Outcomes for Women With and Without Epilepsy
To the Editor On behalf of my coauthors, I write to address some errors identified in our Original Investigation, “Comparison of Perinatal Outcomes for Women With and Without Epilepsy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis” published online on March 13, 2023, and in the May 2023 issue of JAMA Neurology. A researcher/colleague brought these errors to our attention. (Source: JAMA Neurology)

Errors in Tables 1 and 2
In the Original Investigation titled “Comparison of Perinatal Outcomes for Women With and Without Epilepsy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis” published online on March 13, 2023, and in the May 2023 issue of JAMA Neurology, there were multiple errors in Tables 1 and 2. A copy-and-paste error led to discrepancies between the rep orted odds ratios and 95% CIs, and sample sizes were not updated after additional articles were included in the review and meta-analyses. Corrections have been made to Tables 1 and 2 in the article online. The authors have published a Letter of explanation and confirmed that the error did no...

Swallowing-like activity elicited in neonatal rat medullary slice preparation
Brain Res. 2024 Apr 26:148955. doi: 10.1016/j.brainres.2024.148955. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSwallowing is induced by a central pattern generator in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). We aimed to create a medullary slice preparation to elucidate the neural architecture of the central pattern generator of swallowing (Sw-CPG) and record its neural activities. Experiments were conducted on 2-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 46). The brainstem-spinal cord was transected at the pontomedullary and cervicothoracic junctions; the medulla was sliced transversely at thicknesses of 600, 700, or 800 μm. The rostral end of the...

Timing of administration of antenatal magnesium sulphate and correlation with umbilical cord blood magnesium levels in preterm babies
CONCLUSION: Mean cord blood magnesium levels served as a tool to determine the timing and duration of Neuroprophylaxis. Mean cord blood magnesium of 3.8 mg/dl should be achieved to serve the purpose of Neuroprotection. To achieve this, Bolus followed by Infusion should be administered for at-least 6 h prior to delivery.PMID:38678795 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.04.031 (Source: Reproductive Biology)
