Reference Ranges and Development Patterns of Fetal Myocardial Function Using Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Healthy Fetuses at 17 to 24 Weeks of Gestation
Conclusion Our study created Z-score and corresponding centile calculators, 5th and 95th centile reference tables, and corresponding graphs and determined the normal evolution across gestation using multiple somatic growth and age variables between 17 and 24 gestational weeks. These nomograms serve as an essential prerequisite for quantitatively evaluating fetal cardiac contractility and allow for precisely detecting early changes in the fetal heart function. Key Points [...] Thieme Medical Publishers, Inc. 333 Seventh Avenue, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10001, USAArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents  | Â...

Extreme preterm neonate with fetal warfarin syndrome
A 25+3 week gestation male infant weighing 493 g was delivered via caesarean section for intrauterine growth restriction and abnormal Dopplers. The mother was on long-term thromboprophylactic warfarin 5 mg/day due to her prosthetic mechanical heart valve following childhood rheumatic fever. Once pregnancy was diagnosed, at 4+0 weeks’ gestation, warfarin was discontinued and low-molecular-weight heparin was started. Warfarin was recommenced at 12+1 weeks’ gestation after a small maternal stroke. Neonatal dysmorphic facial features were noted, most obviously nasal hypoplasia (figure 1). The hypoplastic upper airw...

A Small-for-Gestational-Age Infant with MIRAGE Syndrome Who Developed Heat Stroke and Rhabdomyolysis due to Severe Temperature Instability
This report describes heat stroke and rhabdomyolysis caused by anhidrosis as a symptom of MIRAGE syndrome in a small-for-gestational-age (SGA) female neonate born at 32 weeks of gestation (birth weight, 911 g [-3.8 SD]). She developed severe temperature instability with anhidrosis, growth failure, mild developmental delay, hypothyroidism, and intractable enteropathy. On day 156, her temperature reached 42.0°C; her fever persisted for 2 h with prolonged irritability. Her serum creatine kinase level increased to a peak value of 12,716 (normal range, 43-321) IU/L. The clinical feature was diagnosed as rhabdomyolysis caused b...

Haemodynamic changes with varying chest compression rates in asphyxiated piglets
Conclusion Rate of CC was associated with changes in haemodynamic parameters during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. CC rate of 150–180/min during CC resulted in the highest cardiac output and arterial blood pressure. Trial registration number Preclincialtrials.eu PCTE0000249.

Umbilical cord thrombosis and chorioamnionitis in neonatal arterial ischaemic stroke
A baby boy was delivered at term by emergency caesarean section because of abnormal fetal heart rate patterns during spontaneous labour. The umbilical cord arterial blood obtained at delivery had a pH of 6.97 and a lactate concentration of 12.1 mmol/L. The Apgar scores were 3 and 7, respectively, at 1 and 5 min. The proximal umbilical cord had a thrombotic aspect at delivery (figure 1). A thrombus was also identified in the ductus venosus at 1 hour of life. The boy presented left hemicorporeal seizures at 21 hours of life, which revealed a neonatal arterial ischaemic stroke (NAIS; figure 2). Placental histology revealed ac...

Predicting Motor and Cognitive Outcomes from MRIs of Brain Structure in Children with Acquired Brain Injury: A Pilot Study
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) describes a range of brain injuries occurring after birth, including tumor, traumatic brain injury or stroke. Although MRIs are routinely used for diagnosis, prediction of outcome following brain injury is challenging. Quantitative structural information from brain images may provide an opportunity to predict patient outcomes; however, due to the high prevalence of severe pathology in children with ABI, quantitative approaches must be robust to injury severity.

Association of maternal body mass index and maternal morbidity and mortality
Conclusion: Super morbid obesity is significantly associated with increased serious maternal morbidity and mortality; however, cesarean appears to mediate this association. Obesity and morbid obesity are not associated with maternal morbidity and mortality.

Impact of maternal obesity on neonatal heart rate and cardiac size
Conclusion Maternal obesity was associated with increased heart rate, decreased heart rate variability and decreased left ventricular volumes in newborns. If persistent, these changes may provide a causal mechanism for the increased cardiovascular risk in adult offspring of mothers with obesity. In turn, modifying antenatal and perinatal maternal health may have the potential to optimise long-term cardiovascular health in offspring.

Diagnosis of hydrocephalus by cranial transillumination
A full-term neonate was examined to have significant macrocephaly (>>97th percentile), widened cranial sutures and a large bulging anterior fontanelle (AF). A light-emitting diode source applied on the AF revealed asymmetrical cranial transillumination, predominantly on the right (figure 1A). He was alert with spontaneous movements of all limbs but had generalised upper motor neuron (UMN) signs of hypertonia and hyper-reflexia. These signs indicated raised intracranial pressure from a possible right hemispheric cystic lesion. MRI showed a large right open-lip schizencephaly with encysted cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tha...

Outcome of non-cooled asphyxiated infants with under-recognised or delayed-onset encephalopathy
Conclusions All infants with documented perinatal asphyxia and seizure onset within 24 hours after birth who did not receive TH had abnormalities on MRI. 51% had an adverse outcome. Better methods for recognition of infants who might benefit from TH and careful neurodevelopmental follow-up are urgently needed.

Hemodynamic Assessment of Pregnant People with and without Obesity by Noninvasive Bioreactance: A Pilot Study
Conclusion Fat mass gain in the period between the first and second trimesters in addition to the hemodynamic changes due to obesity and pregnancy contribute to some degree of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction which was manifested by lower SVs. Future work should investigate the possible causative role of obesity in the cardiovascular changes identified in people with obesity.
