The Influence of Neurotrophins on the Brain-Lung Axis: Conception, Pregnancy, and Neonatal Period
Curr Issues Mol Biol. 2024 Mar 15;46(3):2528-2543. doi: 10.3390/cimb46030160.ABSTRACTNeurotrophins (NTs) are four small proteins produced by both neuronal and non-neuronal cells; they include nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and neurotrophin-4 (NT-4). NTs can exert their action through both genomic and non-genomic mechanisms by interacting with specific receptors. Initial studies on NTs have identified them only as functional molecules of the nervous system. However, recent research have shown that some tissues and organs (such as the lungs, skin, and skeletal and ...

Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 518: Sudden Infant Death Associated with Rhinovirus Infection
Catherine Manoha A less than one-month-old infant with symptoms of rhinitis died unexpectedly in his sleep. He was not born prematurely and had no known underlying disease. Cerebrospinal fluid, nasopharyngeal and lung samples, and rectal swab were found to be positive for subgroup A rhinovirus, while the blood was negative. This case highlights the important finding that the rhinovirus, a common pathogen associated with upper respiratory tract infections, can sometimes, as the only pathogen, lead to complications such as a cerebrospinal infection and be involved in the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Vigilance is...

Timing and causes of death to 1 year among children presenting to emergency departments
CONCLUSIONS: The 1-year mortality of children presenting to an ED is 2.2% for injured children and 1.4% for medically ill children with most deaths occurring in the ED. Future interventional trials, quality improvement efforts, and health policy focused in the ED could have the potential to improve outcomes of pediatric patients.PMID:38499441 | DOI:10.1111/acem.14875 (Source: Accident and Emergency Nursing)

Reprogramming of the developing heart by Hif1a-deficient sympathetic system and maternal diabetes exposure
In conclusion, our findings indicate that the interplay between deficiencies in the cardiac sympathetic system and subtle structural alternations in the vasculature, microvasculature, and myocardium during heart development not only increases the risk of cardiovascular disease but also diminishes the adaptability to the stress associated with the transition to extrauterine life, thus increasing the risk of neonatal death.

Prenatal nicotine exposure during pregnancy results in adverse neurodevelopmental alterations and neurobehavioral deficits
Adv Drug Alcohol Res. 2023 Aug 11;3:11628. doi: 10.3389/adar.2023.11628. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTMaternal tobacco use and nicotine exposure during pregnancy have been associated with adverse birth outcomes in infants and can lead to preventable pregnancy complications. Exposure to nicotine and other compounds in tobacco and electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has been shown to increases the risk of miscarriage, prematurity, stillbirth, low birth weight, perinatal morbidity, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Additionally, recent data provided by clinical and pre-clinical research demonstrates that nicotine exposure...

Brainstem Encephalitis as a Cause of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Sudden unexpected infant death or sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) are terms used for children younger than 1 year of age who die suddenly without an obvious cause before investigation. SIDS often occurs during sleep and affects nearly 3500 children in the US each year. Despite many measures taken to prevent the illness, the incidence remains unchanged since the year 2000. In this issue of JAMA Neurology, Ramachandran et al report an investigation of 64 cases of SIDS. The authors found elevated levels of neopterin in the cerebrospinal fluid of 6 cases. Because the major source of neopterin is activated macrophages, it i...
