Awareness of sudden infant death syndrome and its associated risk factors among Saudi mothers attending well-baby clinics at PHC, PSMMC, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: The rate of knowledge and practice for good behavior regarding SIDS was low among Saudi mothers in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. SIDS-related deaths can be averted by improving the understanding of SIDS risk reduction practices among mothers by using health promotion strategies.PMID:37767455 | PMC:PMC10521861 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_1768_22 (Source: Primary Care)

Age-related cytokine imbalance in the thymus in sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
CONCLUSIONS: Elevated thymic cytokine expression and thymus weight, as well as impaired age-related alterations in SIDS, may be influenced by subclinical infection, which may play a role in initiating SIDS in infants with a compromised immune response.IMPACT STATEMENT: Increased thymic weight and cytokine concentration may suggest possible subclinical infection in SIDS. Elevated thymic weight and cytokine concentration mainly in SIDS cases aged <20 weeks. Age-related impairment in the thymic weight and cytokine expression may be impaired by subclinical infection in SIDS.PMID:37679518 | DOI:10.1038/s41390-023-02809-6 (Source: Cell Research)

Nonsyndromic Craniofacial Disorders
We describe the investigation and management of select pediatric craniofacial disorders their recent advances. Positional plagiocephaly: The incidence of positional plagiocephaly has increased since the institution of the “safe to sleep” campaign to reduce sudden infant death syndrome. Positional plagiocephaly may be associated with underlying developmental delay. Nonsyndromic craniosynostosis: Treatment of nonsyndromic craniosynostosis depends on the age of the patient and the suture involved. Pediatric skull le sions: Management of skull lesions depends on histologic diagnosis. Some benign skull lesions are managed c...

Impact of Prenatal Nicotine Exposure on Placental Function and Respiratory Neural Network Development
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2023;1428:233-244. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-32554-0_10.ABSTRACTSmoking during pregnancy is associated with multiple undesirable outcomes in infants, such as low birth weight, increased neonatal morbidity and mortality, and catastrophic conditions like sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Nicotine, the most addictive and teratogenic substance in tobacco smoke, reaches and crosses the placenta and can be accumulated in the amniotic fluid and distributed by fetal circulation, altering the cholinergic transmission by acting on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) expressed from very early gestational ...

Fostering a Positive Breastfeeding Environment for the Urologic Resident
As more female trainees enter the workforce,1 more urologic residents are likely to become breastfeeding mothers during their training. Breastfeeding has been shown to lower maternal incidence of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and ovarian cancer.2 Additionally, children who are breastfed have lower incidences of several pediatric disorders including: sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), childhood obesity, and childhood leukemia among others.2 The American Association of Pediatrics (AAP) recently released recommendations acknowledging the health advantages of continued breastfeeding beyond two years of age.
