Seizures are more common in the neonatal period than any other time due to the greater propensity of the immature brain to develop seizures, making them the most common neurological emergency in the neonatal period. The unique attribute of …
Hypoglycemia and impaired metabolic transition are frequently observed in neonates during the first 24–48 h after birth [1, 2]. Severe (< 36 mg/dL or 2 mmol/L) and recurrent (3 or more episodes) hypoglycemia can cause neurological injury and …
Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection occurs through placental transmission from mother to fetus. Of infected infants, 10%−15% are symptomatic while 85%−90% are asymptomatic [ 1 , 2 ]. The main clinical manifestation is sensorineural hearing …
Phototherapy is the standard treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. However, its impact on hematologic indices related to oxidative stress and systemic inflammation, particularly in preterm infants, remains insufficiently understood. In this …
This pilot study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of the first wearable phototherapy device in (near-)term neonates with unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia. This prospective single-arm intervention pilot study was conducted in the …
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare, inherited, autosomal, recessive neuromuscular disease typically caused by the loss of survival motor neuron 1 ( SMN1 ) gene from chromosome 5q, which leads to reduced SMN protein function and progressive …
