A Newly Defined, Common Ophthalmologic Condition Requires Special Neurological Attention

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
A host of acquired abnormalities in visual function are known to occur in persons who suffer stroke, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative disorders. Cerebral visual impairment occurs in children with early neurological injury or disorders, especially neonatal hypoxic‐ischemic injury.

Neuroblastoma in a newborn infant

Paediatrica Indonesiana, 1981
The incidence of neuroblastoma, one of the most common malignant neoplasms in infants and children is greatest at the age of two years; but occasionally is diagnosed at birth. The diagnosis may be simple or very complicated. It is even more difficult when it occurs in the newborn infant.

Iris Recognition for Infants [PDF]

arXiv
Non-invasive, efficient, physical token-less, accurate and stable identification methods for newborns may prevent baby swapping at birth, limit baby abductions and improve post-natal health monitoring across geographies, within the context of both the formal (i.e., hospitals) and informal (i.e., humanitarian and fragile settings) health sectors.

Hosts, microbiomes, and the evolution of critical windows

Evolution Letters, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 412-425, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The absence of microbial exposure early in life leaves individuals vulnerable to immune overreaction later in life, manifesting as immunopathology, autoimmunity, or allergies. A key factor is thought to be a “critical window” during which the host's immune system can “learn” tolerance, and beyond which learning is no longer possible.

Early life functional transitions impact craniofacial morphology in osteogenesis imperfecta

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Early life behaviors have a profound role in shaping adult craniofacial morphology. During early life, all mammals undergo the dynamic transition from suckling to mastication, a period coinciding with rapid cranial biomineralization. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder that impacts the production of type I collagen, disrupts ...

Newborn skin reflection: Proof of concept for a new approach for predicting gestational age at birth. A cross-sectional study [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Current methods to assess the gestational age during prenatal care or at birth are a global challenge. Disadvantages, such as low accessibility, high costs, and imprecision of clinical tests and ultrasonography measurements, may compromise health decisions at birth, based on the gestational age. Newborns organs and tissues can indirectly indicate their

Sourcing and utilization of bodies of the deceased for medical education and research: An examination of West African universities

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Bodies of the deceased are important for training healthcare professionals in anatomy education, research, and clinical skills. While body donation programs exist in many countries around the world, few exist in Africa, likely due to strong religious convictions of the public, socioeconomic factors, and other difficulties.

Ubenwa: Cry-based Diagnosis of Birth Asphyxia [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Every year, 3 million newborns die within the first month of life. Birth asphyxia and other breathing-related conditions are a leading cause of mortality during the neonatal phase. Current diagnostic methods are too sophisticated in terms of equipment, required expertise, and general logistics.

Exposure to pseudoephedrine during pregnancy and major congenital malformations: Findings from a large population‐based cohort of pregnancies

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The aim of this study was to assess the risk of major congenital malformations following first‐trimester pseudoephedrine (PSE) exposure. Methods A population‐based observational cohort study was conducted on pregnancies of women aged 15–49 years, insured by Clalit Health Services in southern Israel, who gave birth or had elective ...
