Biallelic COL4A2 Variants Associated With Brain Small Vessel Disease and Brain Malformations. [PDF]
Clin GenetBiallelic COL4A2 variants cause a spectrum of brain abnormalities such as brain small vessel disease (BSVD). We describe two cases—one with cerebrovascular disruption and one with cortical malformations—expanding the recessive phenotype. Protein modeling reveals destabilization by p.(Arg179Cys), reinforcing its pathogenic role and highlighting collagen

Providing very low-birth-weight infants with fast enteral feeding reduced how long they needed a central venous catheter. [PDF]
Acta PaediatrAbstract Aim To determine the impact of the protocol change from slow to fast enteral feeding progression on duration of central venous catheter placement, and the rates of late‐onset sepsis and necrotising enterocolitis. Methods We compared the evolution of all very low‐birth‐weight infants admitted on their first postnatal day in neonatal intensive ...

Adverse outcomes after red blood cell transfusion in very low birth weight infants in a resource-restricted hospital. [PDF]
TransfusionAbstract Background Red blood cell transfusions (RBCTs) in preterm infants are associated with various adverse outcomes including transfusion‐associated necrotizing enterocolitis (TANEC) and transfusion‐related late‐onset sepsis (TR‐LOS). This study aimed to determine the adverse outcomes of RBCTs in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI) at a resource ...

Urinary Calcium and Phosphorus Excretion in Vitamin D-Sufficient Preterm Infants: Establishing Age-Specific Normative Data. [PDF]
Acta PaediatrABSTRACT Aim This study evaluated urinary calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) excretion in very low birth weight infants ( < 1500 g, VLBW) without severe morbidity, treated with methylxanthines. Methods Eighty‐one VLBW infants were analysed. Urinary Ca and P and their creatinine ratios were measured biweekly until day 56.

Predictors of language and reading outcomes in 12-year-old children born very preterm. [PDF]
Acta PaediatrAbstract Aim To investigate predictors of language and reading outcomes in 12‐year‐old Swedish children born very preterm (<32 gestational weeks) in 2004–2007. Method Children born very preterm (n = 78, 43 girls), and term‐born controls (n = 50, 32 girls), were examined on verbal IQ, semantic and phonemic fluency, sentence recall, reading fluency, word
