Summary: Premature birth, perinatal inflammation, and life-saving therapies such as postnatal oxygen and mechanical ventilation are strongly associated with the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). This study used a rabbit model to investigate the impact of premature birth on BPD pathophysiology and identified dysregulation of inflammatory response and relevant pathways for normal lung development. The findings highlight the importance of this model for mechanistic and pharmacological studies in the context of BPD.

Summary: Clinicians from 11 countries identified mechanical ventilation, supplemental oxygen >= 2 L/min, and respiratory-related rehospitalizations as the most important factors in determining the severity of CLDP in extremely preterm infants. Single-profile tasks showed that supplemental oxygen had the greatest impact on profile classification.

Summary: This scoping review aimed to screen available evidence regarding perinatal risk factors associated with the development and severity of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The results identified several risk factors for BPD, including male sex, maternal hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, low gestational age, small-for-gestational-age birth weight, and mechanical ventilation. Rating: 8 out of 10.

Summary: Premature birth, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and restrictive nutrition in the first weeks of postnatal life can have long-term effects on lung development and function. This study followed 313 very low birth weight neonates and found that inadequate protein/energy intake in the first week of life and poor weight gain until 36 weeks of gestational age were associated with worsened lung function parameters. These findings highlight the importance of early nutrition and growth in the prevention of respiratory issues in preterm infants.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the risk factors and clinical application value of lung ultrasound in the diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature infants. The results showed that lung ultrasound had better diagnostic efficiency for premature bronchopulmonary dysplasia than X-rays. The application of lung ultrasound can screen patients with bronchopulmonary dysplasia early for timely intervention.

Summary: Intra-amniotic infection (IAI) is a major cause of preterm birth and can have both positive and negative effects on premature lung development. Animal models are essential for studying the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), as the intra-amniotic cavity is inaccessible during pregnancies. Imbalanced inflammation, regulated by lung immune cells such as macrophages, may lead to abnormal lung development, while excessive suppression of inflammation can also cause lung injury. Effective strategies for preventing and treating BPD are currently scarce.

Summary: The study found that low levels of adiponectin (APN) in the lungs of premature and BPD patients are associated with disrupted lung development. Administering recombinant APN protein to hyperoxia-exposed mice can attenuate the BPD phenotype and improve lung function..closePathExogenous APN may be considered as a potential therapeutic agent to prevent BPD.

Summary: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease in premature infants, which is caused by the pathological reparative response of the developing lung to pre- and postnatal injuries. The pathogenesis of BPD is multifactorial and heterogeneous, with varying degrees of damage to the development of airways, lung parenchyma, interstitium, lymphatic system, and pulmonary vasculature. Different clinical phenotypes of BPD have been proposed, and personalized medicine approaches can aid in targeted therapeutic and prognostic strategies.

Summary: Inflammation causes bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a common lung disease of preterm infants. This study aims to investigate the effect of hyperoxia (HO) on lymphatic endothelial homeostasis in a BPD model using neonatal mice and human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (HDLECs). The results showed that HO disrupted lymphatic endothelial homeostasis by reducing the expression of Prox1 and Vegf-c, impairing the tubule formation ability, and decreasing lymphatic vessel density and function in neonatal murine lungs.

Summary: Vitamin A supplementation is beneficial for the prophylaxis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature infants, but no significant differences were found in the incidence of other complications such as retinopathy of prematurity, necrotizing enterocolitis, intraventricular hemorrhage, sepsis, and mortality. Further studies on administration approaches and dosages are warranted.

Summary: This study evaluated the repeatability and reproducibility of TE and pSWE VTQ in children with CF, finding both techniques to be reliable for assessing liver fibrosis. The high ICC values obtained suggest that TE and pSWE VTQ can be used effectively in the follow-up of CF patients, depending on their availability in CF centers.

Summary: The study found that the use of protease inhibitor (PI) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) based regimens did not show significant association with adverse pregnancy outcomes, except for nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) combinations. The number of integrase inhibitor (INI)-based combinations was too low to draw conclusions from.

Summary: Adolescents living with HIV face various co-morbidities, including growth retardation and immunodeficiency. This study analyzed data from CIPHER global project and found that growth patterns differed by sex and region, while CD4 patterns were similar. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial for improving growth and CD4 outcomes in adolescents with HIV.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the safety and effectiveness of atazanavir use in children and adolescents. The results showed that there were limited data on the safety and effectiveness of atazanavir in this population, with transient grade 3-4 hyperbilirubinemia being the main adverse outcome reported. However, atazanavir/ritonavir remains a suitable option for a preferred second-line antiretroviral regimen in children and adolescents.

Summary: In this study, the researchers conducted a systematic review on the adverse perinatal outcomes associated with prenatal exposure to protease inhibitors (PI) based antiretroviral therapy (ART) compared with non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) based ART. The findings showed no significant association between prenatal exposure to PIs and most adverse perinatal outcomes, except for a significantly increased risk of very small for gestational age (VSGA).

Summary: Infant HIV prophylaxis with broadly neutralizing anti-HIV antibodies (bNAbs) could be a cost-effective intervention to reduce vertical HIV transmission in sub-Saharan African settings, according to a cost-effectiveness analysis. The study estimated the potential clinical impact and cost-effectiveness of hypothetical bNAb prophylaxis programs for HIV-exposed children in Cote d'Ivoire, South Africa, and Zimbabwe and found that bNAb prophylaxis would significantly reduce infant HIV incidence.

Summary: This study aimed to describe pubertal growth spurts among adolescents with perinatally acquired HIV on antiretroviral therapy. The study found that older age at ART initiation and lower height-for-age z-scores were associated with delayed and less intense growth spurts. Longer-term follow-up is important for understanding the impact of delayed growth.

Summary: This systematic review assessed the efficacy and safety of TAF in infants, children, and adolescents living with HIV. The results showed that TAF-containing regimens can effectively suppress viral replication and have good safety profiles over 24-48 weeks of treatment. However, further research is needed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety, including the impact on weight and metabolic changes, in children and adolescents.

Summary: This study aims to assess the access children with HIV have to comprehensive HIV care services, evaluate the implementation and scale-up of services, and explore whether access to these services influences retention in care. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 174 IeDEA sites in 32 countries, and a comprehensiveness score based on WHO's essential services was developed to categorize sites. The findings suggest that meeting recommendations for comprehensive HIV services should remain a global priority.
