Summary: This study found that puppies born by c-section had lower oxygen saturation at birth and 1 hour, as well as higher protein oxidation compared to those born by vaginal delivery. Vaginally delivered puppies had higher TBARS levels, while c-section puppies had higher GPx activity. Additionally, SOD decreased in c-section puppies within 72 hours. Overall, c-section may result in puppies being less exposed to the negative consequences of oxidative stress.

Summary: The study found that changes in vaginal microbiota during pregnancy correlated with bacterial vaginosis status and vaginal community state type. A novel vaginal dysbiosis score was developed and found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of emergency cesarean section.

Summary: This study evaluated a non-commercial turbidimetric CRP assay for monitoring early-onset neonatal sepsis, showing different serum CRP slopes among different birth weight categories and the predictive value of the serum CRP difference and birth weight for the outcome of septic newborns. The turbidimetric CRP assay was found to be a potential novel tool for managing neonatal sepsis in sub-Saharan Africa, with its simplicity and low cost making it well-suited for use in developing countries.

Summary: Oral azithromycin appears to be an effective preventive measure against postpartum infections in mothers, but its impact on neonatal outcomes has not been conclusively observed.

Summary: The study suggests that higher levels of IL-1ra are associated with reduced rates of Caesarean delivery, with neuraxial analgesia appearing to disrupt this link.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the application of three criteria in diagnosing culture-proven sepsis (CPS) in infants. The combination of positive blood culture, C-reactive protein, and clinical signs of infection can diagnose 98% of infants with CPS within 24 hours after suspicion of early onset sepsis. Based on normal C-reactive protein levels and the absence of a positive blood culture, antibiotic treatment could be stopped within 24 hours in 74% of infants.

Summary: This study assessed the success rate of vaginal birth after caesarean section and its associated factors in 2020 at Mizan-Tepi University Teaching Hospital in southwest Ethiopia. The study found a low success rate and identified factors such as macrosomia, prior successful vaginal birth, cervical dilation at admission, and duration of labor that were significantly associated with success. Emphasis should be placed on addressing these factors to improve the likelihood of successful vaginal birth after caesarean section.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the time to positivity (TTP) of blood cultures that develop pathogens in neonates with suspected early-onset sepsis. The results showed that the TTP of pathogens was generally less than 48 hours, suggesting that discontinuing empirical antibiotics 48 hours after initiation may be a safe practice to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use in asymptomatic infants with negative blood cultures.

Summary: Cesarean section is related to newborn metabolomic profiles, gut microbiome data, and cord blood immunology, indicating an increased risk of childhood asthma.

Summary: This study aimed to develop an inventory for reported outcomes for studies comparing planned caesarean section (CS) and planned vaginal delivery (VD) for women age 18-45. A systematic review of outcomes reported in prospective studies investigating planned mode of birth was conducted, revealing a total of 43 different primary outcomes and 79 different primary outcome measures, as well as 12 different secondary outcomes and 31 secondary outcome measures. The findings will contribute to the development of a core outcome set for planned mode of birth, aiding in standardizing outcomes and facilitating data comparison and interpretation.

Summary: Detecting and predicting bacteremic sepsis in preterm and term neonates is challenging. This study identified different risk factors and predictive markers for early-onset and late-onset neonatal sepsis. PCT and PLT count were accurate diagnostic serum markers for early-onset sepsis, while WBC count was useful for late-onset sepsis.

Summary: This study conducted a single-center retrospective study in a hospital, demonstrating that their evidence-based protocol led to a further decrease in antibiotic overtreatment compared to the EOS calculator, with no observed negative consequences for patients.

Summary: The study investigates the breathing patterns of newborn lambs and finds that there is significant heterogeneity in respiratory patterns during the immediate newborn period, which also change with time. This study provides insight into respiratory behaviors that may indicate respiratory distress in full-term newborn infants.

Summary: Serum IL-6 and PCT levels at the moment of suspected late onset neonatal sepsis offer valuable information about sepsis severity and mortality risk in preterm infants. These biomarkers have a superior discriminative value compared to CRP and may help identify patients requiring more intensive monitoring and therapy.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate if reliable liver elastography results can be achieved with fewer acquisitions in pediatric liver disease examination. The results showed that there was no significant difference between 3 or 4 acquisitions and 10 acquisitions for all systems, and the accuracy requirements can be met.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the patient trajectories of term infants with prolonged rupture of membranes as a risk factor for early-onset sepsis using biochemical surveillance or clinical observation. The results showed that hospitals using biochemical surveillance had more C-reactive protein measurements, neonatal intensive care unit admissions, and antibiotic treatment. However, there were no differences between the two methods in antibiotic treatment duration, early-onset sepsis cases, length of hospitalization, or adverse outcomes.

Summary: This study investigated the longitudinal change in Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) test and liver stiffness measurements (LSM) over a 5-year period in patients with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). The results showed that both ELF and LSM increased over time, with ELF potentially demonstrating superior reliability for risk stratification compared with LSM in PSC.

Summary: CAP is closely related to BMI z-scores, showing an increasing trend even in individuals with below-average BMI. In adults, CAP values were higher than in children, and higher in males than females. CAP demonstrated a strong correlation with the fatty liver index and a significant proportion of presumably healthy non-obese individuals exceeded the suggested cutoff values.
