Traumatic brain injuries are a large societal and individual burden. In the first year of life, the vast majority of these injuries are the result of inflicted abusive events by a trusted caregiver. Abusive head trauma (AHT) in infants, formerly known as shaken baby syndrome, is the leading cause of inflicted mortality and morbidity in this population. In this review we address clinical diagnosis, symptoms, prognosis, and neuropathology of AHT, emphasizing the burden of repetitive AHT. Next, we consider existing animal models of AHT, and evaluate key features of an ideal model, highlighting important developmental milestones in children most vulnerable to AHT...

IMPORTANCE: Maternal milk feeding of extremely preterm infants during the birth hospitalization has been associated with better neurodevelopmental outcomes compared with preterm formula. For infants receiving no or minimal maternal milk, it is unknown whether donor human milk conveys similar neurodevelopmental advantages vs preterm formula. OBJECTIVE: To determine if nutrient-fortified, pasteurized donor human milk improves neurodevelopmental outcomes at 22 to 26 months' corrected age compared with preterm infant formula among extremely preterm infants who received minimal maternal milk...

Lipid emulsion therapy (LET) is the intravenous administration of lipid solution for parenteral alimentation, especially in preterm infants and adults with debilitating illnesses. It has also been used in attempts of detoxification in suspected cases of drug overdose. Whether this interferes with circulation and/or perfusion is debatable, and it is suggested that it may interfere with coagulation process. The emulsifying agent has been identified microscopically mainly in the lungs of these patients, with rare reports in adults and even more rare ones in the brain; however, although it is rarely reported in other organs, to our knowledge, no reports of gross autopsy findings in the brain are available in the English literature, nor are there reports of pathologic findings after lipid emulsion therapy administration for drug toxicity...

Bacterial competition may rely on secretion systems such as the type 6 secretion system (T6SS), which punctures and releases toxic molecules into neighboring cells. To subsist, bacterial targets must counteract the threats posed by T6SS-positive competitors. In this study, we used a comprehensive genome-wide high-throughput screening approach to investigate the dynamics of interbacterial competition. Our primary goal was to identify deletion mutants within the well-characterized E. coli K-12 single-gene deletion library, the Keio collection, that demonstrated resistance to T6SS-mediated killing by the enteropathogenic bacterium Cronobacter malonaticus ...

UNLABELLED: Pertussis (whooping cough) is a reemergent, highly contagious respiratory infection of public health concern. Infants prior to initiation of their primary vaccination series are the most vulnerable to severe infection, and even death. Vaccination during pregnancy is an efficacious means of reducing infection in infants. This approach relies on boosting maternal immunity and passive transfer of antibodies to the infant via placenta and breast milk. Similarly, maternal vaccination post-partum can enhance maternal-infant immunity...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Patients who underwent red blood cell (RBC) transfusion from donors who later developed multiple spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages (ICHs) have recently been identified to have increased risk of ICH themselves. This increased risk of ICH was hypothesized to be related to iatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (iCAA) transmission. Two cases are presented who had RBC transfusion as an infant and presented with CAA at a relatively young age decades later. METHOD: Cases were identified by prospectively asking all patients at our CAA outpatient clinic (November 2023 to January 2024) about a medical history with RBC transfusion or history with a high likelihood for RBC transfusion (e...

Understanding pharmacokinetics (PK) in children is a prerequisite to determine optimal pediatric dosing. As plasma sampling in children is challenging, alternative PK sampling strategies are needed. In this case study we evaluated the suitability of saliva as alternative PK matrix to simplify studies in infants, investigating metamizole, an analgesic used off-label in infants. Six plasma and 6 saliva PK sample collections were scheduled after a single intravenous dose of 10 mg/kg metamizole. Plasma/saliva pharmacometric (PMX) modeling of the active metabolites 4-methylaminoantipyrine (4-MAA) and 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AA) was performed...
