The initial weeks of a newborn's life are marked by rapid physiological and behavioural adjustments as the infant adapts to the external environment. This critical period necessitates attentive care, prompting exploration into traditional practices such as oil massage, which holds cultural significance and is believed to enhance neonatal well-being. Despite its prevalence, empirical evidence supporting the efficacy of oil massage remains limited. This study, conducted in a rural setting, aims to bridge traditional practices with evidence-based care, exploring the impact of oil massage on newborn behavioural responses...

Infants exposed to HIV but uninfected (iHEU) display altered cellular immunity and are at increased risk of infection through poorly understood mechanisms. We previously reported that iHEU have lower levels of maternal microchimerism (MMc), maternal cells transferred to the offspring in utero/during breastfeeding. We evaluated MMc levels in T cell subsets in iHEU and HIV unexposed infants (iHU) to determine whether a selective deficiency in MMc may contribute to altered cellular immunity. Across all infants, MMc levels were highest in CD8+ T cells; however, the level of MMc in the CD8 T cell subset was significantly lower in iHEU compared to iHU...

UNLABELLED: Although estrogen affects the structure and function of the nervous system and brain and has a number of effects on cognition, its roles in the auditory and vestibular systems remain unclear. The actions of estrogen are mediated predominately through two classical nuclear estrogen receptors, estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) and estrogen receptor 2 (ESR2). In the current study, we investigated the roles of ESR1 in normal auditory function and balance performance using 3-month-old wild-type (WT) and Esr1 knockout (KO) mice on a CBA/CaJ background, a normal-hearing strain...

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) in infants is a rare vascular disorder that presents with nonspecific symptoms leading to a delay in diagnosis and treatment. Thrombus formation in the cerebral sinuses prevents blood from draining out of the brain leading to local and systemic complications. Here, we present an 11-week-old patient who presented to the emergency department (ED) with three days of lethargy, multiple episodes of projectile emesis, increased fussiness, and downward gaze. A CT scan demonstrated intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) with acute hydrocephalus...

INTRODUCTION: The GAIA (Global Alignment on Immunisation Safety Assessment in Pregnancy) consortium was established in 2014 with the aim of creating a standardised, globally coordinated approach to monitoring the safety of vaccines administered in pregnancy. The consortium developed twenty-six standardised definitions for classifying obstetric and infant adverse events. This systematic review sought to evaluate the current state of adverse event reporting in maternal vaccine trials following the publication of the case definitions by GAIA, and the extent to which these case definitions have been adopted in maternal vaccine safety research...

BACKGROUND: The immune response to hepatitis B vaccine may be influenced by numerous factors, and patients with non/low response re-exposed to hepatitis B virus remain susceptible. Thus, a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of non/low immune response in infants born to Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive mothers is essential. METHODS: 100 infants born to HBsAg-positive mothers from 2015 to 2020 were enrolled in the study, further divided into the non/low response group (n=13) and the moderate strong response group (n=87) based on the quantification of hepatitis B surface antibody at 12 months of age...

Secondary analysis of the Early Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey 2018 data set (Baby FACES 2018) explored links between family risk events and referral-making and referral uptake among families receiving Early Head Start (EHS) services. Referrals to both behavioral health and entitlement programs were considered. Results showed that referrals to behavioral health programs were much more likely to be given to families receiving care from home-based care than center-based care, and that referrals were slightly more likely to be given to families who did not have any family risk events...

BACKGROUND: Knowledge of gestational age (GA) is key in clinical management of individual obstetric patients, and critical to be able to calculate rates of preterm birth and small for GA at a population level. Currently, the gold standard for pregnancy dating is measurement of the fetal crown rump length at 11-14 weeks of gestation. However, this is not possible for women first presenting in later pregnancy, or in settings where routine ultrasound is not available. A reliable, cheap and easy to measure GA-dependent biomarker would provide an important breakthrough in estimating the age of pregnancy...

Viable microorganisms and a diverse microbial ecosystem found in human milk play a crucial role in promoting healthy immune system and shaping the microbial community in the infant's gut. Culturomics is a method to obtain a comprehensive repertoire of human milk microbiota. However, culturomics is an onerous procedure, and needs expertise, making it difficult to be widely implemented. Currently, there is no efficient and feasible culturomics method specifically designed for human milk microbiota yet. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a more efficient and feasible culturomics method specifically designed for human milk microbiota...

Congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) are special types of moles. CMN happen when extra pigment-making cells (melanocytes) grow in a baby's skin while the baby is forming before birth. They are not caused by anything their parent did or didn't do during pregnancy. These moles are there when the baby is born, stay on the skin for life, and grow as the child grows.
