A treatment to move blood from the umbilical cord into the body of newborns who are limp, pale and with minimal breathing, known as non-vigorous, does not appear to increase the risk of neurodevelopmental impairment, according to a study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The study included nearly 1,000 full-term and near-term infants. Researchers compared the treatment, known as umbilical cord milking, to early clamping and cutting of the cord — undertaken so resuscitation efforts can begin as soon as possible.

Children born with a common viral infection are nearly 2.5 times more likely to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, a new study finds.

Cytomegalovirus is part of the herpes family of viruses. It spreads through body fluids like blood, saliva and urine, and it’s usually harmless in healthy people. Around a third of infected mothers pass CMV to their fetus in utero.

About one in every 200 US babies is born with CMV each year. Nearly 20% of those infants will experience birth defects or other long-term health problems, such as hearing or vision loss, developmental delays or epilepsy.

The most extensive study of its kind, analyzing data from 273,260 female participants in the UK Biobank, suggests that the timing of menstruation and menopause could influence the risk of developing dementia later in life. Researchers from University College London found that individuals with a longer reproductive span—measured from the onset of menstruation to menopause—had a decreased risk of dementia. Those who menstruated for 34 to 37 years showed a 28 per cent reduced risk compared to those with a shorter reproductive span.

This case report presents a unique instance of abscesses with an uncommon pathogen isolated from blood cultures. We present the case of a perianal abscess in a 50-year-old man with a history of cocaine abuse and bilateral hip replacements. The rapid progression led to septic shock and multi-organ failure, requiring intensive care unit admission, surgery including protective transversostomy. Blood cultures showed growth of Butyricimonas spp. with resistance to penicillin and piperacillin-tazobactam. The immediate switch to meropenem led to a significant improvement in the patient’s condition. The patient was discharged after 40 days of hospitalization in good general condition and the reversal of the transversostomy was performed six months later.
