Risk factors associated with the development of necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants on an exclusive human milk diet: a single-center case-control study.

Objective: Identify early neonatal and maternal risk factors for development of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm infants receiving an exclusive human milk diet (EHMD).

Study Design: Preterm infants who developed NEC stage ≥2 while receiving an EHMD were compared to matched controls who did not develop NEC on the same diet. Predictors of NEC were selected for multiple-predictor logistic regression analysis based on literature or significance in single-predictor models.

Bell's palsy with facial bone involvement: A rare presentation of chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis with literature review.

Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a chronic, sterile, inflammatory disease. It primarily presents with nonspecific bone pain and swelling but ultimately can cause bone destruction and deformities, if left untreated. The involvement of the cranial bones (apart from the mandible) is rare in CNO.

A tale of two intensive care units (ICUs): Baseline colonization and mupirocin susceptibility in neonatal and pediatric patients requiring intensive care.

Objective: To assess the incidence rate of colonization at baseline along with the mupirocin susceptibility (or resistance) rate in patients in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in conjunction with the implementation of universal decolonization as the standard of care.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Setting: Children's Hospital of Michigan (CHM) inpatient intensive care units (ICUs).
