Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the implementation of an institutional protocol for universal delayed umbilical cord clamping (DCC) at term on maternal, neonatal, and umbilical cord blood gas outcomes.
Study Design: This is a retrospective cohort study of singleton term gestations from April through July 2017. On June 1, 2017, a protocol was implemented for DCC in all deliveries. Outcomes were compared between patients delivered prior to and those delivered after implementation. The primary outcome was postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Secondary outcomes were additional adverse maternal, neonatal, and umbilical cord blood gas outcomes. Multivariable logistic regression was used to adjust for potential confounders.
Results: Of 682 patients, 341 were delivered preprotocol and 341 were delivered postprotocol. After implementation, there was 91.8% adherence to the protocol. Overall, there was no significant difference in PPH between patients delivered preprotocol and those delivered postprotocol (8.2 vs. 13.2%; adjusted relative risk [aRR]: 1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.98-1.51). There was a significant decrease in the ability to obtain paired arterial and venous umbilical cord blood gases from preprotocol to postprotocol (83 vs. 63.6%; aRR: 0.62 [95% CI: 0.50-0.76]). There were no significant differences in abnormal umbilical cord blood gases or neonatal outcomes.
Conclusion: We did not find an increased risk of adverse outcomes associated with the widespread use of DCC.

Background: Umbilical arterial catheterisation is a common intervention performed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) especially in extremely preterm and extremely low birth weight neonates. Rarely catheter fracture or breakage can occur, leaving behind part of the catheter in the aorta. A handful of cases have been reported in the literature, with the majority being managed surgically.

Excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) is associated with various adverse pregnancy outcomes, including disruption of placental function and fetal development. Iron transport through the placenta is crucial for fetal growth, and transferrin receptor 2 (TfR2) plays a key role in iron homeostasis. However, the effect of excessive GWG on placental TfR2 expression and neonatal iron parameters remains unclear.

Background: Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are often older, which brings challenges of endurance and persistent efficacy of autologous chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies. Allogenic CAR-natural killer (NK) cell therapies may offer reduced toxicities and enhanced anti-leukemic potential against AML. CD33 CAR-NK cells have been investigated for AML therapy.

Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) is a severe condition leading to extensive neuronal loss and functional impairments, representing a significant challenge in neonatal care. PFGA12, a peptide derived from fibrinogen alpha chain (FGA), which is notably downregulated in the umbilical cord blood of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) infants. We demonstrate that PFGA12 significantly enhances cell viability and mitigates oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R)-induced neuronal cell death.

Glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy are complex eye diseases that involve inflammation. Several cellular models are developed to study inflammation mechanisms in the posterior segment of the eye. These models, are composed of cells of various origins (human or animal), derived from different tissues (retina, choroid, skin, and umbilical cord) and belonging to different cell types (epithelial, endothelial, vascular, and neuronal).
