Article Abstract
Objective: Sepsis remains a major cause of neonatal death. To better characterize the inflammatory response during neonatal sepsis, we compared the differences in serum cytokines and chemokines between full-term neonates with sepsis and without infection.
Methods: We enrolled 40 full-term neonates with sepsis and 26 full-term neonates without infection as controls between October 2016 and June 2018. Forty cytokines /chemokines in serum were analyzed using the Luminex Bead Immunoassay System.
Results: Our results showed that serum IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, IL-1β, MIF, CXCL13, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL5, CXCL6, CXCL16, CCL27, CCL2, CCL8, CCL3, CCL20, CCL23, and CX3CL1 levels were significantly increased in neonates with sepsis compared to those in the control group (all <0.05). The levels of serum CCL20, and IL-17 were higher in late-onset sepsis (LOS) than those in early-onset sepsis (EOS) (all <0.05). Conversely, serum CXCL16 was lower in LOS than that in EOS (<0.05).
Conclusion: Our findings revealed that excessive pro-inflammatory cytokines might be involved in neonatal sepsis. In addition, chemokines significantly increased the recruitment of immune cells after infection to participate in the anti-infection defense of neonates, but this could lead to damage.

Longitudinal analysis of oral microbiome changes during the neonatal period in full-term and preterm newborns.
J Oral Microbiol
September 2025
Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: The neonatal period is critical for oral microbiome establishment, but temporal patterns in preterm newborns remain unclear. This study examined longitudinal microbiome changes in full-term and preterm newborns and assessed perinatal and clinical influences.
Methods: Oral swabs were collected from 98 newborns (23 full-term, 75 preterm).
A rare case of complex perineal anomaly in a male neonate: Multistage surgical management.
Urol Case Rep

Pediatric Surgery Department "A", Children Hospital Bechir Hamza, Tunis, Tunisia.
We present a rare case of a full-term male neonate with a complex perineal anomaly featuring a mucosa-lined cleft extending from the penile base to the right gluteal fold, accompanied by penoscrotal transposition, hemiscrotal hypoplasia, and hypospadias. The lesion's anatomical and histological characteristics suggest antenatal rupture of a rectal duplication cyst. This report highlights the diagnostic challenges of exteriorized rectal duplications and underscores the importance of multistage reconstruction for optimal functional and cosmetic outcomes.

Background: Delivered between 34 and 36 weeks of gestation, late preterm neonates account for nearly 70% of all preterm births. While these neonates are often treated as if they were full term, they have different challenges and needs that pose significant caregiving challenges for their families. Therefore, this study aims to explore the needs of mothers in short-term care of late preterm neonates at home.

Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, American University of Beirut Medical Center, Beirut, Lebanon (Charafeddine).
Background: Preterm birth remains a leading cause of neonatal mortality globally and is worsened in crisis-affected countries like Lebanon. This study explored how social determinants of health relate to preterm birth and maternal postpartum outcomes, including quality of life (QoL), perceived stress, and social support.
Objective: to explore the impact of the social environment in polycrises context on preterm birth, the association between preterm birth and maternal postpartum QoL, perceived stress, and social support.
Clinical Phenotype, Predictors and Early Biomarkers of Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy Prognosis.
Pediatr Neurol

Department of Neurology & Neurosurgery, McGill University, Montréal, Québec, Canada; Department of Pediatrics, McGill University, Montréal, Québec, Canada.
Background: Dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP) is a severe subtype of cerebral palsy in which children often present substantial functional impairment and multiple comorbidities. Our knowledge of the clinical picture of DCP is limited and our understanding of which markers best predict later impairment is scarce. This study aims to describe the presentation of DCP and examine the value of gestational age (GA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings as early markers of eventual DCP prognosis.
