Background: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The feasibility and effectiveness of bovine versus porcine surfactants via less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) remain unstudied in LMICs. We compared clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of BLES versus poractant alfa in preterm infants with RDS managed with LISA.

Importance: Neonatal intensive care has advanced over recent decades, yet premature birth remains associated with increased neonatal mortality and morbidity.

Objective: To describe health service use, morbidity, and medication needs up to age 5 years in a contemporary cohort of children born preterm.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This population-based cohort study was conducted in British Columbia (BC), Canada, using health service and pharmacy data linked using provincial administrative databases.

Importance: For the first time in nearly 2 decades, the US infant mortality rate has increased, coinciding with a rise in overdose-related deaths as a leading cause of pregnancy-associated mortality in some states. Prematurity and low birth weight-often linked to opioid use in pregnancy-are major contributors.

Objective: To assess the health and economic impact of perinatal opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment on maternal and postpartum health, infant health in the first year of life, and infant long-term health.

Importance: Preterm children face a higher risk of cardiovascular conditions, including hypertension. However, studies have not isolated the associations of prematurity with cardiovascular conditions from the associations of subsequent complications with cardiovascular conditions, especially among those admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Objective: To investigate prospective associations of prematurity and NICU complications with childhood hypertension while accounting for prenatal and perinatal factors.

Diagnostic and Prognostic Significance of Exercise Stress Testing in Desmosomal Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy.

JACC Clin Electrophysiol

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Division of Heart Rhythm Services and the Windland Smith Rice Genetic Heart Rhythm Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA; Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, Windland Smith Rice Sudden Cardiac Death Genomics Laboratory,

Background: Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is characterized by fibrofatty myocardial replacement and increased arrhythmic risk. Although exercise exacerbates desmosomal ACM, the prognostic significance of arrhythmias during exercise stress tests (ESTs) remains unclear.

Objectives: The goal of this study was to determine the impact of ventricular arrhythmia observed during peak exercise and/or recovery EST phases on the risk of major ventricular arrhythmia (MVA) events in patients with desmosomal ACM.
