Background: Delayed cord clamping (DCC) occurs in most preterm births.
Objective: Evaluate the association of DCC with acute kidney injury (AKI) and two-year kidney outcomes.
Methods: Secondary analysis of the Preterm Erythropoietin Neuroprotection Trial of neonates born 24 to 27 weeks' gestation. AKI and two year kidney outcomes were compared in neonates with DCC (≥30 seconds after delivery) to those with early cord clamping (ECC) (<30 seconds after delivery).
Results: The incidence and severity of AKI did not differ between the DCC and ECC groups (aOR 1.17 [95%CI 0.76-1.80]). At two years corrected age, DCC was associated with a 4.5-fold times increased adjusted odds of eGFR <90 mL/min/1.73m. No significant associations were noted between DCC and albuminuria or elevated BP.
Conclusions: DCC was not associated with decreased neonatal AKI, but was associated with higher adjusted odds of eGFR <90 mL/min/1.73m at two years.

Background: Neuropathic pain profoundly affects the quality of life of patients and requires considerable medical resources. Extensive evidence indicates that neuroinflammation within the spinal cord plays a critical role in modulating neuropathic pain. Curcumin, renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties, has shown potential in alleviating neuropathic pain.

To assess the effects of delayed cord clamping (DCC) at birth on newborns diagnosed with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). This prospective, randomized, controlled study included newborns diagnosed with IUGR during pregnancy follow-up and born at a gestational age of ≥28 weeks. Early cord clamping (ECC) was performed immediately after birth, whereas DCC was performed 60 s postdelivery.

A double true umbilical cord knot (TUCK) is a rare complication of pregnancy that is often missed on ultrasonography. The stricture caused by TUCK can lead to occlusion of fetal circulation, fetal asphyxia, and subsequent death. Despite these risks, there is a lack of evidence and no specific consensus on both antepartum and intrapartum management of TUCK.

Paclitaxel (PTX), a commonly used chemotherapeutic, frequently leads to chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), characterized by persistent pain and neuronal hypersensitivity. While its effects on peripheral nerves are well-documented, paclitaxel also influences central nervous system pathways, particularly spinal synaptic transmission, through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation and subsequent sensitization of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptors. In this study, we used an in vitro model of paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain to investigate the role of glial activation in TRPV1 receptor function.

Objective: Paraplegia from spinal cord ischemia (SCI) is a life-altering complication of aortic surgery. While various strategies have been employed to enhance spinal cord perfusion, no pharmaceutical agents have been used clinically to mitigate the risk of SCI. Inhibition of Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II (CaMKII) pathway has shown neuroprotective effects in rodent cerebral ischemia; however, its role in spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury has yet to be investigated.
