    Abstract (1) Background: Prematurity is a serious condition associated with long-term neurological disability. This study aimed to compare the neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm neonates with or without sepsis. (2) Methods: This single-center retrospective case-control study included infants with birth weight < 1500 g and/or gestational age ≤ 30 weeks. Short-term outcomes, brain MRI findings, and severe functional disability (SFD) at age 24 months were compared between infants with culture-proven or culture-negative sepsis or without sepsis. A chi-squared test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the clinical and instrumental characteristics and the outcomes between cases and controls. (3) Results: Infants with sepsis (all sepsis n = 76; of which culture-proven n = 33 and culture-negative n = 43) were matched with infants without sepsis (n = 76). Compared with infants without sepsis, both all sepsis and culture-proven sepsis were associated with SFD. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, SFD was associated with intraventricular hemorrhage (OR 4.7, CI 1.7-13.1,

    Abstract Enteroviruses (EVs) are an important source of infection in the paediatric age, with most cases concerning the neonatal age and early infancy. Molecular epidemiology is crucial to understand the circulation of main serotypes in a specific area and period due to their extreme epidemiological variability. The diagnosis of EVs infection currently relies on the detection of EVs RNA in biological samples (usually cerebrospinal fluid and plasma, but also throat swabs and feces) through a polymerase chain reaction assay. Although EVs infections usually have a benign course, they sometimes become life threatening, especially when symptoms develop in the first few days of life. Mortality is primarily associated with myocarditis, acute hepatitis, and multi-organ failure. Neurodevelopmental sequelae have been reported following severe infections with central nervous system involvement. Unfortunately, at present, the treatment of EVs infections is mainly supportive. The use of specific antiviral agents in severe neonatal infections has been reported in single cases or studies including few neonates. Therefore, further studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of these drugs in clinical practice.

    Abstract Background: Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) is a rare disease with potential catastrophic consequences. However, neonatal brain damage after venous injury and long-term neurologic outcomes have been poorly investigated. Some found an association between site and number of sinus occlusions, severity of lesions, clinical presentation and the neurodevelopmental outcome.
    Case presentation: We describe the case of a term newborn girl with multiple CSVT who presented with clonic seizures and who received early treatment with heparin. MRI scans showed a progressive recanalization of deep venous system, and only minor cerebral lesions were present at 3 months of life. Neurocognitive outcome was normal at 12 months of life.
    Conclusions: This case demonstrates that multiple CSVT presenting with severe seizures does not necessarily underlie major cerebral lesions or lead to severely abnormal neurodevelopmental outcome.

    Abstract Introduction: Neonatal seizures (NS) are the most common neurological emergency in the neonatal period. The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) proposed a new classification of NS based on semiology and highlighted the correlation between semiology and aetiology. However, neurodevelopmental outcomes have not been comprehensively evaluated based on this new classification.
    Aims: To evaluate neurodevelopmental outcomes and potential risk factors for severe outcomes in NS.
    Methods: Patients with video electroencephalogram confirmed NS were evaluated. Seizure aetiology, cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, background electroencephalograms data, general movements, and neurodevelopmental outcomes were analysed. Severe outcomes were one of the following: death, cerebral palsy, Griffiths developmental quotient <70, epilepsy, deafness, or blindness.
    Results: A total of 74 neonates were evaluated: 62 (83.8 %) with acute provoked NS (primarily hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy), and 12 (16.2 %) with neonatal-onset epilepsies (self-limited neonatal epilepsy, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, cerebral malformations). Of these, 32 (43.2 %) had electrographic seizures, while 42 (56.7 %) had electroclinical seizures - 38 (90.5 %) were motor (42.1 % clonic) and 4 (9.5 %) were non-motor phenomena. Severe outcomes occurred in 33 of the 74 (44.6 %) participants. In multivariate analysis, neonatal-onset epilepsies (odds ratio [OR]: 1.3; 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.1-1.6), status epilepticus (OR: 5.4; 95 % CI: 1.5-19.9), and abnormal general movements (OR: 3.4; 95 % CI: 1.9-7.6) were associated with severe outcomes.
    Conclusions: At present, hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy remains the most frequent aetiology of NS. The prognosis of neonatal-onset epilepsies was worse than that of acute provoked NS, and status epilepticus was the most predictive factor for adverse outcomes.

    Abstract The treatment of breast cancer (BC) diagnosed during pregnancy is a challenging situation for the patient, family and healthcare providers. Here we describe the case of a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with a triple-negative breast cancer relapse during pregnancy. She previously underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy without any response, subsequent left skin sparing mastectomy plus axillary node dissection and radiation therapy to the chest wall and supraclavicular lymph nodes. Two years later, during her first single pregnancy, the patient presented a subclavian vein thrombosis and a BC relapse to locoregional lymph nodes. At 24 weeks of gestation, a first line treatment with weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin was started. Considering the disease progression after two complete cycles of chemotherapy, the patient had an elective caesarean section at 32+6 weeks. A full-body CT-scan and a PET-scan after the delivery showed a massive neoplastic thrombosis involving the left jugular, brachiocephalic and internal mammary vein, as well the superior vena cava and the right atrium. Few data are available on platinum-based chemotherapy during pregnancy in BC patients. Nevertheless, the choice of therapy was conditioned by the previous absence of response to anthracycline and taxane. In case of BC diagnosis during pregnancy, a multidisciplinary management as in the case described is recommended to increase the chance of survival both for the patients and their babies.

    Abstract Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the standard of care for newborns with moderate to severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Discomfort and pain during treatment are common and may affect the therapeutic efficacy of TH. Opioid sedation and analgesia (SA) are generally used in clinical practice, and fentanyl is one of the most frequently administered drugs. However, although fentanyl's pharmacokinetics (PKs) may be altered by hypothermic treatment, the PK behavior of this opioid drug in cooled newborns with HIE has been poorly investigated. The aim of this phase 1 study protocol (Trial ID: FentanylTH; EUDRACT number: 2020-000836-23) is to evaluate the fentanyl time-concentration profiles of full-term newborns with HIE who have been treated with TH. Newborns undergoing TH receive a standard fentanyl regimen (2 mcg/Kg of fentanyl as a loading dose, followed by a continuous infusion-1 mcg/kg/h-during the 72 h of TH and subsequent rewarming). Fentanyl plasma concentrations before bolus administration, at the end of the loading dose, and 24-48-72-96 h after infusion are measured. The median, maximum, and minimum plasma concentrations, together with drug clearance, are determined. This study will explore the fentanyl time-concentration profiles of cooled, full-term newborns with HIE, thereby helping to optimize the fentanyl SA dosing regimen during TH.

    Abstract Background: Improvements in perinatal care have substantially decreased mortality rates among preterm infants, yet their neurodevelopmental outcomes and quality of life persist as a pertinent public health concern. Family-centered care has emerged as a holistic philosophy that promotes effective alliances among patients, families, and healthcare providers to improve the quality of care.
    Aims: This longitudinal prospective study aims to evaluate the neurodevelopmental outcomes and brain MRI findings in a cohort of preterm newborns admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) adopting a family-centered care model.
    Methods: Very low birth weight (VLBW) infants admitted to the NICU of Modena between 2015 and 2020 were enrolled. Infants who underwent conventional brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at term-equivalent age were included. Neurodevelopmental follow-up was performed until the age of 24 months by a multidisciplinary team using the Amiel-Tison neurological assessment and the Griffiths Mental Developmental Scales (GMDS-R). Neurodevelopmental outcomes were classified as major sequelae (cerebral palsy, DQ ≤ 70, severe sensory impairment), minor sequelae (minor neurological signs such as clumsiness or DQ between 71 and 85), and normal outcomes (no neurological signs and DQ > 85). Risk factors for severe outcomes were assessed.
    Results: In total, 49 of the 356 infants (13.8%) died before hospital discharge, and 2 were excluded because of congenital disorders. Of the remaining 305 infants, 222 (72.8%) completed the 24 month follow-up and were included in the study. Neurodevelopmental outcomes were classified as normal (
    Conclusions: We reported low rates of severe neurodevelopmental outcomes in VLBW infants born in an Italian NICU with FCC. Identifying the risk factors for severe outcomes can assist in tailoring and optimizing early interventions on an individual basis, both within the NICU and after discharge.

    Abstract Background: Prolonged mechanical ventilation in preterm infants may cause complications. We aimed to analyze the variables affecting extubation outcomes in preterm infants at high risk of extubation failure.
    Methods: This was a single-center, observational, retrospective study. Extubation failure was defined as survival with the need for reintubation within 72 h. Successfully extubated neonates (group 1) were compared to those with failed extubation (group 2). Multivariate logistic regression analysis evaluated factors that predicted extubation outcomes.
    Results: Eighty infants with a birth weight under 1000 g and/or gestational age (GA) under 28 weeks were included. Extubation failure occurred in 29 (36.2%) and success in 51 (63.8%) neonates. Most failures (75.9%) occurred within 24 h. Pre-extubation inspired oxygen fraction (FiO
    Conclusions: High GA and PROM were associated with extubation success. Pre- and post-extubation FiO
