Vaginal colonization with Ureaplasma (U.) spp. has been shown to be associated with adverse pregnancy outcome; however, data on neonatal outcome are scarce. The aim of the study was to investigate whether maternal vaginal colonization with U. spp. in early pregnancy represents a risk factor for adverse short- or long-term outcome of preterm infants. Previously, 4330 pregnant women were enrolled in an observational multicenter study, analyzing the association between vaginal U. spp. colonization and spontaneous preterm birth. U. spp. colonization was diagnosed via PCR analysis from vaginal swabs. For this study, data on short-term outcome were collected from medical records and long-term outcome was examined via Bayley Scales of Infant Development at 24 months adjusted age. Two-hundred-and-thirty-eight children were born <33 weeks gestational age. After exclusion due to asphyxia, malformations, and lost-to-follow-up, data on short-term and long-term outcome were available from 222 and 92 infants, respectively. Results show a significant association between vaginal U. spp. colonization and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (10.4% vs. 2.6%, p = 0.03), retinopathy of prematurity (21.7% vs. 10.3%, p = 0.03), and adverse psychomotor outcome (24.3% vs. 1.8%, OR 13.154, 95%CI 1.6,110.2, p = 0.005). The data suggest an association between vaginal U. spp. colonization in early pregnancy and adverse short- and long-term outcome of very preterm infants.

Breastfeeding has clear short-term benefits for the baby1. Additionally, based on a prospective long-term cohort study from Brazil, breastfeeding is associated with improved IQ scores and increased educational attainment 30 years later2. During lactation, mother-to-infant transmission of viral infections like HIV, hepatitis B (HBV), and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), may occur. The article presented here will focus on the dynamics of HCMV shedding into breastmilk, describe the short- and long-term risks of HCMV infection of small preterm infants, and options for prevention.

The objective of our study is to determine the predictive value of QEEG in patients suffering from an acute ischemic cerebral stroke. Twenty-eight patients were studied within the first 72 hours of clinical evolution of middle cerebral artery territory ischemic stroke. Thirty-seven QEEG recordings were obtained: 13 in the first 24 hours after cerebral stroke onset, 9 between 24–48 hours and 15 between 48–72 hours. Absolute Energies (AE) were the QEEG selected variables for statistical analysis: first, AE Z values were calculated using the Cuban QEEG norms, then the maximum and minimum AE Z values were selected within each frequency band and total power. The medians of the five neighboring Z values were also chosen. Regression models were estimated using the RANKIN scores as dependent variables and the selected QEEG variables as independent, then outcome predictions at hospital discharge and 3 months later were calculated. Percentages of concordance and errors between the estimated and real outcome scores were obtained. Alpha and theta AE were the best predictor for short-term outcome and delta AE for long-term outcome. We conclude that QEEG performed within the first 72 hours of ischemic stroke might be a powerful tool predicting short-and long-term outcome.

Background: Painful restriction of active and passive shoulder range of motion which cannot be attributed to any internal shoulder pathology is termed as primary frozen shoulder. It has three stages – freezing stage, frozen stage, and thawing stage. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy, intra-articular corticosteroid injection, hydrodilatation, arthroscopic capsular release, and manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) are different modalities of treatment. Aims and Objectives: The main objective of our study was to assess the short-term and long-term outcome of MUA in frozen shoulder once it did not respond to 3 months course of physiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Fifty patients of primary frozen shoulder fulfilling inclusion criteria were manipulated under general anesthesia, and intra-articular Depo-Medrol and bupivacaine were administered. Functional status of the shoulder was assessed using the adjusted Constant-Murley (CM) score preoperatively and in subsequent follow-ups. Results: There was a significant improvement of mean adjusted CM score in short- and long-term follow-ups compared to pre-manipulation value. A significant negative correlation was found between the age of the patient and the final outcome. Conclusion: MUA is an effective modality of treatment in primary frozen shoulder with good short- and long-term outcomes.

SummaryObjectives: To determine the short- and long-term outcome for sport horses after arthroscopic treatment of osteochondrosis of the lateral trochlear ridge of the femur.Methods: A retrospective study was performed using the medical records of horses intended for use as English sport horses. Outcome was obtained through telephone questionnaire.Results: Thirty-seven horses, mainly Warmbloods, underwent arthroscopic surgery for treatment of lateral femoral trochlear ridge osteochondrosis. Short-term outcome revealed that 27 of 37 horses had no complications. Seven horses had postoperative lameness and effusion which eventually resolved in four horses. Long-term outcome was available for 29 horses, of which 19 were performing to full expectations. Five horses were athletic but at a lower level than expected, and five horses were unable to be used. The depth of the lesion was significantly associated with short-term complications of effusion and lameness. The depth and length of the lesion were not associated with the long-term outcome, but involvement of structures other than the lateral trochlear ridge (patella, medial trochlear ridge) was associated with a worse prognosis.Clinical significance: The prognosis for sport horses following stifle arthroscopy for lateral trochlear ridge is similar to that reported in other studies and lesions at other sites within the stifle joint.
