Influence of maternal employment on neonatal prematurity and/or low birth weight
2008
Objetivo: Realizar una revisión de los estudios epidemiológicos sobre la influencia de la situación laboral y el tipo de ocupación materna en el nacimiento de niños con bajo peso y pretérmino. Material y métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en las bases de datos Medline y EMBASE. Los artículos seleccionados se clasificaron siguiendo un protocolo que recogía las características de los estudios, la situación laboral materna, el tipo de ocupación y el resultado del embarazo. Resultados: Se incluyeron 21 artículos en los que mayoritariamente no se observan diferencias significativas entre las amas de casa y las empleadas en ninguno de los 2 efectos. En las investigaciones en las que s…
Non-immune hydrops fetalis: Two case reports
2021
BACKGROUND Fetal hydrops is a serious condition difficult to manage, often with a poor prognosis, and it is characterized by the collection of fluid in the extravascular compartments. Before 1968, the most frequent cause was the maternal-fetal Rh incompatibility. Today, 90% of the cases are non-immune hydrops fetalis. Multiple fetal anatomic and functional disorders can cause non-immune hydrops fetalis and the pathogenesis is incompletely understood. Etiology varies from viral infections to heart disease, chromosomal abnormalities, hematological and autoimmune causes. CASE SUMMARY A 38-year-old pregnant woman has neck lymphoadenomegaly, fever, cough, tonsillar plaques at 14 wk of amenorrhea…
Atypical perceptual narrowing in prematurely born infants is associated with compromised language acquisition at 2 years of age
2010
Abstract Background Early auditory experiences are a prerequisite for speech and language acquisition. In healthy children, phoneme discrimination abilities improve for native and degrade for unfamiliar, socially irrelevant phoneme contrasts between 6 and 12 months of age as the brain tunes itself to, and specializes in the native spoken language. This process is known as perceptual narrowing, and has been found to predict normal native language acquisition. Prematurely born infants are known to be at an elevated risk for later language problems, but it remains unclear whether these problems relate to early perceptual narrowing. To address this question, we investigated early neurophysiolog…
Very preterm birth: who has access to antenatal corticosteroid therapy?
2010
International audience; We describe the administration of antenatal corticosteroid therapy (ACT) for liveborn very preterm neonates in a population-based study. A total of 790 very preterm neonates (between 24 and 31 full weeks of gestation) were included in this regionally defined population of very preterm neonates in France. The main outcome measure was non-access to ACT. Data were analysed using logistic and polytomous models to control for neonatal and sociodemographic characteristics, mechanisms of very preterm birth and neonatal network organisation. As compared with level III, births in levels I-II maternity units were closely related to non-access to ACT (60.1% vs. 8.8%), but not t…

Influence of the Urban Exposome on Birth Weight
2019
Background: The exposome is defined as the totality of environmental exposures from conception onwards. It calls for providing a holistic view of environmental exposures and their effects on human health by evaluating multiple environmental exposures simultaneously during critical periods of life. Objective: We evaluated the association of the urban exposome with birth weight. Methods: We estimated exposure to the urban exposome, including the built environment, air pollution, road traffic noise, meteorology, natural space, and road traffic (corresponding to 24 environmental indicators and 60 exposures) for nearly 32,000 pregnant women from six European birth cohorts. To evaluate associatio…
Internal Hernia Masquerading As Necrotizing Enterocolitis
2017
In extremely preterm infants, acute abdominal emergencies are fortunately less common with improving care. Spontaneous intestinal perforation and necrotizing enterocolitis are conditions where emergency surgery is most often needed. Conservative medical management and placement of temporary drain are often used in the initial management. Internal hernia (IH) is an uncommon cause of bowel obstruction in neonates, is difficult to diagnose and unfortunately are found only at autopsy. The presentation in preterm infants, distinction between these conditions, and the need for early diagnosis of IH are discussed.
La tutela dei creditori personali del legittimario leso o pretermesso
2019
Nelle prassi successorie non è infrequente il ricorso alla frode per via testamentaria, rivolta a colpire i creditori personali del legittimario leso o pretermesso, i quali non godono nel nostro codice civile di un’apposita tutela ad essi esplicitamente rivolta. L'Autore si interroga sulla possibilità di reperire comunque nelle pieghe dell’ordinamento rimedi a tal fine utilizzabili, giungendo infine ad una proposta di riformulazione dell'art. 524 c.c. SOMMARIO: 1. Il problema. – 2. La giurisprudenza. – 3. La dottrina. – 4. Considerazioni di metodo. – 5. Un’ipotesi ricostruttiva. – 6. Proposte de iure condendo.

LA TUTELA DEI CREDITORI PERSONALI DEL LEGITTIMARIO LESO O PRETERMESSO
2021
Il nostro ordinamento, a tutela di determinati vincoli familiari, segna un limite alla libertà di testare al fine di contrastare un possibile abuso della libertà testamentaria, che potrebbe anche concretarsi in un intento fraudatorio del testatore, d’accordo con lo stesso legittimario leso o pretermesso, ai danni dei creditori personali di quest’ultimo. Il tema si colloca al confine tra successione ereditaria e tutela dei creditori, con particolare riguardo all’esperibilità dell’azione surrogatoria e all’impugnabilità dell’eventuale rinunzia del legittimario all’azione di riduzione: da un lato, infatti, v’è l’interesse del testatore a tutelare il patrimonio ereditario dalle probabili aggres…
