Antenatal diagnosis of brain damage in the survivor after the second trimester death of a monochorionic monoamniotic co-twin: case report and literature review.

At 28 weeks of amenorrhea, 1 fetus of a monoamniotic twin pregnancy died. Ultrasound and Doppler investigations of the surviving twin were normal. Three weeks later, endovaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging revealed massive bilateral cerebral ischemic necrosis in the surviving twin. In utero fetal blood sampling carried out before the termination did not reveal either anemia or thrombopenia. Current data suggest that cerebral or renal ischemic complications could set in immediately after the death of the first twin as a result of a period of acute hypotension. At least 2 weeks are necessary for them to be identifiable by ultrasound. It seems that they cannot be prevented by prompt delivery of the second twin.

[Branhamella catarrhalis in neonatal pulmonary infectious pathology].

Bronchopulmonary infections has been described for the most part in adults. ORL and upper respiratory tract infections are encountered in children. In neonates, only conjunctivitis have been reported. In their report, the authors describes the first cases of bronchopulmonary infections due to Branhamella Catarrhalis in premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome. Three cases are described in which this bacteria has been isolated in bronchial secretions and in the culture of the nasotracheal tube. Clinical and biological features were not specific. Only orosomucoid serum level was increased. A favourable outcome was obtained by macrolides. Epidemiological survey permitted the isolation of Branhamella Catarrhalis in one of the nurse who had taken care of the neonates. Otherwise, these infections occurs in immunologically compromised hosts. Hyaline membrane disease appears most likely as an auspicious factor.

[Prevention of iatrogenic effects of artificial ventilation with transcutaneous monitoring of PO2 and PCO2 in the newborn infant].

The authors have monitored Tc PCO2, Tc PO2 and mean airway pressure in 25 ventilated newborns, during 68 days. They show that the best blood gases values are not even obtained with the most aggressive artificial ventilation (A.V.). Tc PCO2 and Tc PO2 transcutaneous monitoring and mean airway pressure measurement allow an "à la carte" adaptation of the A.V. to bring in each case the most efficient and the least aggressive A.V. This method may decrease the iatrogenic complications of the A.V.
