Preterm neonates remain at increased risk for adverse bilirubin-related outcomes, including acute bilirubin encephalopathy relative to term infants. Yet, most vulnerable neonates are likely to benefit from the potent anti-oxidant properties of bilirubin. Evidence-based guidelines for the management of hyperbilirubinemia in preterm infants, however, are lacking. High concentrations of unconjugated bilirubin can cause permanent neurologic damage in infants, evident through magnetic resonance imaging of chronic bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus. There is a growing concern that exposures to even moderate concentrations of bilirubin may lead to subtle but permanent neurodevelopmental impairment referred to as bilirubin-induced neurologic dysfunction. Our current use of phototherapy to decrease bilirubin loads and its potential photo-oxidant properties is a biological conundrum that has been questioned in the use of phototherapy for very low birth weight neonates. In this issue of Clinics in Perinatology, we provide updates on the current understanding of the biology, mechanisms of increasing bilirubin load due to hemolysis, decreased bilirubin binding capacity and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, as well as clinical strategies to operationalize the thresholds for hyperbilirubinemia interventions in preterm infants.

La surveillance du travail est un moment crucial pour la mère et l’enfant, situé au cœur de la pratique quotidienne des obstétriciens et des sages-femmes. Sa prise en charge, toujours particulière et souvent stressante, ne fait cependant pas toujours l'objet d'un consensus général en relevant alors de pratiques individuelles, parfois sources de iatrogénie avec risque d’augmentation de naissances opératoires. Cet ouvrage résolument pratique, rédigé par les meilleurs spécialistes, vous guide dans votre diagnostic, vous offre toutes les clés nécessaires à la définition d'une stratégie lors de la surveillance du travail, et vous aide dans vos prises de décision thérapeutique. Les premiers chapitres détaillent la chronologie des événements : admission en salle de naissance, surveillance des contractions, du rythme cardiaque fœtal, du partogramme, place de l’échographie, surveillance par STAN, etc. Les cas plus spécifiques, tels la présentation par le siège, les grossesses multiples, l’obésité et l’utérus cicatriciel, font l'objet de chapitres dédiés. Enfin, les auteurs abordent deux points plus spécifiques : les répercussions sur le fœtus et le RCF des thérapeutiques prescrites pendant le travail, et l’interprétation des mesures de pH et de lactates à la naissance.

The impact of cardiovascular disease on an infant extends from the fetal period to well beyond childhood. Perinatalogists and neonatologists can impact maternal and fetal health through wide range of diagnostic modalities and interventional techniques. For our edition focused on cardiovascular health, we sought to encompass the breadth of knowledge that would be the most relevant for the bed side clinician. Our goal was to assemble contents that would allow a clinician to quickly peruse the journal, and then be prepared to make a medical decision. The interaction between cardiology and perinatology/neonatology includes genetics, diagnostics, interventions, counseling, routine stabilization and day to day care. Ultimately, the goal is to establish the foundation for a healthy adult. For this reason, we have even included chapters on topics that are significant on a day to day basis (such as the proper environment for a newborn) and a long term basis (like the overall neurodevelopmental impact of our interventions). Hopefully, whether in the middle of the night as an emergency reference or during the day as a reliable guide, this edition of Clinics in perinatology will be an important bedside tool for anyone that participates in the care of a patient with perinatal heart disease.

L'ouvrage fait le point sur l'ensemble des infections néonatales. Les progrès diagnostiques et thérapeutiques au cours des deux dernières décennies permettent une meilleure connaissance et prise en charge de ces pathologies dans les pays industriels et dans les pays en développement. Ces progrès concernent les infections bactériennes mais aussi les infections mycosiques, parasitaires et virales, tant dans leurs formes primitives – materno-foetales et tardives – que nosocomiales. Ce livre comporte six parties qui se proposent : • d'aborder les aspects physiopathologiques et épidémiologiques ; • d'exposer les bases immunitaires et pharmacologiques ; • de présenter les particularités et les conséquences des infections au cours de la grossesse ; • de détailler la prise en charge des infections en fonction des localisations – dont les méningites – et des agents microbiens : bactéries, champignons, parasites et virus ; • d'appliquer ces démarches diagnostiques et thérapeutiques aux pays en voie de développement ; • de détailler les posologies des agents anti-infectieux habituels et de ceux plus rarement utilisés, ainsi que les problématiques vaccinales et le traitement symptomatique des principales complications des infections sévères. Cet ouvrage s'adresse en priorité aux pédiatres en formation, à ceux exerçant en maternité et dans les services de néonatologie et de pédiatrie, ainsi qu'à tous les professionnels de santé, soignants et biologistes dont les activités sont dans le champ de la médecine périnatale.

Genetic testing and genome sequencing have opened up the possibility to clinicians and families to treat diseases, syndromes, and malformations earlier and provide therapeutic interventions.The guest editors seek to provide a basic overview of the topic for the neonatologist/perinatologist. Articles addres dysmorphology, syndromes in the infant, skeletal dysplasias, limb malformations, craniofacial anomolies, GI/liver disease, disorders of sexual develoment, brain defects, inborn errors of metabolism, and congenital heart disease.

Kidney anomalies are the most frequent abnormality detected on prenatal ultrasound. Some are inconsequential and others are life-threatening. All must be addressed by neonatologists. This edition of Pediatric Clinics of Perinatology covers these anomalies. In addition, it addresses a variety of other nephrology and urology issues that neonatologists confront. Some are rare and the chapter may then serve as an important resource. Others are common, and thus will provide updated information on diagnosis and management.

This issue of Clinics in Perinatology will carry the reader through the perinatal period and examine pain management throughout that continuum. Beginning with the genetics of obstetrical pain and opioid use in pregnancy, the discussion moves to the provision of anesthesia to the mother and fetus during fetal surgery – an area of intense concern and interest in many centers. There is an extensive discussion of both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic management of pain during delivery. A discussion of regional anesthetic techniques is increasingly relevant in light of increasing evidence of adverse neurodevelopmental consequences of fetal exposure to general anesthetics and sedatives. Pain, its implications and management, are extensively covered including discussions of how to assess neonatal pain and how best to provide sedation and non-pharmacologic pain management, systemic pharmacologic, or regional techniques. Of particular interest are the reviews of the potential neurodevelopmental impact of both the treatment and the failure to adequately treat pain in the newborn. This topic is receiving an enormous amount of attention from all those who care for children as well as government and the media.
