This week, journal club covers a wide variety of topics including:

  2. The effectiveness of NIR-CIVIMAB for RSV prevention in infants. The focus is on reducing hospitalizations due to RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infections.
  3. The impact of antenatal corticosteroid treatment during late preterm periods on neonatal outcomes, especially in twin pregnancies.
  4. A study on energy drink intake before and during pregnancy and its association with adverse pregnancy outcomes.
  5. Jennifer Canvasser's meeting with the FDA regarding probiotic use in NICUs and the implications of recent FDA warnings.
  6. Research on early and exclusive enteral nutrition in preterm infants, the time taken to reach target cooling temperature in infants with HIE, and the potential role of blood transfusions in bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
These topics are critically analyzed and discussed, providing insights into current neonatal care practices and research developments.
