Abstract

This article from Livingetc magazine showcases a Milan apartment that has been renovated to create a vibrant and functional space for a young family. The apartment, located in the Isola district, blends historical charm with a modern aesthetic. The renovation, led by designer Monica Merra, involved opening up doorways to create better flow between rooms and making subtle changes to improve functionality. The apartment features a mix of iconic furniture pieces and custom designs, all set against a backdrop of pastel tones. The renovation also included updates to the bathrooms and the addition of clever storage solutions. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Background For patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy, a therapeutic option is ketogenic diet. Currently, data on young infants are scarce, particularly during hospitalization in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate the short-term (3-month) efficacy and side effects of ketogenic diet in infants with "drugs-resistant" epilepsy treated during NICU stay. Methods This retrospective study included infants aged under 2 months started on ketogenic diet during NICU hospitalization to treat drug-resistant epilepsy from April 2018 to November 2022. Results Thirteen term-born infants were included, three (23.1%) of whom were excluded because they did not respond to the ketogenic diet. Finally, we included 10 infants. Six (60%) patients took three antiepileptics before starting the ketogenic diet, while four (40%) took more drugs. Diet had a good response in four (40%) patients. In four patients, the ketogenic diet was suspended because of the onset of serious side effects. The emetic levels of sodium, potassium, and chlorine, pH, and onset of diarrhea, constipation, and gastroesophageal reflux showed significant differences. Ketonuria was higher and blood pH lower in the group that took more than three drugs than in the group taking fewer than three drugs. Conclusion The ketogenic diet is efficacious and safe in infants, but the early and aggressive management of adverse reactions is important to improve the safety and effectiveness of the ketogenic treatment.

Abstract

Aim: To report on psychomotor development and outcomes in term born neonates with non‐epileptic paroxysmal events (NEPEs). Method: From October 2017 to March 2019 we enrolled 38 consecutive term born neonates (22 males, 16 females; aged between 0–28d), born at the University Hospital San Marco in Catania, Italy, with NEPEs. We performed the Hammersmith Neonatal Neurological Examination scale (at enrolment), the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) scale (at age 3, 6, 9, and 12mo), and the Griffiths scale (at age 12mo). Results: The age at onset of first paroxysmal manifestations ranged from birth to 4 days. We recorded a suboptimal global score in 18 out of 38 patients at enrolment and in 10 out of 38 patients at age 3 months (>70% of these infants were male); all events disappeared within 6 months of life. At age 6, 9, and 12 months, all infants scored within normal values on the HINE and Griffiths scale. Interpretation: Patients with NEPEs achieve neurodevelopment optimal scores within their first year of life. What this paper adds: Neonates experiencing non‐epileptic paroxysmal events (NEPEs) can be examined with the Hammersmith Neonatal Neurological Examination, Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination, and Griffiths scale at follow‐up.Newborn infants with NEPEs achieve optimal scores within the first year of life.

17. Early fatal course in three brothers with FG syndrome

Abstract

FG syndrome may cause early death from respiratory disease. FG syndrome is a rare genetic disorder linked to the X chromosome that involves mental retardation, poor muscle tone, and a distinctive facial appearance. Diagnosis depends on symptoms, appearance, and history; it cannot be diagnosed with laboratory tests. This can be difficult because the symptoms are not unique. Three brothers with FG syndrome symptoms born in one family died of respiratory illnesses before one year of age. The parents were first cousins. FG syndrome should be considered in mentally retarded males with poor muscle tone and systemic symptoms.

26. Another “new” form, the Palagonia type of acrofacial dysostosis in Sicilian family

Author

Sorge, Giovanni, Pavone, Lorenzo, Polizzi, Agata, Mauceri, Laura, Leonardi, Rosalia Maria, Tripi, Teresa, and Opitz, John M.

Abstract

We describe another previously apparently unreported form of acrofacial dysostosis (AFD) from Sicily, residing, coincidentally in the same small village as that with the recently delineated Catania AFD. In contradistinction to the latter, the 4 patients with the Palagonia form of AFD are of normal intelligence, and instead of extensive caries have oligodontia (4), short stature (3), frizzy hair (pili torti) with aplasia cutis verticis (1), mild cutaneous syndactyly of digite 2–5 (4), attenuation of the 4th metacarpals (3/3), unilaterally cleft lip (1), and some vertebral anomalies such as a large atlas (1), mild scoliosis (1), small odontoid process, spina bifida occulta at S1 (1). Causally, this would appear to be an iceberg dominant disorder, with the proposita most severely affected. This could be an X-linked dominant, but more likely an autosomal dominant trait. Am. J. Med.

Abstract

In the last three decades, the constantly increasing need for therapies, efficiently preventing and/or treating human diseases, has raised the interest in Regenerative Medicine (RM). RM is based on employing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), that showed to have great proliferation, self-renewal and multilineage differentiation potential, in vitro as well as in vivo. The opportunity of an accessible, painless and low-cost reservoir of MSCs constitutes the first important step of a successful regenerative therapy to include in the current clinical practice. Oral cavity has recently demonstrated to contain different MSCs niches: dental pulp from permanent and deciduous teeth, periodontal ligament, dental follicle, apical papilla and mucosa. MSCs from dental pulp of deciduous teeth, naturally lost in pediatric age, and the oral mucosa have shown to be easily harvested and to have a promising regenerative potential. Thus, the aim of the paper is to review the potentialities of human exfoliated deciduous teeth stem cells (SHEDs) and oral mucosa stem cells (OMSCs) in RM, with the purpose of their use as accessible source of MSCs for the future of pediatric patient.
