Primary Mitochondrial Disorders in the Neonate
Primary mitochondrial disorders (PMDs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by functional or structural abnormalities in the mitochondria that lead to a disturbance of cellular energy, reactive oxygen species, and free radical production, as well as impairment of other intracellular metabolic functions, causing single- or multiorgan dysfunction. PMDs are caused by pathogenic variants in nuclear and mitochondrial genes, resulting in distinct modes of inheritance. Onset of disease is variable and can occur in the neonatal period, with a high morbidity and mortality. In this article, we review the most common ...

Evaluating Genetic Disorders in the Neonate: The Role of Exome Sequencing in the NICU
With recent advances in the technologies used for genetic diagnosis as well as our understanding of the genetic basis of disease, a growing list of options is available for providers when caring for a newborn with features suggesting an underlying genetic etiology. The choice of the most appropriate genetic test for a specific situation includes clinical considerations such as the phenotypic features and type of genetic abnormality suspected, as well as practical considerations such as cost and turnaround time. In this review, we discuss clinical exome sequencing in the context of genetic evaluation of newborns, including ...

Ventilator Management in Extremely Preterm Infants
Advances in ventilation strategies for infants in the NICU have led to increased survival of extremely preterm infants. More than 75% of infants born at less than or equal to 27 weeks ’ gestation require initial mechanical ventilation for survival due to developmental immaturity of their lungs and respiratory drive. Various ventilators using different technologies and involving multiple management strategies are available for use in this population. Centers across the world hav e successfully used conventional, high-frequency oscillatory and high-frequency jet ventilation to manage respiratory failure in extremely preter...
