Diabetes presentation in infancy: high risk of diabetic ketoacidosis.
In this study, the largest of its kind, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was more frequent than in other early-onset U.S. studies or other cohorts of patients with neonatal diabetes. The authors argue that continuing to educate pediatric providers about the many ways that infants can present with diabetes may help to diagnose cases more efficiently and ultimately decrease the frequency of DKA at diagnosis.

The ConNECtion between abdominal signs and necrotizing enterocolitis in infants 501 to 1500 g.
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) can become severe quickly, making early recognition a priority and understanding the occurrence of abdominal and clinical signs of impending NEC important. The purpose of this study was to examine relationships of abdominal signs up to 36 hours before diagnosis of NEC within subgroups treated medically, surgically, or those who died.
