In this episode, hosts Ben and Daphna cover a range of neonatal topics, starting with a review of recent research on mpox in pregnancy and neonates. They discuss a case report of neonatal mpox infection and review current understanding of risks, transmission, and treatment options.

The hosts then examine a study on vaccine administration in preterm infants, finding that giving multiple vaccines on a single day did not increase adverse events compared to spreading them out. They also explore research on iron deficiency in extremely preterm infants, which revealed surprisingly high rates despite supplementation, especially in formula-fed babies.

Other topics covered include PICU admissions of former NICU patients in the first two years of life, and innovative approaches to reducing non-actionable alarms in intensive care units.

The episode concludes with insights from Dr. Rivara's 24 years as a medical journal editor-in-chief, touching on key aspects of research publication.

Throughout, Ben and Daphna provide expert commentary on the clinical implications of these studies, making complex research accessible to listeners while emphasizing areas needing further investigation in neonatal care.
