Among preterm newborns, initiating resuscitation with FIO2 of 0.6 vs 0.3 did not change risk of death or major brain injury at 36 weeks’ corrected age in a multinational RCT. bit.ly/4rCO0og
JAMA study on newborn resuscitation. Population: 797 females, 672 males, 23-28 weeks gestation. Intervention: 1469 newborns randomized. Findings: FIO2 of 0.6 showed 46.9% rate of death/brain injury, FIO2 of 0.3 showed 47.8%. No significant difference in risk.

Phenomenal. In my 10 year update of A Brief History, I make the point that in the first edition, not one disease had been successfully treated using gene therapy. Today that number is at least 7.

Does A.I. support of physicians lead to their deskilling? A new report of gastroenterologists doing colonoscopy for polyp detection, with and without A.I., raises the possibility www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

8/ This study stands out because it: - Uses a sibling design to minimize confounding - Examines infections week-by-week - Leverages nationwide data and objective outcomes - Includes IQ scores derived from military conscription test Full paper: doi.org/10.1371/jour... 🧠📚

Maternal infections during pregnancy and offspring cognitive outcome: A nationwide full-sibling cohort study
Anders Husby and colleagues investigate the effect of maternal infections during pregnancy on offspring school grades and intelligence test results in adolescence.

7/ So what does this mean? ✅ No strong evidence that common maternal infections impair children's cognitive development ✅ Reassuring safety signal for antimicrobial use during pregnancy ✅ No support for the idea of “critical windows” of vulnerability to common infections during pregnancy

6/ Overview of findings by exposure period during pregnancy (commons infections here identified by beta-lactam prescriptions)

Anders Husby @a-husby.bsky.social · 07/08/2025
5/ Overview of findings by exposure type (number of antimicrobial prescriptions, type of antimicrobial prescribed, and hospitalization for infectious disease)
100
Anders Husby @a-husby.bsky.social · 07/08/2025
4/ The findings? In short: No consistent evidence of harm. 🧪 Filled prescriptions for antimicrobials (29.5% of pregnancies): → No impact on school grades in language or mathematics → No drop in adolescent IQ
100
Anders Husby @a-husby.bsky.social · 07/08/2025
3/ We used two markers of infection: - Antibiotic prescriptions during pregnancy - Hospitalizations for infections Furthermore; we looked week-by-week across pregnancy to see if specific “sensitive periods” mattered (modelled both as categorical bi-weekly periods + natural cubic splines (in days))
100
Anders Husby @a-husby.bsky.social · 07/08/2025
2/ To answer this, we used a nationwide full-sibling cohort from Denmark: ➤ 274,166 children ➤ Born 1996–2003 ➤ Linked to maternal infection data (antibiotic prescriptions or hospitalizations) ➤ Tracked school grades and IQ in adolescence Sibling comparisons = control for family factors ✅

1/ Infections during pregnancy are common, and inflammation during critical fetal periods has long been suspected to affect brain development. But do everyday maternal infections (e.g. like those treated with common antibiotics) influence how children perform cognitively long-term?

🧵 New paper out in PLoS Medicine ( doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1004657 ): Are common infections during pregnancy harmful to a child’s long-term cognitive outcomes? We looked at over 250,000 full-siblings to find out. Thread with explanation blow 👇
