Doctors will typically classify malformations based on where the rectum (the lower part of the intestine) ends within the abdomen, and if there is a fistula – an abnormal channel that develops between organs that can cause stool to pass through or into parts of the abdomen. Typically, lower malformation types can be repaired with one surgery, and children can be expected to recover good bowel control. Children with higher types require more procedures, such as a colostomy at first, with reconstruction at 3 to 6 months, and will typically have more challenges gaining bowel control....

Often Unreported A Gray Matter Abnormality Predicts Neurodevelopmental Problems In Smaller Premature Babies

Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain is increasingly used to predict neurodevelopmental outcomes in premature infants, but the existing systems of analyzing or “scoring” those MRIs rely heavily on expert opinion. A new study led by clinician-researchers at Nationwide Children’s Hospital has explored a more objective system for scoring MRIs – and in the process found that an often unreported abnormality of the brain’s gray matter can indicate future impairment. The abnormality, called moderate-to-severe gyral maturational delay, emerged as the only significant predictor of overall neurodevelopmental impairment in the study group of premature infants with extremely low birth weights....
