‘Imprinting the Future’ We have learnt from the last two decades that the period covering conception, pregnancy and early infancy is unique in life, as a number of stimuli, not only insults or diseases, have long lasting effects and shape the whole life of an individual. Health and disease, but also less explored issues such as behavior or senescence are involved in developmental ‘programming’. Early exposure to imbalanced nutrition and lifestyle, stress, or toxic chemicals, starting as soon as in the pre- periconceptional periods, can act silently with effects revealed only at (late) adulthood. In this framework, epigenetic, transgenerational mechanisms…

Over the last few years neonatologists involved in neonatal neurology have focused their attention mainly on white matter disease of prematurity. Germinal matrix intra-ventricular haemorrhage (GMH-IVH) has not been extensively studied yet, although different ways of treating its complications are provided, varying from one neonatal centre to another. A sensitive reduction of its incidence has been obtained compared to a couple of decades ago but a very likely increase is about to occur due to the increased survivability of babies at lowest gestational ages, who are also the babies with highest risk of developing GMH-IVH. The meeting pits together the…

Rubella is a self-limited febrile rash illness with few complications. Although rubella itself is a disease often causing only mild illness to those infected, a significant disease burden is associated with rubella virus infection during the first trimester of pregnancy. Known as congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) the disease manifests itself as a host of syndromes affecting babies born to mothers who were infected with rubella during pregnancy. The earlier the mother is infected during pregnancy the worse the damage is to the child.

The vocational training of enough midwives is time-consuming and costly and it might be easier to form the traditional birth attendants in courses and provide the ones who have successfully followed the course, with a small bag with basic necessities.

It has been proven that during these check-ups various complications related to pregnancy can be detected and treated early on.
