Review Case ReportsPyogenic granuloma presenting as a congenital epulis.
To describe a clinical approach to the differential diagnosis of oral lesions in neonates. ⋯ Primary care pediatricians encounter neonatal oral lesions infrequently. The most common oral lesions in the newborn period are Epstein pearls and Bohn nodules. This case illustrates the importance of formulating a more extensive differential diagnosis on discovery of a neonatal oral mass.

Comparative Study Clinical TrialCombined analgesia and local anesthesia to minimize pain during circumcision.
Pain of circumcision is only partially relieved by single modalities, such as penile nerve block, lidocaine-prilocaine cream, and sucrose pacifiers. ⋯ Infants circumcised with the Mogen clamp and combined analgesia have substantially less pain than those circumcised with the Gomco clamp and lidocaine-prilocaine cream. Because of the immense pain during circumcision, combined local anesthesia and analgesia using the Mogen clamp should be considered.

Comparative StudyAntioxidant capacity and oxygen radical diseases in the preterm newborn.
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, and retinopathy of prematurity may be different manifestations of oxygen radical diseases of prematurity (ORDP). ⋯ Cord serum antioxidant capacity correlates with gestational age but does not predict ORDP risk.
