Impaired growth of the corpus callosum (CC) and cerebellar vermis (CV) is associated with poorer neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm infants. However, references on the postnatal growth rate of the CC and CV by sonography are limited. The aim of this study is to assess the normal linear growth of CC and CV using a serial cranial ultrasound. ⋯ We proposed reference values of the normal linear growth rate of the CC and CV lengths in very-low-birth-weight preterm infants using the serial cranial ultrasound.

Whether targeted temperature management (TTM) and emergent coronary angiography (CAG) remain associated with better outcomes in patients with prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was unknown. ⋯ In patients with prehospital ROSC, both TTM and emergent CAG were associated to improved survival and neurological outcomes.
