Vitamin C ranks among the basic antioxidants and is participles in the production of collagen and in other metabolic processes in the body. Humans are not able to synthesize it and they have to take it from food and or pharmacologic sources. The physiologic demands vary with age (40–50 mg/day in infants, 80–100 mg/day in teenagers and adults). The demands are higher in inflammatory states, wound healing, anaemia, in infancy, active and passive smoking and in others conditions. In industrial countries up to 50 % of vitamin C demands are saturated in form of medicaments.

The ultimate neurological outcome following severe head trauma depends on the extent of primary brain injury sustained at the time of the trauma itself, and on the extent of secondary brain injury resulting from hemodynamic, biochemical and metabolic changes in consequence of primary insult. Secondary brain injury can be prevented by neurocritical care management. This must be initiated as soon as possible, ideally at prehospital setting. Adequate ventilation, oxygenation and hemodynamic stabilization are the prerequisites to successful therapy of the severe traumatic brain injury.

Pediatricians in the community nowadays need more often to help effectively to families of infants with very low birth weights. Some more or less specific diseases may be involved in later development of these premature infants. The most frequent manifestations of that kind are bronchopulmonary dysplasia, apnea, anemia, gastrooezophageal reflux, constipation, persistent ductus arteriosus, inguinal hernias, failure to thrive and/or growth failure, cerebral palsy, retinopathy of prematurity and some other sensorial disturbances. The knowledge of these long-term consequences of prematurity enables to anticipate them and leads to early diagnosis.
