“…In the 21st century, pediatrics is transforming, and pediatric pathology will help discover new diseases and identify responses to treatments in infants and children. 98 The autopsy has significant potential and is an important technique to discover the unknown and confirm or refute clinical suspicions. Here, we should recall the Latin motto "Hic locus est ubi mors gaudet succurrere vitae," which is commonly translated as: "This is the place where death delights in helping life."…”

Introduction Stillbirth is a dramatic event for the parents, health care team, and anyone close to the expectant parents. Multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings are essential to improve communication in health care. We review the most frequent findings discussed at MDT meetings. Methods A PubMed search was conducted through December 2021 since the inception (1965) using clinical queries with the key terms "stillbirth" AND "investigation" AND "pathology" AND "human." The search strategy included reviews, metaanalyses, randomized controlled trials, clinical trials, and observational studies. This systematic review is based on, but not limited to, the search results. It is the experience of more than 30 years of pediatrics, obstetrics, and pathology staff. Results Two hundred and six articles were screened and complemented through the perusal of congressional activities and personal communications. Pathological findings following perinatal death can be divided into macroscopic, histologic, and placental findings. The placenta is crucial in fetal medicine and is key in determining the cause of stillbirth in a substantial number of events. Perinatal lung disease is essential to evaluate the response of newborns to extrauterine life and address newborns' outcomes appropriately. Conclusions Stillbirth remains one of the less explored areas of medicine, and we can determine the cause in a limited number of cases. Nevertheless, placental pathology is critical in the etiology discovery pathway. Accurate investigations and discussion of photography-supported findings are vital in promoting communication at MDT meetings.

“…A deep serenity enlivens the child and the angel. This feeling does not differ to the Hadrian's words imprinted in the monument (8). The world is full of insidious events and challenges for children, and pediatricians should have a role of guardian angels advocating for children's physical and mental health effectively and efficiently.…”

“…Fanconi spent hours in his laboratory and in his wards recognizing the importance of importing data from bench to bedside. This exchange of information does not need to be reduced to mere concepts of future medicine but needs to be deeply interlaced with the personalized medicine, as we consider it now (8). The journal "Translational Pediatrics" may be considered the natural evolution of Pediatrics in a Modern Pediatric Medicine.…”
