Background: Chlorhexidine cleansing of the cord can reduce neonatal mortality among newborns.
Objective: The aim of study was to determine the effect of cord cleansing with chlorhexidine in reduction of umbilical infection among newborns in hospital settings.
Methodology: This randomized controlled trial was carried out between April 2013 to...
p> Background: The umbilical cord is an important site for bacterial colonization. A possible consequence of bacterial colonization is cord stump infection, a factor that can greatly increase morbidity and mortality for infants in developing countries. Chlorhexidine cleansing of the cord can reduce neonatal mortality among newborns infants in low-r...
p> Background: Transient hypoglycemia in the early neonatal period is a common adaptive phenomenon as the newborn changes from the fetal state of continuous transplacental glucose consumption to intermittent nutrient supply following cessation of maternal nutrition at birth. This adaptation is well established in term appropriate for gestational ag...
p> Background: Blood sugar may be raised as a systemic effect of steroid. Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) estimation provides an accurate index of mean concentration of blood glucose during preceding two to three months.
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to observe the relationship between oral prednisolone and HbA1c levels in children with...
p>Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1(CPT-1) catalyzes the formation of acylcarnitine, which is the first step in the oxidation of long chain fatty acid in the mitochondria. CPT-1 deficiency is an inborn error of metabolism. Reported patient with CPT -1 deficiency was a 16 months old boy present with hypoketotic hypoglycaemia, hepatomegaly with raised...
p> Background : Fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes (FCPD) is a unique form of diabetes secondary to nonalcoholic, chronic, calcific, pancreatitis seen in tropical, developing countries of the world.
Objective : The purpose of the present study was to determine the clinical features & the glycemic status of the children and adolescents with FCPD. M...
Background: Blood sugar may be raised as a systemic effect of steroid. Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) estimation provides an accurate index of mean concentration of blood glucose during preceding two to three months. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to observe the relationship between oral prednisolone and HbA1c levels in children with 1 st...
Cord separation time has evolved as an important justification for recommending against the topical use of chlorhexidine on the cord. Objective: This present study was undertaken to determine the impact of cord cleansing with chlorhexidine on cord separation time and maternal acceptance of chlorhexidine in umbilical cord care. Methods: Between Apri...
Background: Thalassaemia is a congenital hemolytic disease caused by defective globin chain synthesis of haemoglobin and largely treated by repeated blood transfusions. Transfusion-transmitted infections still make a great challenge in the management of patients with thalassaemia major. The most important worldwide transfusion transmitted infection...
Childhood hypertension (HTN) is important cause of morbidity and mortality. Most of the cases of childhood HTN are secondary to an underlying disorder. In this case report a ten & half yr old boy presented with neck pain associated with headache. Both of his parents are hypertensive. Most of the time he spent at home playing games in computer and w...
Background: Pleural effusion occurs in many reasons. Laboratory tests are necessary to find out the causes. Objective: This study was an attempt to know the laboratory findings of pleural effusion. Methodology: This cross-sectional study of thirty (30) admitted cases with pleural effusion confirmed by chest radiography and aspiration of pleural flu...
Background: Body temperature is a measure of the body's ability to generate and get rid of heat. For recording of body temperature several different types of thermometers are available, such as mercury thermometers, digital thermometer, liquid crystal forehead thermometer, and infrared tympanic thermometer are used. The accuracy of the device is to...
Background: Viral hepatitis is a major public health problem both in developing and developed countries. Hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) viruses can cause important morbidity and mortality and are major causes of acute and chronic liver diseases worldwide and often leads to cirrhosis or primary hepatocellular carcinoma. The prevalence of infection va...
Background and study aim: Torticollis is the postural deformity of head and neck. Congenital Muscular Torticollis (CMT) is a postural deformity of head and neck detected at birth or shortly after birth, primarily resulting from unilateral shortening of Sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), In neonates and infants, patient may cure conservatively by phy...
