Home-based newborn care how effective and feasible.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Neonatal mortality in developing countries is one of the most important problems that need immediate attention in order to achieve Millennium Development Goals. About 4 million newborns die in the world every year, 90% of them in the developing world. Most of these deaths are preventable by simple interventions in the community. However, in most of the target countries, the implementation of essential newborn care has been very poor. The home based or community care packages include maternal care, essential newborn care, improving the behavior change communication of the community, resuscitation of newborn babies at th...

CONCLUSIONS: India has a non-homogenous distribution of malaria endemicity. We propose that although no change to IFA supplementation be made in non-malarious regions, routine IFA should be provided in malarious regions once malaria control and primary health care infrastructure are functioning well.

We examined for microalbuminuria in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and the effect of antiviral treatment. Group I consisted of 38 patients who were inactive HbsAg carriers; group II included 21 HBeAg positive patients with chronic HBV infection who responded to antiviral treatment at 6 months; group III consisted of 24 patients with chronic HBV infection who did not respond to treatment at the end of 6 months; and group IV consisted of healthy controls. Initial level of microalbuminuria was significantly higher in group II compared to the levels measured at 3, 6, and 9 months (P<0.001). Although, there...

This study was conducted to determine the prognostic value of some clinical, laboratory, histopathologic and therapeutic factors in 62 children with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. There were no significant differences between the factors studied, except for severe interstitial fibrosis, which was more frequent in patients with chronic kidney disease (P=0.03). The prevalence of chronic kidney disease in nonresponder groups was significantly higher (P < 0.05). We found therapy with cyclophosphamide to be promising in patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. PMID: 19736363 [PubMed - as supplied by publish...

Iron Deficiency as a Risk Factor for First Febrile Seizure.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We conducted this study to determine the role of iron eficiency as a risk factor for first febrile seizure in children. Fifty children between 6 months to 6 years with first febrile seizure (Cases) and 50 children with febrile illness but without convulsions(Controls) were enrolled from the pediatric ward of a tertiary care hospital. Iron deficiency was determined by estimation of hemoglobin, red blood cell indices and serum ferritin. The mean serum ferritin level (micrograms/L) was significantly low in Cases (31.9 +/- 31.0) as compared to Controls (53.9 +/- 56.5) with P = 0.003. Iron deficiency could be a potential ri...

Deconstructing Social Resistance to Pulse Polio Campaign in Two North Indian Districts.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: While the programs focus was on microbiological issues, the obstacles to polio eradication lie in the endemicity of social (and or cultural) resistance in some pockets, leading to clustering of perpetually unimmunized children inspite of good coverage of SIAs at macro level. This may sustain low levels of wild poliovirus transmission, and there can be exceptions to the robustness of the pulse approach. A micro level involvement of volunteers from marginalized pockets of minorities might be able to minimize or eliminate this resistance.

Conclusion: There is no evidence of an increased risk of treatment failure with short course of antibiotics for acute otitis media. Among the short-course regimens, azithromycin use was associated with a lower risk of treatment failure while short-acting oral antibiotics and parenteral ceftriaxone may be associated with a higher risk of treatment failure.

Kawasaki disease (KD) was first reported from Japan in 1967 by a young pediatrician, Tomisaku Kawasaki, while working at the Red Cross Hospital in Tokyo. Soon therafter, Marian Melish independently reported children with a similar clinical profile from Hawaii in the United States. KD has now been reported from all parts of the world, including several centers in India. Based on the epidemiology and clinical features, an infectious etiology has been suspected for long but no definitive causative agent has been implicated so far. Like many other vasculitides, the diagnosis of this condition is based on the recognition of...
