Aims and objectives This study aims to provide insight into key factors from a clinician's perspective that influence uninterrupted early skin‐to‐skin contact after vaginal caesarean delivery of healthy full‐term infants. Background Early infants ideally begins immediately birth continues for the first hour or breastfeed as recommended by Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative. However, adoption is low in many settings barriers hinder its universal use are not well understood. Design An...
Abstract Background Nutritional status of women has been considered an important prognostic indicator pregnancy outcomes. Few studies have evaluated patterns weight gain and pre-pregnancy body mass index in developing regions where malnutrition poor as well maternal obesity significant influences on the outcome. This study aims to show effect corresponding gestational outcome pregnancy. Methods On a prospective cross sectional study, two hundred seventy from urban areas Northwest Iran were...
Summary Our results for 18 patients undergoing matched sibling donor stem cell transplant Fanconi anaemia at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center were published in 1994. The present report updates our 35 consecutive patients. Thirty transplanted marrow aplasia received cyclophosphamide 5 mg/kg 4 d and 400 cGy thoraco‐abdominal irradiation. Five with clones involving chromosome 7, myelodysplastic syndrome or leukaemia a more aggressive regimen total body Horse antithymocyte globulin...

Reducing death due to neonatal sepsis is a global health priority, however there are limited tools facilitate early recognition and treatment. We hypothesized that measuring circulating biomarkers of endothelial function integrity (i.e. Angiopoietin-Tie2 axis) would identify young infants with predict their clinical outcome. conducted matched case-control (1:3) study 98 aged 0–59 days life presenting referral hospital in Bangladesh suspected sepsis. Plasma levels Ang-1, Ang-2, sICAM-1,...
While early identification of neonatal illness can impact mortality rates and reduce the burden treatment, identifying subtle clinical signs symptoms possible severe is especially challenging in neonates. The World Health Organization United Nations Children's Fund developed Integrated Management Neonatal Childhood Illness guidelines, an evidence-based tool highlighting seven danger to assess health. Currently, many mothers low-resource settings rely on home visits from community health...
Background: The etiology of >90% cases suspected neonatal infection remains unknown. We conducted community-based surveillance in conjunction with hospital-based a rural region Bangladesh from June 2006 to September 2007 assess the incidence and community-acquired viral infections among neonates. Methods: Community health workers (CHWs) assessed neonates at home on days 0, 2, 5 8 after birth referred illness hospital (CHW surveillance). Among clinically upper respiratory tract (URTI),...
American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends a single dose antibiotic prophylaxis before all cesarean sections (C/S). This recommendation is based on pharmacokinetic studies that include only non-obese patients. We sought to evaluate 1) cefazolin plasma concentrations among obese patients after administration 2-g for prevention surgical wound infections, 2) whether concentration in fetal circulation may be protective against pathogens cause early onset neonatal...
We investigated the effectiveness of mass measles vaccination campaign in Urmia, Islamic Republic Iran, by examining IgG seroprevalence and antibody response from paired data before after campaign.The overall seropositive rate 624 subjects aged 5-25 years increased 1 year (from 53.0% to 72.3%).A rise titre occurred all age groups except 21-25 group, which had highest vaccination.On logistic regression analysis, only immune status prior was significantly associated with seroresponse.It may be...
Indirect evidence suggests that amniotic fluid (AF) may play a role in the pathogenesis of utero HIV-1 transmission. The purpose this study was to evaluate potential innate inhibitory AF on HIV replication, which contribute protection fetus against intrauterine collected from term HIV-1-negative women undergoing scheduled cesarean section. effect HIV-1BA-L replication tested vitro with or without addition protease inhibitor cocktail (PIC) PHA-stimulated PBMC cultures. Quantitative...
Background: Use of social media to affect health behavior change is growing, but there little evidence that this results in positive changes or health.We sought explore benefits using a mobile phone application (app) effectively and conveniently support new mothers with breastfeeding (BF).Objective(s): 1) Solicit feedback from first time on an app designed initiation duration BF; 2) Pilot test the feasibility increase maintain BF among diverse sample; 3) Obtain qualitative subsample...
BACKGROUND: There are no definitive markers to aid in diagnosis of neonatal encephalopathy (NE). The purpose our study was: 1) identify and evaluate the utility neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) umbilical cord blood as a NE biomarker; 2) source NOS1 blood. METHODS: This was nested case-control neonates >35 weeks gestation. ELISA for performed. Sources were investigated by immunohistochemistry, western blot, quantitative PCR. Furthermore, cords full term subjected 1% hypoxia ex vivo....
