Epidemiology and surveillance of neonatal sepsis helps in implementation rational empirical antibiotic strategy. To study the frequency bacterial isolates early onset (EONS) their sensitivity pattern. In this retrospective study, a case EONS was defined as an infant who had clinical signs or born to mothers with potential risk factors for infection, whom blood culture obtained within 72 hours life, grew pathogen. Blood sample included single from peripheral vein artery. Relevant data unit...
SummaryA transient period of hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipemia may accompany the early stage severe diabetes mel-litus in rabbits following injection alloxan. It occurred varying degrees many that survived with persistent always if was enough to cause death.

To gain an understanding of the variation in available resources and clinical practices between neonatal units (NNUs) low-income middle-income country (LMIC) setting to inform design observational study on burden unit-level antimicrobial resistance (AMR).A web-based survey using a REDCap database was circulated NNUs participating Neonatal AMR research network. The included questions about NNU funding structure, size, admission rates, access supportive therapies, empirical guidelines period...
Physical stress, including high temperatures, may damage the central metabolic nicotinamide nucleotide cofactors [NAD(P)H], generating toxic derivatives [NAD(P)HX]. The highly conserved enzyme NAD(P)HX dehydratase (NAXD) is essential for intracellular repair of NAD(P)HX. Here we present a series infants and children who suffered episodes febrile illness-induced neurodegeneration or cardiac failure early death. Whole-exome whole-genome sequencing identified recessive NAXD variants in each...
We describe a novel method to monitor pulse rate (PR) on continuous basis of patients in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) using videos taken from high definition (HD) webcam. algorithms that determine PR videoplethysmographic (VPG) signals extracted multiple regions interest (ROI) simultaneously available within the field view camera where cardiac signal is registered. detect motion video images and compensate for artifacts each ROI. Preliminary clinical results are presented 8 neonates...
Aim: The aim of the present study is to develop a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method measure two important biomarkers biotin deficiency from dried blood spot samples for effective management disorder. Materials & methods: was developed on system using pentafluorophenyl column employing mobile phase composition methanol and water in isocratic mode. A full validation performed as per relevant guidelines. Results conclusion: Correlation between results plasma evaluated determine...
Abstract Objective: The Wise Mind pilot study compared the efficacy of an environmental approach for prevention inappropriate weight gain in children with active control condition that used modifying expectancies related to use alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. Research Methods Procedures: A total 670 second sixth grade students from four schools were enrolled study. spanned 2 academic years, 586 available evaluation at end Two randomly assigned each treatment arm. focused on modification eating...
<ns4:p>Background Quality of neonatal transport services may impact outcomes. We assessed the effect skill-based education ambulance personnel (AP) on outcomes transported neonates. Methods conducted a single-arm intervention study (pre and post) over 18 months. perceptions practices AP along with equipment availability/usage. compared clinical vital parameters at arrival from Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) pre versus post intervention. analysed data using SPSS version 25. Results Of 77...
Purpose: Investigate the effect of structured neonatal physical therapy program (SNP) on neurodevelopmental outcomes moderate and late preterm (MLP) infants. Methods: Sixty MLP infants were randomly allocated to usual care (UC) or SNP. A previous publication reported component SNP at hospital discharge. This paper examined SNP’s motor, cognitive language 3 6 months using a 2-way mixed design ANOVA. Results: Both groups similar baseline for motor scores. Infants receiving significantly...
ABSTRACT Background Preterm birth is a highly stressful experience for both parents and infants. Parental participation in care enhances developmental outcomes, fosters parent–infant interactions builds parental confidence. However, low adherence has always been challenge the successful implementation of intervention programs NICU at home. It imperative to understand parents' perspectives view challenges that they through their lens while providing early infants born preterm. This study...
The aim of this study was to understand first-time mothers' experience caring for their preterm infant in an Indian context using a descriptive qualitative design. Six mothers infants were interviewed semi-structured interview guide. Thematic analysis revealed the overarching theme "striving be mother with special needs," three categories: contextual constraints at hospital and home, personal limitations coping strategies. findings highlight importance recognizing addressing unique needs infants.
Neonatal sepsis is a severe systemic infection occurring within the first month of life and remains significant cause morbidity mortality worldwide, particularly in low- middle-income (LMICs). Despite advancements medical care, challenges such as limited healthcare access inadequate diagnostic capabilities persist. This study explores impact real-time data analytics on managing neonatal sepsis, highlighting its potential to enhance early detection, diagnosis, treatment outcomes intensive...
Abstract Background Maintaining amikacin concentrations within a specific therapeutic window is crucial to avoid sub-therapeutic or toxic levels. This study aimed design dosing nomogram for in neonates using Population Pharmacokinetic (PopPK) modeling approach. Methods PopPK model was developed 101 from 80 and validated diagnostics, empirical Bayesian forecasting performed. profiles were simulated virtual subjects with range of covariates identify suitable dosage regimens. Dosage regimens...
