Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) compromise the development and attainment of full social economic potential at individual, family, community, country levels. Paucity data on NDDs slows down policy programmatic action in most developing countries despite perceived high burden.We assessed 3,964 children (with almost equal number boys girls distributed 2-<6 6-9 year age categories) identified from five geographically diverse populations India using cluster sampling technique (probability...
Family-centered care (FCC), based on collaborative participation of the family along with a team health providers, is found to increase well-being sick infants in neonatal critical units. Over last 4 years, unit Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital Delhi has innovated and developed an implementation framework for FCC. This qualitative study assessed acceptability family-centered among providers members neonates identify gaps challenges implementation. In-depth interviews were conducted purposive...
Allo-anti-M often has an immunoglobulin G (IgG) component but is rarely clinically significant. We report a case of hemolytic disease the fetus and newborn along with prolonged anemia in twins that persisted for up to 70 days postbirth. The aim was diagnose successfully manage (HDN) due maternal alloimmunization. Direct antiglobulin test (DAT), antigen typing, irregular antibody screening identification were done by polyspecific antihuman globulin cards standard tube method. At presentation,...
Abstract Background A family-centered care (FCC) parent participation program that ensures an infant is not separated from parents against their will was developed for the caring of small or sick newborn at a neonatal intensive unit (NICU) in Delhi, India. Healthcare provider sensitization training directed psychosocial and tangible support audio-visual tool parent-attendants were included: 1) handwashing, infection prevention, protocol entry; 2) developmentally supportive care,...
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) has an established role in the care of Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) babies with respiratory distress. Bubble CPAP (BCPAP) is a cheap alternative for countries where resources are limited. However, data comparing efficacy BCPAP conventional ventilator derived (VCPAP) limited.To compare failure rates between and VCPAP among VLBW, moderate Secondary objectives were to Intraventricular Haemorrhage (IVH), pulmonary air leaks deaths two groups determine...
Family-centered care (FCC) for sick newborns is emerging as a paradigmatic shift in the practice of facility-based newborn care. It seeks to transforming provider-centered model into client-centered one and thus build new therapeutic alliance. FCC cornerstone continuum care, imparting caregiving competencies parents/caregivers both within institutions well after discharge. This has potential gains newborn, family members, facility-level staff. The initial piloted tertiary-care settings now...
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is known to be the chief causative organism for community-acquired non-lobar pneumonia in children of 5-15 years age. M. as an aetiological agent among neonates and infants has rarely been reported. We report here a case persistent due 3-week-old neonate.
Symptomatic cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection mainly affects preterm and immunocompromised infants usually manifest as rash, pneumonia, hepatospleenomegaly or encephalitis. To our knowledge intractable diarrhoea at two weeks of age caused by postnatally acquired CMV in immunocompetent term neonate is not reported. An unusual case enterocolitis manifesting protracted an baby neonatal period We conclude that should be considered the differential diagnosis treatment with intravenous ganciclovir...
Abstract Objectives Short- or long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of Neonatal Chikungunya infection haven’t been well described. In this study, we describe a series 13 infants. Methods Study was conducted over period 1 year in high-risk follow-up clinic. Follow-up visits were at 3, 6, 9, 12 ± 3 months. Primary outcome Development Quotient by Developmental Assessment Scales for Indian Infants. Secondary outcome: growth/anthropometric assessment, neuromotor/neurosensory and...
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a potentially life-threatening complication of blood component transfusion. It relatively underdiagnosed entity in neonates with scant literature. We report case TRALI preterm neonate developing respiratory distress within 6 h product transfusion the absence preexisting disease. Prompt ventilator and supportive management were instituted. The baby showed clinical radiological improvement 12 h; however, he succumbed to death due massive...
Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis is a rare condition with very high mortality rate if left untreated. We report neonate having around 490 cutaneous and multiple diffuse liver hemangiomas presenting as congestive heart failure. Prompt treatment was instituted decongestive drugs prednisolone for anticipated life threatening complications due to hepatic hemangiomas. Propranolol added later it known precipitate failure also avoid long-term of steroids. The child responded well. However, there no...
A rare case of Jarcho Levin syndrome (JLS) presenting as a lethal progressive respiratory insufficiency in early neonatal period is reported. The neonate had classical features this including vertebral segmentation defects, typical costo-vertebral fusion defects and scoliosis resulting small thoracic volume limited chest expansion; all consistent with clinical diagnosis JLS insufficiency. In addition, our association dextrocardia acyanotic congenital heart disease.
Introduction Neural tube defects constitute a major source of disability among children. Proper management requires accurate diagnosis, an assessment the severity lesion, decision whether intervention is warranted, nature intervention, and educating family need for lifelong medical care. But to do so, reliable data regarding presentation outcome very crucial.Aim study To discuss clinical epidemiological profile babies admitted with neural (NTDs).Material methods Retrospective observational...
Laryngotracheoesophageal cleft (LTEC) is a rare disorder allied with serious associated anomalies. Benjamin and Inglis classified laryngeal clefts as type 1: supraglottic interarytenoid cleft. Type II: partial cricoid extending below the level of vocal folds. III: total that may extend to cervical tracheoesophageal septum. IV: laryngoesophageal involving major part wall in thorax.[1] Out these, types III IV are most challenging diagnose manage being life-threatening conditions.
