To determine obstetric and neonatal risk factors associated with subaponeurotic haemorrhage (SAH) in infants exposed to vacuum extraction.A prospective observational study.In the labour room, operation theatre, postnatal wards intensive care unit (NICU) of a tertiary teaching hospital.All born hospital history exposure study carried out over 26-month period. All eligible were examined at birth during first 24 hours life.A diagnosis SAH was based on detection tender fluctuant scalp swelling...
Occlusive plastic applied immediately after birth to reduce evaporative heat loss has been proven effective in preterm infants <28 weeks' gestation. However its effectiveness on >28 gestation not shown. This study aimed determine the effect of occlusive wrap at temperature neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission among greater than or equal 24 and less 34 gestation.Study were randomly assigned "wrap" "control" groups. Newborns group wrapped with polyethylene sheets within first min...
Background: Therapeutic hypothermia provides up to 30% neuroprotection in moderate severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Additional may be achieved by using concomitant pharmacologic neuroprotective agents. Aim: The aim was evaluate the safety of therapy therapeutic and magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4 ) management HIE term near-term infants. Study Design: Multicenter double-blind randomized controlled trial. Methodology: Term newborn infants (≥35 weeks) with a clinical diagnosis or were...
Abstract Aim: To compare the success, clinical outcomes, and maternal neonatal complications between Kiwi Omnicup Malmstrom metal cup in vacuum assisted delivery. Methods: This was a prospective randomized comparative trial. Women who required vaginal delivery were into (KO) group (MM) group. The deliveries conducted according to hospital protocol. Details of procedure outcomes including success analyzed. Results: One hundred sixty‐four women recruited – 85 assigned using KO 79 MM. percent...
Abstract Background Occlusive body wrap using polyethylene plastic applied immediately after birth had been shown to reduce hypothermia among preterm infants. Various adjunct methods have studied in an attempt further the incidence of hypothermia. This study was conducted determine whether cap is more effective than cotton as occlusive reducing Methods The subjects consisted infants 24–34 weeks’ gestation born at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre. Infants were randomly assigned...
A randomized controlled study was carried out on 96 preterm infants (>37 wk) with birthweight less than 2000 g admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit. The aim compare the weight gain between exposed 12 h cyclical lighting (intensity of light: 78.4 ± 24.7 lux, mean SD) and those continuously dim environment (5.9 1.9 lux). exclusion criteria were major congenital malformations or who needed continuous for treatment procedure care. From day 7 life until discharge, 50 receive 46...

In view of the high anti-oxidative potential oftocotrienol, role tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) palm oil in preventing pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) was explored a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial an urban teaching hospital. Healthy primigravidae were to receive either oral TRF 100 mg daily or placebo, from early second trimester until delivery. Out 299 women, 151 into arm and 148 placebo arm. A total 15 (5.0%) developed PIH. Although there no statistically...
Abstract Background Inadequate pain management is linked to potential neurodevelopmental and behavioral problems. Sufficient knowledge in neonatal required facilitate optimal management. The aim of this study was therefore assess the perception experienced by neonates requiring intensive care among pediatric doctors working a level III unit Malaysian hospitals. Methods This cross‐sectional conducted over period 18 months. A self‐administered questionnaire assessing regarding used. Results...
Abstract Lung lavage using two aliquots of 15 mL/kg dilute surfactant was performed in 30 ventilated infants with severe meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). Mean recovery instilled fluid 46%, greater return associated lower mean airway pressure at 24 h and a shorter duration respiratory support. Conclusion Recovery is paramount effective lung MAS must be afforded priority the technique.
Preterm infants are at higher risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) compared with term born and the is inversely proportional to gestational age birthweight. Parents these should have adequate knowledge practise recommended SIDS reduction measures.A survey was conducted between December 2016 August 2017 Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur. preterm ≤36 weeks' gestation were invited answer a self-administered questionnaire assess their regarding...

Context: An aim of medical schools is to select the most suitable candidates who are more likely become good doctors, fulfilling societal expectations. It imperative better understand influence 'selection' variables on students' academic performance. We conducted a retrospective record review (3R) examine predictive power pre-admission tracks performance in programme at Universiti Sains Malaysia. Methods: Data were collected graduates' university for years 2003 through 2007. This represented...
Objective : To determine whether intravenous infusion of low dose streptokinase was effective in lysing umbilical arterial catheter (UAC)‐associated aortic thrombi. Method A prospective cohort study 31 consecutive newborn infants with UAC‐associated thrombi which were detected by abdominal ultrasonography after removal UAC. Twenty‐two treated (1000 U/h) streptokinase, while nine others not due to various contra‐indications. Thrombolysis occurred a mean interval 2.2 days (standard deviation...
