The therapeutic effect of orally administered zinc was evaluated in an adult woman with acrodermatitis enteropathica. When she off therapy and clinical relapse the plasma concentration (10 mug per 100 ml), serum alkaline phosphatase (3 1U liter) urine excretion rate (39 24 hours) were extremely low. Di-iodohydroxyquin accompanied by a modest increase concentrations. Oral sulfate (220 mg three times day or 50 twice day) resulted rapid complete remission, return zinc, urinary to normal. These...
Adolescent girls between 15 and 19 years give birth to around 16 million babies each year, 11% of births worldwide. We sought determine whether adolescent mothers are at higher risk maternal perinatal adverse outcomes compared with aged 20–24 in a prospective, population-based observational study newborn low resource settings. undertook multi-country research all pregnant women defined geographic areas across 7 sites six low-middle income countries (Kenya, Zambia, India, Pakistan, Guatemala...
Because large, prospective, population-based data sets describing maternal outcomes are typically not available in low- and middle-income countries, it is difficult to monitor mortality rates over time identify factors associated with mortality. Early identification of risk essential develop comprehensive intervention strategies preventing pregnancy-related complications. Our objective was describe a multi-country dataset determine maternal, pregnancy-related, delivery postpartum...
ABSTRACT Objective: This study was undertaken to assess the feasibility and effects of consuming either meat or iron‐fortified infant cereal as first complementary food. Methods: Eighty‐eight exclusively breastfed infants were enrolled at 4 months age randomized receive pureed beef food, starting after 5 continuing until 7 months. Dietary, anthropometric, developmental data obtained longitudinally 12 months, biomarkers zinc iron status measured 9 Results: Mean (±SE) daily intake from foods...
Objective To quantify maternal, fetal and neonatal mortality in low-and middle-income countries, to identify when deaths occur relationships between maternal stillbirths deaths.Methods A prospective study of pregnancy outcomes was performed 106 communities at seven sites Argentina, Guatemala, India, Kenya, Pakistan Zambia.Pregnant women were enrolled followed until six weeks postpartum.Findings Between 2010 2012, 214 070 220 235 (97.2%) completed follow-up.The ratio 168 per 100 000 live...

During the post-partum period, most women wish to delay or prevent future pregnancies. Despite this, unmet need for family planning up a year after delivery is higher than at any other time. This study aims assess fertility intention, contraceptive usage and amongst who are six weeks postpartum, as well identify those greatest risk of having an during this period. Using NICHD Global Network Women's Children's Health Research's multi-site, prospective, ongoing, active surveillance system...
Early initiation of breastfeeding after birth and exclusive through six months age confers many health benefits for infants; both are crucial high impact, low-cost interventions. However, determining accurate global rates these activities has been challenging. We use population-based data to describe: (1) early (defined as within 1 hour birth) at 42 days post-partum; (2) factors associated with failure initiate post-partum. Prospectively collected from women their live-born infants enrolled...
