This study compared the effectiveness of three umbilical cord care regimens (alcohol, natural drying, and salicylic sugar powder) on 143 neonates in Taiwan. They found that the salicylic sugar powder group had the lowest rates of umbilical cord colonization by bacteria and the shortest cord separation time, averaging 6.8 days, compared to the natural drying and alcohol groups. No cases of omphalitis (umbilical cord infection) occurred with any of the three regimens. The study suggests that natural drying and salicylic sugar powder are safe and effective options for umbilical cord care in high-humidity regions like Taiwan.
Breastfeeding Patterns In Relation To Thumb Sucking And Pacifier UseBiblioteca Virtual
This document describes a study examining the relationship between breastfeeding patterns, thumb sucking, and pacifier use in 506 mother-infant pairs in Sweden. The study found that pacifier use was associated with fewer breastfeeds per 24 hours, shorter suckling duration, shorter exclusive breastfeeding duration, and shorter total breastfeeding duration compared to no pacifier use. These associations were not found for thumb sucking. The negative effects of pacifiers on breastfeeding seemed related to frequency of pacifier use.
This document discusses the importance of breastfeeding for infant health and development. It reviews several studies that show breastfeeding reduces the risk of morbidity and mortality from various infectious diseases like diarrhea, otitis media, neonatal sepsis, and respiratory infections. However, in many societies false beliefs interfere with breastfeeding and infants are commonly given prelacteal feeds or mixed feeding instead of being exclusively breastfed. The purpose of the study described is to examine the patterns of infectious diseases in non-breastfed infants compared to breastfed infants admitted to the hospital.
This study examined predictors of breastfeeding duration in Australia by following 587 women from hospital discharge through 52 weeks postpartum. The researchers found that less than half of infants were receiving any breast milk at 6 months, and only 12% were exclusively breastfed. By 12 months, only 19.2% received any breast milk. Factors positively associated with longer breastfeeding duration included higher maternal infant feeding attitudes and negatively associated factors included breastfeeding difficulties in the first 4 weeks, maternal smoking, early pacifier introduction, and early return to work. Relatively few women achieved international breastfeeding recommendations.
The Effects Of Early Pacifier Use On Breastfeeding DurationBiblioteca Virtual
This study examined the effects of pacifier use on breastfeeding duration in a cohort of 265 breastfeeding mother-infant dyads in the United States. The researchers found that:
1) Pacifier introduction by 6 weeks was associated with a 53% increased risk of shortened duration of full breastfeeding and a 61% increased risk of shortened overall breastfeeding duration.
2) Mothers who introduced pacifiers tended to breastfeed less frequently, with statistically significant differences at 2 and 12 weeks.
3) At 12 weeks, mothers using pacifiers were more likely to report breastfeeding being inconvenient and having insufficient milk supply.
4) Pacifier use begun before 2 weeks or 6 weeks was not significantly associated
This study analyzed data from over 15,000 infants in the UK Millennium Cohort Study to examine the relationship between breastfeeding and hospitalization for diarrhea and respiratory infections in the first 8 months of life. The results showed that exclusive breastfeeding, compared to no breastfeeding, was associated with a lower risk of hospitalization for both diarrhea and respiratory infections after adjusting for various confounding factors. Partial breastfeeding also showed a protective effect, but it was weaker than exclusive breastfeeding. The protective effects of breastfeeding decreased after breastfeeding cessation. The study suggests that increased rates of exclusive and prolonged breastfeeding could significantly reduce hospitalizations in the UK.
Exclusive Breastfeeding Reduces Acute Respiratory Infection And DiarrheaBiblioteca Virtual
This study examined the relationship between breastfeeding practices and infant mortality in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The researchers followed over 1600 infants from birth to 12 months. They found that exclusive breastfeeding declined from 53% at 1 month to 5% at 6 months. Partial or no breastfeeding was associated with a 2-3 times higher risk of infant death from all causes, acute respiratory infection (ARI), and diarrhea compared to exclusive breastfeeding. The study suggests that exclusive breastfeeding in early infancy reduces infant mortality, particularly from ARI and diarrhea.
This study assessed how mothers learn about proper handling of infant formula and whether they follow safe practices. The study found that most mothers did not receive instruction from health professionals on formula preparation or storage. Many mothers did not fully read or understand package label instructions. While most believed following safety directions was important, many mothers engaged in unsafe practices like not always washing hands before preparing formula or heating bottles in microwaves. No consistent maternal traits predicted unsafe practices. More education is needed to promote proper formula handling and reduce risks of illness.

Delayed Breastfeeding Initiation Increases Risk Of Neonatal MortalityBiblioteca Virtual
This document summarizes a study that investigated the relationship between the timing of breastfeeding initiation and neonatal mortality in Ghana. The study found that initiating breastfeeding within the first day of life reduced the risk of neonatal death, with even earlier initiation (within the first hour) further reducing risk. Delaying breastfeeding initiation beyond 1 day increased the risk of neonatal death. The study suggests that promoting early breastfeeding initiation could significantly reduce neonatal mortality rates in sub-Saharan Africa.

This document summarizes a study on whether repeated ovarian stimulation cycles negatively impact ovarian reserve. It discusses several previous studies on the topic. The key findings are:
1) For patients undergoing up to three repeated in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, studies show no significant decline in ovarian response or number of oocytes retrieved between cycles after controlling for age.
2) Studies also found no detrimental effect on ovarian function for egg donors undergoing up to three repetitive ovarian stimulation cycles for IVF.
3) For patients undergoing more than three cycles, the results are equivocal as age becomes a more important factor, with pregnancy and live birth rates declining with additional cycles.
The document describes a case of a 1-month-old girl brought for follow-up after being hospitalized for acute gastroenteritis caused by rotavirus. When her mother resumed the usual cow milk formula, the girl began having increased watery stools. On examination she appears well hydrated with normal abdomen. The best management is to change to a lactose-free formula for the next few days as she likely has secondary lactose intolerance from the rotavirus infection. Repeating stool studies is unnecessary and other options like diluting formula or only oral rehydration are inappropriate.
Kuwait has established a national newborn screening program that screens all newborns for 22 disorders using tandem mass spectrometry and other methods. The program started in 2005 screening high-risk newborns for 2 disorders and expanded over time, becoming a universal screening program in 2014 that screens over 60,000 newborns annually across both governmental and private hospitals. The screening helps detect treatable genetic disorders early to improve newborn health outcomes and reduce disability and disease burden. Challenges in implementing the program were addressed through strategic planning, leadership, education, and integrating screening into the public health system to ensure sustainability.
The EAT study was a randomized controlled trial that evaluated whether introducing common allergenic foods like peanut, egg, and milk earlier would prevent food allergies in breastfed infants compared to exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months. Over 1300 infants were randomly assigned at 3 months of age to either the early introduction group, which introduced the foods between 3-6 months, or the standard introduction group. The primary outcome was food allergy to one of the foods between 1-3 years of age. The intention-to-treat analysis found no significant difference in food allergy rates between the groups. However, per-protocol and consumption-based analyses raised the possibility that prevention may be dose-dependent.

The study compared the antifungal effects of human milk, cow's milk, and various infant formulas against environmental fungi. Human milk showed significantly greater antifungal activity than the other substances tested, inhibiting nearly all fungal growth. Both prebiotic and probiotic formulas also demonstrated antifungal effects, though to a lesser degree than human milk. The results indicate that human milk protects infants from fungal infections not only through nutrition but also via its antifungal properties.
This document summarizes a study on trends in infant nutrition in Saudi Arabia and compliance with WHO recommendations. The study found:
1) Breastfeeding initiation was high at 91.6%, but 28.1% of infants began breastfeeding over 6 hours after birth.
2) Bottle feeding was introduced by 1 month for 51.4% of infants and by 6 months for 90%.
3) The majority (80.8%) of infants began solid foods between 4-6 months, and 40% of infants under 12 months were given whole milk.
4) Current infant feeding practices in Saudi Arabia do not comply with WHO recommendations of exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months. Early introduction of complementary foods reduces

Why Do Women Stop Breastfeeding Findings From The Pregnancy RiskBiblioteca Virtual
This study examined breastfeeding behaviors using data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment and Monitoring System (PRAMS) from 2000-2001. The authors found that 32% of women did not initiate breastfeeding, 4% stopped within the first week, 13% stopped within the first month, and 51% continued for over 4 weeks. Younger women and those with limited socioeconomic resources were more likely to stop breastfeeding early. Common reasons for stopping included sore nipples, perceived inadequate milk supply, and difficulties with breastfeeding. Women's predelivery intentions impacted their likelihood of initiating and continuing breastfeeding.
Newborn screening involves testing newborns for treatable genetic and metabolic disorders. It is a public health program that aims to identify affected infants early to prevent health problems. The document discusses the goals and components of newborn screening programs, including the diseases tested for, sample collection procedures, screening techniques, result interpretation, and confirmatory testing. It provides statistics on the increasing number of babies screened in Kuwait over recent years, from around 3,000 in 2005 to over 31,000 in 2014.
The document discusses strategies for global and local polio eradication. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative was launched in 1988 and has reduced polio cases by over 99%, though it remains endemic in 3 countries. Key strategies in India include regular pulse polio immunization days to boost immunity, maintaining high routine immunization rates, monitoring coverage, improving surveillance of acute flaccid paralysis cases, investigating cases rapidly, collecting and transporting stool samples, following up cases, outbreak response immunization, and mopping up remaining areas of suspected circulation. The goal is to fully detect, interrupt transmission, and certify the eradication of wild polio virus.
Risk Factors For Excess Weight Loss And Hypernatremia In Exclusively Breast F...Biblioteca Virtual
The document discusses risk factors for excessive weight loss and hypernatremia in exclusively breastfed infants. It found that factors like primiparity, delayed initiation of breastfeeding after delivery, fewer than 4 stools per day, pink diaper color, breast conditions making breastfeeding difficult, cesarean delivery, and use of extra heaters were associated with greater weight loss and higher rates of hypernatremia in the infants studied. The results suggest that prompt initiation of breastfeeding and interventions if breastfeeding problems occur can help promote successful breastfeeding and prevent issues like excessive weight loss and dehydration in newborns.
Newborn screening identifies treatable diseases in newborns through early blood tests. It aims to prevent brain damage, illness, or death through early detection and treatment before symptoms appear. The document discusses criteria for diseases and tests included in screening programs. It provides details on the 22 disorders detected in its screening panel using two analytical methods. Clinical presentations of some disorders are also described. Proper sample collection and handling are emphasized to ensure test validity.
Early total enteral feeding in stable preterm infants a systematic review and...dineshdharel13
In conclusion, it seems feasible and safe to start total enteral feeding in stable VLBW infants born with birth weight greater than 1000–1200g. This approach can reduce the need of intravenous fluid or PN and its adverse consequences as well as decrease the length of hospital stay for these infants. A larger randomized trial is needed to ensure ETEF is not associated with increased risk of NEC in stable preterm infants with birth weight greater than 1000g and gestational age greater than 28 weeks. Furthermore, there is a need to explore whether ETEF regimen is feasible in extremely low birth weight infants.
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of high-dose docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation on neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm infants. The study found that:
1) Overall, high-DHA supplementation did not significantly improve Bayley Mental Development Index (MDI) scores at 18 months corrected age compared to standard DHA supplementation.
2) However, girls who received high-DHA supplementation had significantly higher MDI scores than girls who received standard supplementation.
3) Infants born weighing less than 1250g who received high-DHA supplementation tended to have higher MDI scores, but the difference was not statistically significant after adjustment for confounders.
Antenatal Peer Support Workers And Initiation Of Breast Feeding Cluster Rando...Biblioteca Virtual
This study assessed the effectiveness of an antenatal peer support worker service on the initiation of breastfeeding. The study involved a cluster randomized controlled trial of 66 antenatal clinics and 2511 pregnant women in a deprived, multiethnic population in Birmingham, UK. Clinics were randomly assigned to receive the peer support worker intervention (n=1140) or standard antenatal care (n=1371). The primary outcome of breastfeeding initiation did not differ significantly between the intervention (69.0%) and control (68.1%) groups after adjusting for clustering. Ethnicity, parity and mode of delivery predicted initiation, but the peer support worker intervention did not increase initiation rates.
This document discusses the care of late preterm infants between 34-36 weeks gestation. It notes that these infants are at higher risk for temperature instability, hypoglycemia, respiratory distress, jaundice, feeding difficulties, and suspected sepsis compared to full term infants. The document provides details on the increased risks for respiratory issues, hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, infections, and impaired neurodevelopment in late preterm infants. It also outlines recommendations for admission criteria, in-hospital management and monitoring, discharge criteria, and follow-up care for late preterm infants.
1) A new diagnostic test called A1Care has been developed to measure glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in cats and dogs with diabetes. This is the first affordable and easy-to-use test that provides a glucose average over the past 70-110 days for cats and dogs, respectively.
2) The test involves collecting a few drops of dried blood and mailing it to the company for analysis. Results are then emailed or available online within 3-5 business days.
3) Measuring HbA1c levels provides veterinarians a longer-term view of glucose management than traditional tests, allowing for better diabetes treatment and monitoring in pets.
This document discusses maternal medication use and breastfeeding. It notes that over 75% of infants in the US are breastfed initially, but that rate drops to around 50% by 6 months due to various social factors and medication use. The average number of medications taken by breastfeeding mothers is 4. Key concepts around how medications enter breast milk are discussed, such as molecular weight, plasma levels, and protein binding. Calculating the relative infant dose is presented as a useful tool to determine safety. Common psychiatric medications like SSRIs, benzodiazepines, and atypical antipsychotics are highlighted as generally compatible with breastfeeding when used at standard doses due to low relative infant doses.

Magnesium Prevents the Cerebral Palsy Precursor in Premature InfantsRoss Finesmith M.D.
To determine if magnesium sulfate has an effect on the development of cystic
periventricular leukomalacia in preterm infants, this retrospective case control study
was conducted. There were 23,382 infants born at three teaching hospitals in the metropolitan New York area from January 1992 to December 1994. Four hundred ninety-two infants met our entrance criteria. Criteria included a birth weight less than 750 g, survival to at least 7 days of life and at least one cranial ultrasound after 7 days of life.
Infants exposed to magnesium sulfate in utero were less likely to develop periventricular
leukomalacia. Two of 18 (11%) infants with periventricular leukomalacia were

Perinatal magnesium administration and the prevention of periventricular leuk...Ross Finesmith M.D.
This study examined the effect of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) on the development of cystic periventricular leukomalacia (cPVL) in preterm infants. The researchers conducted a retrospective case-control study of 492 preterm infants born between 1992-1994 weighing less than 1750g who survived at least 7 days. They found infants exposed to MgSO4 in utero were less likely to develop cPVL. Specifically, 2 of 18 infants with cPVL were exposed to MgSO4 compared to 14 of 36 controls, indicating MgSO4 exposure is associated with a reduced risk of cPVL. Further analysis confirmed the groups were similar in other variables and preeclampsia alone did
2009 08 15 Vaccines, Adverse Reactions, and the Florida Lawdrdavid999
The document discusses concerns about vaccines including whether they may overstress the immune system, the lack of safety studies on vaccine components like thimerosal and aluminum, and the high levels of mercury infants received from vaccines prior to 2001. It notes signs of mercury toxicity are the same as symptoms seen in autistic children and that children with autism have impaired ability to detoxify metals like mercury.
This document discusses concerns about vaccines and their ingredients like mercury and aluminum. It notes that while vaccines have reduced diseases, more children now have chronic illnesses, learning disabilities, and autoimmune disorders. It questions if vaccines may be overstressing immune systems or if too many are given too early. It also notes a lack of safety studies on vaccine combinations, subgroups of people, and how ingredients interact with each other and other toxins. It provides data showing past mercury levels in vaccines exceeded EPA safety guidelines and discusses mercury's neurotoxicity and impacts on development. It associates environmental mercury with increased autism rates and impaired detoxification in autistic children.
Integration of salivary biomarkers into developmental... granger, kivlighan, ...01238682460
This document discusses challenges with collecting saliva samples, especially from certain populations, and potential solutions. It notes that collecting saliva from infants, very young children, and the oldest elderly can be unexpectedly difficult due to low saliva production, sleep, consumption of liquids/foods, and other factors. When sample collection is inadequate, it can seriously compromise research goals by creating missing data and confounding results. The document evaluates different saliva collection methods and finds that cotton absorbents perform poorly with small sample volumes, which are common in challenging populations. It suggests alternative collection methods may help address these issues.
Dealing With Fears Of Chemical Pollution Of BreastmilkBiblioteca Virtual
This document discusses fears about chemical pollution in breastmilk, specifically related to dioxins. It summarizes several studies that have found:
1) The majority (90-95%) of human exposure to dioxins comes from food, while only 5-10% comes from air.
2) Effects from dioxin exposure were more strongly associated with transplacental (in utero) exposure rather than breastmilk exposure.
3) Ongoing studies support the recommendation that breastfeeding should continue to be promoted due to its overall health benefits for infants, and concerns about dioxin exposure should not unduly influence a mother's decision to breastfeed.
This document summarizes concerns about vaccine safety and alternatives to vaccination. It discusses the potential risks of mercury, aluminum, and other components in vaccines on immune and neurological development. While not suggesting abandoning vaccines, it notes the lack of long-term safety studies and the possibility that vaccines may exacerbate underlying immune issues or metabolic disorders in some children.
Microbiological Assessment and Storage Quality of Expressed Breast MilkAI Publications
The microbiological and storage quality of expressed human breast milk was studied between July and December, 2016. One hundred and twenty working class lactating mothers and thirty lactating mothers visiting Imo State University teaching Hospital Orlu for various health challenges were recruited for the study. They were requested to express 60ml of their breast milk into sterile containers. The milk sample collected from each mother was distributed 10ml into each of 3 sterile containers. One set was heated at 100OC for 1hour in a water bath, 1 set was stored in a refrigerator at – 4OC for 5 days and 1 set was stored on the bench at ambient temperature without any treatment. 0.1ml of each sample was inoculated on laboratory culture media before commencement of storage and 2hours, 6hours, 12 hours, 24 hours and 5days post storage. Eight genera of bacteria: Stapylococcus aureus, Streptococcus viridians, Diphtheroides, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, Lactobacillus species, Pseudomonas species and Salmonella species, were isolated from expressed human breast milk samples. The most prevalent bacterium in the milk samples was Staphylococcus epidernidis, followed by Escherichia coli. The least prevalent bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella species and Diphtheroides. No bacterium was isolated from milk samples heated at 100OC and stored in a refrigerator. The total heterotrophic bacterial counts of the milk samples collected from healthy working mothers ranged from 3.2 x 103 to 8.2 x 103cfu/ml, while that of health challenged mothers ranged from 4.3 x 103 to 1.6 x 104cfu/ml. As shown, the bacterial counts of the samples. Out of 30 samples collected from health – challenged mothers, 9 (30%) had total heterotrophic bacteria count ranging from 1.2 x 104 to 1.6 x 104cfu/ml, 21 (70%) had total bacteria count ranging from 4.3 x 103 to 8.6 x 103cfu/ml. Analysis of the data using chi square showed significant difference (p < 0.05) in the total heterotrophic bacterial count of breast milk between healthy working mothers and health challenged mother.

Abstract: Prematurity used to be a major cause of infant deaths. The premature babies need improved medical and nursing techniques by highly competence nursing team.
Material and Methods: This descriptive hospital based study was conducted at Soba university hospital, Khartoum state in the period from January to March 2014. The study aimed at assessing the knowledge and practices of pediatric nurses in neonatal intensive care unit concerning nursing management of preterm babies. The sample size compromised of 50 nurses that constituted the total coverage of study population during the period of the study. Data were collected using structured interview questionnaire and observation check list designed f or the study. The data was analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). Results:The results obtained that the majority of nurses were knowledgeable about the characteristics of preterm babies, causes of prematurity, immediate nursing care of preterm, signs of hypothermia were adequate (100%, 92%, 100%,100% respectively). Half of them (50%) identify the breathing pattern of preterm baby. The nurses clinical performance were inadequate where 70% of them recorded pulse rate only when recorded the baby pulse.100% did not wear mask, 80% find a difficulty on selecting appropriate vein for sampling . Also 48% of nurses gave feeding incorrect and 60% of them did not aspirate gastric contents before feeding.
Conclusion: The study concluded that the majority of pediatric nurses had adequate knowledge about prematurity, but they were lacking in their clinical skills to manage the preterm baby. So the study recommended continuous training programs for the nurses to refresh their knowledge and practices towards management of preterm babies to ideal standards.Keywords: Pediatric Nurses’ Knowledge, Practices Regarding Nursing Management, Premature Babies.

1) Twelve fetal lambs were studied before and after their mothers were given either green tea or water for one week. 2) Echocardiography after one week showed signs of ductal constriction in all lambs whose mothers drank green tea, including increased ductal velocities and right ventricular enlargement. 3) Autopsies also showed enlarged and thickened right ventricles in lambs exposed to green tea compared to controls. Histology found the ductal medial avascular zone was significantly thicker in green tea lambs versus controls, indicating ductal constriction.
This document summarizes a study on bacterial contamination found in powdered infant formula. The key points are:
- Testing found that over 50% of powdered formula samples from 35 countries were contaminated with Enterobacteria bacteria.
- Several outbreaks of illness in neonatal intensive care units were linked to formula contaminated with Salmonella or Enterobacter sakazakii bacteria before the formula was opened.
- In response, some formula brands recalled batches and health authorities issued safety warnings, but more needs to be done to inform consumers directly of the risks and encourage stricter manufacturing practices.
Breastfeeding Training For Health Professionals And Resultant Changes In Brea...Biblioteca Virtual
This study aimed to quantify changes in breastfeeding duration among mothers served by hospitals exposed to the Wellstart-SLC breastfeeding promotion course, compared to control hospitals not exposed. The study randomly assigned 8 Brazilian hospitals to an exposed group (staff attended the course) or control group. For each hospital, cohorts of 50 children born before and after the course were followed up at 1 and 6 months. Results showed increases in exclusive (29%) and full (20%) breastfeeding rates in exposed hospitals, but no changes in control hospitals. The study supports training health professionals to promote longer breastfeeding duration.
This study examines labor patterns in over 26,000 women using data from the National Collaborative Perinatal Project collected between 1959-1966. The researchers found that the median time to progress from one centimeter of cervical dilation to the next decreased as labor advanced. Nulliparous women had the longest labor curves, while multiparous women had similar curves. The study suggests that the active phase of labor may not start until 5 cm of dilation in nulliparas and that a graduated approach based on cervical dilation is needed to properly diagnose abnormal labor progression.
1) The study tested the hypothesis that maternal ingestion of green tea in late pregnancy causes fetal ductal constriction by inhibiting prostaglandins. 2) Echocardiography of fetal lambs exposed to green tea in utero showed signs of ductal constriction compared to controls. 3) Autopsies found dilated and hypertrophic right ventricles in lambs exposed to green tea, and histological analysis found thicker ductal walls in these lambs.

This study compared the effectiveness of three umbilical cord care regimens (alcohol, natural drying, and salicylic sugar powder) on 143 neonates in Taiwan. They found that the salicylic sugar powder group had the lowest rates of umbilical cord colonization by bacteria and the shortest cord separation time, averaging 6.8 days, compared to the natural drying and alcohol groups. No cases of omphalitis (umbilical cord infection) occurred with any of the three regimens. The study suggests that natural drying and salicylic sugar powder are safe and effective options for umbilical cord care in high-humidity regions like Taiwan.

This particular slides consist of- what is Pneumothorax,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.
