Janell Moore worked as a Bixby Fellow in Jinja, Uganda for John Snow Inc. and USAID on the STAR-EC project. The project aimed to strengthen tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS responses in East-Central Uganda through programs like PMTCT, a Mentor Mother Program, and outreach on Sigulu Island over 7 weeks covering 18 clinics over 1000km and impacting 427 babies.
This study examined the relationships between breastfeeding, maternal sensitivity, and infant-mother attachment. The researchers hypothesized that breastfeeding would be associated with enhanced maternal sensitivity and secure infant-mother attachment. They assessed 152 mother-infant dyads' breastfeeding intent, practices, maternal sensitivity at 3 months, quality of mother-infant interaction at 6 months, and infant attachment security at 12 months. The results showed that mothers who chose to breastfeed displayed greater sensitivity at 3 months than bottle-feeding mothers. Higher maternal sensitivity predicted longer breastfeeding duration and secure infant attachment. However, infant attachment security was best predicted by the quality of the mother-infant interaction, regardless of feeding method.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

Indian Health universities, IT Education institutions, and the healthcare industry must proactively collaborate to start health informatics courses on a big scale. An advocacy push from various stakeholders is also needed for this goal.
Health informatics has huge employment potential and provides a big business opportunity for the healthcare industry. A big pool of trained health informatics manpower can lead to product & service innovations on a global scale in India.

More than a numberMore than a numberby Madison Murray & Leandra Wilkins
Five-year-old Jaxson lives with a rare genetic condition called trisomy 9q.
He was born with part of an extra chromosome, which his doctor in the
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital
was able to diagnose early. Within two weeks of welcoming their son into
the world, new parents Rachael and Drew learned that Jaxson’s often-fatal
condition is so rare, there isn’t much research on treating it. Luckily, they have
a team of experts at Children’s Hospital to help them face every new challenge.
Trisomy-what?
Trisomy 9q occurs when the entire 9th chromosome appears three times rather
than twice in some cells. One segment of the chromosome (Q) is in duplication.
Among other things, the disease causes an array of developmental disorders
and malformations that vary from patient to patient.
In Jaxson’s case, he was born with a blockage in his digestive tract,
which required muitiple surgeries at Children’s Hospital. He still
requires a gastrointestinal tube (G-tube) for feeding, but he
attends weekly therapies to learn how to swallow and eat on
his own.
Jaxson also has some developmental delays. He did not learn
to walk until he was 26 months old, but now he runs and
jumps like any other five-year-old. And although he is unable
to speak, Jaxson has found a way to communicate through
sound and sign language.
Althought there is little information on trisomy 9q, the Copes
are encouraged by the patient-focused care they receive at
Children’s Hospital.
“We are writing our own rulebook with
Jaxson and Children’s Hospital has
helped us do that,” says Rachael.
A miracle baby
Jaxson came into this world early, a week before
Christmas, but his journey could have ended before it
began.
In the final stages of pregnancy, Rachael suddenly
lost her amniotic fluid, which is the nutrient-rich fluid
surrounding the baby in the womb. Typically, a baby
who loses its central source of nutrients wouldn’t survive,
but Jaxson miraculously did. It wasn’t until after Jaxson
was born that the Corryton couple realized the intestinal
blockage caused by his rare trisomy 9q was most likely what saved
his life in the womb.
“He’s our miracle baby. This thing that has
caused so many problems is also the thing
that saved his life.” - Drew Cope
Following his premature birth, Jaxson spent 70 days in the NICU,
fighting for life. The Copes worked with their primary care
team to create a road map for Jaxson.
“We worked through Jaxson’s care little by little, one day at
a time,”says NICU nurse Elizabeth Cayce.
Because of his fragile state, Rachael and Drew were unable
to hold Jaxson until nearly ten weeks later. One snowy
morning, just days before they were scheduled to be
discharged from the NICU, Elizabeth offered the family the
greatest gift she could: a chance to hold their son for
the first time.
“It was our first Christmas present as parents, and that
was all we could have asked for,”says Drew.

Shining his light
Living with a rare genetic condition can be intimidating, but because of his parents’attentive dedication,
Jaxson is thriving. In his first four years of life, Jaxson has had 12 surgeries, made numerous inpatient stays
for various illnesses, and has had more than a few trips to the Children’s Hospital emergency department.
He lives with a feeding tube and attends up to three hours of therapies per week.
“Jaxson does have a lot of medical issues related to his medical disorder,”says Dr. Kelly Boggan, Jaxson’s
pediatrician,“but he’s certainly up to the challenge.”
Dr. Boggan has worked with the Copes since Jaxson was released from the NICU. She coordinates his care between
her practice at Children’s Hospital Primary Care and the many specialists he sees at Children’s Hospital.
“Even from that very first visit at two months of age,
he just had this smile that steals your heart,”says
Boggan.
Jaxson has touched nearly every department at
Children’s Hospital so far. From the emergency
department to the inpatient floors, nurses and
doctors will make a special effort to visit with the
bouncy redhead and his parents.
Jaxson is admitted to Children’s Hospital at least once
a year, and in those instances, the nurse who knows
him best volunteers to be his primary nurse, so that
he and his parents have consistent, familiar care.
“I really love Rachael and Drew,”Elizabeth says.
“They’re awesome parents, and Jaxson is so fun to
take care of.”
Jaxson’s personality is magnetic.“Even if you have
never met him before, you are bound to fall in love
with him,”adds Rachael.
Jaxson’s Journey
When the Cope family goes to count their blassings,
they count one 5-year-old, one extra chromosome and
one Children’s Hospital.
What’s next?
What does the future hold in store for Jaxson?
“All we want for Jaxson is for him to live a happy
life,”says Rachael. She and Drew work tirelessly
with Jaxson on his language and motor skills
and the lessons they receive in his speech and
physical therapies. They have also enrolled him
in pre-K at a local school that offers inclusive
special needs classrooms. That means Jaxson
can learn and develop with children his age,
regardless of disability. Since starting school,
Jaxson has blossomed even more into his bright
personality.
Thanks to the occupational therapy he
receives, Jaxson has started to learn how
to eat solid foods and will eventually have
his G-tube removed. It is unknown whether
Jaxson will gain the ability to speak, but his
parents are determined to help him
develop his communication skills to their
fullest potential.
“Jaxson will always struggle with development
and growth problems, but he has already
come so far in his five years,”says Dr. Boggan.
“The sky is the limit with him.”
Jaxson’s extra chromosome has brought
with it an added brightness to their family.
Jaxson continues to thrive and impact
everyone he meets. He’s leaping through
milestones and changing the way
trisomy patients are treated. East
Tennessee Children’s Hospital is proud
to have been a home for Jaxson during
his most fragile times. As he continues to
grow, the hospital will always be there to
welcome him with open arms for routine
checkups or just a smile.
