NTDs occur when the neural tube does not close properly. The neural tube forms the early brain and spine. These types of birth defects develop very early during pregnancy, often before a woman knows she is pregnant. The two most common NTDs are spina bifida (a spinal cord defect) and anencephaly (a brain defect).

Neural tube defects are the most common congenital abnormality in India which can be easily prevented with due information and better nursing practices. Neural Tube Defects can be prevented with intake of folic acid.
Spina bifida overview Clinical Neuro by Dr Krishna NS (M.O.Th-Neuro)Dr Krishna NSK
Spina bifida is a condition that affects the spine and is usually apparent at birth. It is a type of neural tube defect (NTD). Spina bifida can happen anywhere along the spine if the neural tube does not close all the way.
Central nervous system defects include disorders caused by an imbalance of cerebrospinal fluid (as in hydrocephalus) and a range of disorders resulting from malformations of the neural tube during embryonic development (often called “neural tube defects”). These defects vary from mild to severely disabling.
Spina bifida is a birth defect where there is an incomplete closing of the backbone and membranes around the spinal cord. It is a developmental congenital anomaly
Neural tube defects: Importance of Folic Acid and Vitamin B12 intakeVijaya Sawant,PMP, OCP
Birth defects are a global problem, but their impact is particularly severe in middle and low income countries where more than 94 percent of the births with serious birth defects and 95 percent of the deaths of these children occur. Serious birth defect can be lethal. For those who survive, these disorders can cause lifelong mental, physical, auditory or visual disability. The report shows that at least 3.3 million children under five years of age die from birth defects each years. More than 70% of birth defects can be prevented. Educate the community about the birth defects and the opportunities for effective care and prevention.

My name is Dahianara Moran and I believe being the parent of a child with Spina Bifida is like having a sixth sense, something like a Super Mom. We learn quickly how to defend our little ones from the awkward moments, but most important, we come to enjoy the little things, value our moments, and commit to change the way the world defines “Disability”.

Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

6. Neural tube Defect
Introduction
A neural tube defect is malformation of brain, spinal
cord , or both during embryonic development.
It happens in the first week of pregnancy even when she does
not that she is pregnant.
NTD is the most common defect.
In the United States approximately 30 out of 10,000 newborn
are born with NTD.
7. Etiology:
The causes of NTD are still unknown. The most
studied and likely cause involve interaction between:
Environmental factors
Nutrition
Genetic factors
Obese women
8. Classification of NTD
Classification of NTD are
Open NTD:
it is more common. It occur due to defect in the
brain and skull and exposed at birth.
Examples:anencephaly,encephaloceles,spina bifida.
Close NTD:
Rarest type of NTD are close NTD.it occur
when skin covered the spinal defect.
Examples:lipomyelomeningocele
10. Spina bifida occulta
In this type of neural tube defect, the meanings do not
herniated through the opening in the spinal canal. By
definition spina bifida means hidden split spine.
11. Meningocele
Outer part of vertebrae spilt.
Spinal cord usually normal.
Meninges damaged and displaced through opening.
12. Mylomeningocele:
Outer part of vertebrae spilt.
It involve herniation of meninges as well as spinal
cord.
Careful neurological examination is mandatory.
13. Signs and symptoms
Loss of bladder
Hips and legs become week
Legs paralyzed
Hair at sacral region
15. Anencephaly:
It is serious brain defect in which baby born without
parts of brain and skull.
It happens when the first part of neural tube defect
does not close all the way. This is often result in baby
being born without front part of brain.
Infants usually not survive and die within few hours or
days.
16. Encephalocele:
It is characterized by sac like protrusion of brain and
membranes.
Symptoms:
neurological problems
hydrocephalus
17. Diagnosis:
Tests are used to diagnose neural tube defects are
Ultrasound examination
Amniotic fluid alpha feto protein
Amniotic fluid acetyl cholinesterase
Often, these defects are apparent at birth, but
acute defects may not be diagnosed until much later in
life.
18. Medical management
Medical care
The new born with open NTD should be kept
warm and defect should be covered with sterile
dressing.
There is no cure for spina bifida as the damaged
nerve tissue cannot be repaired or its function cannot
be restored.
Surgical management:
Neurosurgical repair of defect is considered the
main stay of treatment for open spina bifida.
19. Prevention:
1. Pre conceptional folate supplementation
• Folate supplements taken one month before
conception and continued throughout the first
trimester can help support a
healthy pregnancy
Prevent neural tube defect.
• For this reason, all women of child bearing age
are capable of becoming pregnant should consume
400 microgram.
20. Cont’
2. Food fortification with addition of folate:
Grain product in the United states are fortified
with folate to help ensure an adequate intake.
Labels on fortified products may claim that an
adequate intake of folate has been shown to reduce the
risk of neural tube defect.
Fortification has improved the foliate status in women
of child bearing age and lowered the number of neural
tube defect that occur each year.
21. Treatment:
Treatment of NTD depend on severity of
complications.
No treatment is available for NTD.
Surgical management may improve survival and
functions of infants with spinal cord defect.
24. Fetal alcohol syndrome:
Introduction:
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder are group of birth
defects that can happen when pregnant women drink
alcohol.
FAS is most severe type of disorder.
FAS is non genetic congenital disease.
People with FAS has many problems with their vision,
hearing, memory, abilities to learn and communicate.
25. Mechanism:
Human fetus is at triple risk of maternal alcohol
consumption. Mother who drink alcohol expose fetus
to alcohol in uterus.
Alcohol circulate to fetus in pregnant women. The
alcohol inhibit intrauterine growth.
There ,the alcohol crosses the blood brain barrier and
interfere with the ability of fetus to receive sufficient
oxygen.
26. Causes:
Women drinking alcohol during pregnancy is the cause of
FAS.
When pregnant women drinks alcohol it will pass to the
fetus. As the fetus has no fully developed liver so fetus does
not process the alcohol in same as adult so the alcohol
concentrated in fetus. So alcohol can interfere with the
normal function of fetus particularly brain and CNS.
It causes abnormal physical development by killing cells of
fetus.
It become the cause of shortage of oxygen and nutrient to
fetus.
27. Symptoms
Growth retardation
Delayed development of motor skills
Impaired language development
Facial features:
Eyes: small, drooping eye lid
Ears: small, low set
Nose: upturned, shortened
Mouth: thin upper lip, wide, cleft palate
29. Diagnosis:
No lap test that can prove that child has FAS.
To diagnose FAS, doctors seek for facial features. They
also try to find out whether the mother drink during
while pregnancy.
Symptoms cant be cured but early diagnosis can
improve child development and out look. The
following criteria should be met to diagnose FAS
Growth deficiency
FAS facial features
CNS damage
30. Treatment:
There are no medication that treat FAS.
Several medicines may address symptoms that
include:
Antidepressant treat problems with sadness
Antianxiety drugs treat anxiety
heart abnormalities may require surgery.
31. Count…
Counseling
Behavioral training may also help.
Children with FAS need academic help.
Executive function training may improve skills such as
self control.
Alternative treatment:
Movement treatment or exercises such as yoga etc it may
help in movement of skeleton.
32. Prevention:
Only way to prevent FAS to avoid drinking alcohol
during pregnancy.
Parental training
Concentrate on your child strength and talent
Accept your child limitations
Use concentrate language
