Screenings of newborn babies are designed to pursue early recognition of certain disorders with an aim to prevent serious consequences in the future. However, it is important to know that these screenings are not necessarily confirmatory diagnosis and may demand further investigations.

In obstetrics, Leopold maneuvers are a common and systematic way to determine the position of a fetus inside the woman's uterus; they are named after the gynecologist Christian Gerhard Leopold. They are also used to estimate term fetal weight.
The aim of Leopold maneuvers is to determine the fetal presentation and position by systematically palpating the gravid abdomen.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

3. Newborn Screening
• A simple procedure to find out if your
baby has a congenital metabolic
disorder that may lead to mental
retardation or even death if left
untreated.
5. • Most babies with metabolic disorders
look “normal” at birth.
• By doing NBS, metabolic disorders may
be detected even before clinical signs
and symptoms are present.
• Treatment can be given to prevent
consequences of untreated conditions.
7. • NBS is usually done on the 48th – 72nd
hour of life.
• It may also be done 24 hours from
birth.
• Some disorders are not detected if the
test is done earlier than 24 hours.
9. • Using the heel prick method, a few
drops of blood are taken from the
baby’s heel and blotted on a special
absorbent filter card.
• The blood is dried for 4 hours and sent
to Newborn Screening Center (NSC).
13. • NBS is available in participating
Newborn Screening Facilities:
Hospitals
Lying-ins
Rural Health Unit
Health Canters
• If babies are delivered at home, they
may be brought to the nearest Newborn
Screening Facility.
15. • Normal NBS results are available 7-14
working days from the time NBS
samples are received at the Newborn
Screening Centers.
• Positive NBS results are relayed from
the NSC to the NSF immediately.
• Parents should claim the NBS reults
from their physician or health
practitioner.
16. What is the meaning of the
newborn screening result?
17. • A negative screen means that NBS
result is normal.
• A positive screen means that the
newborn must be brought back to
his/her health practitioner for further
testing.
18. What should be done when a
baby has a positive NBS result?
19. • Babies with positive results should be
referred at once to a specialist for
confirmatory testing and further
management.
• Consult http://www.nsrc-nih.org.ph
for the list of specialists.
