The Apgar score is a test given to newborns soon after birth. This test checks a baby's heart rate, muscle tone, and other signs to see if extra medical care or emergency care is needed. The test is usually given twice: once at 1 minute after birth, and again at 5 minutes after birth
neonatal hypothermia is a very emergency condition. if we identify this in early stage we can save the life of neonate. all should know about the maintaining the temperature if the neonate is in our home.
Phototherapy, also known as light therapy is a therapeutic method that is done with the non-ionizing portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The objective of phototherapy is to heal a clinical condition, minimizing the adverse effects. Light contains energy in the form of photons. Light absorbing molecules or chromophores can utilize the light energy can make a certain change.
Sunlight is known to have a healing power from the ancient times. With this concept, by the development of modern science, the power of artificial light has been using in treating certain clinical conditions such as given as in dermatitis, psoriasis, common acne, eczema, seasonal affective disorders, vitiligo, neonatal jaundice, circardian rhythm disorders etc. Modern phototherapy light sources include sunlight, fluorescent light, halogen spotlight, fibre-optic system, light emitting diodes (LEDs) and etc.

miotics and mydriatics presentation m&mmparthsaraf55
Optometrists are well-acquainted with the two opposing muscles in the iris, the sphincter and the dilator, as we witness their effects daily in clinical practice. Pupil constriction (miosis) can either be stimulated by contraction of the iris sphincter or by relaxation of the iris dilator. On the other hand, pupil dilation (mydriasis) can either be stimulated by contraction of the iris dilator or by relaxation of the iris sphincter.
Miotic and mydriatic drops work by acting on these different muscles of the iris. The drops are able to control pupil size by targeting two parts of the autonomic nervous system: the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Let’s review their function and clinical role to better understand their present uses and why some of these agents are undergoing re-evaulation for potential new ones.
Behind the Scenes
The sympathetic pathway, mainly responsible for pupil mydriasis, involves a three-neuron pathway.1,2 The first neuron begins in the hypothalamus and descends through the midbrain to synapse onto a specific area of the spinal cord, known as the ciliospinal center of Budge. This synapse is located between the C8 and T2 vertebrae. The second neuron, which is the preganglionic neuron, exits the spinal cord, ascends through the thorax and synapses near the apex of the lung into the superior cervical ganglion. The third postganglionic neuron travels to the cavernous sinus and enters the orbit through the short and long ciliary nerves, synapsing to the iris dilator.1,2
Contrarily, the parasympathetic pathway is mainly responsible for pupil miosis.1,3 Pupil constriction starts when light enters the retina and activates the retinal ganglion cells—the beginning of the afferent arm—which then transmit their impulses into the optic nerve. This stimulus travels to the optic chiasm, through the optic tract and eventually reaches the pretectal nucleus. The impulses from the pretectal nucleus begin the efferent arm, which projects to the Edinger-Westphal nucleus. The Edinger-Westphal nucleus gives rise to preganglionic fibers, which then synapse with postganglionic neurons in the ciliary ganglion. Postganglionic neurons leave the ciliary ganglion to innervate the iris sphincter.1,3

HELIOTHERAPY Helio-means sun and therapy means treatment. The use of natural sunlight for therapeutic purposes is better known as heliotherapy.
Heliotherapy is defined as the treatment of disease by exposing the body to sunlight It is the treatment by means of Sun’s electromagnetic waves
The use of sunlight is prevalent since the times of ancient Greeks and Romans. In modern days, persons can be seen taking sunbaths at the beaches in the coastal regions. Heliotherapy is effective in the treatment of psoriasis and other skin conditions as the sunrays emit ultraviolet radiations.
Many semisynthetic derivatives of belladonna
alkaloids and a large number of synthetic compounds have been introduced with the aim of
producing more selective action on certain
functions. Most of these differ only marginally
from the natural alkaloids, but some recent ones
appear promising.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

From navigating policy options to staying informed about industry trends, this comprehensive guide explores everything you need to know about the health insurance market.
4. INTRODUCTION
Phototherapy has been used since 1958 for the
treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia. It
causes unconjugated bilirubin to be mobilised
from the skin by structural isomerisation to a
water soluble form (lumirubin) that can be
excreted in the urine.
The aim of phototherapy is to decrease the level
of unconjugated bilirubin in order to prevent acute
bilirubin encephalopathy, hearing loss and
kernicterus.
5. CONT…
Lamps emitting light between the wavelengths of
400 - 500 nanometres (peak at 460nm) are
specifically used for administering phototherapy
as bilirubin absorbs this wavelength of light. The
light is visible blue light and contains no ultraviolet
light.
6. DEFINITION
Phototherapy (light therapy) is a way of treating
jaundice. Special lights help break down the
bilirubin in your baby's skin so that it can be
removed from his or her body. This lowers the
bilirubin level in your baby's blood.
It is defined as exposure of skin to a specialised
light sources that converts unconjugated bilirubin
into water soluble conjugated molecules that can
be excreted through normal pathway ( through
urine and feces)
8. Rule of thumb
If jaundice is pathological then phototherapy
should be started only when the bilirubin level is
more than 5 times of birth weight.
E.g. birth weight of new born: 4 kg
Then, 4 X 5 = 20 mg/dl
9. PURPOSE
To support the care of babies with
hyperbilirubinemia.
To decrease infant serum bilirubin levels.
To maintain phototherapy treatment safely and
effectively.
To minimize infant-maternal separation and
facilitate breastfeeding.
12. LIGHTS USED IN
PHOTOTHERAPY
Micro White Halogen lights
They deliver light via a quartz halogen bulb and have
a tendency to become quite hot so should not be
positioned closer to the infant than the manufacturers
recommendations of 52cm. The lights can continue to
be bright despite having low irradiance levels.
Fluoro- 2 Blue and 2 White Fluorescent lights
The fluorescent blue tubes must have the serial
number F20T12/BB or TL52/20W to be special
phototherapy lights. Blue light is the most effective
light for reducing the bilirubin.
13. CONT…
Ohmeda Biliblanket - Blue Halogen light
This uses a halogen bulb directed into a fiberoptic
mat. There is a filter that removes the ultraviolet and
infrared components and the eventual light is a blue-
green colour. Biliblankets are not to be used on
infants less than 28 weeks gestation or infants with
broken or reduced skin integrity.
Blue Fluorescent light
A blue fluorescent tube is fitted into a plastic crib with
a stretched plastic cover over the top for the baby to
lie on
15. PHOTOTHERAPY TECHNIQUES
Perform hand wash.
Place baby naked in cradle or incubator.
Fix eye shades & genital area.
Keep baby at least 45 cm from lights,if using closer
monitor temperature of baby.
Start phototherapy.
Frequent extra breast feeding every 2 hourly.
Turn baby after each feed.
Temperature record 2 to 4 hourly.
Weight record- daily.
Monitor urine frequency.
Monitor bilirubin level.
18. MECHANISM OF
PHOTOTHERAPY
Blue-green light in the range of 460-490 nm is
most effective for phototherapy. The absorption of
light by the normal bilirubin (4Z,15Z-bilirubin)
generates configuration isomers, structural
isomers, and photooxidation products. The 2
principal photoisomers formed in humans are
shown. Configurational isomerization is reversible
and much faster than structural isomerization.
Structural isomerization is slow and irreversible.
Photooxidation occurs more slowly than both
configurational and structural isomerization.
Photooxidation products are excreted mainly in
urine.
19. Nursing care of phototherapy
SKIN CARE
Keep the infant clean and dry.
Clean only with water. Do not apply oils or creams
to the exposed skin.
Eucerin has been proven to be safe for use when
the infant is receiving phototherapy.
Infants nursed in nappies where the buttocks are
not exposed may have zinc and castor oil applied to
areas of skin excoriation.
20. Cont…
OBSERVATION
All infants in Newborn Care receiving phototherapy
should have a temperature, pulse and respiration
rate documented 4 hourly & prevent dehydration.
If an infant requires continuous cardiorespiratory
monitoring for other reasons, then, this should
continue whilst under phototherapy
EYE CARE
Eye pads should be removed 4 hourly and eye
cares attended with normal saline. •
There have never been human studies showing that
retinal damage occurs from with phototherapy.
21. FLUID REQUIREMENTS
Accurately document fluid intake (oral or
intravenous) and output.
Urinalysis and specific gravity should be checked 8
hourly.
Assess and record stools.
Breast fed infants should continue on demand
breast feeds.
Bottle fed infants should be fed on demand 4-6th
hourly.
The daily fluid rate may need to be increased by
10ml-15ml/kg/day to prevent dehydration.
Cont…
22. SIDE EFFECTS OF
PHOTOTHERAPY
Increased insensible water loss.
Loose stools.
Intestinal absorption of water, NaCl and k+ is impaired.
Skin rash.
Due to phototherapy lights
Bronze baby syndrome.
Increase porphyrins due to cholestasis leads to increase in copper
level in serum and liver. This can resolves in 3 days.
Hyperthermia .
It can occur due to phototherapy lights.
Upsets maternal baby interaction.
May result in hypocalcemia
Increased calcium excretion leads to decrease in total ionized
calcium level of neonates.
Phototherapy leads to pineal secretion of melatonin causing
hypocalcemia
23. Riboflavin deficiency
LONG TERM COMPLICATIONS
PDA: photons acts on heart muscles leading to
vasodilation and relaxation of cardiac muscles
