1. Infancy is the shortest but most critical developmental period, spanning from birth until the infant can regain birth weight and the umbilical cord falls off.
2. During infancy, infants undergo radical adjustments to life outside the womb, including changes in temperature, breathing, eating, elimination and more.
3. The infancy period is both physically and psychologically hazardous, with risks including difficult births, prematurity, postnatal care, and parental attitudes.

India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

infant has regained the weight loss after
birth.
Psychological criteria - completed when the
infant begins to show signs of

ability to follow moving objects occurs during
the first week of life (horizontal movement
first then vertical movements.
Hearing improves within the first three or four
days after birth as the amniotic fluid drains
from the middle ear.
Cells for smell are well developed at birth.
Infant’s sense of taste is keen.
Sensitivity to hunger is fully developed at
birth and hunger contractions occur within the
first day of life. Thirst also appears then.
Sense organ for touch, pressure and
temperature are well developed at birth and
lie close to the surface of the skin.

difficult births are believed to result in
“difficult children”
Helplessness – it may be appealing
while, to most, it is frightening. Parents
wonder of they are capable of
assuming the care of their newborn,
and this, in turn, makes them nervous
and anxious.
Individuality of the Infant – to most
adult, being difficult is interpreted as

concern to parents and, as such,
affects the way they handle the
infant’s needs
Plateau in Development – makes
parents believe their infant is delicate
and requires extra care, attention
and over protectiveness; weakens
parents’ confidence in the ability to
assume full care of the infant;
deprive the infant on one of the
essentials of development, the
stimulation of the different areas of

they cause the children
embarrassment or sometimes even
humiliation, if their friends think their
