Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 100 term neonates (61 males and 39 females) admitted to Neonatal intensive care unit of Shri B M Patil Medical College and Hospital, Vijayapura, Karnataka with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia and requiring phototherapy. Total Serum bilirubin levels and serum calcium levels were checked before and after phototherapy. Neonates were assessed for clinical features of hypocalcemia i.e. jitteriness, irritability/excitability, lethargy and convulsions. Results: After phototherapy, there was hypocalcemia in 35.0% neonates. The difference between pre and post phototherapy serum calcium levels were found to be statistically significant (p <0.001). 2.86% of neonates developed jitteriness among those who had hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia was more in subjects who received phototherapy for longer duration. Conclusions: Hypocalcaemia is a common complication of phototherapy. Therefore, calcium supplementation should be done in all neonates undergoing phototherapy.","PeriodicalId":144032,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Paediatrics and Geriatrics","volume":"139 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124559466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It’s a retrospective study of four neonatal cases admitted in Dr. DY Patil Medical College NICU. All four cases are from different localities with sharing of common antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum period. All are preterm with meconium aspiration syndrome. All are presented on day three of life with dark red color vomiting and respiratory distress. All Babies were normal initial three days. Early treatment with IVIG and surfactant were showed rapid clinical improvement in all four cases. SARS-CoV-2 associated MIS-C like the disease has not been well described in neonates.

On examination, she was febrile, with rebound abdominal tenderness and abdominal distension. Ultrasonography reported peritoneal fluid, fibrin strands and complex cystic lesions in the adnexal region. Laparotomy evidenced multiple peritoneal cysts, purulent exudate with bilateral pyosalpinx. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated in culture and confirmed the diagnosis of Peritoneal Tuberculosis. Antituberculous quadruple therapy and corticosteroids were started, with good clinical response. Conclusions: Peritoneal and genital tuberculosis are uncommon in children, but have high fatality and infertility rate. Due to the nonspecific clinical, laboratory or radiology findings, diagnosis is often delayed.

Nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) are released from the foetal bone marrow in response to increased erythropoietin situations of hypoxia. The objectives of the study were to compare the level of nucleated red blood cells between neonates born with meconium stained amniotic fluid (cases) and clear amniotic fluid (controls) and to find out the association between nucleated red blood cells level and poor outcomes among neonates with meconium stained amniotic fluid. Materials and Methods: The study was case control study conducted in neonatology unit of paediatrics department among 50 neonates with meconium stained amniotic fluid as cases and 50 neonates with clear amniotic fluid as controls for a period of 2 years. Informed consent was obtained from each study participant. The data was collected using a pretested semi structured interview schedule and NRBCs level were estimated using 2 ml umbilical cord blood collected from each study participant. The data collected was entered into excel sheet and analysed using SPSS version 23. Results: The NRBCs among the cases was found to be more than among the controls and the difference was statistically significant. The mean NRBCs level were found to be more among those with poor Cry/Suck/Activity. The mean NRBCs level among those who had received oxygen support was more than those who had not received any. Similarly, among those who expired the mean NRBCs level was more. Conclusion: To conclude increased NRBCs level among the neonates with meconium stained amniotic fluid could indicate poor outcome. .","PeriodicalId":144032,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Paediatrics and Geriatrics","volume":"332 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123326982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the National Family Health Survey III of India, 70% of children were anemic. In India 81% of infants between 6 and 9 months of age become anemic most due to iron deficiency. In term infants, a brief delay in clamping the umbilical cord after birth results in higher concentrations of hemoglobin (HB) and hematocrit during the neonatal period, increased serum ferritin levels and a lower incidence of iron-deficiency anemia at 4-6 months of age. This study is conducted to compare the effect of delayed cord clamping or umbilical cord milking to early cord clamping on neonatal hematological status at 48 hours of age in term neonates born in GEMS and Hospital, Ragolu, Srikakulam.Materials and methods: The study was conducted in the labor room, obstetrics operation theatre and post natal ward of GEMS and Hospital, Ragolu, Srikakulam during November 2019 to May 2021. The newborn babies were divided into 3 groups of each 55.Group 1: Early cord clamping at 30 sec after birthGroup 2: Delayed cord clamping at 60 sec after birth.Group 3: Cord milking in 10-15 sec after birth.- In our hospital cord clamping is done as early as possible, within 30 sec.- In this study delayed cord clamping was done at 60 sec after birth because maximum placental transfusion, up to 50-75%, occurs by 1min after birth.- Cord milking was done by milking of the unclamped cord towards the umbilicus 4 times in 10-15 seconds followed by clamping and cutting of the cord.All the newborn babies received the same care. At 48hours of age the hemoglobin levels were tested.Results: Total of 165 term babies were included in the study, divided into three groups (early cord clamping, delayed cord clamping and cord milking).There were 55 babies in each group. The mean haemoglobin at 48 hours of life was 17.192±1.86 g/dl in the early cord clamping group, 19.623±1.45 g/dl in the delayed cord clamping group and 19.635±1.45 g/dl in the cord milking group. Milking the umbilical cord four times before clamping and cutting the cord or Delayed clamping of the cord by 60 seconds after delivery showed higher mean haemoglobin levels at 48 hours of life compared to early clamping.Conclusions: We conclude that both delayed cord clamping and cord milking resulted in significantly higher neonatal hemoglobin at 48 hours of life as compared to early clamping with no adverse outcomes.","PeriodicalId":144032,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Paediatrics and Geriatrics","volume":"442 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131572374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
