The disease predominantly affects the children. Bronchial asthma is manifested in response to external trigger of allergens. The most important risk factor is atopy, which produces high amount of IgE, the aim of this study is to evaluate serum IgE levels as a marker for the disease activity and study the correlation with the severity of bronchial asthma. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in peadiatrics department of the tertiary care hospital from March 2019 to February 2019. Children between 6-12yrs admitted with clinical features of asthma as per GINA guidelines was included in the study. IgE levels were taken at the time of the initial presentation. Results: The study showed that all the participants 100% who presented with clinical features suggestive of asthma had high IgE levels irrespective of age, sex and severity of asthma. The mean IgE levels in females were more than males. As the severity of asthma increased the mean IgE levels also increased. Conclusion: The study conclude that the IgE levels are independent of age and sex. IgE levels are directly proportional to severity of asthma.","PeriodicalId":144032,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Paediatrics and Geriatrics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127545600","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}

Though gestational age is usually calculated from the date of mother’s last menstrual period this date is not known with certainty in large majority of pregnancy. In others there may be misleading information especially when the menstrual cycle is irregular, when conception is shortly after a previous pregnancy or when the mother was taking oral contraceptives shortly before conception. Hence the need of multiple modalities to confirm the gestational age and the reliability of modalities is a major concern. Our study is undertaken to compare the correlation of gestation age assessment by three methods viz., gestational age assessment by last menstrual period dates, gestational age assessment by last trimester ultrasound and gestational assessment by post-natal assessment of modified Ballard score. This study is a prospective study conducted in a rural medical college hospital. Total of 150 term babies were enrolled in the study. Duration of the study was two years. The gestational age of the neonates was calculated by all 3 methods and the correlation was assessed. The study concluded that the modified Ballard score overestimates the gestational age and the third trimester ultrasound underestimates the gestational age.","PeriodicalId":144032,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Paediatrics and Geriatrics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126910581","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}

More than 33% of the deaths in 0-5 years are associated with malnutrition. Children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) are in danger of death from hypoglycemia, hypothermia, fluid overload, electrolyte imbalances. Hence, biochemical profile in these children is important for management. Objectives: The aim of this study is to describe the biochemical profile of children with severe acute malnutrition. Methods: This hospital based observational study was conducted on children with Severe Acute Malnutrition. Children were tested for biochemical parameters like complete blood counts with peripheral smear, C-Reactive protein, Blood glucose, renal function tests, serum electrolytes, calcium. Results: Among the study participants, 35 (46.7%) were anemic. CRP was Positive in 37, (49.3%) of the study population, Peripheral Smear showing Microcytic picture was present in 33, (44.0%) of the study population. Hypocalcaemia was present in 15, (20.0%), Hypokalaemia in 21, (28.0%) and Hyponatremia in 3, (4.0%). Elevated Urea was present in 34, (44.0%) and Elevated Creatinine in 30, (40.0%). Random Blood Sugar showed Hypoglycemia among 19, (25.3%). Conclusion: The observations in this study confirm a significant association between severe acute malnutrition and abnormalities in biochemical parameters. Many of these children had abnormal biochemical parameters like anemia, hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, hypoglycaemia.","PeriodicalId":144032,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Paediatrics and Geriatrics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125016196","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}

There are reports of bilirubin induced brain damage occurred in healthy term infants even without haemolysis and the sequalae could be serious. Aim of the study was to predict the development of Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia at birth using Cord Serum Albumin as a risk indicator.Material and Methods: Observation study was performed on 348 healthy term new-borns. Cord blood was collected from the healthy term new-borns delivered either vaginally or caesarean section for cord serum albumin level measurements. Total serum bilirubin and direct serum bilirubin were measured during 72-96 hours of life with serum sampling of peripheral venous blood. Newburn was assessed clinically daily for Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia or for any other complication during the study period. Results: Study cohort is grouped into Group1, Group2 and Group 3 based on Cord Serum Albumin level 2.8g/dl, 2.9-3.3g/dl and 3.4g/dl, respectively. In these groups, new-borns with total serum bilirubin level 17mg/dl after 72 hours are taken as Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia, requiring interventions like phototherapy or exchange transfusion. Conclusion: There is a correlation between Cord serum albumin level and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in healthy term new-borns. Cord serum albumin level of 2.8 g/dl can predict the development of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.","PeriodicalId":144032,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Paediatrics and Geriatrics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126677234","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 children, sepsis is a leading cause of death. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic efficacy of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) in pediatric patients with suspected septicemia. Material and Methods: This retrospective study included 125 pediatric patients aged 0-12 years, comprising a sepsis group (n=75) and a control group (n=50). Demographic data, presenting symptoms, vital signs on presentation, and laboratory results, including CRP and ESR levels, were recorded and analyzed. Results: Mean CRP levels were significantly higher in the sepsis group than in the control group. Similarly, mean ESR was higher in the sepsis group. Both parameters correlated with the severity of symptoms and aberrant vital signs on presentation. Conclusion: Both CRP and ESR showed significant elevation in pediatric septicemia, with CRP appearing more accurate and reliable. Further large-scale, prospective studies are needed to validate these findings and establish standardized cut-off levels for these biomarkers in diagnosing pediatric sepsis.","PeriodicalId":144032,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Paediatrics and Geriatrics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127379910","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}
