Patients undergoing phototherapy need close follow-up of their serum bilirubin levels to determine the treatment response.Objective: To compare between transcutaneous bilirubin measurements (TCB) from covered skin area during phototherapy and total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels.Study design: This prospective observational study included thirty full-term neonates with indirect hyperbilirubinemia requiring phototherapy. We covered a part of the skin (forehead and sternum) in each neonate by using BiliEclipse photo opaque patch and used this covered site to measure TCB during phototherapy to compare it with TSB. Both TSB and TCB estimation were performed from icteric newborns before, at 24 and 48 hours of exposure to phototherapy Results: There was no significant difference between TSB, forehead TCB and sternum TCB before phototherapy and no significant difference between TSB, covered forehead & sternum TCB at 24 hours and 48hours of starting phototherapy. There was highly significant positive correlation between TSB, covered forehead and sternum TCB during phototherapy. No significant difference in both covered forehead and sternum TCB according to different used TCB devices. Conclusion: Measurement of TCB from covered area of skin during phototherapy using transcutaneous bilirubinmeters is reliable method to assess TSB in full term neonates and could lead to a reduction in blood sampling and its complications.","PeriodicalId":14584,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Neonatology IJN","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87239265","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}

The NICU’s healthy physical environment is crucial for continued normal development of preterm neonates. We aimed to examine the physiological changes (including heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, temperature, and oxygen saturation) induced by noise and ordinary light which often exist in NICUs in a sample of preterm neonates admitted in the growing room due to their low-birth weights.Subjects and methods: This study included 100 preterm neonates, fifty neonates exposed to noise which is often induced in the high-risk NICU and fifty neonates exposed to cyclical light.Results: During noise exposure, neonates in the growing room showed significant increase in the heart rate, respiratory rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure in addition to a significant decrease in oxygen saturation in the first and second days in the NICU. Moreover, neonates exposed to dim light showed significant decrease in the heart rate, respiratory rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure in addition to a significant increase in oxygen saturation compared to those exposed to ordinary light in the first and second days. However, body temperature did not show any significant change with noise or light exposure either in the first day or in the second day. Conclusions: This study showed that the exposure to excessive light and noise was associated with significant changes of vital signs in preterm neonates. In addition, the study highlighted the inadequacy of the current conditions in a sample of Egyptian NICUs for ideal neonatal care. In order to create a favorable environment to help better growth and prevent prematurity complications, more attention to the care conditions of infants in the Egyptian NICUs is recommended.","PeriodicalId":14584,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Neonatology IJN","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84520757","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}

To reduce or prevent maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, an Antenatal Care Visit (ANC) was implemented. ANC visit is the Pregnancy Monitoring which is not only intended to inspect the health of the mother in general including complications of pregnancy, but also to prepare for a well-born baby and a healthy mother. Therefore, adherence to ANC is important. In this case, the study aimed to determine the maternal determinant variables related to adherence to ANC.Method: This study was drawn into a cross-sectional study with an analytical approach. The number of research respondents was 30 pregnant women who are in the third trimester. The research design indicates the correlation between variables. A univariate data was used for the analysis with variables of mother’s age, parity, and pregnancy diagnosis. While the bivariate analysis was performed with Fisher’s exact test. The study was conducted in Slawi Primary Health Centre, Indonesia.Results: The results showed that pregnant women who regularly did ANC are 86.67%. According to maternal determinants, the results show that there is a correlation between ages and ANC because the p-value is 0.02, also the correlation between parity and ANC with p-value 0.04.

The value of breastmilk in reducing the severity of these morbidities have been studied. The use of mothers’ own colostrum early after birth by oropharyngeal route in small frequent doses is suggested to have immunomodulatory effect through OLFAT and possible reduction in morbidities.Objective: The study is a single centre, double blinded randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of oral therapy with colostrum or breast milk on clinical outcomes in preterm babies less than 33 weeks’ gestation. Methods: 48 babies were randomly assigned to receive 0.2 ml of own mother’s colostrum, breast milk; or sterile water by oropharyngeal route every 4 hours, until independent feeding at breast or bottle was achieved. Eligibility included inborn preterm babies less than 33 weeks and below 1500 grams. Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies, congenital viral infection, out born babies, babies of single mothers with unknown partners (mothers were incarcerated based on the country’s laws and breast milk was unavailable), confirmed immunodeficiency disorder, inborn error of metabolism, parental refusal to participate, and preterm babies with overt bleeding.The clinical outcomes studied were NEC, Culture-proven LOS, IVH, ROP, CLD, Jaundice requiring phototherapy, mortality, age at discharge home and length of hospital stay. Results: OIT with colostrum or Breastmilk did not show a statistical improvement in the clinical outcomes between the two groups or length of hospital stay. Conclusion: Oral therapy with colostrum is an alternative method of providing mothers’ milk for neonates who are kept nil per oral that could allow mothers to engage in the infants’ care in the early critical period of their life.","PeriodicalId":14584,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Neonatology IJN","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89800445","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}

The incidence of the PC has been reported to vary from 5.5-7.9 cases per million live births. This anomaly involves diaphragmatic pericardial defects, lower sternal defect, intracardiac anomalies, ventral abdominal wall abnormality, and anterior diaphragmatic defect. Considering the number of presented anomalies, PC is classified into three groups of certain, probable, or incomplete pentalogy. Although the etiology of PC is unknown, it has been assumed that abnormalities in intra embryonic mesodermal differentiation formation and migration at around 14-18 days after conception are responsible for the anomalies observed in PC. The prenatal diagnosis of the PC can be made via prenatal two-dimensional or three-dimensional ultrasound. Case report: This case report investigated an Iranian 2-hour-old full-term neonate who was referred to Imam Reza Hospital, Kermanshah, Iran, due to respiratory distress and abdominal wall defect. The patient was finally diagnosed with a probable PC, although his prenatal investigations were considered normal. Conclusion: Although ultrasonography is a widely available tool for prenatal diagnosis of PC, as in our case, the absence of ectopic heart and omphalocele makes the prenatal diagnosis of PC via ultrasonography less possible.
