Etiopathogenesis is attributed to abnormal dopamine regulation which is influenced by both genetic (genes encodingdopamine-DRD4, DRD5, and DAT1) and environmental factors. Micronutrients such as iron and Vitamin D play imperative roles in neurologic function, neurotransmitter synthesis, and regulation. Aim: The aim of the study was to study the association between Serum Vitamin D and Serum Ferritin levels in children with ADHD. Materials and Methods: This case–control study was conducted in the outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital, from October 2019 to May 2021. Subjects (n=30) included patients with the diagnosis of ADHD (using child behavior checklist and INDT–ADHD). Healthy children of the comparable age group were taken as controls. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software version 22. Results: The mean value of serum ferritin levels in cases was observed to be 32.55±31.97 ng/ml and in controls was 143.43±260.40 ng/ml. The study found a significant difference in the mean value of serum ferritin levels in cases and controls (p?0.024). No significant difference in the mean value of serum Vitamin D in cases and controls (p–0.229) was noted. Conclusions: An association between low levels of serum ferritin and ADHD was seen.

Materials and Methods: This is a prospective observational hospital-based study done in the Department of Pediatrics in a tertiary teaching institute from October 2019 to September 2020. 75 children who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Children were managed according to the WHO protocol. SST was used to establish breastfeeding in cases of lactation failure. Results: A total of 75 infant’s up to 6 months of age were enrolled. Most infants presented at the age of 2–4 months (42.67%). The male-female ratio was 1.2:1. 50 (66.67%) mothers were illiterate and 65 (82.67%) belonged to the lower socioeconomic status. A history of preterm birth and low birth weight (LBW) was found in 54 (72%) and 62 (82.67%) infants, respectively. Exclusive breast feed was given to 13.33% while top feeding given to 86.6% of infants. With proper management target weight was achieved in 53 (70.66%) infants. Most infants stayed from 11 to 20 days (79.37%). Lactation was re-established in 60.46% of children who tried the supplement suckling technique. Conclusion: Lack of awareness regarding adequate infant feeding practices and illiteracy is an important factor for the high prevalence of malnutrition. SST is an effective way in reestablishing breastfeeding in lactational failure. Proper counseling and education of the mother by health-care professionals can help in improving exclusive breastfeeding rate.","PeriodicalId":22476,"journal":{"name":"The Indian journal of child health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83038758","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}

Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study done in Coimbatore for 2 years. Using a pre-tested structured validated tool, mothers of children aged 6 months–2 years were interviewed to collect information on factors contributing to anemia with special regard to maternal knowledge. Results: Anemia was more in the latter half of infancy (67.2%) with male predominance (60.5%). An affirmative association between increased cow’s milk intake and low hemoglobin was present (p=0.002). Employed and less educated mothers had more anemic children (p<0.05). Of 16% mothers classified as “poor” awareness, 95.45% children had low hemoglobin (p<0.05). Conclusion: Recognizing the causative factors plays an essential role in preventing iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Exclusive breastfeeding must be promoted, along with avoiding excessive cow’s milk intake. Intervening at the right period with age-appropriate foods becomes a necessity. Maternal illiteracy has a positive correlation with anemia in infants. Improving maternal awareness by the physicians will pave the road toward a nation free from anemia.","PeriodicalId":22476,"journal":{"name":"The Indian journal of child health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82402800","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}

On the same lines, an attempt had been made to device a criteria to exclude diagnosis of asthma. The criteria are labeled as other than asthma (OTA) criteria. It is assumed that if a case does not satisfy OTA tool, then it is likely to be asthma. This study had objectives of validation of screening tool by expert and validation of OTA tool by direct application on patients. Materials and Methods: This was an observational and prospective study only. Total 120 cases were enrolled. Questionnaire applied on all cases and all of the 120 cases were followed up on day 30 with clinical diagnosis and were included in results estimation. Results: According to the screening tool, out of 120 cases, 83 cases (69.2%) were found to have OTA while 37 cases (30.8%) werefound to have non-OTA. However, among this study population, 94 cases (78.3%) had non-asthma and 26 cases (21.7%) had clinical diagnosis of asthma taken as gold standard. The association between clinical diagnosis and total score based diagnosis was found to bestatistically significant (p=1.96E-07). Sensitivity was 91.57% and specificity was 51.35% which helps detect OTA cases effectively. Predictive value of positive test is 80.85% and predictive value of negative test was 73.08%. OTA category has relative risk of 3.003 for diagnosis of non-asthma as compared to 0.262 for non-OTA category being almost 3 times in comparison to non-OTA category. Thus, OTA was consistent with non-asthma diagnosis. Conclusion: On direct application of patients in prospective study, this tool has proven its value as an effective screening tool. This was the first such study to diagnose asthma by exclusion, devising a criterion for other than asthma conditions.","PeriodicalId":22476,"journal":{"name":"The Indian journal of child health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84132024","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}
