Many research studies have been conducted to establish the signs, symptoms, corresponding effects of malnutrition on child health, growth, and development. Objective: The objective of the current study is to find a difference in grading of Ankle reflex between children with Protein Energy Malnourishment (PEM) and normal healthy subjects. This will help draw a conclusive relationship between hyporeflexia and PEM. Methods: The study design is an observational case-control type of study conducted in two teaching hospitals in India. Cases of PEM (n = 30), children with Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) <12.5 and weight for height Z score (WHZ) score of lesser than -2 along with control group of normal healthy children (n = 30), all aged between 1 and 5 years were selected for the study. Ankle reflexes were noted using a simple knee hammer on 3 consecutive days of cases and control group, graded based on the NINDS Reflex Grading Scale to determine any differences between cases and controls. Results: A Chi-square test was performed and a P value result of 0.002 was obtained rejecting the null hypothesis which states that there is no relation between ankle reflex grades and presence of malnutrition. Conclusion: A conclusion could be drawn where a significant association was observed between lower ankle reflex grades and cases of PEM as compared to those noted in the control group. The Achilles Tendon reflexes obtained from cases was significantly reduced. Eliciting the Deep Tendon reflexes and drawing a relation with PEM children can be used as an initial diagnosis for neurological deficits associated with PEM.","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":"87000415","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}

All direct antiglobulin test (DAT)-positive children were included in the study and those DAT negative were excluded from the study. The details regarding clinical condition, laboratory parameters, history of previous transfusion, difficulties related to cross-matching, requirement of steroid, and intensive care management were documented. Results: A total of 29 children were diagnosed to have AIHA. The most common clinical feature at diagnosis was fever (72.4%) followed by pallor (51.7%). Cross-matching was difficult for 9 children (31%) due various incompatibilities. Ten children required intensive care. Secondary causes were identified in 25 cases. Mortality was 10%. Conclusion: Identifying secondary causes of pediatric AIHA are essential and larger data from multiple centers will contribute toward creating the best clinical approach and emergency management of children with AIHA.","PeriodicalId":22476,"journal":{"name":"The Indian journal of child health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83299774","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 is not an uncommon clinical presentation in children. The etiopathology of vertigo in children is different from that of the adult age group. It is often not easy to evaluate this symptom in pediatric age group. In most cases, the children do not express their symptoms in detail and so clinicians cannot obtain adequate history and determine their exact etiology for vertigo. The benign paroxysmal vertigo is a common etiology in younger children, whereas the vestibular migraine is responsible for vertigo in majority of older children. Hence, pediatricians, otorhinolaryngologists, physicians, and neurologists often face difficulty in establishing the appropriate diagnosis of vertigo in children. The diagnosis of vertigo in children includes a detailed history, clinical examination, complete neurological examination, and audiological assessment. The treatment of vertigo in children includes the treatment of appropriate etiology. The prognosis of vestibular function recovery in children is often variable and unpredictable. Imaging such as computed tomography scans or magnetic resonance imaging is done in selected cases. The objective of this review article is to familiarize the readers with these complex disorders of children and with the current protocols in their management.","PeriodicalId":22476,"journal":{"name":"The Indian journal of child health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89526415","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}

Increasing mobile technology penetration in rural areas can influence IYCF practices. Aims: This study aims to assess IYCF practices among mothers of children under 5, in a rural maternity hospital in Ramanagara district and its association with the use of various mass media including internet and smartphones. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 89 mothers and a pre-tested face-validated semi-structured interview schedule was administered to collect information regarding sociodemographic details, IYCF practices, and use of media. Results: The mean age of the study population was 23.84±3.5 years. About 44.9% of them had their last child in the age group of 6–24 months. About 87.6% of them were breastfed within the 1st h of birth. The mean age of starting complementary feeding was 7±2.6 months. About 98.9% had access to a smartphone, however, only 19.1% used WhatsApp videos and messages and 12.3% internet to search for information regarding IYCF practices. Almost all respondents reported health-care providers as their primary source of information regarding IYCF practices. Conclusion: IYCF practices of the study population were better than national average. These findings highlight the importance of the role of grassroot level workers and primary care physicians in imparting knowledge among mothers in IYCF practices. The scope of using media to bring about behavior change communication in this context can be explored.","PeriodicalId":22476,"journal":{"name":"The Indian journal of child health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81513583","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 will determine the disease burden and clinicopathological profile of anemia in infants up to 6 months and its correlation with maternal Hb levels. Materials and Methods: A 4-month hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in all infants under the age of 6 months and their mothers admitted to the pediatric ward of a tertiary health care center in the Sub-Himalayan region. Results: About 42% of infants (up to 6 months of age) and 64% of mothers were found to be anemic. It was found that mothers of 74% of total anemic infants were also anemic. Furthermore, in 79% cases mothers with good ferritin stores (?12 ng/ml) also have infants with good ferritin levels (?10 ng/ml). It was found that mothers who have not consumed adequate amount of iron in their pregnancy, 44% of them have anemic infants. Despite the fact that the association between newborn and maternal characteristics is not statistically significant, the results are noteworthy, indicating the need for a more comprehensive investigation to determine the relationship. Conclusion: High rates of anemia in early life point to the need of multicentric as well as population-based study so that we can collect evidence to start iron prophylaxis in this highly vulnerable developing age group of 0–6 months. Further higher rates of anemia in mothers warrant the strengthening in the implementation plan of iron and folic acid supplementation to all females of reproductive age group.","PeriodicalId":22476,"journal":{"name":"The Indian journal of child health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74851678","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}
