Newborn mortality is a dynamic process and variations in mortality are observed temporally and seasonally, and also across health facilities. Prior knowledge of mortality burden can enable health system’s readiness in terms of resources allocation and timely intervention, thereby improving the chances of survival of sick newborns admitted in the hospitals. Hence, this study aimed to examine temporal trends of newborn mortality in a Special Newborn Care Unit of Saheed Laxman Nayak Medical College and Hospital (SLNMCH) in Odisha and forecast a short-term monthly projection.The Box-Jenkins approach was used to fit a seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model to the monthly recorded mortality among the hospitalized new borns in the SNCU during 2016-2020. The best-fit model for forecasting was found based on the Akaike Information Criterion.The time-series analysis revealed a modest upward trend in newborn mortality rate among SNCU admitted newborns, with peaks in the late winter and late summer months. The seasonal ARIMA (0,1,1)(1,1,1)12 model offered the best fit for time-series data. This model predicted the monthly percentage of mortality in SNCU admitted newborns in the range of 9% to 35% with respective 95% confidence interval for two years period (2021-2022).SARIMA models are useful for monitoring newborn mortality and provide an estimate of temporal trends and seasonality. The models are helpful for predicting occurrence of mortality in the SNCU of SLNMCH and could be useful for developing early warning systems. It may help in early detection, timely treatment, and prevention of serious complications in admitted sick newborns.","PeriodicalId":30643,"journal":{"name":"PANACEA JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCES","volume":"25 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138999190","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 mean age of subjects was 21.3 months, and no predilection for gender. The global developmental delay was the most common presentation found in seven ACC (87.5%) children. The second commonest, four ACC (50%) patients, was seizure. Two ACC (25%) had colpocephaly. Five ACC children (62.5%) had somatic anomalies; four ACC (50%) patients had cardiac defects.ACC children present a poor neurodevelopmental outcome. The extracallosal brain anomaly determines a worse neurological prognosis in nonsyndromic ACC. Grey matter heterotopia in neuroimaging was associated with seizure in ACC children. However, colpocephaly along with ACC may present with normal neurodevelopment. Hence, ACC in neuroimaging may have not predicted the final neurological outcome.ACC children with normal karyotyping may have somatic malformations.

This proactive approach contributes to safe anaesthesia administration, uneventful intra-operative experiences, and smooth post-operative recovery. Our study assesses the prevalence of diverse co-morbidities within a tertiary care centre's PAC. After analysing data from 3 months involving 905 patients, 624 individuals exhibited co-morbidities, with 217 cases being newly identified within the PAC clinic. Among female patients, anaemia emerged as the most prevalent anomaly (219 cases), while hypertension dominated among male patients (171 cases). Overall, anaemia constituted the most common co-morbidity (362 cases). A comprehensive clinical assessment during the Pre-Anaesthetic Clinic empowers formulation strategies for pre-optimization and treatment of co-morbidities. Timely intervention is pivotal, not only to prevent surgery delays but also to avert potentially catastrophic outcomes arising from untreated conditions. This approach translates into expedited patient recovery, minimizing anaesthesia-related complications. The Pre-Anaesthetic Clinic plays a pivotal role in diagnosing and intervening in patient co-morbidities. Beyond diagnosis, it is a crucial early intervention and treatment platform, significantly enhancing the overall surgical recovery process.","PeriodicalId":30643,"journal":{"name":"PANACEA JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCES","volume":"106 S6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138998904","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}

Previous studies were mainly based on foreign and northern Indian population. Hence the present study.: To measure the morphometric parameters of stapes and compare the same with the previous studies.: This cross sectional observational study, performed on the ear ossicle, stapes obtained from 26 cadaveric heads. A total of (26 x 2) = 52 sets of stapes were taken out for the study. Measurements of various parameters of the ossicles were done with micrometer. Comparison among them with respect to sex, laterality and race were made. Age variation was not considered as the ossicles reach their full size at birth. Statistically significant difference in the total height of stapes was observed between male and female ossicles, but no such disparity was found between ossicles of the two sides. Height of stapes in males (mean: 3.35mm) was found to be significantly higher (p value: 0.00001) as compared to females (mean:3.18mm) in this present study. In surgeries for otosclerosis, the stapes superstructure is removed and replaced by a prosthetic ‘piston’, the selection of which is determined by the distance between the lenticular process of incus and the footplate of stapes, which in turn corresponds to the height of stapes superstructure. This measurement is vital for a properly fit piston and thus to the outcome of the surgery in terms of hearing improvement and lack of complications like expulsion of the piston, intractable vertigo, etc. When the mean values found in this study were compared with those of previous foreign and Indian studies, some of the values were found to be similar. : The height of stapes was shorter in our study as compared to studies based on North Indian population. These differences might point towards geographic or ethnic variations in the stapes which might call for further research work into this topic.","PeriodicalId":30643,"journal":{"name":"PANACEA JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCES","volume":"47 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138996044","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}
