Universal pre-discharge newborn screening for hyperbilirubinemia has been proposed as a method to screen for risk of developing chronic bilirubin encephalopathy. Aim: To correlate serum bilirubin level by transcutaneous blood and conventional blood sample. Material and Methods: Results: Cord blood Bilirubin level of ≥1.78 mg/dl was taken as cut off value based on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve where it gives best sensitivity and specificity simultaneously. On 3rd day, 5th day and 7th day bilirubin value by both TCB methods are positively correlated with conventional serum Bilirubin value. However, on day 3 and day 7 TCB forehead value had stronger correlation with serum blood than TCB sternum value while on day 5 TCB sternum value had stronger correlation with serum blood than TCB forehead. Conclusion: Trancutaneous bilirubinometer was effective in the estimation of serum bilirubin in term neonates. However, due to insufficient evidence to show the effectiveness of transcutaneous bilirubinomter in preterm neonates, serum bilirubin levels should be confirmed with chemistry analyzer.

Serum 25hydroxy vitamin D is found to be associated with wide range of pulmonary diseases including wheezing in children. Methods: A hospital based case control study was conducted in subdistrict hospital Sarwal Jammu from Feb 2017 to Jan 2019. A total of 86 children under the age of five years attending pediatric OPD for cough with wheezing were enrolled as cases. Equal number of children with similar profile attending immunization centre were enrolled as controls. An informed consent was obtained from all participants. Trained phlebotomist collected venous blood sample for vitamin D levels. Vitamin D deficiency was characterized as per IAP criteria. Results were presented in the form of percentages and odds ratio was calculated as measure of associates. Results: Out of 86 patients with wheezing ,18 (20.9 %) had deficient vitamin D levels and 38 (44.1%) had insufficient vitamin D levels as compared to control group where deficient vitamin D levels were found in 9 (10.4%) patients and insufficient levels were found in 29 (33.72%) children. Conclusions: Study findings revealed a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in children with recurrent wheezing. Prompt management of vitamin D deficiency should be considered among children with wheezing.
