It also enhances their sense of well-being and provides them with a high-quality life. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of BMP on quality of life (QOL) in children with fecal incontinence in Mofid Children’s Hospital in Tehran, Iran from 1 February, 2019 to 1 February, 2020. Methods: The target population of this clinical trial was all individuals with an age range of 4 - 18 years referred to the gastrointestinal and surgical clinic of Mofid Children’s Hospital due to fecal incontinence. A total of 100 subjects with fecal incontinence participated in the study and were randomly divided into two groups of intervention and control. To collect data, two questionnaires, including the Demographic Characteristics Questionnaire and the Quality of Life in Children Questionnaire were used. Results: There was a significant difference between the two groups after the intervention (P < 0.05), indicating that the bowel management training program improved the QOL in children. The results also showed a significant increase in all the related aspects in the intervention group, with the highest increase observed in social (P < 0.001) and physical (P < 0.001) aspects. However, in the control group, the increase was meaningful only in the emotional sense (P = 0.002). Accordingly, the scores in the emotional aspect decreased notably after one month. Conclusions: The BMP is an effective way for treating fecal incontinence and improving the QOL in children. Hence, this program is highly recommended to be carried out in comprehensive gastrointestinal centers.","PeriodicalId":37929,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comprehensive Pediatrics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47537269","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: This prospective cross-sectional study included 80 full-term neonates with confirmed EOS and 80 healthy newborns. All examinations were done 24 hours after birth. Neonatal sepsis (NS) was characterized as a positive blood culture with symptoms of infection. Positive diagnostic indicators, including I/T ratio > 0.2, total leukocytes [WBCs] of either 5109/L or > 15109/L, thrombocytopenia [150,000/mm3], CRP > 1 mg/dL, and procalcitonin >0.5 ng/mL were considered as NS. Results: As the predictors of EOS, the sensitivity of NLR and PLR was 67% and 70%, and their specificity was 99% and 73%, respectively. Also, positive predictive value (PPV) of NLR and PLR was 98% and 72%, respectively. We found a weak correlation between platelets and sepsis, Strong correlation between WBCs and PLR with sepsis, and a moderate correlation among the ratio of immature to total neutrophil counts (I/T ratio), all of which were significant. Besides, concerning NLR with sepsis, we found an inverse correlation between lymphocytes and sepsis. Conclusions: PLR and NLR are important predictive markers for EOS (PPV of NLR and PLR was 98% and 72%, respectively). Moreover, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, high c-reactive protein (CRP), high procalcitonin, and positive blood culture were correlated with the risk of NS.

Objectives: The present study intended to describe the frequency of EBF in infants and its determinants until six months after birth. Methods: This longitudinal study was conducted on 673 mother-newborn pairs visiting obstetrics and gynecology departments of two main hospitals in Zanjan. Information on the frequency of EBF up to six months, socio-demographic and reproductive information, and attitudes of mothers towards breastfeeding was gathered using questionnaires. Data were analyzed using chi-square test and logistic regression in SPSS. Results: The proportion of neonates who were receiving EBF at discharge was 95.7%. The EBF proportions in the second week, the first, fourth, and sixth months were 95%, 88.1%, 80.7%, and 77.3%, respectively. The multivariate analysis of data indicated that living in urban areas (P = 0.02), lower education of mothers (P = 0.008), having more than three years of birth interval (P = 0.006), no experience of breastfeeding in mothers (P = 0.01), no prior decision for breastfeeding in mothers (P < 0.0001), and use of artificial nipples (P = < 0.0001) were independently associated with non-EBF. Conclusions: In this study, despite a high proportion of EBF at discharge, we found that the proportion of EBF reduced during six months. The determinants of non-EBF at six months, including urban and less educated mothers, highlight a need to promote awareness regarding EBF and perform interventions for women at a greater risk for early breastfeeding cessation.","PeriodicalId":37929,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comprehensive Pediatrics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45281353","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}

Objectives: This study investigated the association of serum vitamin D levels in pregnant women and their neonates with the prevalence of EOS. Methods: This case-control study was performed among 50 term/late pre-term neonates admitted to our NICU due to EOS, alongside 50 healthy neonates matched for gestational age range and sex. Maternal and neonatal serum vitamin D levels were measured. The criteria for diagnosing EOS included any/combination of: respiratory, cardiovascular, hemodynamic, neurological, gastrointestinal, body temperature, or metabolic signs. For sepsis cases, CBC, CRP, blood type, blood culture, chest X ray, and in some cases, and CSF analysis and culture were tested. Mothers’ clinical history was collected.

This is exclusively limited to neonates and infants. Often, PIG is diagnosed in the lung biopsy in a short time after birth (usually < 6 months). Most cases of PIG in infants are symptomatic within the first days to weeks of life. PIG expresses itself with diverse clinical symptoms such as tachypnea and hypoxia and may lead to acute respiratory failure in neonates. Case Presentation: In this case report study, we presented a 1.5-year-old boy with the chief complaint of stage 4 clubbing in fingers and toes. Mild chest deformity was observed in his physical exam. No evidence of respiratory and cardiac complications was observed. Initial lab tests and further specific studies were normal. His parents did not mention the history of any diseases in this patient. His chest X-ray (CXR) showed hyperinflated lungs, diffuse bilateral interstitial infiltration, and hazy opacities. Ground glass opacities (GGO) and interlobular septal thickening and cystic changes with reversed halo sign in both lungs were observed in his chest computerized tomography (CT). Finally, pulmonary biopsy showed a high level of glycogen-laden mesenchymal cells in the interstitium of alveoli, and vimentin-positive interstitial infiltration in lung parenchyma confirmed the PIG diagnosis. Conclusions: The new manifestation of PIG, which has been reported in this case, can be beneficial for future diagnoses of PIG.","PeriodicalId":37929,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comprehensive Pediatrics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42534623","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}

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate extubating bundles, including modified SBT, in predicting successful extubation in critically-ill children with planned extubation. Method: This prospective cross-sectional study was based on the collection of data from 150 critically-ill children admitted to the PICU at Minia University Hospital. From January 2019 to June 2020, those children admitted to the PCIU and subjected to mechanical ventilation (MV), and extubation were enrolled. When the clinical team decided a child was ready for extubation based on the extubating bundle, a modified SBT (10 min) was used. It was started with switching to the CPAPPS mode, followed by PS zero, and maintaining the original PEEP for 3 min. Finally, PS was kept at 5 - 8 cm H2O, and the original PEEP was maintained for the remaining 7 min (total period of 10 min). Results: The extubation bundle with modified SBT could predict extubation success with 89% sensitivity and 89.9% positive predictive value (PPV). There were no significant differences in age, weight, gender, and length of intubation between children with failed SBT and those who were successfully extubated. In 41 cases, SBT failure occurred in 3 ‐ 5 min, while nine cases showed failure in 6 ‐ 10 min. Conclusions: Extubation bundle with modified SBT before elective extubation is indicated for children. Guidelines for extubation among critically-ill children are needed to reduce unnecessary exposure to mechanical ventilation's adverse effects. Further multicenter research is required to enhance outcomes and decline the burden of these patients.","PeriodicalId":37929,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comprehensive Pediatrics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48016303","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}
