Genital infection due to Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis) is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) which may present as PID, leading to ectopic pregnancy, infertility or other adverse health outcomes. This study was done to assess the prevalence of C. trachomatis infections among female patients with infertility using real time PCR (RT-PCR) and to compare the findings of molecular testing with hysterosalpingography (HSG) and ultrasonography (USG).Material and methods: 50 endocervical swabs were collected from women of reproductive age group attending infertility clinic and stored at -80 ºC. DNA extraction was done with Helini bacterial mini spin kit and tested for C. trachomatis DNA by RT-PCR kit.Results: Of the 50 patients, 43 (86%) had primary infertility, and 7 (14%) had secondary infertility. Three (6%) were positive for C. trachomatis by RT-PCR. Two had primary infertility and one had secondary infertility.Conclusion: Routine screening of C. trachomatis even in high-risk populations is not available in developing countries like India. The World Health Organization recommends syndromic approach for case management. Hence, a cost-effective, highly sensitive and specific test is the pressing priority in resource poor settings.","PeriodicalId":73842,"journal":{"name":"Journal of mother and child","volume":"27 1","pages":"102-106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10578464/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41241823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both ongoing disease-related inflammatory processes and chronic transfusions lead to iron overload, which is depicted by hyperferritinemia. We aimed to report the prevalence of various dermatological manifestations in beta-thalassemia major patients and their relationship with serum ferritin levels.Material and methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted over a period of six months. Beta-thalassemia major patients were consecutively enrolled and examined by a dermatologist who charted any skin conditions, if present. A blood sample was also taken at the same time to check for the serum ferritin levels. Data was analysed using SPSSv25.Results: A total of 113 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the cohort was 9.32 ± 4.54 years. The mean ferritin level for the cohort was 3334 ± 1676 micrograms per litre. Cutaneous manifestations were seen in 89.4% (n = 101) patients with the common ones namely xerosis (44.2%), freckles (39.8%) and pruritus (44.2%). We noted that serum ferritin levels were significantly higher in those with freckles (p = 0.00288). The cause of pruritus does not appear to be jaundice (p = 0.973). Lastly, number of skin conditions were higher in those with onset of blood transfusions at age less than one year (p = 0.0011).Conclusion: Dermatological manifestations are a frequently encountered problem in beta-thalassemia major patients. It is important to examine these patients for various skin disorders periodically as this can help improve their quality of life and reduce dermatological-associated morbidity.","PeriodicalId":73842,"journal":{"name":"Journal of mother and child","volume":"27 1","pages":"142-146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10560103/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41159395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pathogenetic mechanisms of the development and progression of viral hepatitis B infection, the presence of occult poorly diagnosed form, the impossibility of completely eliminating the virus and the specificity of the immune response in children are still not fully solved scientific problems.Material and methods: The aim of this review is to examine current strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic hepatitis B in children, based on international and national guidelines.Results: A detailed analysis of modern guidelines on the course and pathogenesis of viral hepatitis B infection confirms the fact that chronic hepatitis B is characterised by a complex interaction between the immune system of the virus and the patient, whose dynamic balance is not only responsible for the various phases of chronic viral hepatitis B infection but also leads to the result of antiviral treatment.Conclusion: Despite the introduction of vaccination of children against hepatitis B, the level of viral hepatitis B vaccination of children in Ukraine remains insufficient, which leads to the further spread of the infection. Currently available antiviral drugs can provide functional treatment of viral hepatitis B infection in a limited number of patients, but today's Ukrainian realities have caused a change in approach to the treatment and monitoring of patients, which may negatively affect the implementation of the key goals of the World Health Organization Global Strategy on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of viral hepatitis.","PeriodicalId":73842,"journal":{"name":"Journal of mother and child","volume":"27 1","pages":"134-141"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10478681/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10168357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to compile the evidence published in the last decade regarding the variation in maternal serum activins, inhibin- and follistatin-related proteins in preeclamptic pregnancies compared to healthy pregnancies, and to discuss their role in predicting and understanding the pathophysiology of preeclampsia.Material and methods: A scoping review was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE and LILACS databases to identify studies published within the last ten years (2012-2022).Results: Thirty studies were included. None of the studies addressed maternal serum changes of isoforms different from activin A, inhibin A, follistatin, and follistatin-like 3. Sixteen studies evaluated the potential of these isoforms in predicting preeclampsia through the area under the curve from a receiver operating characteristic curve.Conclusions: In preeclampsia, inhibin A is upregulated in all trimesters, whereas activin A increases exclusively in the late second and third trimesters. Serum follistatin levels are reduced in women with preeclampsia during the late second and third trimesters. However, changes in follistatin-like 3 remain inconclusive. Inhibin A and activin A can potentially serve as biomarkers of early-onset preeclampsia based on the outcomes of the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Further investigations are encouraged to explore the feasibility of quantifying maternal serum levels of activin A and inhibin A as a clinical tool in early preeclampsia prediction.","PeriodicalId":73842,"journal":{"name":"Journal of mother and child","volume":"27 1","pages":"119-133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10438925/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10152624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, volumes of blood submitted for cultures often do not match the recommended values. We propose a simple intervention aimed to verify the volume of blood sampled using a scale. This study was undertaken in preparation for a future, multicenter, pre- and post-intervention trial. Our primary objective was to test the feasibility (uptake and retention) of this future intervention.Materials and methods: This study was conducted at a neonatal department in Warsaw, Poland, over a period of eight months (May to December 2020). Before starting the study, we undertook an educational intervention focused on obtaining adequate blood volumes for culture. The culture bottles that were weighed in advance were distributed in all blood collection areas. Blood volume was verified by weighing the bottle immediately after blood inoculation. The calculated value was communicated to the collecting clinician and recorded. The primary outcome measure was the percentage of blood culture submissions for which the blood volume inoculated into the bottles was determined by weighing.Results: During the study period, 244 blood samples were collected for culture, out of which 205 samples were weighed (84.0%, CI95 [78.8% to 88.4%]). This high proportion remained stable throughout the study period. We have not observed any adverse events related to the study.Conclusions: The point-of-care verification of blood culture volume using a scale was feasible to implement.
