This makes it possible to identify situations at risk of congenital rubella and the pregnant women to be offered vaccination in the puerperium. Materials and methods: The Authors analysed rubella test coverage and the immunity status of pregnant mothers between 2010 and 2019, using birth attendance certificates. The factors associated with a susceptibility state to rubella are also analyzed through a multivariate analysis, according to the logistic model. The incidence of congenital rubella syndrome is also estimated. Results: Rubella test coverage on 44,473 pregnant mothers was 99.8%. The average proportion of susceptible subjects was 7.42% (6.5 in Italians, 9.9 in foreigners). The trend of susceptible subjects grows over time. Seroconversion was observed in 7 cases, with 1 confirmed case of congenital rubella. Young age, being a foreigner, residing outside the province of Trento, not being married, having a low level of education and being a primiparous are independent risk factors for a state of susceptibility to rubella in pregnant women. Conclusions: A current information flow such as that guaranteed by the birth attendance certificates allows for monitoring of pregnancy at the population level. In particular, it is also possible to identify women at risk of rubella who should be offered the vaccine before discharge.","PeriodicalId":87313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pregnancy and child health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69485195","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}

Marques","doi":"10.4172/2376-127X.1000383","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4172/2376-127X.1000383","url":null,"abstract":"Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) is the most severe form of primary immunodeficiency. This syndrome is caused by genetic mutations that block the development of T cells. Based on the records from a combined prospective data analysis from the neonatal screening program in the United States of America, the incidence of SCID is approximately 1 in 58,000 infants. The early diagnosis of SCID before any clinical symptom or the occurrence of serious complications is proven to improve the survival rates after the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which is the recommended treatment. This literature review aims at analysing all the advantages and disadvantages of the implementation of SCID testing in the neonatal screening programs. The presentation of SCID, the available screening methods to detect the disease and the cost effectiveness related to the screening are also presented. The search engine used to conduct this review was PubMed. To conclude, the screening method for SCID that quantifies the T-cell receptor excision circles using reverse transcription for real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction is proven to be cost-effective has a sensitivity and specificity of nearly 100% and allows to detect the disease at an early stage, while it still has a good prognosis. This method has already been implemented in some countries with good results. *Corresponding author: Gonçalo Espírito Santo Matos, Abel Salazar Institute of Biomedical Sciences, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, Tel: +351968728278; E-mail: goncaloespiritosantomatos@gmail.com Received: May 24, 2018; Accepted: July 09, 2018; Published: July 16, 2018 Citation: Matos GES, Marques L (2018) Neonatal Screening for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency.

Machado","doi":"10.4172/2376-127X.1000378","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4172/2376-127X.1000378","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Cesarean section is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the world and its rates have been increasing worldwide over the past decades. Despite being a lifesaving procedure in emergent situations, it can be associated with a range of adverse maternal and childhood health outcomes. To date, there is a lack of consistent studies regarding the association between mode of delivery and a child’s neurodevelopment. Objective: The aim of this review is to highlight the possibility of neurocognitive outcomes during childhood and adolescence being affected by the child’s mode of delivery.Method: Literature review based on studies published between 2005 and 2018, available on PubMed. Results: Regarding uncomplicated pregnancies and deliveries most studies found no difference in neurodevelopment according to mode of delivery, apart from nonplanned cesarean, which usually correlates to worse outcomes. In breech presentation, shortterm outcomes of children born vaginally were poorer while long-term neurological outcomes were contradictory. Preterm infants were more commonly associated with adverse neurological outcomes and these varied according to the age at which children were assessed. Considering drug administration during delivery, the long-term neurological effects of children exposed to exogenous oxytocin are not known and transitory neonatal exposure to anaesthetic drugs during delivery probably won’t harmfully influence longterm neurodevelopment. Conclusions: Neurodevelopment is influenced by a vast number of genetic and environmental variables, becoming impracticable to account for all factors that may affect neurocognitive outcomes. Therefore, future investigation is necessary to enlighten if neurodevelopment is in fact associated with mode of delivery or if underlying causes are the real influencers. Thus, when considering mode of delivery, every obstetrical case should be individually analysed, maternal and neonatal risks and benefits should be balanced and common beliefs demystified to help mothers make an informed decision and promote their children’s healthy development.","PeriodicalId":87313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pregnancy and child health","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41871007","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}
