Abstract:

Background: Anemia is a common problem in childhood, especially children aged 6months to 24 months old. In Bangladesh overall, 68 % of children aged 6-59 months are anemic. Anemia impairs normal development, decreases physical exercise tolerance & intellectual performance in children which may lead to a slowdown of growth in children. It constitutes a major public health problem in young children in the developing world with wide social & economic implications.Objective: To see the prevalence of anemia among hospitalized children aged 6 months to 36 months.Methodology: Children 6 month

Abstract:

Under nutrition in infants is a critical public health concern with far-reaching consequences on child growth and development, particularly during the crucial first six months of life(1). This formative period lays the foundation for future health outcomes and any disruption in adequate nutrition can lead to a host of long-term issues, including stunted growth, compromised immune function, and impaired cognitive development(2). According to the Black et al. (2008) study, these factors are responsible for approximately 2.2 million deaths annually and contribute to 21% of disability-adjusted lif

Breastmilk is the only recommended source of nutrition for infants below six months of age. However, a significant proportion of children are either on supplemental breastfeeding (SBF) or weaned due to the early introduction of solid/semi-solid/soft food and liquids (SSF) before six months of age. There is good evidence that exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) in infants below six months of age protects them from preventable illnesses, including malnutrition.

Major ablative hepatic resection is often indicated in children with solid liver tumors, and reduction of operative blood transfusion is a primary goal. Total hepatic occlusion (THO) is an effective method that is well established in adults, yet its role in children is less well described.
