Non-compliance to LLIN and IPT, and resultant maternal and cord blood malaria on neonatal age and birth weights were studied in Uyo, Nigeria between September and October 2013. Peripheral and cord blood from 106 consenting pregnant women were examined for malaria parasites; and their usage of LLIN and IPT ascertained. Ages and weights of resulting neonates were recorded at birth. Results showed that maternal and neonatal malaria infection rates (IR) were 54.7% (Mean± SD=49.23±26.41) and

BACKGROUND Hypoglycaemia is one of the most common metabolic problems seen in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). Most cases of neonatal hypoglycaemia are transient and respond readily to treatment and are associated with excellent prognosis. Development of clinical signs and symptoms may be a late sign of hypoglycaemia. Persistent hypoglycaemia may result in possible neurologic sequelae.

Abstract:

Background: Odisha has built 44 special newborn care units to treat severely sick infants at various levels. This study aimed to determine morbidity and mortality profiles among neonates admitted to the SNCUs and extend efforts to improve outcomes by investigating crucial variables. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study on all neonates admitted to SNCUs of 4 districts (Balangir, Kalahandi, Koraput, and Rayagada) between two calendar years (January 2020 and December 2021). We collected data on epidemiology, clinical presentation, and neonatal and maternal characteristics. We

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common cardiac anomaly making 5%-10 % of all congenital heart diseases. The incidence increases in premature, very low birth weight neonates. Transcatheter closure is a standard procedure for treating PDA.However, in pre-term and very low birth weight neonates it presents special problems thus becoming a limitation in performing the procedure.
