Abstract:
Background: Touch is crucial for optimal growth and development of preterm babies. Gentle human touch is considered as a complementary treatment to spur their growth and development.Objective: To determine the effect of Gentle Human Touch on weight gain, body temperature and pulse rate stability in preterm babies.Methods: This was a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) with pretest-posttest with control group. Thirty nine respondents were selected by consecutive sampling, assigned into 2 treatment groups and 1 control group. Data were analyzed using MANOVA .Results: The results showed that there was statistically significant difference in body weight (p 0.047), body temperature (p 0.021), and pulse rate stability (p 0.001) in preterm babies. Conclusion: Gentle Human Touch therapy twice a day is more effective in improving body weight, body temperature, and pulse rate stability in premature babies. It is recommended that gentle human touch be applied as an operational standard for premature baby care.

Abstract:
The evolution of perinatology and the progress of advanced methods of prenatal diagnosis have contributed to the rise of frequency of birth and survival of newborns with very low birth weight, born before 32 weeks of pregnancy. A three-tier perinatology care system in Poland, an increasingly outstanding knowledge of neonatologists, and newer and more advanced equipment for critical care therapy, all provide growingly safer conditions for the life and development of prematurely born children. Prematurity is not only a problem of the preterm baby, but poses a challenge for the family, notably the mother, who must face the challenges of care of the preterm baby. In this article, selected problems of prematurity and care of a preterm baby are presented. The most common causes of preterm birth incidence are reported. The mother’s situation after a preterm birth is defined. Based on the current literature, the profile of preterm babies and the EBM (Evidence-Based Medicine) paradigm, the rules for treatment and care for a preterm baby are presented.

Abstract:
Background: Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) is an acquired condition in which the circumferential muscle of the pyloric sphincter becomes thickened, resulting in elongation and obliteration of the pyloric channel. HPS is the most common gastrointestinal disease in the first few weeks of life. Case presentations: Two patient: a girl, 2 month old (aterm baby) and a boy, 2 months old (preterm baby) with diagnosis moderate dehydration ec vomiting, suspect HPS. Both patient got recurrent vomiting since 1 week before admission, and got dehydration, The vomiting was projectile, occuring after the patient was drink the formula milk. We found the olive sign in both patients, but it was not an obligation we should find olive sign, because it just found in 70% patients of HPS. In these patients were found sunken eyes, and slow return turgor that indicating dehydration. Patients were got Ultrasonography and planned for barium meal examination and Ph monitoring. These patients was undergone pyloromyotomi for definite therapy. After surgery preterm baby was still vomiting for 2-3 days in preterm baby, but not in aterm baby. Conclusion: HPS in preterm baby got more complications after surgery than aterm baby, such as: longer length of stay, reflux post operative.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to to explore mothers experience in caring for preterm infants who had been treated in the NICU in Bengkulu. This study used a qualitative design with in depth interviews using open ended questions as a guide. The study was conducted in a patients home in a fairly comfortable space. The sample consisted of five mothers. Data were analyzed using Collaizi method. The results obtained are six themes, namely the mothers description of the characteristics of preterm infants, the cause of preterm birth, the mothers experience in preterm baby care at home, the support the mother receives in preterm infant care, mothers self-coping in the care of preterm infants and reactions mother during caring for preterm baby. The conclusion that can be taken is that mothers experience in caring for preterm baby who had been treated in NICU room of Bengkulu City should be able to pay attention to some obstacles or challenges that need to be considered during home treatment. In general, the mother is able to pass a period of sadness and grief in treating preterm infants or low birth weight. Keywords:Phenomenology, Mothers Experience,Preterm.

Abstract:
Being born very preterm is associated with later deficits in lung function and an increased rate of respiratory symptoms compared with term-born children. The rates of early respiratory infections are higher in very preterm-born subjects, which may independently lead to deficits in lung function in later life. As with very preterm-born children, deficits in lung function, increased respiratory symptoms and an increased risk of respiratory infections in early life are observed in late ­preterm-born children. However, the rates of respiratory symptoms are lower compared with very preterm-born children. There is some evidence to suggest that respiratory outcomes may be improving over time, although not all the evidence suggests improvements. Male sex appears to increase the risk for later adverse respiratory illness. Although not all studies report that males have worse long-term respiratory outcomes than females. It is essential that preterm-born infants are followed up into childhood and beyond, and that appropriate treatment for any lung function deficits and respiratory symptoms is prescribed if necessary. If these very preterm-born infants progress to develop chronic obstructive airway disease in later life then the impact, not only on the individuals, but also the economic impact on healthcare services, is immense.Educational aimsTo report the effect of the sex of the preterm baby on respiratory outcomes.To explore the short- and long-term respiratory outcomes of preterm birth.

Abstract:
AbstractInguinal hernias in children occur with a prevalence ranging from 3 to 5%. The likelihood of a symptomatic patent processus vaginalis is significantly higher in preterms, as reported by most series. As a consequence, inguinal hernia represents the most common condition requiring surgical repair in the neonate and preterm baby. Surgery aims at avoiding and preventing intestinal and gonadal lesions related to incarceration. Nonetheless, hernia repair is technically demanding, with a relatively high risk of complications including recurrence and testicular atrophy. This paper will address some of most debated aspect of inguinal hernia management in preterms babies. The authors will discuss anesthesiological implications, available surgical techniques, optimal timing for surgery, and reasons for possible contralateral groin exploration. The authors will also discuss literature evidences and will propose their own behavior to provide an algorithm for the correct management of neonates and ex-preterms with inguinal hernia.

Abstract:
A clinical case report of spontaneous pneumomediastinum in a late-preterm neonate, chest x-ray showing classical “spinnaker sail sign,” which was managed conservatively and had excellent prognosis on conservative management. Respiratory distress in a preterm neonate is a common clinical finding. Common causes include respiratory distress syndrome, transient tachypnea of the newborn, pneumonia, and pneumothorax. Pneumomediastinum is not very common cause of respiratory distress and more so spontaneous pneumomediastinum. We report here a preterm neonate with spontaneous pneumomediastinum who had excellent clinical recovery with conservative management. A male baby was delivered to G3P1A1 mother at 34 + 6 weeks through caesarean section done due to abruptio placenta. Apgar scores were 8 and 9. Maternal antenatal history was uneventful and there were no risk factors for early onset sepsis. Baby had respiratory distress soon after birth with Silverman score being 2/10. Baby was started on oxygen (O2) by nasal prongs through blender 0.5 l/min, FiO2 25%, and intravenous fluids. Blood gas done was normal. Possibility of transient tachypnea of newborn or mild hyaline membrane disease was kept. Respiratory distress increased at 20 h of life (Silverman score: 5), urgent chest x-ray done revealed “spinnaker sign” suggestive of pneumomediastinum, so baby was shifted to O2 by hood with FiO2 being 70%. Blood gas repeated was normal. Baby was managed conservatively on intravenous fluids and O2 by hood. Baby was gradually weaned off from O2 over next 5 days. As respiratory distress decreased, baby was started on orogastric feed, which baby tolerated well and then was switched to oral feeds. Serial x-rays showed resolution of pneumomediastinum. Baby was discharged on day 7 of life in stable condition on breast feeds and room air.

Abstract:
"Kangaroo baby care" or "skin-to-skin contact" describes the practice of holding a preterm infant naked (except for a diaper) between the mother's breasts. The baby's face pokes out of the top of the mother's dress like a baby kangaroo's. Rey and Martinez in Bogota, Colombia1 pioneered the home care of premature infants as small as 1000 g, the mother being taught to hold her baby head-up kangaroo-style to encourage lactation, prevent aspiration, and reduce rejection. Education and motivation of the mother in the care of preterm infants makes obvious sense in the developing world, but kangaroo baby care has also been applied in many developed countries in conjunction with neonatal intensive care rather than as a replacement for incubators and monitors.2-4

Abstract:
The incidence of preterm birth in developing countries is (5% -7%) per 1000 live births and the prevalence of preterm births in Indonesia is (18.5%). Preeclampsia is one of the causes of high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality rates in Indonesia. Preeclampsia generally occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Objective: To determine the relationship of preeclampsia to the incidence of preterm labor and other factors affecting preterm birth. Method: An observational study with a case control design at the Tangerang General Hospital. The total cases were 90 people (mothers gave birth to a single baby at 20-36 weeks 'gestation) and there were 100 controls (mothers gave birth to a single baby at ≥37 weeks' gestation). Univariable, bivariable analysis with Chi Square statistical test at significance level p <0.05, 95% CI. Multivariable analysis with logistic regression models was used to estimate the odds ratio and 95% CI risk of preeclampsia / eclampsia in the incidence of preterm birth. Results: Mothers with mild preeclampsia and preeclampsia had a risk of preterm birth (OR: 3.85; 95% CI: 2.06-6.50) compared to non-preeclampsia. Other factors that influence the incidence of preterm birth are a history of preterm and antenatal care. Conclusion: Mothers with preeclampsia are at risk for preterm birth. The incidence of preterm birth was also influenced by a history of preterm and antenatal care.

Abstract:
Preterm premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) is associated with significant maternal morbidity and perinatal mortality. With an increasing era of infertility, the main interest of an assisted reproductive technology specialist is to increase the take-home baby rate. Here authors present report on the outcomes of prolonged preterm PROM cases facilitated with expectant management. Report is based on the medical records of six women with preterm PROM between 16-31 weeks of gestation who gave their consent to continue the pregnancy. These women were diagnosed with PROM by the litmus test and per speculum examination. Ultrasound scan and clinical investigation, which included complete blood count and C-reactive protein level, were performed in all cases. Prophylactic antibiotics were administered to prevent the infection and increase the latency period. All six babies (100%) were delivered successfully. There was no foetal mortality and maternal morbidity observed. Expectant management in preterm PROM cases can increase the survival rate and hence the take-home baby rate.

Abstract:
Background: Preterm births are still the leading cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. It is a major challenge in the obstetrical health care.Methods: This study was conducted over a period of eight months from September 2016 till April 2017 at a tertiary care hospital. All patients who delivered a live baby before 37 weeks of gestation were included in the study.Results: Present study was conducted on 100 eligible women out of which 7 delivered before 30 weeks but majority of them (55%) delivered after 34 weeks of gestation. In our study, most of the patients (66%) presented in active phase of labor which resulted in preterm birth of baby. The most common risk factor of preterm labor was genitourinary tract infections (34%) followed by Preterm Premature rupture of membranes (22%). Past obstetric history of preterm delivery and abortions also had a significant impact on the present pregnancy outcome.Conclusions: Preterm labour and birth still have a high incidence causing significant neonatal mortality and morbidity as well as economic burden on family and hospital. The causes of preterm birth are multifactorial and modifiable. This incidence can be reduced by early identification of established risk factors, as revisited and reemphasized in our study, with the help of universal and proper antenatal care.
