Aprospective case control study was conducted in Department of Pediatrics, Newborn ward of S.C.B. Medical College & Hospital and SVPPGIP, Cuttack, Odisha from September 2017 to September 2019 by taking 202 newborns having history and clinical features of moderate & severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and they were evaluated for their serum calcium and blood glucose levels. In the present study mean serum calcium level was found to be low in babies with moderate birth asphyxia and severe birth asphyxia as compared to control. Again it was also found to be low in severe birth asphyxia as compared to moderate birth asphyxia. The percentage of hypo calcemic babies was found to be more in babies with moderate birth asphyxia and severe birth asphyxia as compared to control. Again it was also found to be more in severe birth asphyxia as compared to moderate birth asphyxia. In this study percentage of hypoglycemic babies was found to be more in babies with moderate birth asphyxia and severe birth asphyxia as compared to control. Again it was also found to be more in severe birth asphyxia as compared to moderate birth asphyxia. All the comparison was signicant statistically(P<0.05). This study showed that risk of hypocalcemia and hypoglycemia increased with severity of birth asphyxia. The present study showed that survival was more with normal serum calcium level as compared to low serum calcium level (95.5% vs 74.7%) whereas fatal outcome was more with low serum calcium level as compared to normal serum calcium level (22.2% vs 2.3%). Low serum calcium level was associated with more fatal outcome. The difference was statistically signicant as P< 0.05.The present study showed that survival was more with normal blood glucose level as compared to low blood glucose level (92.5% vs 44.6%) whereas death was more with low blood glucose level (48.2% vs 6.2%). Low blood glucose level was associated with more fatal outcome. The difference was statistically signicant (P< 0.05).Although the study result has resemblance to previous studies, as there is no such type of study has been done previously in this institution, where patient burden is much more higher than resources and where emphasis on prevention, this study will establish an cost effective management protocol of birth asphyxia babies in my institution.

ABSTRACT In addition to the previously described permeability disturbance in the blood aqueous barrier of the eye, measured as an increase of the aqueous flare, a series of transitory systemic effects have been recorded following the subcutaneous injection of synthetic α-MSH: marked increase of the free fatty acids in plasma, decrease in the serum calcium level, decrease in the blood pressure, increase in the skin temperature, increased frequency and diminished amplitude of respiration, presence of slow waves in the EEG. There is a correlation between the magnitude of the aqueous flare increase and the increase of free fatty acids in plasma and also between the aqueous flare and the minimum serum calcium level.

Abstract Background Preeclampsia is a well-known cause of maternal mortality and morbidity in Ethiopia. The exact pathophysiology has not been fully understood. Calcium and magnesium deficiencies have been given emphasis to play roles in the pathophysiology. Although evidence is abundant, they are equivocal. The study aimed to see the association of dietary calcium intake, serum total calcium level and ionized calcium level with preeclampsia. It also evaluated the association between dietary calcium intake and serum calcium levels. Materials and methods An unmatched case–control study was conducted in Gandhi Memorial, Tikur Anbessa, and Zewditu Memorial Hospitals, all in Addis Ababa, between October to December, 2019. Cases were 42 women with preeclampsia and controls were 42 normotensive women. The medical and obstetric history was gathered using a structured questionnaire and the dietary calcium intake information using a 24-h dietary recall. The serum levels of total serum calcium and ionized (free) calcium were measured using an inductively coupled mass spectrophotometer. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression and Pearson correlation test were utilized during data analysis. Results In comparison with controls, women with preeclampsia had lower mean (± 1SD) levels of ionized calcium level (1.1 mmol/l ± 0.11), total serum calcium level (1.99 mmol/l ± 0.35) and lower median (IQR) dietary calcium intake (704 mg/24 h,458–1183). The odds of having preeclampsia was almost eight times greater in those participants with low serum ionized calcium level (OR 7.5, 95% CI 2.388–23.608) and three times higher in those with low total serum calcium level (OR 3.0, 95% CI 1.024–9.370). Low dietary calcium intake also showed statistically significant association with preeclampsia (OR 3.4, 95% CI 1.092 -10.723). Serum ionized calcium level and total serum calcium level showed positive correlation of moderate strength (p = 0.004, r = 0.307), but no correlation was found between dietary calcium intake with both forms of serum calcium levels. Conclusion This study showed significant association between low dietary calcium intake and low serum calcium levels with preeclampsia, hence this can be used as a supportive local evidence for the current context-specific recommendation of calcium supplementation in societies with low-dietary calcium consumption in an attempt to prevent preeclampsia, therefore implementation study should be considered in Ethiopia to look for the feasibility of routine supplementation.

Objective: To determine the frequency of hypocalcemia in neonates with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia receivingphototherapy.Study design and setting: Cross sectional study conducted at neonatal intensive care unit, King Abdullah Teaching Hospital,Mansehra for one year from December 2017 to November 2018.Methodology: Total 213 full term stable neonates of either gender with jaundice were studied in this study. Out of which,143 with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia were exposed to phototherapy while 70 neonates with exaggerated physiologicalhyperbilirubinemia taken as control were not exposed to phototherapy. Serum calcium level was determined through bloodtest before and after 24 hours of phototherapy. SPSS version 22 was used to analyze the data. Frequency and percentageswere used to describe categorical variables like gender and hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia was stratified by age and genderto see effect modifiers. Post stratified chi-square test was applied in which p value = 0.05 was considered as significancevalue.Results: In study group, 143 neonates who received phototherapy had mean age of 7 days ± 2.62 SD. Total 65% neonateswere male and 35% neonates were female. Mean serum calcium level of neonates before and after provision of phototherapywas 9.28 mg/dl ± 0.23 and 8.54 mg/dl ± 0.68 respectively, which is statistically significant. The frequency of hypocalcemiawas 40% in neonates with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia after 24 hours of phototherapy.Conclusion: Hypocalcemia is an important complication in neonates with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia after continuousphototherapy. Hypocalcemia has clinical impact and adds to morbidity, and if left untreated, can lead to mortality.
