And Child Health

Drawing upon their rich background of international experience and their past publications, Drs. Williams and Jelliffe have assembled a monograph setting out to "present a point of view, some examples of diversity, and a practical philosophy. Little is presented in the way of clinical details (although selected references are included) except insofar as these help illustrate certain situations. For basically mother and child services have to be tailored to local circumstances. Universal solutions are an illusion, and the ‘blue-print’ export of services from one part of the world to another is rarely valid; in the past it has too often led to solutions suggestive of Lewis Carroll."

Abstract Objective The objective was to explore mothers’ perceptions of educational videos on infant and young child feeding practices, and to assess whether viewing frequencies would influence maternal knowledge, attitudes and feeding practices (KAPs). Design A set of 47 videos were displayed in health centers for 6 months. At three months, we conducted focus group discussions (FGDs) with mothers and at six months, administered KAP-questionnaire-based interviews to mothers. Using a quasi-experimental design we compared groups according to video viewing frequencies. Setting The study was conducted in a slum in Nairobi and a rural area in Machakos, Kenya. We installed TV screens in waiting rooms of six Mother and Child Health Centers, where mothers could choose to watch them. Participants Forty-three mothers with children aged 0 to 48 months participated in six FGDs and 547 mothers of children aged 0 to 23 months in KAP interviews. Results The mothers from the FGDs found the videos acceptable and beneficial. Videos enhanced mothers’ learning and empowered them to support others in learning. The KAP data showed that after adjustments, breastfeeding (p=0.06) and complementary feeding knowledge (p=0.01), complementary feeding attitudes (p=0.08), as well as hygiene knowledge and practices (p=0.003) were better among mothers who had seen videos three to four times, or five or more times, compared to mothers who had seen the videos once or twice. Conclusions Videos were an accepted form of education and were beneficial when watched repeatedly. The videos could be a good addition to current IYCF education efforts in Kenya.

Fanconi anemia (FA) is an inherited disorder with aplastic anemia, cancer susceptibility, and hypersensitivity to alkylating agents such as diepoxybutane (DEB). The DEB test is used to screen for FA among patients with bone marrow failure syndromes (BMFS). From February of 2004 to May of 2006, 29 children with BMFS were diagnosed and treated at the Mother and Child Health Care Institute of Serbia (MCHIS). In the examined group, five out of 29 patients (17.2%) were found to have increased DEB-induced chromosome breakage (0.58-2.15 vs. 0.00-0.20 breaks/cell; p<0.001) with no overlap. Our results suggest the importance of this analysis for differential diagnosis and adequate therapy of FA among patients with BMFS.
