Hydrocephalus in early life can often be so successfully treated as to allow children to live and grow with normal intelligence. Whereas untreated hydrocephalus allows only unpredictable intelligence when arrested, a far better prognosis holds for treated hydrocephalus. In an analysis of 147 patients with hydrocephalus treated by valveregulated ventriculovenous shunt, IQ can be related to ultimate frontal cerebral mantle. We have sought to correlate late IQ with the nature of the presenting abnormality, the age at which treatment was instituted, and the adequacy of control of the hydrocephalus as reflected in growth of cerebral mantle. This analysis indicates that in certain specific situations, prognosis for good IQ is predictable. At the same time, the study suggests guidelines for adequacy of shunting and the urgency for early shunting to allow for maximum benefits.

Australian Merino

The lifetime reproductive performances (5 annual cycles) of 2105 Merino ewes from a multiple bloodline flock (15 separate bloodlines) were used to determine the association between reproductive performance in early life (either at 2 or 3 years of age, or the combined information from both years) and later performance. Early life fertility was indicative of both the fertility and the rearing ability of ewes in later life. The relationship of the combined weaning performance at the first and second annual reproductive cycles with reproductive performance in later life suggested gains were possible in the current flock from culling with emphasis on low fertility and rearing ability. Ewes that were dry at 2 and 3 years of age subsequently reared only half as many lambs as ewes that had reared lambs at 2 and 3 years of age.

Infants who fail to grow much occur in the third month or fourth month of early life. Early breastfeeding of the ASI causes mothers not to give breast milk and cause infectious diseases that result in stunting in infants. The purpose of this research is to find out the relationship of early breastfeeding with nutritional status (PB/U) age 4-7 months in Ratu Samban Sub-district of Bengkulu City.  This research uses analytic observational with a cross-sectional design. The results showed the nutritional status of PB / U short category 18.3% and MP ASI early 66.7% while the statistical test showed probability (p) of 0.273 (p> 0.05).  There is no correlation between early breastfeeding of MP and nutritional status of PB / U age 4-7 months in Ratu Samban Sub-district of Bengkulu City. Need to do re-research a using Cohort method and with other variables.Bayi yang gagal tumbuh banyak terjadi pada bulan ketiga atau bulan ke empat awal kehidupan. Pemberian MP ASI dini mengakibatkan ibu tidak berusaha memberikan ASI dan menyebabkan terjadinya penyakit infeksi yang mengakibatkan stunting pada balita. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan pemberian MP-ASI dini dengan status gizi (PB/U) pada bayi usia 4-7 bulan di Kecamatan Ratu Samban Kota Bengkulu. Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan observasional analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Hasil penelitian menunjukan status gizi PB/U kategori pendek 18,3% dan MP ASI dini 66,7% sedangkan uji statistik menunjukkan nilai probabilitas (p) sebesar 0,273 (p > 0,05).  Tidak ada hubungan antara pemberian MP ASI dini dengan status gizi PB/U usia 4-7 bulan di Kecamatan Ratu Samban Kota Bengkulu . Hal ini berkaitan dengan pemberian makanan pendamping ASI sementara sebagai makanan prelaktal sebelum ASI ibu keluar dan diberikan dalam jumlah sedikit. Lebih baik dilakukan penelitian lanjutan dengan menggunakan metode Kohort dan dengan variabel lain.

AbstractThis study aimed to assess the evidence regarding the relationship between early-life antibiotic exposure and childhood overweight/obesity by reviewing observational studies on prenatal antibiotic exposure and systematic reviews on infant antibiotic exposure. A search in Pubmed, Embase and Google Scholar covering the period 1st January till 1st December 2018 led to the identification of five studies on prenatal antibiotic exposure and four systematic reviews on infant antibiotic exposure. Positive trends between prenatal antibiotic exposure and overweight/obesity were reported in all studies; two studies reported a significant overall relationship and the other three reported significant relationships under certain conditions. Effect sizes ranged from odds ratio (OR): 1.04 (0.62–1.74) to relative risk (RR): 1.77 (1.25–2.51). Regarding infant antibiotics, one review concluded there was substantial evidence that infant antibiotic exposure increased the risk of childhood overweight/obesity [pooled effect sizes: RR: 1.21 (1.09–1.33) for overweight and RR: 1.18 (1.12–1.25) for obesity]. Two reviews concluded there was some evidence for a relationship [pooled effect sizes: OR: 1.05 (1.00–1.11) and OR: 1.11 (1.02–1.20)]. The fourth review concluded the studies were too heterogeneous for meta-analyses and the evidence regarding the relationship between infant antibiotic exposure and childhood overweight/obesity was inconclusive. More well-designed studies are needed that include data on intra-partum antibiotics and address important potential confounders (including maternal and childhood infections). This review points to some evidence of a relationship between early-life antibiotic exposure and childhood overweight/obesity; this is especially evident in certain children (i.e. exposed to multiple and broad-spectrum antibiotics, earlier postnatal exposure and male gender) and merits further research.

Object Infantile hydrocephalus in East Africa is predominantly postinfectious. The microbial origins remain elusive, since most patients present with postinfectious hydrocephalus after antecedent neonatal sepsis (NS) has resolved. Methods To characterize this syndrome in Ugandan infants, the authors used polymerase chain reaction targeting bacterial 16S ribosomal DNA from CSF to determine if bacterial residua from recent infections were detectable. Bacteria were identified based on the relationship of genetic sequences obtained with reference bacteria in public databases. The authors evaluated samples from patients presenting during dry and rainy seasons and performed environmental sampling in the villages of patients. Results Bacterial DNA was recovered from 94% of patients. Gram-negative bacteria in the phylum Proteobacteria were the most commonly detected. Within this phylum, Gammaproteobacteria dominated in patients presenting after infections during the rainy season, and Betaproteobacteria was most common following infections during the dry season. Acinetobacter species were identified in the majority of patients admitted after rainy season infection. Conclusions Postinfectious hydrocephalus in Ugandan infants appears associated with predominantly enteric gram-negative bacteria. These findings highlight the need for linking these cases with antecedent NS to develop more effective treatment and prevention strategies.
