Birth Hospitalization

Background: Neonatal jaundice is the most common cause of readmission after discharge from birth hospitalization. Breastfeeding failure jaundice (BFFJ) is an important subtype of pathological neonatal jaundice. It typically occurs with lactation failure during the first postnatal week that leads to insufficient intake, dehydration, weight loss and sometimes hypernatremia. Incidence of breast-feeding failure is expected to rise as the exclusive breast-feeding rates are rising. This problem is not well studied especially in Indian setting hence study was conducted.Methods: This was retrospective observational study done in Department of Pediatrics from the April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2018. 179 neonates, who presented with jaundice as main complaint with total bilirubin value above the age & risk factor matched cut off, were sampled and their clinical data was analyzed.Results: Breast feeding failure jaundice contributed 31.8% (N = 57) cases, second to the exaggerated physiological hyperbilirubinemia (48% N = 86), followed by hemolytic (13.8%, N = 25). BFFJ presented at median age of 6.8 days and had mean duration of hospital stay of 3 days. Incidences of exaggerated physiological jaundice and BFFJ were found to be higher in winter months i.e. 6.7% (N = 48/716) compared to summer months i.e. 4.1% (N = 28/679) significantly (p value = 0.045).Conclusions: Breast feeding failure jaundice (BFFJ) contributed to one third of cases of neonatal pathological jaundice requiring re-admission and is the second most common cause after exaggerated physiological jaundice. The high incidence of BFFJ in the study warrants focused efforts for a structured program of breast-feeding education, training and surveillance.

Background: Neonatal jaundice is a common cause of mortality and morbidity in newborn babies and account for up to 60% cases in term and 80% in preterm babies. Studies from different geographical areas should be done to know the causes of hyperbirubinemia properly so that a collective effort can be made to decrease the burden mortality and morbidity associated with it Objectives:To study the incidence and causes of neonatal jaundice in babies admitted in the hospital Methods: It was a hospital based observational study conducted in one of the busiest hospitals of Jorhat over a period of 12 months. Incidence and causes of neonatal jaundice in the babies born in the hospital during the study period were studied. Results: 710 newborns delivered during the study period out of which 439 (61.8%) newborns developed clinical jaundice. 290 (66%) newborns had physiological jaundice and the rest 149 (34%) developed pathological jaundice. Among the 149 babies developing pathological jaundice 87(58.3%) were males and 62(41.6%) were females. Most common cause was ABO incompability(31%) of cases, second was breast feeding jaundice (28%) , third was prematurity (12%) .Other causes were cephalohematoma(1.3%), Rh incompatibility(3.3%) , G6PD deciency(8%), sepsis(4.7%) and in 11.4% babies no denite cause was found. Conclusion: Adequate feeding, preventing premature deliveries, good monitoring of babies with ABO incompability, prematurity, Rh incompability, G6PD deciency can decrease the mortality and morbidity associated with neonatal jaundice.

Abstract Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the current state of breast-feeding promotion in hospitals and the prevalence of breast-feeding during the first year of life in Germany and to compare the results with a study 20 years earlier. Design: In the studies on ‘breast-feeding and infant nutrition in Germany’ named ‘SuSe’, a cross-sectional survey in hospitals was combined with a subsequent prospective survey of breast-feeding and infant nutrition during the first year of life (0·5, 2, 4, 6 and 12 months after birth) in mother–infant pairs who were recruited in the hospitals. Written questionnaires and phone calls were used in SuSe I and web-based questionnaires in SuSe II. Breast-feeding promotion and prevalence were evaluated using recommendations from the WHO and the UNICEF. Setting: Two nationwide surveys SuSe I (1997–1998) and SuSe II (2017–2019). Participants: In SuSe I, 177 hospitals and 1717 mother–infant pairs and in SuSe II 109 hospitals and 962 mother–infant pairs were included. Results: In SuSe II, hospitals implemented seven of the WHO ‘Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding’ to a greater extent than the hospitals in SuSe I. More mothers exclusively breastfed for 4 months (57 % v. 33 %) and continued breast-feeding until 6 (78 % v. 48 %) and 12 months (41 % v. 13 %). In both studies, exclusive breast-feeding decreased between 4 and 6 months of age due to the introduction of complementary feeding. Conclusions: In Germany, breast-feeding habits have come closer to the recommendations over the last 20 years.

Corona virus is a virus that attacks the respiratory system. The high incidence of Covid-19 is due to low public awareness of applying health protocols. So the need for prevention and control efforts by complying with health protocols to wear masks, keep your distance and wash your hands properly. Washing hands is an easy routine and is important in infection control, and is the best method to prevent the transmission of microorganisms. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of nurse education on the accuracy of the patient's family through hand washing in preventing Covid-19 transmission at Arifin Achmad Hospital, Riau Province. This research uses quantitative research with a quasi experimental design, with a population of 20 people. Data collection tools used observation sheets and data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate with the Wilcoxson test. The results of this study show that the average value before being given education about hand washing is low compared to the average value after being given education about hand washing. So that hand washing education is effective in increasing hand washing to prevent Covid-19 transmission with a p-value of 0.000. The results of this study are expected to be a source of information and knowledge for the nursing profession regarding the effect of providing nurse education on the accuracy of the patient's family in washing hands.

AbstractObjectiveBreast-feeding is an important determinant of health of mothers and their offspring. The present study aimed to compare breast-feeding rates across Europe disaggregated by maternal education and establish what proportion achieves at least 50 % exclusive breast-feeding (EBF) at 6 months.Design/SettingSecondary analysis of national or sub-national studies’ breast-feeding data for EU Member States plus Norway and Iceland, published in 2006–2016. Nineteen EU Member States plus Norway reported rates of EBF and any breast-feeding disaggregated by maternal education, of which only thirteen could be matched to the International Standard Classification of Education.ParticipantsMothers and their infants aged 0–12 months.ResultsData on EBF rates at 6 and 4 months were found in only four and six countries, respectively. At 6 months, EBF rates of 49 % in Slovakia and 44 % in Hungary were closest to WHO’s target of at least 50 % EBF. At 4 months, mothers with high education level in Denmark, the Netherlands and Germany had the highest EBF rates (71, 52 and 50 %, respectively). Mothers with low education level were less likely to initiate breast-feeding and cessation occurred early. The inequality gap ranged from 63 % in Irish mothers to no gap or very low levels of inequality in Poland, Sweden and Norway.ConclusionsMore mothers with high, compared with low, education initiate breast-feeding and practise EBF for longer. More European policies should be targeted to protect, support and promote breast-feeding, especially among mothers with only mandatory education.

Introduction: Middle turbinate overlying the middle meatus is the most important anatomic area in the lateral wall of the nose. It is a thinsheet of bone which curves in different planes very similar to a dried leaf. Paradoxical Middle Turbinate (PMT) is the abnormal curvatureof middle turbinate, where the convex surface faces laterally instead of its usual medial curvature and may block the drainage pathway ofmiddle meatus. The present study aimed at observing the prevalence of the paradoxical middle turbinate in the adult population of Bihar. Subjects and Methods: This was a retrospective study being conducted on 150 patients who presented to the Department of Radiodiagnosis. Their CT scans were analysed for the presence of paradoxical middle turbinate. The results were analysed as percentage and ‘p’ value was calculated using Fischer’s Exact Test. Results: Prevalence of Paradoxical Middle Turbinate was observed in 28 cases i.e. 18.6% cases; 16 in males and 12 in females. ‘p’ value was 0.677 on applying Fisher’s Exact test. Conclusion: Anatomical variations of the paranasal sinus region like paradoxical middle turbinate are quite common cause of diseases involving paranasal sinuses and they must be searched for by the surgeons planning any endoscopic sinus surgery. This study attempted to provide the prevalence of the paradoxical middle turbinate which will definitely help the FESS surgery and its outcomes.

Palm Fruits

Background: Breastfeeding is exceptionally superior, giving mother and infants distinct and subtastial physical, mental, and developmental health advantages. Palm fruit has content of phytonutrients with antioxidant properties and galactagogues to help increase their milk supply in the early postpatum days. The lowest exclusive brest feeding rates in DIY is in the city of Yogyakarta. Exclusive breast feeding improves infant immunity so as to minimize the occurrence of diarrhea, constipation, fever that is caused by some allergic reactions. Objectifive: :This study aimed to analyze the relationship between date palm fruits on postpartum to prolactin and volume of breast milk Method: Research was conducted on maternal postpartum which is divided into two groups. They are the control group; and the treatment group which was given dates palm fruit. Breast milk volume and prolactin was measured at 3 day after labor. The analytical method used is Student T-test. Results: Date Palm fruits increased prolactin and volume of breast milk which was significantly on firstweek breastfeeding increase in the treatment group compared to the control group at p <0.05. Conclusion: Date Palm fruits is one of the alternatives that can be done to improve the success of exclusive breast feeding on postpartum. Key Words: Date palm fruit, postpartum, prolactin and volume of breast milk
