Maternal Iron

Background: Iron stores of neonates born to anaemic mothers are low, iron content in breast milk in anaemic women is low and because of these factors substantial proportion of infants become anaemic by six months. Thus maternal iron deficiency and anaemia makes the offspring vulnerable for developing iron deficiency anaemia right from infancy. The current study was made attempt to evaluate and establish the relationship between maternal haemoglobin and early neonatal outcome in term babies.Method: The present cross-sectional observational study conducted in term neonates and their mothers in first stage of labour in the Department of Paediatric and Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, GSL Medical College and general hospital, Rajamahendravaram, from 2015 to 2017. Relevant history of mother was recorded and blood sample from the mother was collected in first stage of labour for haemoglobin estimation.Result: The mean haemoglobin in anaemic mothers was found to be 9.48±0.413 gm/dl and that in non-anaemic mothers was 11.67±0.515gm/dl. Anaemia among mothers has significant effect on birth weight of the newborn babies, on crown heel length of the newborn babies (P<0.05) and on head circumference of Newborn babies (P< 0.05). It was found that anaemia among mothers has no significant effect on APGAR score at 5 mins and on hospital stay.Conclusion: Anaemic mothers had newborn with low mean birth weight, low mean head circumference and low crown heel length compared to the those of non anaemic mothers.

Electrolyte Abnormalities

Prematurity and low birth weight contributes to 27.8% of neonatal deaths in rural areas of Bangladesh. Fluid, electrolyte and metabolic abnormalities are the commonest derangements encountered in preterm infants due to their renal immaturity and relatively immature skin. Premature infant are at increased risk of developing dehydration or overhydration4. Therefore, high index of suspicion, prompt recognition and thorough understanding of common electrolyte abnormalities are necessary to improve neonatal outcome. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management is essential for better neonatal outcome. Objectives: To identify the serum electrolytes abnormalities in preterm low birth weight neonates. Methodology: It was a cross- sectional study and carried out in the Department of Neonatology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka between January 2017 to August 2017. Information was collected who gave consent and participated in the study willingly. The sample size was 50. Patients admitted in the above mentioned hospital and after meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria a simple random sampling technique was applied for selecting the study subjects. Results: Fifty preterm LBW neonates fulfilling the inclusion criteria were studied during this study period. Abnormal electrolytes were documented in 20(40%) out of 50 preterm LBW neonates and electrolyte status was normal in 30(60.0%) cases. Of 20 neonates who had abnormal electrolytes, hyperkalemia was the predominant electrolyte abnormality found in 8(16.0%) neonates, hyponatremia was found in 7(14.0%), hypokalemia in 3(6.0%) and hypernatremia 2(4.0%). Conclusion: Electrolyte abnormalities are common in preterm LBW neonates. So, identification of electrolyte abnormalities and proper management of fluid and electrolytes and close monitoring are important.

Background: Several risk factors have been identified for postpartum hemorrhage, one of which being the duration of the third stage of labour. This stage refers to the interval between the expulsion of the fetus to the expulsion of the placenta. Some bleeding occurs in this stage due to the separation of the placenta Objective: This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the length of the third stage of labour. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 300 women hospitalized for vaginal birth were selected via convenience sampling. The study data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire. Then, the data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses. Results: The mean (SD) age of the participants was 26.41 (6.26) years. Investigation of the relationship between the study variables and the time of placental separation indicated that a minute increase in the length of membranes rupture caused a 0.003minute decrease in the time of placental separation. However, this time increased by 2.75, 6.68, and 2.86 minutes in the individuals without the history of abortion, those with the history of stillbirth, and those who had not received hyoscine, respectively. The results of multivariate analysis indicated that suffering from preeclampsia or hypertension, history of stillbirth, not receiving hyoscine, and not receiving misoprostol increased the length of the third stage by 4.40, 8.55, 2.38, and 6.04 minutes, respectively. Conclusion: Suffering from preeclampsia and having the history of stillbirth increased and using hyoscine and misoprostol decreased the length of the third stage of labour. However, no significant relationship was found between the length of the third stage of labour and mother’s age, gestational age, parity, mother’s body mass index, mother’s chronic disorders, history of manual placenta removal, length of the first and second stages, membranes rupture, induction, amount of oxytocin after delivery, and infant’s weight and gender.

Leptospirosis is associated with occupations which exposed workers to contaminated environments. The risk of leptospirosis exposure in the market as a gathering place for many people needs to be assessed, to obtain the basis for decision making to anticipate leptospirosis transmission. This study aimed to determine the relationship between market environmental conditions including market sanitation conditions, the level of rat density and the presence of leptospira-positive rats  toward the history of leptospirosis exposure among market workers (traders and janitors). A cross sectional study conducted in 35 markets in Banjarnegara and 175 market workers randomly selected. Blood samples analysed using ELISA against 40 Kda pathogenic Leptospira protein. Rat trapping  conducted in each market for two days with 100 traps. The caught mice examined with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to detect the presence of Leptospira bacteria in their kidneys. Leptospirosis exposure was spread in 17 markets in Banjarnegara. The PCR examination showed that the pathogenic Leptospira infected rats were spread in four markets in Banjarnegara. Chi square test showed that the hygene condition in market area was significantly associated with the leptospirosis exposure. Markets workers (traders and janitors) were at risk for leptospirosis proved by high seroprevalence of leptospirosis in this study.

Background: Low birth weight is the major determinant of mortality, morbidity and disability in infancy and childhood and has a long-term impact on health outcome in adult life. The objectives of this study were to study the relationship between maternal anemia and birth weight of babies and to study anthropometric measures of babies born to anemic and non-anemic mothers and to correlate the timing of anemia with birth weight of babies.Methods: Term babies born in Institute of Maternal and Child Health, Government Medical College, Kozhikode from November 2014 to October 2016 fulfilling the criteria were divided into 2 groups, cases (term babies with birth weight <2500g) and controls (term babies with weight >2500g) and studied and their maternal hemoglobin values were compared.Results: Maternal anaemia in all three trimesters was found to be more in cases compared to controls. Mean 1st trimester hemoglobin of cases was 10.68 g/dl which was significantly lower when compared to controls. Mean 2nd trimester hemoglobin of cases was 10.36 g/dl compared to 11.47 g/dl in controls. Mean 3rd trimester hemoglobin of cases was 10.42 g/dl which was also significantly lower compared to 11.32 g/dl in controls. SGA babies were also found to be more in cases, 89%, compared to 18% in controls. The difference in head circumference between two groups was not statistically significant. Mean length of babies were higher in controls compared to cases. Mothers with anemia at any time during pregnancy was found to have 4.3 times higher risk of giving birth to low birth weight babies compared to non-anemic mothersConclusion: Anemia during pregnancy is a risk factor for low birth weight and SGA, independent of the trimester. Length of babies born to anaemic mothers is also low. But it does not have a significant effect on head circumference of babies.
