A population of obstetrical patients was administered the IPAT Anxiety Scale during each trimester of pregnancy. Nineteen women representing extreme total scores were selected to test the hypothesis that there would be a positive relationship between the mothers' anxiety scores during gestation and neonatal behavior. Body activity and crying behavior were recorded on the second, third, and fourth day of life. Body weight was recorded at birth and on each day. The data confirmed the hypothesis of a positive relationship between mothers' anxiety level and amount of neonatal crying.

A roly-poly child obviously attracts many attentions but if the trend remains unchanged it could be a reason of worry as this is the primitive sign of childhood obesity which is the leading problem in today’s era. With continuous change in life style and dietary habits, child has become the victim of many diseases and obesity (Sthaulya) is one of them. There are and were some human activists talking about reducing the weight of study bags; but none is thinking about the weight our babies are carrying. In present era both parents are working, to earn the luxuries and amusements, so the kids are left with the food packets at home with idiot boxes to see some “de-shaped” cartoons resulting in the reduction of healthy nutritious diet and also reducing their body activity. The body weight of our babies is putting pressure on their “cuteness”, their “happiness”, their “emotions” and on their “being”. In Ayurveda it needs step by step examination and treatment to break the ‘Dushtasamprapti Chakra’ of Sthaulya by both non pharmacological such as Yoga and pharmacological remedies such as Panchakarma therapy, Shamana therapy etc. to achieve the goal.

AbstractThis study compared anxiety, fears, depression and behavioural problems as occurring in children with congenital heart disease, comparing them with samples of normal children. It further considered the influence of maternal anxiety, as well as analyzing a subgroup of children with cyanotic forms of congenital heart disease to determine if they were at higher risk than acyanotic children for the problems identified.MethodWe recruited 40 consecutive children with congenital heart disease without obvious psychoso-cial problems from the Cardiology clinic at the Alberta Children‘s Hospital. Of the 40 children, 39 families consented to have the children participate, of which 24 were cyanotic and 15 acyanotic. Children completed the revised versions of the Fear Survey Scale-Revised and the Child Manifest Anxiety Scale as well as the Child Depression Inventory. Mothers completed the Child Behaviour Checklist, and the State Trait Anxiety Scale.ResultsChildren with congenital heart diseases demonstrated more medical fears, and more physiological anxiety, than the normative samples. More specifically, children with cyanotic forms of congenital heart disease demonstrated more fears of the unknown, physiological anxiety, depression, and delinquent behaviors than the acyanotic children with congenital heart disease. Mothers of the children with cyanotic forms of congenital heart disease scored higher on both the state and trait scales, with higher maternal anxiety correlating with higher anxiety, medical fears and behavioral problems in the child.ConclusionIn a clinical setting, children with congenital heart diseases who do not present with psychological adjustment problems are still at risk for covert physiological anxiety, medical fears, depression and behavioral problems. The children with cyanotic malformations represent a subgroup at higher risk for these problems, which may be further exacerbated by increased maternal anxiety.

Objectives: The objective of the study was to assess the behavioral effects and the changes in the anxiety level of children after intranasal and sublingual midazolam sedation using Venham's clinical anxiety scale and salivary cortisol level. Study Design: Twenty children aged 3 to 7 years were randomly assigned to Group A (n=10) intranasal or Group B (n=10) sublingual midazolam (0.2mg/kg) sedation. The anxiety levels at various time periods were assessed using Venham clinical anxiety scale and corresponding changes in salivary cortisol levels were assessed before and after the drug administration. The anxiety levels were assessed independently by two pediatric dentists from recorded videos. Wilcoxon signed rank test and Mann Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis using SPSS version 19.0.Results: There was a significant decrease in anxiety level from baseline to 20 minutes after drug administration in group A (p=0.004) and group B (p=0.003). There was no significant change in salivary cortisol levels before and after the drug administration in group A (p=0.07) and group B (p=0.38). Conclusions: Both intranasal and sublingual administration of midazolam was equally effective in reducing the child's anxiety. However, there was no significant difference in the salivary cortisol levels in both groups.

The sexuality of large (non-dwarf) individuals and the characteristics of eggs, larvae and dwarf males were investigated in the pedunculate barnacle Scalpellum stearnsii. All 103 large individuals collected in this study were not hermaphrodites but females. The major length axis of the egg was on average 0.50 mm, which was larger than that in most thoracican barnacles with planktotrophic larvae. The larvae hatched as nauplii and metamorphosed into cyprids without feeding (i.e. lecithotrophic development). There was a positive relationship between body weight and egg mass weight in ovigerous females. The number of males attached per female ranged from 0 to 35 (average: 5.9) and there was a positive relationship between the number of males and female body weight. The distribution of dwarf males was skewed significantly towards the lower part of the occludent margin, which is near the fertilization site.

Management of preeclampsia is limited to blood pressure control and symptom relief in combination with close maternal/ fetal surveillance. Until recently, very little attention has been paid to preeclampsia's psychological consequences, especially maternal anxiety. Anxiety disorders can be identified using questionnaires instrument determining anxiety level, the Taylor Minnesota Anxiety Scale (TMAS) questionnaires is one among them. This study aimed to determine the TMAS maternal anxiety score difference between preeclampsia and normal pregnancy. This was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design conducted from March-August 2014 in 40 subjects, consisting of 20 women with preeclampsia and 20 women with normal pregnancy who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Anxiety was measured with the TMAS questionnaire. Statistical analysis to determine the TMAS maternal anxiety score difference between preeclampsia and normal pregnancy was t-test. In preeclampsia group, the mean of TMAS maternal anxiety score was 30,45 ± 9,65. While in the normal pregnancy group, the mean of TMAS maternal anxiety score was 18,50 ± 7,62. There was a significant TMAS maternal anxiety score difference between preeclampsia and normal pregnancy (p = 0,000).Keywords: TMAS maternal anxiety score, preeclampsia
