Intrauterine Growth Retardation (IUGR): A Case Report | JuniperPublishers

 

Abstract:

This case report is about a 36 year old primigravida patient in Southern California. She worked a sedentary job, was severely overweight prior to becoming pregnant and was unable to carry the baby to term. This paper reports on all the problems of the patient and the pregnancy, Caesarean Section Delivery of the infant at 24 weeks and the subsequent death of the child at the age of 6 days. Written permission and all of the information was freely given to the authors by the father, the mother refused to talk about the mistakes she had made, her guilty feelings and the fact that she was ultimately the cause of the death of the child due to her obesity precipitated this refusal. The father wanted it published to avoid anyone else losing a child, an unimaginable nightmare.

Outcome of 'CDC Kerala' Early Stimulation Model on Neurodevelopment of Late Preterm Infants-Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers - Journal of Pediatrics Abstract There is increasing evidence that late preterm babies (Gestational Age 34-0/7wks to 36-0/6 wks) are at increased risk of short term developmental morbidities as compared to term counterparts. Cochrane review had shown that early intervention programs for late preterm infants have a positive influence on motor and cognitive development on short-medium term. Early intervention programs like NIDCAP (Newborn Individualized Developmental Care & Assessment Program), IHDA (Infant Health & Development Program) are best evaluated. Parent based studies have shown positive influence on neurodevelopment outcome. Present study assesses the outcome of parent based early stimulation model on neurodevelopment of late preterm infants by corrected age of 12months. Keywords: Late preterm babies; Neurodevelopment outcome; Early stimulation; Parent based intervention; Developmental screening tools; Developmental assessme...

Intervention Strategies for Successful Breast Feeding: Randomized Clinical Trial-Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers - Journal of Pediatrics Abstract Breastfeeding is one of the most natural and beneficial acts a mother can do for her child. There are many possible nipple problems that breastfeeding mothers may encounter. The 7mm nipple length might be a possible screening indicator that would signal the clinician to provide more intensive breastfeeding monitoring (puapornpong, 2013). Objectives: Comparison of selected nursing interventions like manual technique, rubber band and syringe method on successful breastfeeding pattern among the antenatal mothers. Methodology: Randomized clinical trial study was conducted among 90 women having nipple problem, 30 in each group i.e., group I(manual technique), group II (rubber band) and group III (syringe method) in the selected government maternity hospital, Pondicherry, India. Samples were selected by simple random sampling. The outcome of study was evaluated by Descriptive and Inferential statistics. Results:...

Tympanometry in Neonates- A Comparative Study-Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers - Journal of Pediatrics Abstract Objective: Impairment to hearing during childhood may lead to delay in the speech and language skills, making the communication process more difficult. Early identification and rehabilitation can benefit the children. It is necessary to test the hearing using accurate test procedures. Thus, aim of the study was to compare the use of probe tones (226Hz and 1000Hz probe tone) in tympanometry while testing the neonates for hearing before getting discharged from hospital setup. Method: An inclusion - exclusion criteria was applied in selection of 60 neonates (1-17days). Hearing screening with comparison of 226Hz and 1000Hz probe tone in tympanometry was carried out using a comparative study design. Pressure ranging from + 200 to -400 daPa and a pressure change rate of 600/200 daPa per second was used for testing. Intensity of probe tone was adjusted at 85 dB SPL. Comparison was made for type of tympanogram, ear ca...
