Background: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory of the lungs which causes bronchial hyperresponsiveness and reversible airway obstruction. The disease predominantly affects the children. Bronchial asthma is manifested in response to external trigger of allergens. The most important risk factor is atopy, which produces high amount of IgE, the aim of this study is to evaluate serum IgE levels as a marker for the disease activity and study the correlation with the severity of bronchial asthma. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in peadiatrics department of the tertiary care hospital from March 2019 to February 2019. Children between 6-12yrs admitted with clinical features of asthma as per GINA guidelines was included in the study. IgE levels were taken at the time of the initial presentation. Results: The study showed that all the participants 100% who presented with clinical features suggestive of asthma had high IgE levels irrespective of age, sex and severity of asthma. The mean IgE levels in females were more than males. As the severity of asthma increased the mean IgE levels also increased. Conclusion: The study conclude that the IgE levels are independent of age and sex. IgE levels are directly proportional to severity of asthma.

Introduction: The Indian elderly population is currently the second largest in the world. Depression is quite common among elderly living in the community in India. Depression in elderly is not yet perceived as a public health problem and is grossly underdiagnosed and undertreated. Methodology: Survey of secondary literature is the prime methodology for preparing this research article. Research Findings: There is a significant gap in research evaluating various aspects of depression in elderly in India. There is a need for multicentric, longitudinal studies evaluating various aspects of depression i n India’s geriatric population. Conclusion: Majority of depressive disorders remains undiagnosed and untreated because of a wrong belief that it is a part of ageing and a social stigma. There is a need to sensitize the primary care physicians and specialists from different specialties to identify and manage depression in India’s geriatric population.

Knowledge of gestational age of newborn babies may modify the details of their care. Though gestational age is usually calculated from the date of mother’s last menstrual period this date is not known with certainty in large majority of pregnancy. In others there may be misleading information especially when the menstrual cycle is irregular, when conception is shortly after a previous pregnancy or when the mother was taking oral contraceptives shortly before conception. Hence the need of multiple modalities to confirm the gestational age and the reliability of modalities is a major concern. Our study is undertaken to compare the correlation of gestation age assessment by three methods viz., gestational age assessment by last menstrual period dates, gestational age assessment by last trimester ultrasound and gestational assessment by post-natal assessment of modified Ballard score. This study is a prospective study conducted in a rural medical college hospital. Total of 150 term babies were enrolled in the study. Duration of the study was two years. The gestational age of the neonates was calculated by all 3 methods and the correlation was assessed. The study concluded that the modified Ballard score overestimates the gestational age and the third trimester ultrasound underestimates the gestational age.

Background: Malnutrition in children is widely prevalent in developing countries including India. More than 33% of the deaths in 0-5 years are associated with malnutrition. Children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) are in danger of death from hypoglycemia, hypothermia, fluid overload, electrolyte imbalances. Hence, biochemical profile in these children is important for management. Objectives: The aim of this study is to describe the biochemical profile of children with severe acute malnutrition. Methods: This hospital based observational study was conducted on children with Severe Acute Malnutrition. Children were tested for biochemical parameters like complete blood counts with peripheral smear, C-Reactive protein, Blood glucose, renal function tests, serum electrolytes, calcium. Results: Among the study participants, 35 (46.7%) were anemic. CRP was Positive in 37, (49.3%) of the study population, Peripheral Smear showing Microcytic picture was present in 33, (44.0%) of the study population. Hypocalcaemia was present in 15, (20.0%), Hypokalaemia in 21, (28.0%) and Hyponatremia in 3, (4.0%). Elevated Urea was present in 34, (44.0%) and Elevated Creatinine in 30, (40.0%). Random Blood Sugar showed Hypoglycemia among 19, (25.3%). Conclusion: The observations in this study confirm a significant association between severe acute malnutrition and abnormalities in biochemical parameters. Many of these children had abnormal biochemical parameters like anemia, hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, hypoglycaemia.

Background: About 2–5% of the pregnancies are complicated by diabetes and is recognized to be related with poor maternal and fetal outcomes. An abnormal Macrosomia index (MI) or Macrosomia index (HC in cm/CC in cm) of ≤1 can be considered as a marker for macrosomia in infants of diabetic mothers. The main objective of this study to correlate the maternal glycemic control with neonatal macrosomia index. This is a Cross sectional observational study done among the neonates of mothers with diabetes attending a Medical College Hospital. Birth weight, head circumference and chest circumference, MI, were measured. Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C) were measured in mother at third trimester or at early puerperium. The results showed that there is a negative correlation of MI with HbA1C. So MI can be used as a predictor of maternal glycemic status and we also recommend strict glycemic control with regular monitoring of the HbA1C levels in antenatal mother and meticulous monitoring for the complications in neonates with abnormal MI (≤1).

Background and Aim: Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia (NH) is the most common cause for readmission during the early neonatal period. There are reports of bilirubin induced brain damage occurred in healthy term infants even without haemolysis and the sequalae could be serious. Aim of the study was to predict the development of Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia at birth using Cord Serum Albumin as a risk indicator.Material and Methods: Observation study was performed on 348 healthy term new-borns. Cord blood was collected from the healthy term new-borns delivered either vaginally or caesarean section for cord serum albumin level measurements. Total serum bilirubin and direct serum bilirubin were measured during 72-96 hours of life with serum sampling of peripheral venous blood. Newburn was assessed clinically daily for Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia or for any other complication during the study period. Results: Study cohort is grouped into Group1, Group2 and Group 3 based on Cord Serum Albumin level 2.8g/dl, 2.9-3.3g/dl and 3.4g/dl, respectively. In these groups, new-borns with total serum bilirubin level 17mg/dl after 72 hours are taken as Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia, requiring interventions like phototherapy or exchange transfusion. Conclusion: There is a correlation between Cord serum albumin level and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in healthy term new-borns. Cord serum albumin level of 2.8 g/dl can predict the development of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

Paediatrics is a clinical subject, which is taught in IIIrd year of MBBS. According to current curriculum the subject is mainly taught in classroom setting and very less exposure to clinical application and hospital based real life situations. It makes subject very insipid and students do not understand the utilization of subject during their actual practice. Clinical application based learning involves clinical projects that incorporate complex tasks, based on challenging questions or problems that involve students in design, problem-solving, decision-making, or investigative activities; give students the opportunity to work relatively autonomously over extended periods of time; and culminate in realistic products or presentations. This study puts in an effort to find the superior of the two ways of clinical teaching. The first being the case based learning and the second being the project based learning.

Introduction: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's response to an infection damages its own tissues and organs. In children, sepsis is a leading cause of death. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic efficacy of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) in pediatric patients with suspected septicemia. Material and Methods: This retrospective study included 125 pediatric patients aged 0-12 years, comprising a sepsis group (n=75) and a control group (n=50). Demographic data, presenting symptoms, vital signs on presentation, and laboratory results, including CRP and ESR levels, were recorded and analyzed. Results: Mean CRP levels were significantly higher in the sepsis group than in the control group. Similarly, mean ESR was higher in the sepsis group. Both parameters correlated with the severity of symptoms and aberrant vital signs on presentation. Conclusion: Both CRP and ESR showed significant elevation in pediatric septicemia, with CRP appearing more accurate and reliable. Further large-scale, prospective studies are needed to validate these findings and establish standardized cut-off levels for these biomarkers in diagnosing pediatric sepsis.

The neonatal period is a difficult time for a child’s survival. In India, neonatal mortality is high, and the pattern of reduction is very less as compared to infant and child mortality. The magnitude and associated factors of neonatal mortality in a tertiary care centres are also not well documented. Therefore, the aim of this study is to see the pattern of admission, neonatal mortality and its causes. Among the neonates admitted in neonatal intensive care unit of SLBSGMC and hospital.
