Background: Allergic rhino-conjunctivitis (AR) is a common disorder in children, which causes significant morbidity and impact on learning and day-to-day activities. Objectives: To compare effectiveness of montelukast versus cetirizine in AR and its effect on the quality of life (QoL) among children aged 6-12 years, attending Asthma Clinic, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka. Method: This was a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group trial; 'Group A' was given montelukast with a cetirizine dummy; 'Group B' was given cetirizine with a montelukast dummy. Primary endpoint was to compare improvement of nasal, eye and night symptom scores. Secondary endpoint was to compare the QoL between the groups. Total symptoms were assessed at baseline, one month, two months and three months. Results: There were 176 children (62.5% boys) with a mean age of 8.82 ± 1.79 years. Fifteen children were lost to follow-up, 7 from the montelukast and 8 from the cetirizine group. There was a significant reduction in all symptoms (p<0.05) every month in both treatment groups. Whilst montelukast group had more improved day and night symptom scores than cetirizine group, statistically significant improvement was seen only in the 3rd month (t-4.10 p <0.001). Mean QoL score showed no significant difference between the two groups at onset (montelukast 9.01±9.4 and cetirizine 15.9 ± 10.4; t-0.369; p=0.712). Both groups showed a statistically significant improvement in all domains of QoL by completion of treatment (p<0.05). Upon completion, the montelukast group showed a significantly better QoL than the cetirizine group. Conclusions: Both cetirizine and montelukast showed remarkable improvement in the symptoms and better QoL in children. Study outcomes in all clinical domains and QoL were more significantly improved in montelukast group than in cetirizine group when treatment was continued for 3 months.
背景：过敏性鼻结膜炎（AR）是一种常见的儿童疾病，会导致严重的发病率，并对学习和日常活动造成影响。 研究目的：比较孟鲁司特和阿司匹林的疗效：比较孟鲁司特和西替利嗪治疗 AR 的疗效及其对斯里兰卡鲁胡纳大学医学院哮喘门诊 6-12 岁儿童生活质量（QoL）的影响。研究方法这是一项随机、双盲、平行分组试验；"A 组 "服用孟鲁司特和西替利嗪假药；"B 组 "服用西替利嗪和孟鲁司特假药。主要终点是比较鼻部、眼部和夜间症状评分的改善情况。次要终点是比较两组的 QoL。在基线、一个月、两个月和三个月时对总症状进行评估。结果176名儿童（62.5%为男孩）的平均年龄为（8.82 ± 1.79）岁。15名儿童失去了随访机会，其中7名来自孟鲁司特组，8名来自西替利嗪组。两个治疗组的所有症状每月都有明显减轻（P<0.05）。与西替利嗪组相比，孟鲁司特组的日间和夜间症状评分改善幅度更大，但只有在第 3 个月才出现统计学意义上的显著改善（t-4.10 p <0.001）。两组的平均 QoL 评分在发病时无明显差异（孟鲁司特 9.01±9.4，西替利嗪 15.9±10.4；t-0.369；p=0.712）。治疗结束时，两组患者的所有 QoL 领域均有显著改善（p<0.05）。完成治疗后，孟鲁司特组的 QoL 明显优于西替利嗪组。结论西替利嗪和孟鲁司特都能显著改善儿童的症状，提高其生活质量。持续治疗 3 个月后，孟鲁司特组在所有临床领域和 QoL 方面的研究结果都比西替利嗪组有更明显的改善。

Introduction: Play is essential for child development as it contributes to their cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being. Toys are the primary medium of engagement of caregivers with their children. Traditionally, physical toys were provided to the children. With the introduction of digital toys and screen-based devices, the challenge has been to recognize their effect.Objectives: To assess the practice of toys in infants and toddlers, determine associated health risks and determine the appropriateness of toys as per age.Results: With traditional toys, 74% played with dolls, 72% with soft toys and 5% with outdoor equipment; 53% spent <1 hour, 31% 1-2 hours and 15% >2 hours playing with traditional toys. With digital toys, 61% parents owned 1-3 digital devices, 23.1% 4-6 devices and 15% >6 devices. Almost 92% of children were exposed to mobile screen, 47% to television screen and 42% to tablet. In 77% cases, parents were the principal interactor with child and 15% were solitary play oriented.Conclusions: Almost 50% of traditional toys were not age appropriate. Regarding digital toys, screen time was not safe in 100% in <2-year-old and only 31% safe in 2–3- year age group.

Background: Children are anxious about dental procedures and the anaesthetic needle’s sight and feeling have been identified as the most fear-eliciting stimuli. Psychologists have used ‘play therapy’ to modify child behaviour to alleviate pain and anxiety during elective surgery in children. The pinwheel and bubble blower have been used in play therapy for children to bring about deep breathing which in turn brings about relaxation and anxiety reduction. Objectives: To evaluate and compare the use of two relaxation breathing exercises for anxiety reduction before and after administration of local anaesthesia for 6–12-year-old children undergoing dental treatment. Method: Forty-five children were divided into 3 groups as control, pinwheel breathing exercise and bubble blowing breathing exercise. The children were given a demonstration of the breathing exercise before local anaesthesia administration and asked to perform the exercise for 3 to 5 minutes. Anxiety was measured before and after administration of local anaesthesia with pulse rate and Venham’s picture scale score. Results: Post-operative rise in pulse rate was seen in all groups but was statistically significant in the control group and the bubble blowing breathing exercise group (p<0.05). The least rise was seen in the pinwheel breathing exercise group. The post-injection Venham’s picture test score was the same as the pre-injection score in the pinwheel exercise group but had increased for the other two groups which was statistically not significant. Conclusions: The play therapy relaxation breathing exercises can be successfully used for anxiety reduction in children receiving local anaesthesia.

Background: Stunting impairs child growth and development, affecting millions of children under five years worldwide. Consumption of milk provides important macronutrients and micronutrients that support growth. Objectives: To assess milk consumption and its associations with stunting in children aged 6-59 months in Surabaya City, Indonesia. Method: This case-control study compared milk consumption between children aged 6-59 months with stunting (cases) and normal children (controls). Data were obtained from questionnaires and anthropometric databases from five primary healthcare centres in Surabaya city. Data from 94 subjects were analysed using Chi-square and multivariate logistic regression. Results: Children with stunting had a significantly later age of milk introduction, less frequent daily milk consumption and a lower amount of daily milk consumption than controls (p<0.05). Age of milk introduction ≥18 months was a risk factor associated with stunting (p<0.05, crude OR= 3.0, 95% CI 1.2-7.4). Daily milk consumption less than twice a day (p<0.05, crude OR=3.8; 95% CI 1.4-10.5) and amount of milk less than 500 ml (p<0.05, crude OR=2.9; 95% CI 1.2-6.8) were risk factors associated with stunting. After adjusting for other confounding variables, odds of stunting were found to be dominantly higher statistically in children with daily milk consumption of less than twice a day (p<0.05, adjusted OR= 3.4, 95% CI 1.0-11.5). Conclusions: This study concluded that milk introduction at the age beyond 18 months, frequency of daily consumption of less than twice a day and an amount of less than 500 ml a day are significantly associated with higher odds of stunting.
背景：发育迟缓有损儿童的生长发育，影响着全球数百万五岁以下儿童。饮用牛奶可提供重要的宏量营养素和微量营养素，从而促进生长。 目标： 评估牛奶消费量及其与儿童生长发育的关系：评估印度尼西亚泗水市 6-59 个月大儿童的牛奶消费量及其与发育迟缓的关系。研究方法：病例对照研究：这项病例对照研究比较了 6-59 个月大发育迟缓儿童（病例）和正常儿童（对照）的牛奶消费量。数据来自泗水市五个初级保健中心的调查问卷和人体测量数据库。采用卡方检验和多变量逻辑回归对 94 名受试者的数据进行了分析。结果显示与对照组相比，发育迟缓儿童开始喝牛奶的年龄明显较晚，每天喝牛奶的次数较少，每天喝牛奶的量也较低（P<0.05）。母乳喂养年龄≥18个月是导致发育迟缓的一个风险因素（p<0.05，粗OR= 3.0，95% CI 1.2-7.4）。每天喝奶少于两次（p<0.05，粗略OR=3.8；95% CI 1.4-10.5）和奶量少于500毫升（p<0.05，粗略OR=2.9；95% CI 1.2-6.8）是与发育迟缓相关的风险因素。在对其他混杂变量进行调整后，发现每天喝牛奶少于两次的儿童发育迟缓的几率明显更高（p<0.05，调整后的OR=3.4，95% CI 1.0-11.5）。结论本研究得出结论，18 个月以上才开始喝牛奶、每天喝牛奶次数少于两次以及每天喝牛奶量少于 500 毫升与发育迟缓的几率较高密切相关。
