Background
An adequate nutritional status in patients with cystic fibrosis correlates with higher survival and better pulmonary function. Body mass index (BMI) is an anthropometric indicator with independent association with pulmonary function, and it can hide alterations of nutritional status in cystic fibrosis.
Objective
To determine the relationship of lung function with BMI and body composition parameters in children with cystic fibrosis in a Hight Complexity institution between 2015 and 2018.
Materials and methods
It was an observational study with analytical, cross-sectional, and retrospective scope, including 33 patients between 5 and 17 years old. Spearman's test was applied to evaluate correlation of FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in first second) with BMI and five body composition parameters by bioelectrical impedance using InbodyS10 equipment. Statistical significance was considered with p < 0.05.
Results
Positive correlation was obtained between FEV1 and appendicular skeletal muscle mass between lung function and percentage of fat-free mass (p = 0.006) and phase angle (p = 0.001). Percent fat mass had a negative correlation with FEV1 (p = 0.007). BMI and fat free mass index did not correlate with lung function (p = 0.085).
Conclusions
Appendicular skeletal muscle mass correlated better than BMI with lung function in children with cystic fibrosis. It is recommended to perform anthropometric follow-up by BMI complemented with body composition study in children with cystic fibrosis. Analyses with larger populations are required to standardize its use.

Background
A newborn's birth weight ≥4000 g is defined as fetal macrosomia, which is recognized as a reproductive and serious child health concern.
Objectives
Our study aims to reveal existence of any connection between maternal factors and newborn sex in giving birth to newborn ≥4000 g in an Indian context.
Methods
Data were drawn from the fifth round of National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5). A cross-sectional observational study was carried out with a total of 152,827 children born to women in reproductive age group (15–49) who had most recent live birth in the five years preceding the survey. Descriptive analyses, cross-tabulation, test of association and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed.
Results
In India, the prevalence of macrosomia was found in 3.8% of the total study participants. Considering newborn characteristics, fetal macrosomia was more prevalent among male neonates than female (AOR: 0.730; 95% CI: 0.687–0.775). Regarding maternal characteristics, overweight (AOR: 1.468; 95% CI: 2.042–2.559) and obese (AOR: 2.764; 95% CI: 2.394–3.192) motherswith gestational diabetes (AOR: 1.731, 95% CI: 1.385–2.164) and hypertension (AOR: 1.288, 95% CI: 1.116–1.488) were more likely to giving birth of macrosomic babies. Multiparous mothers (AOR: 1.207, 95% CI: 1.128–1.293) and women who did not undergo proper antenatal care (ANC) follow up had also greater risk of developing fetal macrosomia. Muslim women (AOR: 1.223, 95% CI: 1.119–1.338), and women belonging to a tribe (AOR: 1.476, 95% CI: 0.922–2.361) were significantly associated with the risk of having newborn ≥4000 g.
Conclusion
Emphasis should be given on counseling for mothers for desired weight management before and during pregnancy, gestational diabetes and hypertension screening, physical activity during pregnancy, adequate ANC follow up and balanced dietary intake among pregnant women.

This study was to explore the effectiveness of the ABCLOVE exercise on school-aged children with vocal nodules after the treatment of budesonide.
Methods
Eighty-six school-aged children with vocal nodules were divided into control and ABCLOVE therapy groups. Subjective voice assessment and dysphonia severity index (DSI) assessment were performed before and after the 3-month of therapy.
Results
A significant improvement was observed in the ABCLOVE therapy group as compared with the control group (p = 0.035). ABCLOVE therapy significantly reduced the hoarseness and roughness scores in school-aged children with vocal nodules. Additionally, a significant reduction in functional score, physical score, emotional score, and total pVHI score was observed in the ABCLOVE therapy group. Moreover, acoustic parameters including jitter (%) and shimmer (%) were significantly reduced, whereas MPT and DSI were increased in school-aged children with vocal nodules who received 3 months of ABCLOVE treatment.
Conclusion
ABCLOVE therapy displayed effectiveness on school-aged children with vocal nodules after the treatment of budesonide.

Knowing and seeking medical attention for neonatal danger signs has many benefits for reducing neonatal morbidity and death. Despite numerous interventions that have been made to raise mothers’ awareness about neonatal danger signs, the desired level of knowledge has not yet been reached in Ethiopia.
Objective
To assess the level of knowledge of neonatal danger signs and associated factors among postpartum mothers in public hospitals in the Eastern Amhara region, northeastern Ethiopia.
Methods
A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in four government hospitals between January 10, 2023, and February 10, 2023.421 participants in the study were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Face-to-face interviews, observation, and chart reviews were used to collect the data. The association was discovered through multivariate logistic regression analysis.
Result
Only 36.6% (154) of mothers were knowledgeable about newborn danger signs in this study. Mothers who had higher institution status [(adjusted odds ratio) AOR = 3.355, 95% CI (1.751, 6.428)]; who were civil servants or a private employer [AOR = 2.986, 95% CI (1.822, 4.892)] and [AOR = 2.544, 95% CI (1.269, 5.138)]; and who had counseling about breastfeeding [AOR = 2.614, 95% CI (1.695, 4.029)] were positive predictors of awareness of neonatal danger signs.
Conclusion
In this study, the level of mothers' awareness of newborn danger signs was low and required more effort. Moreover, mothers who were educated, worked as civil servants or private employers, had a family size of 4–6, and received breastfeeding counseling were linked to mothers’ good awareness of newborn danger signs. As a result, intensive community and facility-based health promotion activities on newborn danger signs should be strengthened, with special emphasis on uneducated and housewife mothers and breastfeeding counseling sessions.
背景了解新生儿危险征兆并寻求医疗救助对降低新生儿发病率和死亡率有很多好处。尽管已经采取了许多干预措施来提高母亲对新生儿危险征兆的认识,但在埃塞俄比亚尚未达到预期的知识水平。 Objective To assess the level of knowledge of neonatal danger signs and associated factors among postpum mothers in public hospitals in the Eastern Amhara region, northeast northeast Ethiopia.方法 在 2023 年 1 月 10 日至 2023 年 2 月 10 日期间,在四家政府医院开展了一项以医院为基础的横断面研究。研究采用面对面访谈、观察和病历审查等方法收集数据。结果在这项研究中,只有 36.6%(154 位)的母亲了解新生儿危险征兆。机构地位较高的母亲[(调整后的几率比)AOR = 3.355,95% CI (1.751, 6.428)];公务员或私人雇主的母亲[AOR = 2.986,95% CI (1.822, 4.892)]和[AOR = 2.544,95% CI (1.269, 5.138)];以及接受过咨询的母亲[(调整后的几率比)AOR = 3.355,95% CI (1.751, 6.428)]。结论在本研究中,母亲对新生儿危险征兆的认识水平较低,需要付出更多努力。此外,受过教育、担任公务员或私人雇主、家庭人口为 4-6 人、接受过母乳喂养咨询的母亲与母亲对新生儿危险征兆的良好意识有关。因此,应加强以社区和医疗机构为基础的新生儿危险征兆健康宣传活动,尤其要重视未受过教育的母亲和家庭主妇以及母乳喂养咨询课程。
