Background: High neonatal mortality rate (NMR) in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) might not be resolved until rural healthcare facilities are empowered with sustainable frugal technologies and procedures. Needed technologies may not rely on cutting-edge systems of the high-income countries (HIC), which require much funding and well-established public infrastructure to thrive. Rather, tailored non-conventional designs that are compatible with the deficiencies at low-income settings must take center stage. Study design: A multistage strategy was designed to identify and resolve the technology and knowledge gaps responsible for high NMR and rural community deficiencies militating against neonatal interventions within the primary healthcare settings in Nigeria. Methods: We concluded many scientific investigations and developed interventions over 25 years period to resolve the various factors militating against neonatal survival in Nigeria. Unconventional ideas relying on solar powered systems and easily available local materials were developed, trialed, and commissioned at various times across 31 tertiary hospitals spanning all regions of Nigeria. Stand-alone studies or solutions-creation, amidst discouraging situations, were individually completed, peer-reviewed, and journal-published. The full package of technologies was finally assembled to launch a community empowerment strategy – the Neonatal Rescue Scheme – to generate integrated proof of concept. Finding: The number of early neonatal deaths and overall NMR drastically reduced at participating centers. Conclusions: This Rescue-Scheme strategy could revolutionize neonatal healthcare in low-income countries and drastically reduce Nigeria’s corporate NMR if properly adopted. Clinical evidence: Recent studies of the Scheme and various combinations of its neonatal technologies have demonstrated significant clinical evidence of NMR-reduction, e.g., overall NMR fell from 90/’00 to 4/’00 as published by Amina-center Minna Nigeria 2023; early mortality fell from 81% to 0% - University of Abuja Teaching Hospital Nigeria 2017, etc.
背景:在低收入和中等收入国家(LMIC)的高新生儿死亡率(NMR)可能无法解决，直到农村卫生保健设施被赋予可持续的节俭技术和程序。所需的技术可能不依赖于高收入国家(HIC)的尖端系统，后者需要大量资金和完善的公共基础设施才能蓬勃发展。相反，与低收入环境的不足相适应的量身定制的非传统设计必须占据中心位置。研究设计:设计了一项多阶段战略，以确定和解决导致尼日利亚初级卫生保健机构内高核磁共振和农村社区缺陷妨碍新生儿干预的技术和知识差距。方法:在过去的25年里，我们总结了许多科学调查和开发干预措施，以解决影响尼日利亚新生儿生存的各种因素。依靠太阳能供电系统和易于获得的当地材料的非常规想法在尼日利亚所有地区的31家三级医院的不同时间进行了开发、试验和委托。在令人沮丧的情况下，独立的研究或解决方案的创造被单独完成，同行评审，并在期刊上发表。整套技术终于集合起来，启动了一项社区赋权战略——新生儿救援计划——以产生概念的综合证明。研究发现:在参与研究的中心，早期新生儿死亡人数和总体核磁共振率大幅下降。结论:如果采用得当，这种拯救计划战略可以彻底改变低收入国家的新生儿保健，并大大减少尼日利亚的企业核磁共振。临床证据:最近对该方案及其新生儿技术的各种组合的研究已经证明了显著的核磁共振降低的临床证据，例如，总体核磁共振从90/ 00下降到4/ 00，这是由Amina-center Minna Nigeria 2023年发布的;早期死亡率从81%降至0%——尼日利亚阿布贾大学教学医院，2017年等。

Background and objective: Hearing loss is one of the most common congenital anomalies, occurring in 1 to 3 per 1000 newborn infants in the well-baby nursery population, and 2 to 4 per 100 infants in the Neonatal intensive care unit graduates. The aim of the study is to identify babies with potential hearing loss and direct them to early intervention and rehabilitation. The program also initiated to create awareness about the need for detecting childhood deafness among parents and general population. An estimate of coverage, prevalence and proportion of babies defaulting newborn hearing screening program and diagnostic evaluation monitored closely to find the effectiveness of the program. Study design: This is a retrospective study and was conducted at Latifa women and children’s hospital (LWCH), a tertiary care referral hospital at Dubai, United Arab Emirates, over a period of two years from January 2018 to December 2019. Neonates admitted in Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and Post Natal wards (PNW) were screened. We followed three tier approach of hearing screening. All eligible neonates were subjected to Transient Evoked Oto-acoustic emission (TEOAE) prior to discharge. Automated auditory brainstem response (AABR) hearing screening was conducted in neonates who did not pass TEOAE test. Infant who failed second screening (AABR) were subjected to comprehensive hearing evaluation prior to three months of age. Results: Out of the total 7923 neonates, 7895(99.65%) were screened and 118 (1.49%) newborns referred for comprehensive audiological evaluation. Among them, 27(0.34%) were identified with various degrees of hearing loss. The prevalence of hearing loss was found to be 0.16% and 0.92% among neonates from PNW and NICU respectively. Conclusion: Implementation of Universal newborn hearing screening program is the need of the hour, as early detection of Hearing loss will aid early rehabilitation and better outcomes.

Background: Pneumothorax is a known complication in neonates on ventilation but persistent air leak is infrequently seen in neonates and is troublesome to manage. Persistent air leak on chest tube insertion is suggestive of bronchopleural fistula, often resulting in significant mortality and morbidity. Various modalities of management like multiple chest tube insertions (thoracostomies), selective bronchial occlusion, pleurodesis using talc, tetracycline etc and urgent surgery to repair the leak have been mentioned. Islolated case reports for management of bronchopleural fistula in neonates are abound in literature but consensus and attention should be directed to improve awareness and access to clinical guidelines in management of bronchopleural fistula in neonates. Methods: Our aim was to evaluate the management and outcome of neonates with persistent air leak (bronchopleural fistula). Result: Eighteen neonates with bronchopleural fistula (BPF) were managed from 2012-2018. All neonates were managed by chest tube insertion, and slow suction (10-15cm of H2O). In those patients having persistent pneumothorax despite functioning tube with persistent air leak, second chest tube was inserted in 2nd intercostal space. Five of these patients even had cardiac arrest due to tension pneumothorax but were revived. One neonate required pleurodesis, two expired and remaining improved on multiple chest tube insertion and were discharged. None required selective bronchial intubation or surgery. Conclusion: Tension pneumothorax with persistent air leak on chest tube suggestive of Broncho-pleural fistula is a difficult and a rare problem in neonates. If not timely taken care of it can lead to cardiac arrest but despite cardiac arrest aggressive resuscitation and judicious use of multiple chest tube drainage and slow suction can help these little patients improve.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect any organ and may result in significant morbidity and mortality. Childhood-onset c-SLE is a rare disease with an incidence of 0.3-0.9/100,000 children-years and a prevalence of 3.3-8.8/100,000 children.1 Asians, African American, Hispanic and Native Americans have higher frequency of the disease.2,3 Similar to adult SLE, c-SLE affects mainly females with around 80% of the affected children. According to the literature, the median age of onset is 11-12 years and it is rare in children under 5 years of age. The manifestations of c-SLE are variable and most of the times are atypical compared to adult SLE which make the diagnosis of cSLE a challenge to the treating physician.4 This report shows a series of presentation in pediatric patient who finally was diagnosed with SLE.

I put these observations to the test in a research design alternating 5 minute play periods with fine-motor materials (tinker toys, blocks) with 5 minute periods of play with active gross-motor play equipment. These included a see-saw, boxes tied together to make a “train,” rubberized equipment to jump/bounce on. The children here, unfamiliar with each other, were 4-9 years of age, one child with high functioning autism, one neurotypical peer. The results confirmed my informal observations: the pairs of children, videotaped behind a one way mirror did not play together in the fine-motor condition. Attempts to initiate play by the neurotypical peer were most often ignored by the child with autism, who preferred self-stim or sat unengaged. This reversed when the children were introduced into a gross-motor setting with one piece of equipment and also videotaped behind a one way mirror. The equipment itself helped to structure the interaction: e.g., each child taking a seat on the see-saw, or crawling through the boxes. What was most exciting for us was that the dramatic increases in play here generalized back into the following fine-motor setting. The children “figured out” how to interact together, the neurotypical child often providing clear direction. For example, “hockey sticks” were fashioned out of tinker toys, and the children hit a round piece, i.e., the puck, back and forth on the floor.

We report a case of a neonate who was diagnosed to have intracardiac mass as a fetus and presented with white linear papules that was diagnosed to be Linear Verrucous Epidermal Nevus. Apart from the intracardiac mass, most likely rhabdomyoma, MRI Brain also showed presence of tubers and the Next Generation Sequence Analysis confirmed the diagnosis of Neonatal Tuberous Sclerosis. The neonate remained asymptomatic and was discharged home and remains under close follow up without any symptoms. It is thus suggested that Linear Verrucous Epidermal Nevus, a cutaneous manifestation not described with Tuberous Sclerosis could be considered under the ever-expanding cutaneous signs of Tuberous Sclerosis and should alert the physician toward its possibility.

Introduction: The leading cause of chronic renal failure in newborns, which occurs soon after birth is obstructive uropathies. Objectives: To prove the effectiveness of nephroamniotic shunting based on the evaluation of perinatal outcomes of this procedure, as well as a comparative analysis of the use of the stent manufactured by "Cook" (Ireland), 3.0 Fr/100 mm and the stent “SDE–MED”, 3.0 Fr/50 mm with the original shape of pigtails. Methods: After checking the safety of the stent “SDE-MED”, 3.0 Fr/50 mm developed by FGBU Mother and Child Care Research Institute with the original shape of pigtails in an animal experiment, the stent was used in clinical practice for intrauterine shunting in cases of unilateral or bilateral hydronephrosis of grade III to IV and posterior urethral valve disorder. In the final part of the study, a comparison of the outcomes of nephroamniotic shunting using two different stents was made. Results: The “SDE–MED” 3.0 Fr/50 mm stent provided more effective fixation in the fetal kidney cavity system in comparison to the stent manufactured by “Cook” (Ireland) 3.0 Fr/100 mm. Conclusion: Intrauterine shunting surgery of the upper urinary tract is a pathogenetically justified method of treating urinary tract obstructions and can be used to correct all types of fetal renal obstructions.
