Correlation of Plethysmograph Variability Index with Inferior Vena Cava Index in Spontaneously Breathing Neonates – A Cross Sectional Study
AbstractInferior vena cava (IVC) indices are commonly used to assess the need for fluid bolus during shock. It needs expertise and is difficult to do during surgical procedures. Plethysmograph variability index (PVI) is a simpler non-invasive tool used to measure fluid responsiveness in adults. However, the data on PVI in neonates is limited. This cross-sectional observational study was done at a tertiary level NICU to correlate PVI and IVC among spontaneously breathing neonates. The PVI was documented using the Masimo Radical 7 pulse oximeter. The IVC collapsibility index (IVC CI) was determined by bedside ultrasound...

Clinical and Molecular Spectrum of Patients with Methylmalonic Acidemia
Conclusions This study cohort had MMA cblC subtype as the most common type of MMA followed by the MMA mutase defect. Outcomes in MMA are influenced by the type of molecular defect, age, and severity of presentation. Early detection and management is likely to result in better outcomes.

Effect of Long-term Inhaled Corticosteroids on the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis in Children with Asthma
ConclusionsIn this study, a few children had low post-ACTH stimulation cortisol values; however, none had clinical evidence of HPA axis suppression. Therefore, ICS is a safe drug in children for treating asthma, even for long-term use. (Source: Indian Journal of Pediatrics)
