Child Health During War and Disasters: Building Resilience

Indian Academy of Pediatrics Consensus Statement on Diagnosis and Management of Bone and Joint Infections in Children
Indian Pediatr. 2024 Mar 15;61(3):209-218.ABSTRACTJUSTIFICATION: Osteoarticular infections are fairly common in children but often these are associated with underdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis and improper management. This leads to an increased incidence of complications and poor outcomes. Given the paucity of standard protocols for the management of these children in the Indian context, Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) has taken the initiative to formulate guidelines for the early diagnosis and rational management of bone and joint infections (BJIs).OBJECTIVES: To critically evaluate the current evidence and formulate con...

Time to Attain Full Enteral Feeds Among Preterm Fetal Growth Restricted Neonates With Absent/Reversed End-Diastolic Flow
CONCLUSION: Preterm FGR neonates with AREDF are slower to attain FEF, have more feed intolerance, higher mortality, need longer time to regain birth weight, prolonged NICU stay and hospital stay. AREDF, lower gestation, sepsis and thrombocytopenia at birth are significant predictors of delayed full feed attainment among preterm FGR neonates. It is essential to devise strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality among this group of preterm neonates.PMID:38469841 (Source: Indian Pediatrics)
