Background: Calcium deficiency is common in pregnant women and newborn infants. There are few data about the prevalence of calcium deficiency during pregnancy and infancy in Algeria. We assessed calcium status of pregnant women and their neonates in Sidi Bel Abbes, west of Algeria. The current study aimed to determine the prevalence of hypocalcemia in pregnancy and in their new born and to correlate maternal calcium status with neonates' calcium and birth weight.

BACKGROUND: Cardio vascular malformations are the most common congenital malformations. Early recognition of congenital heart disease is important in the neonatal period, as many of them may be fatal if undiagnosed. AIM: To study the epidemiology of neonatal cardiac murmurs. To identify clinical characteristics which differentiates pathological murmur from functional murmurs to assess the reliability of clinical evaluation in diagnosing congenital heart disease? METHODS: The study population included all neonates admitted in a Hospital in Visakhapatnam to the NICU, postnatal ward, attending pediatric OPD and were detected to have cardiac murmurs. It was a cross sectional study over a period of 16 months. A clinical diagnosis was made based on history and clinical examination. Then Chest X ray and ECG were done in symptomatic infants. Echo cardiography was done in all neonates for confirmation of diagnosis, the neonates were again examined daily till they were in hospital and during the follow up visit at 6 weeks. RESULTS: A total of 61 neonates were included and was conducted over a period of 16 months. The incidence of cardiac murmurs among intramural neonates was 13.5 for 1000 live births. Most frequent symptom was fast breathing in 10[16.4%] cases. VSD was the most common diagnosis clinically in 19[31.47%] babies. The most frequent diagnosis was acyanotic complex congenital heart disease, Only intra mural neonates were considered for the incidence of murmurs and the incidence of cardiac murmurs among them babies was 13.5 for 1000 live in 23[37.7%] cases followed by 10[16.4%] cases each of VSD and ASD respectively. Overall in our study 73.77% [45 cases] of the murmurs were diagnosed correctly and confirmed by Echocardiography. INTERPRETATIONS & CONCLUSIONS: 1. It is possible to make clinical diagnosis in many cases of congenital heart diseases. 2. The functional murmurs could be differentiated from those arising from structural heart disease. 3. By evaluation of these infants only based on murmurs few congenital heart diseases be missed.

“…In addition to the sudden change in ambient temperature, newborns are prone to develop hypothermia because of their large surface area per unit of body weight[2]. The problem is more prevalent among very low birth weight and low birth weight babies as they have less subcutaneous fat and a reduced amount of brown fat, and a poorly developed response to thermal stress [2–4]. Lack of attention by health care providers and inappropriate care of newborns during childbirth are additional important factors contributing to neonatal hypothermia[5].…”

Introduction Neonatal hypothermia is one of the main underlying factors associated with neonatal deaths. Objective The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence and factors associated with neonatal hypothermia on admission to neonatal intensive care units in Southwest Ethiopia. Methods Institution-based cross-sectional study design was employed between February to September 2017 at intensive care units of Arba Minch and Jinka General Hospitals. All neonates admitted to the two neonatal intensive care units during the study period were included in the study. Data were collected by four nurses who were working in the units of the hospitals through semi-structured pre-tested questionnaire and checklist. Multi-variable logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variables using odds ratio with a confidence interval of 95% and a p-value of 0.05. Results The prevalence of neonatal hypothermia on admission to the neonatal intensive care units in this study area was 50.3%. Admission weight below 2500 gm. (AOR = 3.61, 95% CI: 2.10, 6.18), delay in initiation of breastfeeding (AOR = 2.42, 95% CI: 1.45, 4.02), early bathing (AOR = 2.63, 95% CI: 1.23, 5.63), admissions during cold season (AOR = 1.72, 95% CI: 1.04, 2.84), and presence of obstetrical complication(s) during pregnancy/labor (AOR = 2.46, 95% CI: 1.07, 5.66) were factors significantly associated with hypothermia on admission to the neonatal intensive care units. Conclusions The prevalence of neonatal hypothermia on admission to the intensive care units was high. There is a need to create awareness among the community members about the dangers of early bathing and late initiation of breastfeeding. It is also important to give attention to the newborns of mothers with obstetric complications, low-birth-weight babies and babies delivered during the cold season.
