“…H. pylori prevalence during pregnancy is vary widely between different geographical regions (4,5). So, the increasing importance of the subject demands a systematic review and meta-analysis in order to put all the relevant documents together and presenting a complete picture of this problem in pregnant women around the world (10,11). Therefore, in the current study, which aimed to estimate the prevalence of H. pylori infection in pregnant women, systematic review and meta-analysis has been used.…”

Objectives: Pregnant women are among the most vulnerable groups for Helicobacter pylori infection. The infection may cause nausea, vomiting, anemia, fetal growth restriction, fetal anomalies and low birth weight of infants. H. pylori prevalence during pregnancy is vary widely between different geographical regions and given the importance of this infection in pregnancy, systematic review and meta-analysis has been done. Materials and Methods:The current study has been conducted based on PRISMA guideline. The time interval of the investigated studies was from the beginning of 2000 until March 2016. In order to achieve the related literature, databases sources such as Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane, Embase, Springer, Wiley online library, as well as Google Scholar search engine was used. The search was done using Mesh keywords. Furthermore, all the articles that met the inclusion criteria were evaluated. The data has been analyzed using the random-effects models for meta-analysis and the Stata 11.1. Results: In 24 studies, a total of 19426 pregnant women had been investigated. The worldwide prevalence of H. pylori infection in pregnant women was calculated to be 46% (95% CI: 38-54). The lowest prevalence of H. pylori infection was seen in Europe, 25% (95% CI: 9-40) and the highest prevalence in South America 62% (95% CI: 53-71 IntroductionThroughout the history of the world, the ones who had confronted the bitterest face of poverty and war had always been the women. As known poverty and war affects human health either directly or indirectly, the effects of this condition on health and status of women in the society should not be ignored. This study intends to cast light on the effects of war and poverty on the reproductive health of women. For this purpose, the face of war affecting the women, the problem of immigration, inequalities in distribution of income based on gender and the effects of all these on the reproductive health of women will be addressed.

“…Moreover, supportive therapy such as oxygen supplementation, fluid maintenance, and mechanical ventilation may have detrimental side effects when not used properly. Preterm infants can possibly suffer from ventilator-induced lung injury, 8 bronchopulmonary dysplasia, 9 retinopathy of prematurity, 10 and other catastrophic problems.…”

Background Prematurity is still the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in neonates. The premature change of the environment causes stress, which leads to hemodynamic instability. Music therapy may have a positive impact on hemodynamic parameters of preterm infants in the NICU. Objective To evaluate preterm infants’ physiological responses to music therapy in NICU setting. Methods A systematic review was performed in 12 electronic databases from March 2000–April 2018. Our review included all English language publications on parallel or crossover RCTs of music therapy versus standard care or placebo in preterm infants. The outcomes were physiological indicators [heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), and oxygen saturation (SaO2)]. Risk of bias was assessed using the Revised Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2.0). Results The search yielded 20 articles on 1,148 preterm infants of gestational age 28 and 37 weeks, who received recorded music, recorded maternal/male voice or lullaby, or live music interventions in the NICU with intensity of 30–76 dB. Recorded music improved all outcomes in 6, 6, and 4 of 16 studies for HR, RR, and SaO2, respectively. Seven studies used classical music as melodic elements. However, eight studies showed no significant results on all outcomes. Conclusion Despite the finding that music interventions demonstrate promising results in some studies, the variation in quality of the studies, age groups, outcome measures, as well as type and timing of the interventions across the studies make it difficult to draw overall conclusions about the effects of music in preterm infants.

“…Unmonitored oxygen supplementation also showed a significant association with ROP (p value =0.029). 30 ( 55.36%) babies of ROP group had history of oxygen support without proper saturation monitoring, while 32 (36.78%) babies of the non ROP group had the same history. Statistically this difference was found to be significant (p value =0.023).…”

BACKGROUND Retinopathy of prematurity, earlier known as retrolental fibroplasia, continues to be a major cause of preventable blindness in children. Increase in the incidence of ROP even in heavier babies, reminds us of the first epidemic of 1940s. Early detection and timely management can reduce the burden of ROP blindness to a large extent. We wanted to detect ROP in babies weighing more than 1500 grams at birth and analyse the risk factors associated with the same. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis (2 years) of 286 eyes (143 babies) with ROP. Qualitative data was analysed with the chi-square test. p Value <0.05 was considered as significant. RESULTS The mean birth weight was 1566.43 gms. (range 1500 gms. to 2000 g) and the mean period of gestation was 33.6 weeks (range 30 to 36). 286 eyes of 143 babies were evaluated, out of which 56 babies had signs of ROP. 6 babies needed urgent intervention and underwent laser ablative therapy and anti-VEGF. Multiple blood transfusions (p value =0.03), septicaemia (p value=0.0011) and oxygen supply (p value=0.029) showed significant correlation with the development of ROP CONCLUSIONS Customized screening guidelines are needed for developing countries. Stringent screening at the SNCU analysing the risk factors is required to battle the menace of ROP.
