BACKGROUND Between 1990 and 2011, global neonatal mortality decline was slower than that of under-five mortality. As a result, the proportion of under-five deaths due to neonatal mortality increased. This increase is primarily a consequence of decreasing post-neonatal and child under-five mortality as a result of the typical focus of child survival programmes of the past two decades on diseases...

abstract background: a newborn is highly fragile whose death can be caused by embryonic, intra partum, and postpartum factors. identifying the causes of death is the first step to be taken in order to decrease the death rate. the present study was aimed at finding out how neonatal factors and therapeutic actions affect death of newborn babies. materials and methods: this is a case-control study...

Studies of biological properties of newborn larvae of Trichinella spiralis and immune responses against newborn larvae in the host are reviewed. The biological properties of newborn larvae examined are the natural production, migration, surface antigens and their maturity and effects on the host. Various mechanisms of host immunity to newborn larvae are reviewed, including the stage specificity...

We developed a video and an app for obtaining consent about allowing newborn blood spots (NBS) to be used as biospecimen resources biobanking. Newborn screening programs test treatable diseases leave residual biospecimens that can in future research activities. conducted focus groups interviews with three diverse communities determine (a) how well the tools worked (b) participant familiarity NB...

background: the interaction between follicular cells and oocyte leads to a change in gene expression involved in oocyte maturation processes. objective: the purpose of this study was to quantify the expression of more common genes involved in follicular growth and oocyte developmental competence. materials and methods: in this experimental study, the expression of genes was evaluated with qrt-p...

The hospital stay of the mother and her healthy term newborn infant should be long enough to allow identification of problems and to ensure that the mother is sufficiently recovered and prepared to care for herself and her newborn at home. The length of stay should be based on the unique characteristics of each mother-infant dyad, including the health of the mother, the health and stability of ...

BACKGROUND Neonatal mortality has remained resistant to change in the wake of declining child mortality. Suboptimal newborn care practices are predisposing factors to neonatal mortality. Adherence to four ANC consultations is associated with improved newborn care practices. There is limited documentation of this evidence in sub-Saharan Africa where suboptimal newborn care practices has been wid...
