One third of all neonates who needs admission after birth with respiratory distress are finally diagnosed as a case of transient tachypnea of newborn. Transient tachypnea of newborn results due to lung fluid collection, ultimately leading to pulmonary edema because of delay in the clearance of fluid. It usually settles down within 2-3 days after birth, but it may persist upto 5th day of 1,2 life. It is very common in dyspneic neonates, with incidence of 4 to 5.7% among term infants, while it 3 may occur upto 10% in pre mature neonates. Beta-1 receptor stimulants like catecholamines and endogenous steroids play critical role in lung fluid absorption and level of these chemicals rise during process of delivery. Neonates with lower level of these endogenous chemicals suffer with decreased rate of clearance of lung fluid, which ultimately results in fluid collection at alveolar level. Most of the time TTN is self-remitting dieses but occasionally it may complicates resulting in severe hypoxia leading to death 4,5 which is labeled as Malignant TTN. Management of TTN requires intensive supportive care unit. Aims of management is to maintain thermo-neutral environ

The Dengue Score (DS) is a useful tool for anticipating plasma leakage. The platelet count, hematocrit (Hct), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ratio and albumin is used for it. Aim: To predict a score useful to detect dengue hemorrhagic fever. Method: The study was retrospective observational. It is done in Dengue wards in Ghurki teaching hospital Lahore and Mayo Hospital Lahore. In the study 100 patients record was taken who were admitted from August 2021 to November 2021. A proforma was filled. SPSS 23 was used for statistical analysis of the data. Results: The mean age was 38.32±13.713. Out of 100 patients 57(57%) were male while 43(43%) were female. 32 were included in dengue score (DS) ≤1, 33 were included in dengue score = 2 and 35 were included in dengue score ≥3. Ascites developed in 6 patients with DS ≤1, 24 with DS ═2, 31 with DS ≥3. Pleural effusion developed in 3 with DS ≤1, 20 with DS ═2, 21 with DS ≥3 so It showed significant association of effusion and ascites with DS = 2 and score ≥3. Conclusion: Dengue score can be calculated by change in hemoconcentration, platelets, serum albumin and AST ratio so it can be used to predict plasma leakage which is part of dengue hemorrhagic fever.

Methods: Two hundred and eighty children fulfilling the inclusion/exclusion criteria admitted in Department of Pediatrics, Services Hospital, Lahore was taken. Informed consent of the parents of children was obtained to include their data in the study. Demographic profile age, gender, was recorded. Every children with acute diarrhea was followed through 5cc venous blood test sent to the hospital laboratory with the help of pramedical staff of the hospital for evaluation of electrolyte imbalance. Results: In our study, out of 280 cases of Pediatric acute diarrhea, 50 %( n=140) had up to 1 year of age. 64%(n=174) were male while 38 %( n=106) were females. Hyponatremia was the most common electrolyte abnormality effecting 22.5% males and 6.5% females followed by hypokalemia.Electrolyte imbalance was more common in children of age group 2-5years. Conclusion: Electrolyte and acid base...
