Pattern of Congenital Anomalies of Musculoskeletal System in Newborns : A Hospital Based Study
2016
Background: The present study aims to study the incidence and pattern of musculoskeletal system anomalies in our region. Material And Method: It is a cross-sectional study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, SMGS hospital, GMC Jammu over a period of one year from October 2012 to September 2013. All women diagnosed antenatally with musculoskeletal system anomalies and those women having no antenatal record but after delivery, examination of baby revealed musculoskeletal system anomaly; were included in the study. Maternal and neonatal characteristics were recorded. Results: 49 cases of musculoskeletal anomalies were diagnosed with an incidence of 3.2 per 1000 births. Club foot was the most common anomaly in musculoskeletal system followed by limb and spine deformities, polydactyly, facial dysmorphism, dolichocephaly, achondroplasia, bony dysplasias, deformed head in decreasing order of their frequency. These anomalies were almost equally present between males an...

CONTEXT: Premature infant lung development may be affected by lung injuries during the first few weeks of life. Lung injuries have been associated with changes in lung mechanics. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate an association between lung mechanics and lung structural alterations in very low birth weight infants (birth weight less than 1500 g). DESIGN: A cross-sectional evaluation of pulmonary mechanics (lung compliance and lung resistance) and high resolution computed tomography of the chest at the time of discharge, in 86 very low birth weight infants born at Instituto Fernandes Figueira, a tertiary public healthcare institution in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Lung compliance and resistance were measured during quiet sleep. High resolution computed tomography was performed using Pro Speed-S equipment. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Statistical analysis was performed by means of variance analysis (ANOVA/ Kruskal Wallis). The significance level was set at 0.05. RESULTS: Abnormal values for both lung complian...

Objectives: The present study was undertaken 1. To know the incidence of congenital musculoskeletal malformations in neonates 2. To assess the relation of congenital musculoskeletal malformations with maternal age, parity and birth weight of the newborn 3. To compare the data obtained with other studies Materials and Method: The data for the study was collected from the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Paediatrics, Cheluvamba Hospital, attached to Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, Mysore. The study was done for a period of one year during which period, thirty seven babies with musculoskeletal malformations were diagnosed. Results: The incidence of congenital musculoskeletal malformation in our study was 2.9/1000 births. 43.3% of cases were observed in mothers belonging to age group of 21-25 years. Malformations were more common in first and second para (45.9% each) and declined with increased parity.43.2% of the babies showed anomalies with birth weight above 2501grams. Conclusion: The above study revealed the incidence of congenital musculoskeletal malformation and musculoskeletal malformations were common in mothers of younger age group, common in first and second para and significant number of babies were born with birth weight above 2501grams. Conclusion: The above study revealed the incidence of congenital musculoskeletal malformation. Musculoskeletal malformations were common in newborn babies of mothers of younger age group of 15-20years, common in babies of mothers of first and second para and significant number of malformations were found in babies born with birth weight weighing above 2501grams
A randomized controlled trial of early physiotherapy for high-risk infants
Acta Paediatrica, 1996
The aim of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that inhints a t high risk ofcci-ebrul palsy would benefit from early physiotherapy. In total, 105 infants with abnormal cranial ultrasound sc;ins were randomized a t around term to early physiotherapy or standard treatment (dclaying physiotherapy until abnormal physical signs became apparent). At 12 and 30 months there wcre clinical and objcctive asscssments. Nine infants died and nine were lost to follow-up by 12 months whcn 87 infants wcrc assessed. One other child had died and three others were lost to follow-up by 30 months whcn 83 children were assessed. Cerebral palsy was only accurately predicted in 45 (54%) infants. Thew was no difference in outcome. The difficulty of predicting cerebral palsy reliably and the heterogeneity o f thc condition should be borne in mind when planning treatment and assessing its efficacy. oC'oc,h/~trll,rrl.s~..
Incidence of congenital thoracic malformations detected by prenatal ultrasound
Pediatrics International, 2019
Background: The increased and earlier use of prenatal ultrasound has facilitated the detection of congenital thoracic malformations (CTMs). Our Pediatric Pulmonology Institute follows an increasing number of patients with CTMs. Thus, we aimed to evaluate and describe prenatal sonographic findings of CTM, and to estimate changes in detection rates of CTMs over a period of 16 years. Methods: A retrospective, cross-section analysis of prenatal ultrasound (US) screening tests carried out in a large community-based clinic, comparing two periods:
Thoracic sequels after thoracotomies in children with congenital cardiac disease
Cardiology in the young, 2003
The standard surgical approach for closed heart procedures in small infants and children is to use a posterolateral thoracotomy incision, which results in the division of the latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior muscles. The aim of our study was to determine the frequency and type of musculoskeletal deformities in children undergoing surgery with this approach for congenital cardiac disease. We included 49 children, 28 boys and 21 girls, in the study. Their mean age was 10.2 +/- 4.8 years, the mean age at the time of surgery was 3.8 +/- 4.0 years, and they were evaluated at an average of 6 years after the thoracotomy. Of the patients, 94% had various musculoskeletal deformities. Scoliosis was observed in 15 patients (31%) but only in two patients did the curves exceed 25 degrees. Of these patients, three-fifths had aortic coarctation. Elevation of the shoulder was seen in 61%, winged scapula in 77%; while 14% had asymmetry of the thoracic wall due to the atrophy of the serratus an...

IntroductionAlthough respiratory physiotherapy techniques may reduce respiratory load in newborns, manual contact with the ribcage may interfere with pulmonary mechanics. Therefore, this systematic review aims to evaluate the effects of conventional and non-conventional respiratory physiotherapies on pulmonary mechanics of newborns.Methods and analysisWe will search PubMed, LILACS, SciELO, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Central and Web of Science databases. Searches will be conducted from September 2022. We will include randomised clinical trials reporting thoracoabdominal synchrony, lung volumes and capacities, respiratory discomfort and pain in newborns aged between 1 hour and 28 days and admitted to neonatal intensive care units. We will exclude studies not fully available or incomplete and studies conducted with newborns presenting structural alterations. Two independent researchers will perform the study selection, data extraction and quality assessment. After consensus, one reviewer ...
