Title: Prevalence of vitamin d deficiency and its association among preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome Authors: REG N0: BM0121020 Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Vitamin D is an important steroidal hormone with a well-known effect on bone mineralisation. Apart from the effects of Vitamin D on bone and mineral metabolism, Vitamin D has other extraskeletal effects through its action on Vitamin D receptors (VDR) which are present in many organs in the body. One such action is the effect of Vitamin D on the preterm Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) where we had the primary objective to assess if Hypovitaminosis D could be a risk factor for the development of RDS. Also, we intended to find the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency among the preterm neonates and to find the association between Vitamin D deficiency and duration of hospital stay, Neonatal sepsis and HNNE (Hammersmith Neonatal Neurological Examination) scores at 40 weeks PMA.

Title: Cord blood vitamin a levels in Preterms and it’s association with Early neonatal period morbiditiesa Prospective cohort study Authors: REG N0: BM0121019 Abstract: Background and objectives: Vitamin A, a fat soluble vitamin, plays an essential role in early lung and airway tissue differentiation and the retina. Vitamin A also maintains epithelial integrity, bone development, immunity and promotes the maturation of type 2 alveolar epithelial cells. Vitamin A aberration is associated with diseases such as night blindness, corneal ulcers, dry eye, immune dysfunction and respiratory infections. Several studies have reported vitamin A insufficiency to be associated with morbidity of premature infants. Preterm neonates born with low vitamin A levels may have increased risk of developing respiratory distress syndrome, hyperbilirubinemia, sepsis. According to WHO's guidelines on newborn care, it is suggested that infants should receive single oral dose of Vitamin A within first 48 hours after birth to prevent Vitamin A deficiency. This study examines umbilical cord blood to determine Vitamin A levels, also to explore the association of cord blood retinol levels in preterms with early neonatal period health problems.

Title: Evaluation of growth of neonates Born to hypothyroid mothers -A cross-sectional study Authors: REG N0: BM0121018 Abstract: INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of hypothyroidism among pregnant women is 1.5%–4%, according to numerous research conducted worldwide. Of them, subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) predominated, with overt hypothyroidism (OH) accounting for 0.3% to 0.5% of cases. The frequency of maternal hypothyroidism in India has been reported in a variety of research ranging from 1.2% to 67%. Over time, sufficient data has been gathered regarding the thyroid's function in the fetal brain's healthy development. The effect of maternal and fetal thyroid function in the normal range is less known. We therefore aimed to assess neonatal growth parameters Length, Weight, and Head Circumference of babies born to hypothyroid mothers. OBJECTIVES: · Primary objective: To study the growth parameters Length, Weight, and Head Circumference in babies born to hypothyroid mothers · Secondary objective: To study neonatal outcomes like Gestational age, Respiratory complications, Sepsis, and Neonatal jaundice in babies born to hypothyroid mothers.

Title: Correlation between nt- pro brain natriuretic peptide and myocardial dysfunction in children with septic shock –one year cross sectional study Authors: REG.NO: BM0121017 Abstract: Background: Septic shock is a life-threatening condition characterized by systemic inflammation and cardiovascular dysfunction. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) has emerged as a potential biomarker for assessing myocardial dysfunction in critically ill patients. However, limited data are available on the correlation between NT-proBNP levels and myocardial dysfunction specifically in pediatric patients with septic shock. Aim: To assess the link between NT-proBNP and myocardial dysfunction, as well as between NT-proBNP and severity of disease in children with septic shock
