To Study the Iodine Concentration of Mothers' Consumed Salt, Water, and Staple Food in the Neonatal Screening Program of Rural and Urban Vidarbha Region.

Background: This study aimed to examine the iodine concentration in the food items consumed by mothers participating in neonatal screening programs in both areas of the Vidarbha region. A developing fetus relies on a consistent supply of iodine for proper brain and body development. During pregnancy, only the mother can provide the necessary iodine levels.

To Study the Thyroid Hormone Levels in Neonates of Rural and Urban Vidarbha Region.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate thyroid hormone levels in neonates from the rural and urban Vidarbha region. Over the past decade, neonatal hypothyroidism screening has been conducted using filter paper techniques to identify congenital hypothyroidism (CH). In some screening programs, only T4 is measured initially, with TSH assessed if the T4 levels fall below normal.

Comprehensive Neonatal Screening for Genetic Disorders in Tribal Populations of Central India.

Background: : Genetic disorders, including sickle cell disease (SCD), thalassemia, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, pose significant health challenges in central India, especially among tribal populations. Comprehensive neonatal screening is crucial for early diagnosis and management.

Aim And Objective: This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of SCD, thalassemia, and G6PD deficiency in newborns from tribal regions of central India and assess the impact of comprehensive neonatal screening programs.

The Neonatal Screening for Sickle Cell Disease, Thalassemia, and G6PD Deficiency in Central India.

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD), thalassemia, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency are significant genetic disorders prevalent in Central India, particularly among tribal populations. Early detection through the neonatal screening can improve health outcomes.

Aim And Objective: This study aims to assess the prevalence of SCD, thalassemia, and G6PD deficiency in a cohort of newborns from tribal regions in Central India and to evaluate the effectiveness of neonatal screening programs.
