Functional status of Indian children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
Rheumatol Immunol Res
June 2024
Background And Objectives: The functional disability status of Indian children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis is unidentified. In this cross-sectional study functional capacity of 60 juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients was assessed by the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire.
Methods: A total of 60 juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients aged ranges from 1 to 12 years were recruited from a teaching hospital in eastern India.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess blood pressure in Indian children aged 5 to 12 from different altitudes, comparing those near sea level to those living at higher elevations in the Himalayas.
- Using trained doctors, blood pressure was measured in 1,229 children, revealing a significant increase in both systolic and diastolic readings as altitude increased.
- The findings suggest that blood pressure readings in children vary with altitude, providing important information for better interpretation of these readings in high-altitude populations.
Introduction: We aimed to evaluate joint mechanics in newborn by goniometric assessment of major joints in healthy babies born at different gestational ages (GAs).
Materials And Methods: An institution based observational study was carried out on healthy newborn babies within two days of birth. Study subjects were born at 28-41 completed weeks of gestation.
Objective: To explore association between serum ferritin and severity of sepsis among children, and relate levels to the final outcome.
Methods: This observational study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital between I February and 30 July, 2019. Serum ferritin level was estimated in children (age 6 months to 12 years) suffering from sepsis, irrespective of the probable etiology.
Objectives: To determine the burden and etiological factors of leave against medical advice (LAMA) in Indian children.
Methodology: In this prospective study, legal guardians of 528 patients who took the decision of LAMA were interviewed (using structured question answers based multi-option) and data were captured over a period of 16 months. The resultant database was analyzed using standard statistical methods.
Background: Published Indian studies on the economic burden of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are lacking.
Methods: A prospective observational study recruited pediatric patients aged from 1 to 12 years with JIA in the pediatric rheumatology clinic of a public sector tertiary care hospital. Direct healthcare costs and indirect costs for transportation, accommodation of the caregivers, and productivity loss for work absenteeism were assessed.
Evolution of clinical method for new-born infant maturity assessment.
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med

In the routine practice of neonatology, differentiating preterm premature new-born from small-for-date (SFD) new-born infant is an essential aspect to anticipate different clinical scenarios and monitor accordingly. Clinical assessment of new-born maturity is an invincible tool in resource poor areas for the purpose, without any prior investment. Over the past decades, clinical method for new-born infant maturity assessment has evolved intricately.
