Neonatal hypernatremic dehydration in breastfed neonates: a prospective study unmasking the influences of breastfeeding practices and early weight monitoring.

 Hypernatremic dehydration in neonates is an uncommon but serious reason for re-hospitalization, especially in exclusively breastfed neonates. The aim was to study the incidence, associated maternal and neonatal characteristics and risk factors, and presenting features of neonatal hypernatremic dehydration (NHD).  A prospective study design was employed to enroll full-term newborns admitted with serum sodium concentrations of ≥145 mEq/L from April 2022 to March 2023 at a tertiary care rural hospital.

I'll be back - Predictive validity of adults' expectations for recovery after fractures - A longitudinal observational study.

Purpose: Recovery after fractures due to accidents relates to all aspects of the biopsychosocial model. Therefore, it is difficult for the patients to foresee the consequences of the fractures. This study aimed to examine 1) patients' expectations regarding the impact of the injury on everyday life, 2) predictive validity of their expectations after six months, and 3) factors that predict a return to work.

Reliability of the Wii Balance Board for measurement of steady state balance in children aged 6-9 years.

Purpose: The Wii Balance Board (WBB) can be used for assessment of steady state balance (SSB), but its reliability has not been studied in children aged 6-9 years. This study aimed to determine the test-retest reliability of the WBB for measuring SSB in this population. A secondary aim was to determine the minimum detectable change (MDC) and standard error of measurement (SEM) of the WBB in children aged 6-9 years.

Change in sense of coherence and health-related quality of life after injury - a prospective cohort study.

Purpose: To investigate how accidents leading to fracture affect sense of coherence and health-related quality of life 6 months later and the association between the two phenomena.

Materials And Methods: A cohort study including 201 patients admitted to hospital with fractures was conducted. Data were based on structured interviewing a few days after admission and 6 months later.

Importance of a patient-centred approach in ensuring quality of post-fracture rehabilitation for working aged people: A qualitative study of therapists' and patients' perspectives.

Background: Quality in rehabilitation is important for recovery and return to work for people at working age, who sustain fractures, but there is limited information about what constitutes quality in rehabilitation.

Objective: To identify factors that therapists and patients define as quality in the rehabilitation process for working population after simple or multiple fractures.

Methods: The study is a qualitative study based on grounded theory approach with semi-structured interviews conducted individually or in focus groups.
