Uncovering the Presentation and Diagnosis of Human Bocavirus in a Patient at a Tertiary Care Center: A Case Report.

A toddler, thriving well, developmentally normal, and fully immunized, presented with fever, cough, and cold for a day, followed by breathing difficulty. Although the child was not ill upon admission, he had a fever and was breathing rapidly. On examination, visible sub-costal retractions and wheezing in both lungs were noted.

Factors Affecting Survival in Severe and Very Severe COPD after Admission in ICUs of Tertiary Care Centers of India (FAST COPD): Study Protocol for a Multicentric Cohort Study.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, there is a lack of comprehensive data from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) regarding factors influencing COPD outcomes, particularly in regions where biomass exposure is prevalent.

Objective: The Factors Affecting Survival in Severe and Very Severe COPD Patients Admitted to Tertiary Centers of India (FAST) study aims to address this gap by evaluating factors impacting survival and exacerbation rates among COPD patients in LMICs like India, with a specific focus on biomass exposure, clinical phenotypes, and nutritional status in patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Effect of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Humidity on Neonates: A Systematic Review.

This study explores the role of room humidity levels in the neonate intensive care unit (NICU) and how they impact their growth and development in this fragile stage. The study considers seven relevant studies that have explored this factor in different settings. Humidity's role in developing neonatal conditions, such as respiratory distress and fungal infections, is also elaborated on.

Rural Versus Urban Mothers' Microbiome Difference and Its Effect on Neonates: A Systematic Review.

The growth and development of microorganisms are stimulated by external stimuli. Urbanization has changed the macroenvironment and individual microenvironmental factors such as smoking, alcohol, and diet, which can alter the microbiota and influence disease in the mother and child. However, the microbiome difference between rural and urban mothers and its effect on neonates have received little attention, as per sources; we have not found any systematic review.

An Early Presentation of Spontaneous Intestinal Perforation in a Very Low Birth Weight Neonate: A Case Report.

Pneumoperitoneum is typically caused by breached hollow viscera and necessitates surgical intervention. This may have various etiologies, including spontaneous, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and obstruction. In these cases, spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP) is a unique clinical entity with a better outcome than newborns with NEC-related intestinal perforation.
