The Effect of Severe Intraventricular Hemorrhage on the Biorhythms of Feeding in Premature Infants.

Suck-swallow rhythmicity and the integration of breathing into infant feeding are developmentally regulated. Neurological injury and breathing abnormalities can both impact feeding in preterm infants. To determine the effects of neurologic injury independent of effects of disordered breathing on feeding biorhythms in premature infants.

CHARACTERISTICS OF DRUG RESISTANT TUBERCULOSIS IN GEORGIA (2015-2020).

The aim of the study was to assess general characteristics of drug resistant tuberculosis and its association with treatment outcomes in Georgia. A retrospective cohort study was conducted among 1581 DR-TB adult (18+) patients, from 2015 - 2020 cohorts, whose anti-tuberculosis treatment outcomes was known. Adjusted analysis of the study participants data [1581 (100%)] shows significant association of a successful TB treatment outcome with the "Female gender" (adjusted OR 1.

COMPLIANCE OF INITIALLY PRESCRIBED ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS TREATMENT REGIMENS WITH COMPLETE DRUG SUSCEPTIBILITY TEST RESULTS AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH TREATMENT OUTCOMES IN GEORGIA (2015-2020).

Georgia has countrywide access to the genotypic and phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (gDST and pDST), however identification of susceptibility to the different anti-Tuberculosis (TB) drugs in different time period, not in all cases gives us opportunity to simultaneously know susceptibility to the all anti-TB drugs and to build an appropriate treatment regimens based on complete individual DST profile in timely manner. Initial TB treatment regimen prescribed based on gDST results not in all cases may be compliant with complete DST profile, which may be detected based on pDST results within eight weeks only. It's important to know proportion of TB patients, who in period between gDST and pDST results are treated with regimens which is non-compliant with complete individual DST profile and how the use of these inappropriate treatment regimens may affect TB treatment outcome.

Fetal-maternal hemorrhage: a case and literature review.

Nearly all pregnancies include an insignificant hemorrhage of fetal blood into the maternal circulation. In some cases, the hemorrhage is large enough to compromise the fetus, resulting in fetal demise, stillbirth, or delivery of a severely anemic infant. Unfortunately, the symptoms of a significant fetal-maternal hemorrhage can be subtle, nonspecific, and difficult to identify at the time of the event.
