Background: This study explores the link between a mother's dietary variety score and her prenatal eating patterns, focusing on the potential impact on her health and the likelihood of a low-birth-weight baby.
Methods: Mothers at the Ganga Medical Centre and Hospitals in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, were interviewed to measure bio-social variables, including pre-pregnancy weight, height, BMI, total weight gain, and birth weight. Low birth weight was the main measure of interest.
Results: The study found that 63.33% of neonates had a low birth weight, with 68% preterm and 32% late due to IUGR. 45% of mothers had a low BMI during pregnancy and pregnancies.
Conclusion: Nutrition programs should prioritize screening and treating at-risk women, reducing the low-birth-weight infant burden, and promoting better maternal protein intake to improve baby birth weight.

Twins, especially second-born twins, have more unfavorable pregnancy results than singletons. Despite the fact that more than half of twins have been prematurely born, research on auditory brainstem maturation in premature twins is limited. Thus, the goal of this research was to compare the maturation of the maturation of the auditory brainstem in preterm twins and singletons, as well as investigate this maturation process with regard to birth order.

Hearing is crucial for the development of language skills. Many infants and young children with undiagnosed hearing impairments, particularly those with mild to moderate severity and no apparent risk factors, miss out on much of the critical early phase of language and speech development. This cross-sectional, hospital-based observational study was conducted at GSVM Medical College and LLRH Hospital on children aged 6 months to 5 years over a 12-month period.
