Abstract:

Understanding parents’ feeding control practices and their associations with various factors is useful for prevention of childhood obesity. Two cross-sectional studies were conducted in urban Dong Da (n=1364) and rural Ba Vi districts (n=1313) Hanoi, Vietnam. Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ) was used. Mothers reported the use of more restriction, pressure to eat and monitoring than the fathers. The measured child’s Body Mass Index (BMI) and the mother’s perception of the child’s weight were negatively associated with pressure to eat and positively associated with monitoring. A positive association was found between restriction and the mother’s perception of the child’s weight. In the rural area, high consumption of fatty food, sweets and snacks was associated with high use of restriction and monitoring. The amount of food consumed was negatively associated with the use of pressure to eat. In the urban area, consumption of fatty food and sweets was positively correlated both with restriction and pressure to eat. Monitoring was negatively associated with consumption of fatty food and snacks and positively with the amount of food. Higher education of the mothers was associated with higher use of monitoring, restriction (in the urban area) and pressure to eat (in the rural area). Feeding practices in Vietnam differed between mothers and fathers and between urban and rural areas. This implies that parental roles as well as socio-demographic factors should be considered when designing programs for prevention of childhood overweight and obesity.

Abstract:

Airway management is an important skill for all medical staff to practice, particularly within difficult scenarios. To address this, we will create this workshop of airway management for introducing advanced airway techniques to all medical staff (physician, residents nurses and fellows) Emergency airway management is associated with a high complication rate. Evaluating the patient prior to airway management is important to identify patients with increased risk of failed airways pediatric airway management should be systematic and well planned. This workshop will describe the steps in appropriate airway management these steps include clinical assessment, preparation of equipment and staff, and a progression through a series of interventions. A good foundation of basic skills, such as understanding of pediatric airway-anatomy, head positioning, and correct bag-valve-mask or Bag-mask Ventilation (BVM), are necessary for appropriate airway management. The majority of patients requiring Endotracheal Intubation (ETI) can be successfully intubated with Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI). A difficult airway may occasionally be encountered and the medical staff must have alternative methods for the support of ventilation and oxygenation if RSI failed Video laryngoscopes are claimed to improve airway management. Several studies showed an equal or better glottic view using the Glidescope compared with direct laryngoscopy in adults and in paediatric patients. Many case reports also described successful intubation in patients with a difficult airway. Learning Objectives At the conclusion of this educational workshop, participants will be able to apply a thorough understanding and practical knowledge of the basics of airway assessment in your clinical practice recognizes the signs of potentially difficult intubation and airway management. Develop a plan for dealing with a known difficult airway. Discuss indications for various airway management devices. Develop effective management strategies to deal with challenging airway scenarios. Demonstrate working knowledge and practice of a variety of airway management devices (oropharyngeal tube - Nasopharyngeal tune - Laryngeal mask airway -Endo tracheal tube - Ambu bag - video laryngoscop).

Abstract:

In today’s world, one of the most grappling concerns with respect to health issues is obesity and especially pediatrics obesity. There have been cases where the causes for overweight were medical reason but the intervention which really made the difference was use of eclectic approach. In this approach, holistic health is taken care off by involving all the stakeholders related to the obese individual. According to WHO, obesity is a nutritional health issue that has excessive storage of energy in the form of fat as per height, weight, race and gender. Obesity can lead to various other health problems like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure etc. Though people have been trying out numerous ways of controlling/reducing weight but the fight against obesity has become a major challenge for children, adults and health practitioners worldwide. This research article aims to understand the bio-psychosocial causes and consequences of the obesity that can help to create an effective approach for the health professionals to handle current obesity epidemic.

Abstract:

Introduction: Virtual reality (VR) is a computer technology that creates an artificial 3-dimensional simulated environment. Virtual reality consists of a head-mounted display and a thick pair of goggles that are connected to either a computer or a cell phone. Although originally designed for entertainment purposes, the potential use of VR in the medical field has recently been explored. Experimental trials using VR in therapy for anxiety or posttraumatic stress disorder and for coping with pain demonstrate potential for this technology. Distraction is a common non-pharmacologic technique used by health care professionals to manage and attenuate anxiety, and possibly pain, during painful procedures in pediatric patients. Both passive distraction (e.g., watching television, listening to a book) and active distraction (e.g., interactive toys, electronic games) have been extensively studied and cause a decrease in pain and anxiety. Virtual reality might offer even more distraction, as it completely immerses the patient in another world and involves multiple senses. Method: This study is conducted to assess the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality therapy on pain and anxiety among 60 children aged between 3 years to 12 years undergoing various painful procedures in UMAID Hospital, Jodhpur. India. Post-test only designs were adopted. The invasive procedure includes collecting blood samples, venipuncture, IM injection and SC injections. Ethical permission was obtained from institutional ethical committee and informed consent was obtained from children above 7 years and from parents of children below 7 years. Randomly children were assigned to control group and experimental group; 30 in each group. The children in control group received standard care (toys and verbal distraction, etc.) during invasive procedure and they were assessed for pain and anxiety level after 60 seconds of procedure by using numerical visual pain scale and Wong Baker facial expression scale. Children in the experimental group given head-mounted virtual reality display connected to smart phone (played 3D video) during invasive procedures and allowed to play the video for 5 minutes before the procedure and until 60 seconds after the procedure. The child pain and anxiety was observed during the time of procedure through Wong Baker pain scale and after the procedure children were asked to describe the level of pain and anxiety through numerical visual pain and anxiety scale for further validation. Result: The result showed that children in the experimental group experienced less pain and anxiety than the children in the control group. There is positive correlation exists between pain and anxiety level. The age and type of procedure has significant association with level of pain. The age, sex and type of procedure had significant association with level of anxiety. Conclusion: VR distraction appears to be most effective for children with the pain during invasive procedure. VR is thought to reduce pain and anxiety by directing children’s attention into the virtual world, leaving less attention available to process incoming neural signals from pain receptors. This solution can be easily applied by nurses in their clinical practice.

Abstract:

Malnutrition is an unspecific term used to define an inadequate nutritional condition. It is characterized by either a deficiency or an excess of energy with measurable adverse effects on clinical outcome. Malnutrition describes the consequences of insufficient protein-energy intake. An adequate proteinenergy balance is a prerequisite for age-appropriate growth and maintenance. Malnutrition also comprises circumstances of elevated energy supply resulting in overnutrition with an increase in adipose tissue. Even though malnutrition has been defined or described in many ways, no consensus exists regarding a specific definition to identify children at risk. The WHO recommends the weight-for-height index to assess the nutritional status of children and adolescents. However, it is proposed that a loss in body weight of 5% constitutes acute malnutrition and a height-for-age value below the 5th percentile may reflect chronic undernourishment in children. Ironically, many children suffering from cancer do not meet these criteria. Particularly those with large solid abdominal masses (e.g. embryonal neoplasms such as neuroblastoma,hepatoblastoma, or Wilms tumor) may present with normal weight despite severe malnutrition. Nutritional depletion may furthermore be masked in children by edema due to corticosteroid treatment. Even if no gold standarddefinition for undernourishment in children exists, concise definitions are needed for the institution of preventive policies. We provide a critical review of the current state of research and knowledge related to the nutritional management in childhood cancer.
