Abstracts stimulant drugs. There is significant interest in the role of omega 3 fatty acids in ameliorating ADHD symptoms. We reviewed the evidence from available randomized controlled trials. Clinical question In a child with ADHD (patient), will supplementation with LCPUFA (omega3) (intervention) improve symptoms (outcome)? Sources Pubmed, Sumsearch, Ovid and Cochraine library. 7 randomised control trials were analysed.
responsible for 73.8% of assaults and father by 44.3%, and in some cases both are equally liable. Conclusion This study draws attention to the magnitude of the problem to be faced by those in the routine is responsible for the comprehensive care for the child's health.
Methods Web-based questionnaire (Survey monkey ® ), developed by the NEonatal Sepsis Trial NETwork (http://www.nest-net.org), was sent to neonatologists worldwide. Questions regarding management (n = 7) were introduced by scenarios levelled to low-, medium-and high risk for neonatal EOS. Demographic questions (n = 4) are based on competency, caseload, experience of fatal cases (deaths) and country of origin. Results 439 Neonatologist from 10 countries participated. Laboratory investigations are used in 31% to start, and in 72% to stop antibiotic treatment. The decision regarding stop of antibiotic therapy is mainly dependent on conventional laboratory investigations. Only a minority uses newer infection markers as procalcitonin (17%) or interleukins (9%). There is a high variance in when to start and when to stop antibiotic therapy with a national distribution. Variance is lower within one country compared to the variance in all participating countries. There is no dependency on other demographic variables. Conclusions There is a high variance in the management of neonatal EOS. Discontinuation has a high dependency on laboratory infection markers. Clinical research should focus on safety and predictive values of (new) infection markers to support the decision to stop antibiotic therapy early and prevent possibly unnecessary antibiotic treatment. Objetives The control of tuberculosis (TB) transmission and prevention of outbreaks requires appropriate studies for the contacts. We're going to present an outbreak of tuberculosis in a daycare centre. Methods A case of pulmonary TB were reported in a 3 years old boy from a daycare, admitted with pneumonia without response to conventional antibiotic therapy, tuberculin test (PPD):5 mm, positive quantiferon. Study of family contacts was negative. PO-0254 TUBERCULOSIS OUTBREAK IN A DAYCARE CENTREAfter that pulmonary TB was confirmed in a caregiver from the daycare, she was considered baciliferus and also the index case. Results Contact study was performed in 90 persons exposed. 85%(77/90) contacts from the daycare (67 children under 3 years and 10 adults).15 people had positive tuberculin, 8 contacts from the daycare (7 children and 1 caregiver). 5 patients of the group mentioned before were considered latent tuberculosis infection, receiving secondary chemoprophylaxis and 3 were diagnosed with tuberculosis disease, being treated with satisfactory outcome in all cases.The index case had over a month off work so that children with negative tuberculin was repeated at 5 weeks being negative in all cases. Conclusions TB in children can be confused with other typical lung infections, however, must be ruled out if it has a subacute respiratory symptoms and poor response to conventional treatment. It's really important the rapid detection of contacts incase of adults with TB disease, especially if those work with susceptible people like children. The PPD is still an easy and simple tool for unvaccinated contacts diagnostic.
AbstractsMethods A questionnaire was administered that addressed gender, age, number of household members, monthly family income, history of jaundice and immunization, number of rooms in the house, education level of the parents, day-care/school attendance, and type of water supply. The socioeconomic status score of each child was determined by summing the scores for monthly family income, education level of the parents, number of rooms in the house and number of people living in the house. Blood samples were collected and analyzed for anti-HAV IgG. Results Significant associations between anti-HAV seropositivity and socioeconomic status, age under 6 years old and attending daycare, a history of jaundice and monthly family income were found (p<0.001, p=0.003, p<0.001, p=0.04, respectively). Only the association between the history of jaundice and anti-HAV seropositivity remained significant in the multivariate analysis, with an adjusted Odds ratio of 13.1 (range: 2.9-59.5; p=0.001). Conclusions Our findings showed an inverse correlation between HAV seropositivity and socioeconomic status. A high in-house population and paternal education level were not a significant factor increasing the risk of anti-HAV positivity. However, as the maternal education level increased, less HAV positivity was recorded. Background and Aims Toxoplasmosis is a cosmopolitan infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii, clinical features varying from asymptomatic infection to severe systemic manifestations. Brazil has one of the highest incidence rates of congenital toxoplasmosis in the world with estimated rates of 1:3000 live births. Knowledge of the incidence, etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of infections during pregnancy, childbirth and neonatal period is relevant because it may cause damage to the fetus and newborn, representing a public health problem worldwide. The aim of this study is evaluate the quality of neonatal screening for congenital toxoplasmosis. Methods Retrospective study based on data collected from the medical records of 39 newborns Alcides Carneiro Hospital (HAC) in Petropolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from July 2010 to February 2012 whose mothers had seroconversion for toxoplasmosis during pregnancy. We analyzed maternal serology and treatment and clinical manifestations, laboratory and radiological newborn. Results Forty percent of pregnant women under which seroconverted in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy, 33% at 2 and 13% in first trimester. Underwent treatment 35%, 15% and 0% respectively. There were no clinical manifestations of congenital toxoplasmosis, all showed negative IgM and IgG positive 62%. In imaging tests, 5% had changed transfontanel ultrasound (49% unknown), 1% fundoscopy losses (51% ignored), and skull radiography unchanged (23% ignored). Conclusion Given the survey data, we conclude that there was poor adherence to native implementation of adequate prenatal care, underestimation of suspected cases with disabilities in serological screening, limited availability of laboratory diagnosti...
Introduction The use of drugs of abuse during pregnancy is a public health problem, with deleterious consequences for the mother, her son, family and society effects. The seriousness of the problem and the lack of data concerning the use of drugs by pregnant women in our maternity motivated us to design this study. Objectives To identify among pregnant women admitted to the maternity HEAC users of licit and illicit drugs through self-declaration. Method A descriptive, cross-sectional study period August 1, 2013 a January 3, 2014. Questionnaire was applied during the hospital postpartum women, after signing an informed consent. Results 1055 women were studied, of these 266 (25.21%) were users of drugs of abuse. Among the women who reported using any drugs, were identified: tobacco (36.46%), alcohol (27.81%), cocaine (5.6%) and marijuana (2.2%). The average age of the group of drug users was 25.49 years, while the non-users was 24.81 years. The prevalence of drug use among adolescents was 18.04%. The children of drug users 7.5% had required neonatal intensive care. There was no statistical difference in relation to perinatal asphyxia among a group of users and non- drug users. Conclusion Considering that the identification of these women was only through self declaration of the use of licit and illicit drugs, it becomes even more concerning the current situation with regard to drug use by pregnant women, since this is probably just the tip of a large iceberg, we need to know so we can meet.
