“…This study aims to analyze the short and long run relationships between neonatal mortality, energy consumption, female literacy, CO2E and working mother in India during 1970–2021 periods. Our endogenous variable was defined by neonatal mortality (Jemal et al, 2022), and the rest of variables represent the exogenous variables.…”

India is one of the top 10 countries in CO2 emissions and it is considered one of the countries with the highest infant mortality rate. For these reasons, the state of health of population has become the object of studies and monitoring by many organizations and experts. In this study we try to analyze the short and long run relationship between neonatal mortality rate, economic growth, energy consumption (renewable and non-renewable), female literacy, and air pollution in India during 1970–2021 periods by using ARDL approach and VECM method. It appears that female literacy, economic growth and renewable energy consumption have an important role in reducing neonatal mortality rate. By contrast, non-renewable energy consumption, CO2 emissions and working mother's strongly increase neonatal mortality. From these results, Indian government is required to provide for the basic needs of mothers by guaranteeing her right to education and improving their standard of living. The Indian government should also reduce air pollution by launching projects, using clean and environmentally friendly energy, and constructing industrial areas away from population centers. Also, it is necessary to Also, it is necessary to reduce the dependance on energy sources polluting due to the high cost and instability of prices in the traditional energy market, as well as reducing of the global warming and the danger it poses to continuous heat and climate change.

Background: Neonatal sepsis is a serious condition with increased morbidity and mortality. Cardiac complications are common sequalae for neonatal sepsis with poor prognosis. Utilization of biomarkers for early detection of these cardiac complications helps in improving the prognosis. Aim of the work: Detect the reliability of plasma copeptin and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) as indicators of cardiac involvement in neonatal sepsis. Patients and methods:The current study included 70 late preterm neonates divided into 3 groups; 30 neonates diagnosed with sepsis and cardiac affection (group 1), 20 neonates diagnosed with sepsis without cardiac affection (group 2) and 20 matched neonates free of sepsis and cardiac affection (group 3). All included neonates had a full history taking, general and local examination. In addition to measuring serum copeptin and IMA levels. Cardiac functions were assessed by transthoracic echocardiography and tissue doppler imaging.Results: A significantly higher mean value of copeptin in group 1 (12.26 ± 4.06 ng/ml), followed by group 2 (4.25±1.56 ng/ml), then group 3 (2.17±0.79 ng/ml) (p<0.001). Also, IMA was significantly higher in group 1 (263.97±81.49 ng/ml), followed by group 2 (68.62±22.08 ng/ml), then group 3 (35.94±10.94 ng/ml) (p<0.001). There was a significant positive correlation between copeptin with IMA. Conclusion:Serum Copeptin and IMA levels are good predictors for detection of cardiac complications in neonatal sepsis besides their role in sepsis detection itself.

BackgroundOedematous malnutrition is a severe form of malnutrition characterized by generalized swelling, fluid retention and nutritional deficiencies, which affects preterm and low‐birth‐weight (LBW) infants significantly. However, there is limited data among LBW neonates in low‐income countries.ObjectiveTo identify the prevalence and factors associated with oedematous malnutrition among LBW neonates receiving parenteral feeding in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of public hospitals in Addis Ababa City.MethodsAn institution‐based cross‐sectional study was conducted from March to June 2022. A multistage sampling technique was utilized to select samples, and a pretested questionnaire and checklist were used to collect the data. Bi‐variable and multivariable logistic regression were done to identify factors associated with oedematous malnutrition. Statistical significance was declared at a p‐value less than 0.05.ResultTwo hundred eighty‐nine LBW neonates receiving parenteral feeding were evaluated for oedematous malnutrition, of which 27 (9.34%) neonates developed it. Gestational age less than 32 weeks (adjusted odd ratios [AOR]: 6.74 95% CI: 1.456−31.27) and above 37 weeks (AOR: 12.36 95% CI: 1.44−105.69), thrombocytopenia (AOR: 4.208 95% CI: 1.12−15.78), receiving parenteral feeding for 7−14 days (AOR: 8.61 95% CI: 1.33−55.52) and more than 14 days (AOR: 21.10 95% CI: 2.89−153.94) were significantly associated with oedematous malnutrition.ConclusionThis study identified that a significant number of neonates developed oedematous malnutrition, and gestational age, thrombocytopenia and length of admission had a significant association with oedematous malnutrition among LBW neonates. It is crucial to reevaluate the quality of care in the NICU and implement an improvement project to decrease the length of parenteral feedings.
