Newborn and COVID-19 practice issues
Being a parent of a newborn is the most memorable moment for every couple, but due to the pandemic happening around the world the new parents of newborn babies have to take harsh steps to keep their families safe. When exposed to the newborn, the caregivers should wear mask and wash their hands frequently to keep the newborn safe, even keeping safe distance between the bed of the mother and the cradle of the newborn are few steps to keep the baby safe from COVID-19 For Infants born during the pandemic the COVID-19 pandemic affected the quality of neonatal care. The youngest children tend to be milder, which means they don't have as many symptoms as adults and even most children tend to have asymptomatic infection, which means they don't have any symptoms at all. In this upcoming webinar Dr Vineet Kwatra Senior Consultant Department of Pediatrics and Neonatology Medanta Hospital will provide insightful information on care-seeking by parents, guidelines regarding taking care of newborns.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Alpha Lipoic Acid in Oxidative Stress
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a potent antioxidant that helps combat oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals. It regenerates other antioxidants like vitamin C and E, enhancing overall antioxidant defense. ALA plays a crucial role in reducing cellular damage caused by conditions like diabetes, neuropathy, and aging. Its ability to function in both water- and fat-soluble environments makes it versatile in protecting various tissues. Regular supplementation of ALA may improve mitochondrial function and reduce inflammation associated with oxidative stress.
Alternative Route to Chronic Pain Management
Same, Same but Different" patterns in pain refer to situations where patients report similar symptoms or sensations but have distinct underlying causes or mechanisms. This concept emphasizes the importance of thorough clinical evaluation, as seemingly identical pain experiences may require different diagnostic approaches and treatments.
Advances in Diagnosing and Treating Neural Tube Defects
Significant advances in diagnosing and treating neural tube defects (NTDs) have improved outcomes for affected individuals. Early diagnosis is enhanced by advanced prenatal imaging, such as high-resolution ultrasound and fetal MRI, and biomarkers like elevated maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP). Innovations in fetal surgery, such as in-utero repair of spina bifida, have demonstrated improved neurological outcomes by minimizing damage before birth. Postnatal care has also improved with better surgical techniques, physical therapy, and assistive technologies. Preventive strategies, including mandatory folic acid supplementation, have significantly reduced NTD incidence globally, highlighting the importance of early intervention and multidisciplinary care in managing NTDs.
Pitfalls in Management of Dengue
Managing dengue involves challenges that can lead to adverse outcomes if not addressed. Common pitfalls include delayed diagnosis due to overlapping symptoms with other febrile illnesses and mismanagement of fluid therapy, which can worsen plasma leakage or precipitate fluid overload. Failure to recognize warning signs, such as persistent vomiting or mucosal bleeding, may delay critical interventions. Over-reliance on empirical antibiotics or unnecessary platelet transfusions can lead to complications. Inadequate monitoring during the critical phase may miss signs of shock or organ failure. Effective management requires timely diagnosis, adherence to WHO guidelines, vigilant monitoring, and avoiding unnecessary interventions to improve outcomes.
Digital Interventions in Prevention and Control of Diabetes
Digital tools like mobile apps, wearable devices, and telemedicine are transforming diabetes management by enabling real-time monitoring of blood glucose levels and personalized feedback. AI-powered platforms offer predictive analytics to assess risks and optimize treatment plans. Online education programs promote lifestyle modifications, including healthy eating and exercise. Virtual coaching and remote consultations improve accessibility to healthcare for underserved populations. These interventions empower patients to take proactive control of their condition, reducing complications and enhancing quality of life.
