Abstract: Background : Febrile seizure is the most common convulsive event in children younger than 60 months, it is often recurring within the first twenty - four hours. A febrile seizure is terrifying event for parent. Different factors enhance the occurrence of seizure and one of these factors is hyponatremia which thought to be low in children with recurrent febrile convulsion. Objective : To estimate the relation and the effect of serum sodium in recurrence of febrile convulsion. Patients and method : An observational case control study conducted on (180) child between the age of 6 months and 7 years ,all patients divided in to 3 groups ;group (A) which include (60) children presented with fever without convulsion which considered control group , group B which include (60) child presented with single febrile convulsion and last group was group C which include (60) child presented with recurrent febrile convulsion .Serum sodium was estimated for all children immediately after admission to emergency . Our study carried out in Mohammed Al Mousawi pediatrics hospital in AL - Nasiriya city during the period between May to September of 2018. Result : In our current study 180 children were included with age range between (6 months to 7 years) old. Serum sodium was estimated and we compare the result between the 3 groups of study. The study involved 89 males and 91 females. The mean serum sodium in group A, B, C, were 139.45,137.09,131.95 respectively with (p value <0.001) which found to be significant value. We estimate that decrease serum sodium levels in relation with increase recurrence of febrile convulsion, also we found that hyponatremia children are 4 times more likely to develop recurrent convulsion than children with normal or elevated serum sodium. Regarding the serum calcium, random blood sugar and Tamp., there is no significant association, but family history was significantly associated with occurrence of febrile seizure. Conclusion : The current study shows significant correlation between decrease serum sodium and recurrence of febrile convulsion us serum level found to be lower in children with recurrent febrile convulsion

Half of women who passed because of PPH were among the young age group (20 - 35 years), 56.2% lived in urban areas, more than one third were from Baghdad city, 45.8% of the deceased women did not attend ANC services, 64.2% of them delivered their babies at hospitals, 87.1% of deaths took place at hospitals, uterine atony was the first cause for developing PPH 27.4%, delay 1 was on the top of the list (alone 31.3%, combined with other delays 70.2%), grand multiparous was the first risk reported in 31.8% of the records. Conclusion : Among all deceased during 2015 - 2017, PPH was the cause of death in 20.2%. PPH was higher among those aged 20 - 35, with low educational level, from urban residency, grand multiparous, with no ANC during pregnancy, more than 37 weeks of gestation. Uterine atony was the first cause of PPH followed by traumas (Cervical tear and ruptured uterus) and the least was placental complications. D1, alone or combined with others, was on the top of the list followed by D3 which indicated substandard care.Increased awareness about the importance of safe motherhood, timely decision to seek emergency obstetrics care, ensure that all deliveries should be attended by skilled birth attendance and improving the quality of emergency obstetrics will help in decreasing maternal death.

Abstract: Background : Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the insulin producing cells in the pancreas and destroy them, it is also called ( Juvenile diabetes) because it mainly occurs in children and teenagers , though it can develop at any age. The study of epidemiology of T1DM in Basrah showed that the overall mean age at first diagnosis was 15.3 ± 9 years and it was significantly higher in men. The prevalence was 87 per 100,000 and it is lower than neighboring countries. The average annual incidence rate of type 1 diabetes was 7.4 per 100,000 which place Iraq in the intermediate group. This provided a baseline for assessing future changes in the epidemiology of type 1 diabetes mellitus in Iraq.Objectives : To describe pattern of feeding during infancy among children with type 1 diabetes mellitus, frequency of childhood infections (Measles and Mumps), and prevalence of autoimmune disease in children with T1DM.Patients and methods : A cross sectional study was carried out at Central Child teaching hospital and Al Yarmook teaching hospital, Iraq. A total of 248 patients with type 1 diabetes who attended the consultation clinic in the period from February 1st to the 30th of May,2017, and were investigated in order to describe the patterns of feeding in infancy, frequency of childhood infections )measles and mumps), and also prevalence of autoimmune disease in children with T1DM.Results : The mean age of diagnosis of type 1 diabetes among children was 5.7 years ± 3.3 and the mean weight of children at delivery was 3.2 Kg± 0.6 . The sociodemographic distribution showed that 38% of cases occurred in the 5 - 8 years age group followed by 8 - 11 years age group which accounts for 30.6% of cases. Sex distribution was nearly equal with slight male predominance. 50.8% of T1DM children have a positive family history for diabetes, most of them had a history of type 2 Dm (38.7%), and (9.3%) of type 1 DM, while 7% had both type 1 and 2. Only 23.4 % of cases have positive family history of other autoimmune diseases (autoimmune thyroid disease, celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, vitiligo, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, pernicious anemia, psoriasis, Addison disease). About 23 % of children had autoimmune illnesses other than diabetes. More than 61% of patients with T1DM had exclusive bottle feeding history, 30% had exclusive breast feeding history, while 8.5 % had mixed feeding history.Conclusion• About two thirds of children with type 1 DM were bottle fed.• About a quarter of children with T1DM had autoimmune diseases other than diabetes.• The sociodemographic aspects showed that more children were diagnosed in the 5 - 8 years, those with urban residence were found to be more frequent than those with rural residence while frequency of T1DM was almost the same in males and females, more parents were with no college education.• Only a small proportion of children had a positive pre - diagnosis Measles and Mumps infections if they achieve the milestone of 1 year.Keywords : T1DM, bottle feeding, autoimmune diseases

Abstract: Background : Neonatal jaundice remains the most common and the most controversial problem in full - term newborns during the immediate postnatal period.Aim of the study : To assess the association between types of feeding and response to phototherapy in full - term infants with indirect hyperbilirubinemia.Method : In the period from the 25th of January to the 22th of July 2016, 120 full - term newborns admitted to the neonatal care unit in Tertiary Teaching Hospitals (Pediatric Teaching Hospital in medical city, AI - Imamein Al - Kadhimein medical city and Child Center Teaching Hospital) were studied by cohort study. The newborns diagnosed by pediatrician as cases of indirect hyperbilirubinemia and phototherapy started when TSB level>14.9 mg/dl. TSB was measured twice daily and phototherapy terminated when TSB level< 10.8 mg/dl. All infants were weighed at start and end of phototherapy. The duration of phototherapy had been recorded.Results : The infants divided into three groups according to type of feeding; group1, Breast - fed infants (n=37); group2, Formula - fed infants (n=51); group3, Mixed - fed infants (n=32).Phototherapy was highly effective in reducing serum bilirubin concentration in all of three groups but with a significant less efficacy for breast - fed neonates ( mean duration of phototherapy 32.2± 2.1 hrs) in comparison to mix - fed neonates (30.4 ± 2.5 hrs) and formula - fed neonates (29.9± 2.7 hrs).There was a weight loss during phototherapy. There was significant difference in the weight loss in the three groups, the more weight loss in breast - fed neonates than mixed - fed and formula - fed neonates. Conclusion and recommendations : Phototherapy had effectively reduced bilirubin levels in breast - fed newborns with hyperbilirubinemia, but these patients showed a significantly slower response to this modality of treatment than mixed and formula - fed newborns. Therefore; in breast - fed infants with severe jaundice that requires phototherapy, the addition of formula - feeding will enhance the response to phototherapy without any interruption of breastfeeding.
