Data on disease surveillance in Kerala
for 1999-2000 (John et al. 2004) showed 75
meningitis cases of which at least 27 were bacterial meningitis. Assuming that one
third of this is due to Hib, for a 26 milli
on birth cohort, the estimated Hib meningitis
is 52000 per year. Using the validated Hib
Rapid Assessment Tool estimates, that
allows pneumonia burden estimates based on meningitis data, the estimated Hib
pneumonia cases would be 260000 per year (WHO 2001).

Vaccinations have prevented millions of infectious illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths among U.S. children, yet the long-term health outcomes of the vaccination schedule remain uncertain. Studies have been recommended by the U.S. Institute of Medicine to address this question.

Cushing's syndrome, a characteristic pattern of obesity with hypertension due to the hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex, is relatively rare in infancy. Thirty-six infants have been reported in world literature, most of whom have had adrenal tumours. There are only eight reported cases of infants under the age of 1 year with adrenal hyperplasia responsible for Cushing's syndrome. This is a report of an 8 month old child with bilateral nodular adrenal hyperplasia.

The mid upper arm of 516 malnourished children (one to five years) were studied radiographically for changes in bone width, muscle mass and subcutaneous fat, of malnutrition at different ages. The data was studied by statistical analysis, determining the correlation coefficients of each of the factors. The findings indicate that previous assumptions about the components and the changes of the mid upper arm girth (MUG) in chronic severe malnutrition, were perhaps too simplistic.

The trichorhinophalangeal syndrome associated with laxity of the skin and joints has been mistaken for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (Jones 1988). We report a case of the trichorhinophalangeal syndrome which we mistook for the Larsen syndrome. Literature and published photographs of the Larsen syndrome are reviewed to highlight the similarities between these two entities. These observations may be of value in the genetic mapping of the Larsen syndrome, which perhaps is a contiguous gene syndrome.

Acute hepatitis A infection is an uncommon cause of pancreatitis in children. To date, only four cases have been reported in the paediatric literature. We report a 7-year-old girl with acute pancreatitis associated with hepatitis A infection who made a satisfactory recovery. The report highlights the CT findings including focal necrosis not previously reported. Because of the extreme rarity of the complication, the four previous reports have also been single case reports. This paper reviews all these cases with a view to elucidating the aetiopathogenesis of the pancreatitis.

The text book of Pediatric Advanced Life Support of the American Heart Association recommends that a reservoir is used with a self inflating bag valve device. The figure in the book suggests that if such a device is connected to an oxygen supply, the oxygen will fill the bag first and then go on to fill the reservoir. However the valve structure of the self-inflating device does not permit active entry of oxygen into the bag, unless the bag is deflated and allowed to reinflate, drawing oxygen fr Read More...

The detection of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in the CSF is a fairly reliable indicator of pyogenic meningitis but facilities required for its detection are not always available in rural hospitals in developing countries. To circumvent this problem Moosa et al.(1) tested the ability of urine dipsticks on CSF to help in the early diagnosis of pyogenic meningitis.
The urine dipstick leukocyte esterase test uses the ability of esterase enzyme present in the polymorphonuclear leucocytes to conv Read More... Indian Pediatr. 2000 Nov;37(11):1274-6.

An observational prospective study reported that newborn babies with Down syndrome (DS) had short upper limbs that reach up to their pelvis. The shortening was most marked in the forearm (the middle segment of the upper limb) and this relative shortening resulted in an alteration of the proximal to middle segment length ratio. This study assumes that there is a similar alteration in the ratio of the lower limb. We propose to study the proximal to middle segment ratio in the lower limb in normal Read More...

BACKGROUND: Rapid drops in blood glucose and sodium levels during treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can cause a drop in the osmotonicity of plasma, resulting in cerebral edema. Ketone bodies are assumed to move freely in and out of cells, so it is assumed that they do not contribute to the tonicity of plasma or influence fluid shifts. The assumption that ketone bodies do not contribute to osmotonicity has not been tested previously. The experiment described here was done to check if aceto Read More... Jacob Puliyel

METHODS: One thousand two hundred three (1203) eyes were examined for refractive error by streak retinoscopy within the first week of life between June 2001 and September 2002. Tropicamide eye drops (0.8%) with phenylephrine 0.5% were used to achieve cycloplegia and mydriasis. The refractive error was measured in the vertica Read More...

BACKGROUND: We have previously reported the developmental gains achieved, after introducing a simple programme of structured play to stimulate children in an orphanage. It was envisaged that the caregivers could continue the programme. However, the enthusiasm of the caregivers waned over the year the programme was entrusted to them. After 1 year, a full time play therapist was recruited to rejuvenate the play programme. METHODS: Children's development was assessed using the Indian adaptatio Read More... * Ann Pharmacother. 2005 Dec;39(12):2140; author reply 2140-1.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: ACOG states meconium stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) as one of the historical indicators of perinatal asphyxia. Thick meconium along with other indicators is used to identify babies with severe intrapartum asphyxia. Lactate creatinine ratio (L: C ratio) of 0.64 or higher in first passed urine of babies suffering severe intrapartum asphyxia has been shown to predict Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE). Literature review shows that meconium is passed in distress and thin mec Read More... http://www.bmj.com/cgi/eletters/338/apr06_2/b1423#214238

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The hard edges of adult finger clip probes of the pulse oximetry oxygen saturation (POOS) monitor can cause skin damage if used for prolonged periods in a neonate. Covering the skin under the probe with Micropore surgical tape or a gauze piece might prevent such injury. The study was done to see if the protective covering would affect the accuracy of the readings. METHODS: POOS was studied in 50 full-term neonates in the first week of life.

We investigated an outbreak of Coxsackie B4 arthritis in a neonatal unit involving 20 neonates and 12 staff members, over an eight-month period. Laboratory investigations, serology tests, indicate that the outbreak was caused by Coxsackie B4 virus. Contamination of one of the overhead water reservoirs, supplying the nursery, was responsible. After the water tanks were cleaned out, no new cases were reported over five years.

India has over a century old tradition of development and production of vaccines. The Government rightly adopted self-sufficiency in vaccine production and self-reliance in vaccine technology as its policy objectives in 1986. However, in the absence of a full-fledged vaccine policy, there have been concerns related to demand and supply, manufacture vs. import, role of public and private sectors, choice of vaccines, new and combination vaccines, universal vs. selective vaccination, routine immuni Read More...

CUSUM for monitoring competency:
Computer software is useful for bootstrapping and real time CUSUM plotting.
We congratulate Salowi and colleagues on their study of the use of CUSUM to monitor competency in cataract extraction (1). However there are two modifications that could make their system more responsive and reliable.
Firstly the authors use a CUSUM chart that fluctuates on only one side of the zero line. Traditionally CUSUM charts fluctuate on both sides of the zero line (2,3). Read More... Indian Medical Association National Conference Jaipur 27 December 2010

Numbers Needed to Treat (NNT) is a measure of the effectiveness. In the context of newer vaccines it is good to ask how many children need to be vaccinated so that one life is saved - the NNT of the vaccine. This is sometimes called the Numbers Needed to Vaccinate (NNV)
The next question is related to the cost: How much does it cost to vaccinate one child with this new vaccine.
Once we have these 2 figures we can easily calculate the cost per life saved.

Misplaced hoopla over Indian anti-diarrhea vaccine
IANS By Jacob Puliyel | IANS
Newspapers and television channels in India and abroad were abuzz recently with reports that an Indian rotavirus (anti-diarrhea) vaccine had been developed and tested. We were told that the vaccine, called Rotavac, is to be sold at $1/dose (Rs.60) compared to the existing brands costing $10-$50/dose. The announcement was made at a symposium on rotavirus vaccine in New Delhi.

Background
Although the incidence of polio acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) is coming down in India, the non-polio AFP (NPAFP) rate has increased. Nationwide, the NPAFP rate is 13.7/100,000 where the expected rate is 1-2/100,000. We examined the correlates of NPAFP, to discern explanations for the increase.
Methods
National Polio Surveillance data 2000-2012 was used. Differences between states and changes over time were examined. Demographic factors and polio programme parameters were ass Read More... Yojana Feb 2014 http://yojana.gov.in/

The authors must be congratulated for conducting a study whose scope was so vast. However it must be recognized that RCTs are the best method to look for risks and benefits.

The time lines described by Professor Bhan <PMID: 24629993> suggest that the private manufacturer to set up the plant for manufacture of this vaccine was funded by PATH, B&MG and the Government of India (DBT) in 2000, where as the Phase 3 trial only started in 2008. It is clear that regardless of efficacy in the phase 3 trial (or any objections by NTAGI members,) the vaccine had to be rolled out, if there was to be any returns on the investment.

The last two decades have been the era of public-private
partnerships (PPPs). The Saskatchewan Institute of
Public Policy defines PPPs as co-operative ventures
between public and private sectors, built on the expertise
of each partner which meets clearly defined public needs
through appropriate allocation of resources, risks and
rewards (Allan 2001).
A particularly important element is the emphasis upon
risk-sharing, joint investment of resources, and sharing
of authority. These factors Read More... Indian Journal of Medical Ethics Vol XI No 4 October-December 2014. http://www.issuesinmedicalethics.org/index.php/ijme/article/view/2132/4598

Apropos the earlier posting there are a couple of other facts that we must consider when looking at the incidence of sudden unexplained deaths immediately following vaccination with Infanrix.
a) The safety assessment document has used the number of doses of vaccine distributed as the denominator. The report acknowledges that all the doses of the vaccine distributed, need not have been utilized.
There can be another argument against using this denominator. As each child is given up to Read More... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24004825#cm24004825_8767

I thank the authors for their response to my comment.
I was presuming that in the countries from where this data was gathered, sudden infant death or SIDS is considered 'unnatural death'. If that is so, these deaths will have been investigated by a competent forensic team and the immunization records will have been examined to check if the infant was up to date with its vaccinations or whether there was an element of neglect.

1) The data I have quoted (from Table 36) was made available by the manufacturers GSK, to defend the safety record of Infanrix Hexa to the regulatory authority (- the EMA). The data suggests a cluster on and following the day of vaccination. If the reporting is so bad the clusters aren't real, then the data can't/shouldn't be used to defend its safety. If the reporting is good, th Read More... Pediatrics. 2015 Feb;135 Suppl 1:S16-7. doi: 10.1542/peds.2014-3330DD. PMID: 26005734

The EMA I understand is obliged by European Union law to engage the precautionary principle. Until the full scientific evidence is available, where there is evidence of risk, it must take precautionary measures. The comments here indicate the evidence is of more than a risk, but of the harm itself.

Introduction
Although economic development is generally accompanied by improvements in the overall nutritional status of the countryâs population the ânutritional transitionâ often involves a shift to high energy diets and less exercise with negative consequences. This pilot study was done to examine if education of parents operates at the household level to influence dietary choices and the nutritional status of children in a small community of hospital workers.

Evaluation of the Protection Provided by Hepatitis B Vaccination in India
Abstract
In India Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended at 6 weeks except for hospital-deliveries. We examined protection afforded by the birth dose.

The recently announced enhanced benefits under the NHPS without allocating any money for it is an excellent move in ensuring that private sector is not preferred over public sector.
Data from the 70th round of theNational Sample Survey on âHousehold Indebtednessâ shows that nearly one in three rural households and over one in five urban households are in debt. Read More... https://f1000research.com/articles/7-243/v2

Deaths Reported after Pentavalent Vaccine Compared with Death Reported after Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis vaccine - An Exploratory Analysis
Abstract
Introduction
Immunization is one of the most effective public health tools available to prevent death and disease. Serious adverse reactions following immunization (AEFI) are rare. However coinci-dental sudden-infant-death-syndrome (SIDS) deaths do occur temporally associated with vac-cination. In 2010 the Government of India (GoI) introduced Read More...

Jacob Puliyel.
The Pentavalent vaccine (PV), which was introduced by India six years ago, doubled the deaths of children soon after vaccination, compared to the DPT (Diphtheria-Pertussis-Tetanus) vaccine, says a new study that calls for a ârigorous review of the deaths following vaccination with PVâ.
The study was conducted by Professor V. Sreenivas, Professor of Biostatistics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences. Government of India data was used throughout the study. It was published in the peer-r Read More... Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research [serial online] 2018 April [cited: 2018 Apr 11 ]; 12:SD03-SD04.

The deaths of healthy children taken for routine immunisation are not acceptable.
On 18 March, The Sunday Guardian published a report suggesting that Pentavalent vaccine was killing children instead of protecting them. In response to a question on the subject, Union Minister for Health an Read More... Indian Pediatrics 2018;55:438-9

The main point of criticism of our study [1] by all these readers is that we assessed only for benefits over the first hour of admission. This is a valid point. The reason for such protocol was the ethical issue. Theoretically, it was not logical to use CPAP (that increases Read More... https://www.sundayguardianlive.com/news/ethical-questions-surround-vaccine-reduce-fertility

The prestigious journal Nature Medicine, in its February issue reported that the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) is to do a clinical trial of a tetanus toxoid vaccine (TT) laced with a pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). It is to be studied on 120 women in India.
This âvaccineâ against pregnancy was developed by Dr G.P. Talwar in 1972. The idea is to produce antibodies to the pregnancy hormone, such that the women would not be able to carry a normal pregnancy. Read More...

Doublespeak is not 'post truth': It is Orwellian
F. Scott Fitzgerald is quoted to have said âThe test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.â I got a glimpse of this while reading the response of Jonathan J Kennedy.
