Save the lives of Preterm through Kangaroo Mother Care in Pakistan
Get PDFNeonatal mortality remains a pressing global concern, with millions of infants succumbing to preventable causes within their first month of life. One promising solution that has gained attraction is Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), an innovative and cost-effective approach that has demonstrated remarkable success in improving survival rates among newborns. Neonatal morbidity and mortality can be reduced by providing KMC to babies. KMC is a simple yet powerful intervention that involves continuous skin-to-skin contact between a mother and her preterm or low birth-weight infant. Pakistan bears a heavy burden of neonatal mortality, with a reported rate of 42 deaths per 1,000 live births as of the latest data. Implementing Kangaroo Mother Care in a country as diverse and populous as Pakistan presents a unique set of challenges. However, the government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and healthcare professionals have made commendable efforts to integrate KMC into the existing healthcare system
Invasive Fungal Sinusitis with Intracranial Extension and Fatal Outcome: A Case Report
Get PDFInvasive fungal sinusitis is a morbid condition usually encountered in patients with poor immunity, for instance, diabetics or those with lymphoproliferative disease. We report invasive fungal sinusitis in a young immunocompetent host. This case presents a 21-year-old man with an invasive fungal infection and intracranial extension. The patient initially complained of right-sided weakness, headache, vomiting, and diplopia and was subsequently found to have a significant post-contrast enhancement along the left temporal region, encasing the internal carotid artery (ICA). The patient was started on antifungal therapy, and underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) which revealed growth of Aspergillus on fungal culture. He later developed severe cardiac dysfunction and neurological deterioration, ultimately leading to death. This case highlights the significance of taking into account the importance of fungal sinusitis as a potential cause of neurological symptoms, particularly in younger age groups. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial in preventing potentially fatal complication
