<p>Pain experienced in the neonatal period has been shown to have serious short- and long-term consequences. It is also known that painkillers have side effects and should not be abused. The basis of proper pain management is assessment of pain, which in newborns is very difficult due to the lack of verbal communication. In these patients, behavioural scales are used to assess pain, but they have numerous shortcomings. For this reason, many newborns treated in the ICU are at risk of pain, so instrumental methods of detecting and assessing the severity of pain are being sought.</p>
<p>During three months, seven Polish NICUs conducted research with the use of NIPE and SCA monitors. After this time, the heads of these departments filled in questionnaires regarding their individual opinions on the usefulness of these devices.</p>
<p>All respondents found pain monitors useful in the NICU. The NIPE monitor was rated slightly higher, as its usefulness in assessing the effectiveness of analgosedation and in the management of patients in the postoperative period was better rated. The high acceptance of both devices by legal guardians of newborns is noteworthy.</p>
<p>It should be stated that in newborns, any way to improve pain monitoring is valuable. In the opinion of Polish experts, pain monitors are useful in NICU. The NIPE monitor was assessed a little higher and was considered useful in the assessment of analgosedation and in postoperative treatment. Pain monitors can provide valuable support for pain assessment in newborns treated in the NICU.</p></abstract>

<h3>Background</h3>
<p>Corona virus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the novel corona virus known as severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS Cov-2). Physiological changes occurring during pregnancy can have a positive or negative effect on the disease progression. The objective of the study was to evaluate the maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnant women with COVID-19 compared to pregnant women without COVID-19 and to determine its influence on the healthcare system.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="j_jmotherandchild.20212502.d-21-00021_s_016">
<h3>Material and methods</h3>
<p>This was a retrospective analytical study conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Odisha, India, over 3 months, from 1 September 2020 until 30 November 2020. Results were compared in both groups.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="j_jmotherandchild.20212502.d-21-00021_s_017">
<h3>Results</h3>
<p>Three hundred and three (303) women delivered, out of whom 92 were COVID-19 positive. Incidence of COVID-19 positivity was 30.3% with 93.47% asymptomatic patients. The majority of the patients were 26–35years of age. Average gestational age at delivery for both groups was 37–40 weeks. COVID-19 positivity was seen more in primigravidas than in multigravidas. Comorbidities such as GDM/type 2 DM, PIH, PROM, APH and jaundice were similar in both groups and statistically non-significant, whereas association of anaemia and hypothyroidism were statistically significant (p&lt;0.05) in the positive group. A single maternal death was reported in the positive group. There was an increase in Caesarean section (p=0.002) with higher incidence of preterm births and lowbirth weights in the positive group. Only 3 babies tested positive for COVID-19, so vertical transmission probability was low. Overall, all babies were healthy and the majority of women were discharged without any complications.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="j_jmotherandchild.20212502.d-21-00021_s_018">
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>There was no significant effect of the infection on maternal and fetal outcomes, but further studies and long-term follow-up is needed to look for any delayed effects on the babies and mothers.</p>

Maternal and neonatal outcomes among women with and without severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-2 infection: A retrospective analytical study

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<sec id="j_jmotherandchild.20212502.d-21-00009_s_009">
<h3>Background</h3>
<p>Breastmilk is the baby’s “first vaccine”. Donated human milk (DHM) is the next best alternative when a mother’s milk is not available, as recommended by WHO- UNICEF. DHM as a nutritional source provides similar immune protection and may prove revolutionary in reducing neonatal morbidity and mortality. The study aimed to explore the challenges in the implementation of selected Mother Milk Banks (MMBs) of Rajasthan.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="j_jmotherandchild.20212502.d-21-00009_s_010">
<h3>Material and methods</h3>
<p>A qualitative in-depth interview of key stakeholders was conducted to know the various facets of the challenges in milk banking practices using the Root Cause Analysis framework.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="j_jmotherandchild.20212502.d-21-00009_s_011">
<h3>Results</h3>
<p>The system challenges identified in the functioning of AMMBs were lack of recurring funds, dedicated lactational counselors, and trained technicians. Databases for demand-supply estimates were also lacking. The community challenges were low acceptance of DHM due to safety concerns, risk of disease transmission, and quality of donated milk. Moreover, the religious stigma and cultural beliefs regarding the transfer of heredity traits and decrease in mother-child affection act as barriers in donating milk.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="j_jmotherandchild.20212502.d-21-00009_s_012">
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>For acceptance and availability of DHM, Social Behavior Communication Change (SBCC) interventions must be incorporated early during the antenatal check-up period. Our study highlighted the role of education; motivation by healthcare providers has a major influence on infant feeding choices. In a developing country such as India, where the frameworks concerning the development of mother milk banks are still maturing, our study findings provide baseline information to address the barriers in the implementation of mother milk banks in India.</p>

<sec id="j_jmotherandchild.20212502.d-21-00010_s_013">
<h3>Background</h3>
<p>The representation of a child is an important element of mother-child relations, which allows the mother to empathise with and respond to the child’s needs. A child’s cancer may be reflected in the mother’s representation of the child. The aim of this study was to see whether there were differences in a mother’s representation of healthy and oncologically ill children.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="j_jmotherandchild.20212502.d-21-00010_s_014">
<h3>Material and methods</h3>
<p>The participants in the study include 30 mothers of oncologically ill children and 25 women with healthy children as the control group. The study used a self-constructed questionnaire containing questions about the mothers’ representations of their children as well as demographic information.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="j_jmotherandchild.20212502.d-21-00010_s_015">
<h3>Results</h3>
<p>Women with oncologically ill children less frequently described their children as independent, impulsive, needing food and the recognition of others, than mothers of healthy children. They also felt fear more frequently when thinking about the child.</p>
<p>There were, however, common elements in representations of ill and healthy children. Impulsiveness and interest in computer games and movies was more often attributed to boys than girls in both categories, while helpfulness was attributed more often to older children than younger ones. Single mothers felt regret more often when thinking about the child than mothers who had some helpers.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="j_jmotherandchild.20212502.d-21-00010_s_016">
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>Maternal representations of a child may include, but do not have to include, disease-related content. Perceptions of a child’s independence, impulsiveness, and needs seem to be related to the child’s health, but for other elements of the child’s image this relation is not present.</p>

Maternal perception of a child with cancer

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>SARS-CoV-2, a member of the coronaviridae family, has caused a deadly pandemic known as the Coronavirus disease 2019, (COVID-19). Paediatric patients get infected by direct exposures or airborne droplets, mostly from households with a cluster of infection or a history of exposure to outbreak areas. COVID-19 is contagious in children (those under the age of 18), with an average incubation time of around 6.5 days. Paediatric patients account for less than 5% of total COVID-19 patients worldwide, and hence studies involving such subjects are unlikely in the near future. As a result, there are inadequate data about COVID-19 infection in children. Therefore, we present this systematic review to understand the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnostic outcomes, and available options for the management of COVID-19 in paediatric populations in order to advise clinical and public health policy choices for safety of children worldwide.</p></abstract>

<p>The goal of this study is to assess the use of a score composed of markers of inflammation and organ failure to predict positive cultures for preterm newborns with clinical suspicion of late-onset sepsis. The score was calculated at the first suspicion and 24–48 hours later. We retrospectively compared score results between neonates with positive and negative cultures. Neonates with positive cultures had a significantly higher score at the second instance; the receiver operator characteristics curve presented an area under the curve of 0.798 (<italic>p</italic>=0.007). A score for early prediction of sepsis could be an important tool for prognostic improvement in the future.</p></abstract>

<p>COVID-19 infection started in China in December 2019 and was declared a global pandemic of international concern by the WHO in March 2020. With rapid spread of infection worldwide, health systems and health care programs came to a standstill, leaving essential services such as antenatal care and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) comprehensive care for children and pregnant women completely devastated. Furthermore, due to lockdowns, children and pregnant women living with HIV were forced to stay at home with no access to health facilities, loss of follow-up, and discontinuation of antiretroviral drugs therapy.

Journal of Mother and Child

The history of the title Relatively new only by the title, the Journal of Mother and Child (JMC) has a long tradition of being issued for nearly 25 years. The journal is a direct successor of a former periodical: Developmental Period Medicine/Medycyna Wieku Rozwojowego. The change of the journal title from Developmental Period Medicine to Journal of Mother and Child took place on January 01, 2020. The archive papers under the old name can be found at: journals.indexcopernicus.com.  The Institute of Mother and Child, Warsaw, Poland, has been publishing the journal Medycyna Wieku Rozwojowego (ISSN 1428-345X) since 1997. That title stems from another journal: Problemy Medycyny Wieku Rozwojowego (ISSN 0303-2264), issued by the Institute in the years 1972-1990. Since 1998 until the end of 2019, the English language translation: Developmental Period Medicine (e-ISSN 2354-0060) was used on the title page. Since 2020, the quarterly Developmental Period Medicine changed its English-language title to the one being more to the point, to: Journal of Mother and Child (ISSN 2719-6488; e-ISSN 2719-535X).　  Thus, until December 31, 2019, the journal was titled Medycyna Wieku Rozwojowego (ISSN 1428-345X) / Developmental Period Medicine (e-ISSN 2354-0060), and from January 1, 2020 it is published further under the title Journal of Mother and Child/Medycyna Wieku Rozwojowego (ISSN 2719-6488; e-ISSN 2719-535X). In other words, there is an uninterrupted continuation of issuing of the journal from 1997 to the present. Title modifications on the way reflected more and more focused selection of topics of interest and increasing role of English language in medical sciences. With our international readership visibly broadened over the last years and with the solely English-language contents, we intend to abandon the title’s Polish translation (subheading: ‘Medycyna Wieku Rozwojowego’) in the near future.  The former version of this journal: Medycyna Wieku Rozwojowego / Developmental Period Medicine was indexed in PubMed / Medline and as such was entered into other databases. Journal of Mother and Child / Medycyna Wieku Rozwojowego continues to be indexed in PubMed / Medline.  Cooperating societies:  The title is published in association with the Polish Society of Perinatal Medicine and the Polish Society of Inborn Errors of Metabolism.     Aims &amp; Scope  JMC is a peer reviewed, diamond open access journal dedicated to disseminating basic and applied research related to the health of mother and child. The journal’s ambition is to create a platform for presenting original results from all areas of research studies that aim to improve human maternal, fetal, neonatal, and child health, reflecting the connection between clinical and basic science. We at JMC strongly believe that translational medicine should support interdisciplinary collaboration, which usually results in important scientific papers. We accept original research papers, review articles, editorials, short communications and case studies.  JMC‘s scope is based on a holistic approach towards the patient, covering all medical aspects of health of a mother and her child, including such important life sciences areas as origins of disease, modern diagnostic tools, effective up-to-date treatment, long-term health consequences, nutrition, psychology, as well as social and bioethical issues. Most importantly, we focus on the patient throughout all stages of life, from early years, i.e. prenatal and perinatal periods, through early childhood and childhood to adolescence and adulthood (including maternal health). JMC follows a concept of the systems medicine, looking at the human body as part of an integrated whole which incorporates biomolecular, physiological and environmental interactions.  JMC also encourages submissions of papers pertaining to rare diseases which may be a good model for a study on common disorders and thus revealing novel pathomechanisms and conditions.
