Transcutaneous bilirubinometry was originally developed as a potential replacement for invasive blood sampling, but its clinical application is still limited to a screening method for hyperbilirubinemia. Reasons for this limited clinical value may be diverse.

This study provides insight into the reasons for the limited clinical value of transcutaneous bilirubinometry. This aids to both better interpretation of the measured TcB value from a patient and to possible improvement of the clinical value of the technique. (Read the full article)

Neonatal follow-up programs are designed in part to identify developmental delays among high-risk infants after NICU hospitalization and make referrals to state-funded early intervention. Early intervention has been shown to benefit children with developmental delays.

Many high-risk infants demonstrating developmental delays at neonatal follow-up programs are not referred to early intervention. Subspecialty clinics share responsibility with the medical home in referring children from birth through three years with developmental problems to early intervention services.

The incidence of pertussis has significantly increased, and infection can result in severe disease among young children. This highly contagious disease may frequently be transmitted in pediatric health care settings, necessitating effective infection control practices to reduce exposure risk.

Despite institutional guidelines, pediatric health care workers (HCWs) are frequently exposed to pertussis because of delayed or incomplete adherence to infection control practices. Inconsistent reporting may also result in missed HCW exposures, increasing the risk of subsequent transmission to patients. (Read the full article)

Rates of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination lag behind other adolescent vaccines. Research indicates that provider recommendation is the key to improving HPV vaccination rates and that most adolescents who are unvaccinated received other vaccines, indicating missed opportunities for HPV vaccination.

This study explores in-depth the content of provider–patient conversations that either create or prevent opportunities for HPV vaccination. Effective and ineffective conversations are presented with the goal of providing practical tools to improve communication regarding HPV vaccines. (Read the full article)

Physical activity (PA) of preschoolers has been found to be highly correlated with their child care environment. Preschool-aged children are sedentary for most of their time at child care and most are not meeting PA recommendations.

Preschoolers were presented with significantly fewer than recommended PA opportunities at child care. More active play opportunities are needed to increase PA, including more outdoor time, more teacher-led and child-initiated active play, and flexibility in naptime for preschoolers.

CNA Staff, Apr 24, 2020 / 11:31 am (CNA).- The bishops of Togo called for peace and respect for the rights of citizens after the violent arrest of an opposition leader from his home on Tuesday.

“[E]very citizen has the right and duty to express his/her disapproval in the face of manifest injustice and oppression,” the Catholic bishops of Togo said in a statement, according to English Africa Service.

“The physical violence and other inhuman and degrading treatment inflicted on citizens on this occasion is, therefore, a negation of their rights and freedoms…the Conference of Bishops denounces and condemns them, and calls on authorities to exercise restraint.”

In their statement, the bishops said they were dismayed to learn that opposition leader Agbeyome Kodjo had been arrested at his home this week, “in circumstances of brutality and violence perpetrated by the Defence and Security Forces.”

News reports indicated that police had broken into Kodjo’s home to arrest him for failing to appear before the nation’s intelligence police force. The opposition leader previously served as prime minister of the country, but his diplomatic immunity was removed last month by Parliament.

Kodjo, who heads the Patriotic Movement for Democracy and Development, came in a distant second to incumbent President Faure Gnassingbé Eyadéma in the nation’s February presidential elections.

Kodjo called the results a farce and declared himself the rightful president of the country. He said his calculations showed that he had received some 60% of the nation’s votes, while official tallies put him at about 18%.

Gnassingbé has been president of Togo since 2005 and is entering his fourth term. His father previously ruled the country after a 1967 coup.

Togo has seen political instability and widespread poverty in recent years. Protests in 2017 called for the resignation of Gnassingbé and resulted in harsh crackdowns.

Last month, 90-year-old Archbishop emeritus Philippe Fanoko Kpodzro of Lome was placed under house arrest briefly, after he encouraged protests following the presidential election.
