Read More BACKGROUND: The coronavirus, which is caused by acute respiratory syndrome, appeared inWuhan, China, in December 2019 and gradually spread around the world until almost all countriesbecame infected with the coronavirus. In Iran, the outbreak of coronavirus began on February 21,2020, with the report of infection of two people in the city of Qom. The aim of this study is to evaluatethe clinical findings of neonates born to pregnant women with corona disease.MATERIALS AND METHODS: During this case study (February 21 to November 30, 2020), out of88 pregnant mothers who referred to the hospitals of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences,44 live neonates were born from 42 pregnant women with COVID‑19, who were evaluated for clinicalsigns by studying their files and reported as a case series, due to limited samples, No statisticalanalysis of the study was performed.RESULTS: In studies of clinical records of hospitalized mothers and infants, among the polymerasechain reactions (PCRs) provided for all infants, one PCR was reported positive 2 days after birth,whereas this infant 10 min after birth, immediately after routine procedures, due to positive mother’sPCR was isolated from the operating room. However, all of the infant’s clinical symptoms were normalduring the 3‑day hospital stay for routine postpartum care. Twenty‑eight days after birth, the babywas reevaluated for clinical, laboratory, and chest X‑ray symptoms, all of which were normal. ThePCR of other neonates was negative, and five intubated neonates, two twin, and two single died, andthe other neonates were discharged. In evaluating the clinical records of mothers of these infants,the mean age is 30 years, and the average gestational age is 35 weeks, 32 cases of caesareansection, and 10 cases of normal delivery.CONCLUSION: We describe epidemiological data, demographics, signs and symptoms onadmission, laboratory results, comorbidities, infection COVID‑19 in the mothers and neonates,chest radiography and computed tomography findings, treatment received for COVID‑19, andclinical maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes. Due to the fact that the study population issmall consist of 42 mothers with COVID‑19 infection, among all PCR samples from infantsborn to COVID‑19 positive mothers, the PCR result of one case was positive, and the rest ofwas negative. Therefore, vertical transmission of COVID‑19 through the placenta to the fetuscannot be confirmed or denied, nor can the COVID‑19 confirmed or denied the baby’s postnatalcomplication during pregnancy.

Read More Background: Breastfeeding depends on social and cultural conditions of societies. Behavior,Attitude,Subjective Norms, Enabling Factors (BASNEF) model is one of the comprehensive models ofbehavior study, especially in developing countries. This study was performed to investigate thestatus of breastfeeding during the first two years of infants’ life and its risk factors through BASNEFmodel structures. Materials and Methods: In this cross‑sectional descriptive‑analytical study, 406mothers with 6-24‑month‑old babies were selected by multistage cluster sampling method. The datawere collected using a questionnaire with five sections based on the BASNEF model structures.Demographic characteristics of the studied population were also recorded and analyzed usingChi‑square tests and analysis of variance in SPSS18 statistical software. Results: The prevalence ofbreastfeeding was 86.4% (351 mothers). Three hundred and thirty three mothers (82%) had goodknowledge and there was a significant relationship between knowledge and breastfeeding behaviorof mothers (P < 0.05). Two hundred and eighty five mothers (70.2%) had good and very goodattitude in this regard. There was no significant relationship between attitude and breastfeedingbehavior of mothers (P > 0.05). There was a significant relationship between breastfeeding behaviorof mothers and subjective norms of husbands, mother and mother‑in‑law (P < 0.05); however, nosignificant relationship was found with regard to enabling factors (P > 0.05). Moreover, no significantrelationship was observed between type of children nutrition and variables of delivery mode,maternal age and number of children (P > 0.05). Conclusion: In addition to knowledge of nursingmothers, supports and encouragement of husbands, mothers and mother‑in‑laws, as subjectivenorms of behavior, have a positive impact onthe breastfeeding behavior of mothers. Thus,breastfeeding programs should pay moreattention to the role of these mentioned factors.
