Insights into hepatitis B virus infection among pregnant women: Assessing seroprevalence, serological, and virological profile at a tertiary care hospital in India
Authors: Jothi J. Belinda , Kumar Shilpee , Bharti Rekha , Bhargava Aradhana 
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
India bears a considerable global burden, hosting over 37 million hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers, primarily transmitted through the perinatal route. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of HBV infection among pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic at a tertiary care hospital.

Aims:
This study sought to assess the seroprevalence of HBV infection in pregnant women, analyze the serological markers of HBV infection, and ascertain the viral load of HBV DNA.

Settings and Design:
The study was conducted at the Department of Microbiology and Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Vardhman Mahavir Medical College and Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi, India. It adopted a hospital-based cross-sectional design.

Subjects and Methods:
The study spanned from January 2021 to June 2022. HBV infection among pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic of a tertiary care hospital was identified by screening their sera using hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) ELISA. For samples testing positive for HBsAg ELISA, additional tests were administered, including HBeAg, HBeAb, hepatitis B core immunoglobulin M, and total hepatitis B core antibody (immunoglobulin [Ig] M + IgG) by ELISA. In addition, a quantitative assessment of HBV DNA was conducted using real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.

Statistical Analysis Used:
All data underwent coding and entry into an MS Excel spreadsheet, with analysis executed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Ethics Committee, Vardhman Mahavir Medical College and Safdarjung Hospital. Informed consent was obtained from all pregnant women participating in the study.

Results:
Among the 1519 pregnant women screened for HBsAg, 15 tested positive, resulting in a seroprevalence of 1% (15/1519). Subsequent examination revealed two women with acute HBV/chronic hepatitis B-acute exacerbation infections (high infectivity) and 13 women with chronic HBV infections (low infectivity). Furthermore, only HBeAg-positive women exhibited HBV DNA levels surpassing 2000 IU/mL.

Conclusions:
The 1% seroprevalence of HBV among pregnant women implies an approximate count of 4 million infected women of reproductive age, posing a risk of vertical transmission to nearly 4 million newborns annually. With HBeAg-positive mothers, the risk of neonatal transmission ranges from 70% to 90%. Timely interventions for all pregnant women are imperative to mitigate HBV vertical transmission.

ABSTRACT

Background:
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are a significant concern for global health as they significantly contribute to mortality and morbidity. In Saudi Arabia, NCDs account for a substantial portion of deaths. Understanding barriers to adopting a healthy lifestyle is crucial for effective prevention and management. The study aims to identify barriers to physical activity and healthy eating to inform targeted interventions that promote healthier behaviors and reduce the burden of NCDs in this population.

Aim:
This study aims to determine the barriers to healthy lifestyle among patients attending primary health-care clinics in King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia.

Settings and Design:
This is a cross-sectional study; data were collected from January 2023 to July 2023. This study was conducted in three main primary health-care centers (Khashm-Ala’an, Umm-alhammam, and Iskan) of KAMC, Riyadh.

Methods:
A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in Riyadh city. The study utilized a questionnaire adapted from previous research. Results were considered significant when the P < 0.05.

Results:
The study included 383 participants aged 15 to over 45 years, with a significant proportion in the 15–29 years of age group. Approximately half were male, with the majority having attained a university education or higher. A considerable portion had never been married and reported incomes below 10,000 SR per month. Physical inactivity affected nearly half of the participants, primarily attributed to a lack of willpower, followed by factors such as lack of energy and time constraints. Barriers to a healthy diet mirrored those of physical activity, with lack of willpower and time being prominent factors. These barriers exhibited various associations with demographic variables such as age, gender, education, marital status, and income.

Conclusion:
With 383 participants, the study skewed toward young, educated, unmarried individuals with lower incomes. While nearly half reported physical inactivity and unhealthy diets, citing lack of willpower and time constraints as primary reasons, further analysis is needed to explore how these barriers connect with the diverse demographic makeup of the study population.
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt and bilateral herniotomies in mucopolysaccharidosis type I: A surgical challenge
Authors: Gupta Rahul , Goyal Manisha , Tiwari Raghav , Bhandari Anu 
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I or Hurler syndrome (1 in 100,000) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by a defective IDUA gene which codes for α-L-iduronidase enzyme. Enzyme deficiency results in the accumulation of dermatan and heparan sulfate which leads to characteristic facial features, skeletal abnormalities, hepatosplenomegaly, cardiac and pulmonary disease, and progressive mental retardation. A 1-year-old male child presented with chief complaints of increasing head size and bilateral large inguinoscrotal swellings for 5 months. He had a motor developmental delay with poor speech at 1 year of age. The infant weighed 10 kg with a length of 76.5 cm and large head size with head circumference of 53.5 cm (>97 centiles); the anterior fontanel was wide open. Facial features revealed prominent forehead, bilateral corneal clouding, and coarse facies. Per-abdomen examination revealed hepatosplenomegaly; inguinoscrotal evaluation revealed bilateral large reducible indirect inguinal hernias. Radiographic findings suggested dysostosis multiplex. Serial cranial ultrasonography revealed progressive hydrocephalus. Noncontrast computed tomography brain confirmed communicating type of hydrocephalus with periventricular ooze. Considering the clinical history, clinical examination, and skeletal survey, findings were consistent with mucopolysaccharidoses. Urine spot test for glycosaminoglycans for mucopolysaccharidosis was positive. Enzyme analysis of alpha-L-iduronidase showed deficient levels. A molecular study revealed a homozygous mutation in the IDUA gene confirming the diagnosis of Hurler syndrome. The right ventriculoperitoneal shunt was performed after preoperative optimization. Bilateral inguinal hernia repair was contemplated after a gap of 8 weeks. On 9-month follow-up, there was a gradual reduction in ventricular hemispheric ratio, and the patient is doing well on follow-up. Surgical management of the MPS I patient is challenging, but with timely medical and surgical treatment, the prognosis is improving.
