Item Alcohol in liquid pharmaceutical preparations--harmful for children.(1990-03-01) Mathur, G P; Mathur, S; Bhushan, V; Gupta, VItem Anterior fontanel size.(1994-02-01) Mathur, S; Kumar, R; Mathur, G P; Singh, V K; Gupta, V; Tripathi, V NAnterior fontanel size was determined in a cross-sectional study of 445 infants ranging in age from newborn period to 2 years. The mean anterior fontanel size in neonates was 3.37 +/- 0.61 cm which decreased to 0.37 +/- 0.06 cm in 24 months age group. The age of closure of anterior fontanel was 12, 18 and 24 months in 40%, 70.4% and 91.3%, respectively.Item Antibiotic sensitivity pattern of bacterial isolates from infants and children.(1970-05-01) Mathur, G P; Dayal, R S; Prasad, R; Atal, P R; Mathur, S; Bal, AItem Arthrogryposis with meningomyelocele, polythelia and absent ribs.(1969-06-01) Mathur, S; Mathur, I; Mathur, G P; Gupta, M CItem Breast milk total nitrogen, non-protein nitrogen and lactoferrin content.(1988-07-01) Mathur, G P; Mathur, SItem Breastfeeding and childhood cancer.(1993-05-01) Mathur, G P; Gupta, N; Mathur, S; Gupta, V; Pradhan, S; Dwivedi, J N; Tripathi, B N; Kushwaha, K P; Sathy, N; Modi, U JTotal duration of breastfeeding and of exclusive breastfeeding was studied and compared in 99 childhood cancer cases and 90 controls. The difference between the average duration of breastfeeding in cases and controls was significant (p < 0.05), but when average duration of exclusive breastfeeding was compared in cases and controls the difference was highly significant (p < 0.001). In lymphoma cases and controls the difference between the average duration of breastfeeding was moderately significant (p < 0.01). However, when average duration of exclusive breastfeeding was compared in lymphoma cases and controls the difference was highly significant (p < 0.001). When other cancer groups and controls were compared with respect to their total duration of breastfeeding and duration of exclusive breastfeeding the differences when insignificant (p > 0.05). Cases and controls were not different with respect to their age, sex, birth year, birth order, age and educational status of mothers, smoking of fathers and socioeconomic status. However, a positive family history of cancer was obtained in 4 (4%) of cases whereas in controls it was obtained in only 1 (1.1%).Item Breastfeeding in babies delivered by cesarean section.(1993-11-01) Mathur, G P; Pandey, P K; Mathur, S; Sharma, S; Agnihotri, M; Bhalla, M; Bhalla, J NOne hundred mothers undergoing cesarean section and their infants were studied regarding various factors affecting the establishment of breastfeeding during their stay in hospital (mean = 11 +/- 3.6 days). Nearly two-thirds (65.7%) of mothers who underwent elective cesarean section, and 62.8% of mothers who received spinal anesthesia were breastfeeding exclusively; while only 53.8% mothers who had undergone an emergency cesarean section and 28.6% who received general anesthesia were exclusively breastfeeding their neonates. All 9 mothers who initiated breastfeeding within 12 h of the surgery were practicing total breastfeeding. In contrast only 5.8% of mothers who initiated breastfeeding after 96 hours, were exclusively breastfeeding their neonates. Total breastfeeding was more frequent (86.8%) in newborn infants who received prelacteal feeds by spoon as compared to those who received by feeding bottle (33.3%). Babies separated from the mothers in hospital were less likely (35.5%) to be on total breastfeeding as compared to those (68.1%) who were not separated from their mothers. This study suggests that for proper establishment of breastfeeding in mothers undergoing cesarean section an elective procedure under spinal anesthesia promotes, early initiation of breastfeeding. Early initiation of breastfeeding has highly significant correlation with establishment of breastfeeding while separation of babies from mothers discourages breastfeeding.Item Breastfeeding status and marketing practices of baby food manufactured in nursing homes.(1993-11-01) Mathur, G P; Pandey, P K; Mathur, S; Mishra, V K; Singh, K; Bhatt, O P; Loomba, R K; Luthra, C; Taneja, S; Kapoor, RItem Cerebrospinal fluid immunoglobulins in meningitis.(1989-12-01) Gupta, V; Gupta, R K; Agarwal, A; Tripathi, V N; Mathur, G PItem Childhood disability--a challenge to the nation.(1986-09-01) Mathur, G P; Kushwaha, K P; Lele, S NItem A clinical and radiological study of measles.(1967-06-01) Prasad, R; Mathur, G P; Trehan, O P; Mehrotra, M L; Dayal, R SItem Congenital megalo-urethra with giantism of the penis.(1975-01-01) Dikshit, K P; Mathur, G P; Elhence, I PItem A cooperative study of tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis.(1974-11-01) Pamra, S P; Mathur, G PItem Delivery of better maternal and child health (MCH) services through continuous monitoring of grades III and IV malnourished children in ICDS scheme.(1983-01-01) Kushwaha, K P; Mathur, G P; Mathur, S; Singh, Y DItem Detection and prevention of childhood disability with the help of Anganwadi workers.(1995-07-01) Mathur, G P; Mathur, S; Singh, Y D; Kushwaha, K P; Lele, S NOBJECTIVES: To evaluate the role of Anganwadi Workers (AWW) for detection and prevention of disability in children below 6 years of age. DESIGN: Cross sectional and longitudinal follow up. SETTING: Ten Anganwadi Centers in ICDS Urban Project. METHODS: Trained AWWs identified disabilities and instituted preventive measures like immunization and supplementary nutrition. Simultaneous independent verification by pediatricians. Repeat survey after 6 mo of follow-up. Results: Amongst the 1545 children, AWW identified disability in 126 subjects which were verified in 118 cases by pediatricians. The disability rate was 7638 per 100,000 population. Visual, mental, orthopedic, speech and hearing disabilities rates were 4790, 2654, 583, 518 and 453 per 100,000 population, respectively. In the repeat survey, 35 of the 74 children with visual disability (mostly xerophthalmia), 4 of the 9 with orthopedic disability and 3 of the 7 with hearing disability could be managed satisfactorily. CONCLUSIONS: AWW can help in early detection and appropriate management of incipient and preventable childhood disabilities.Item Development of rectal bacterial flora in neonates during first seven days of life.(1973-10-01) Mathur, G P; Kumar, R; Arora, D P; Saxena, K; Mohsin, S; Mathur, SItem Dhatura poisoning.(1986-10-01) Mathur, G P; Mathur, SItem Diarrhoea in infancy and childhood with special reference to its etiology.(1966-10-01) Prasad, R; Atal, P R; Mathur, G P; Dayal, R SItem Doctor's declaration for breast feeding.(1988-01-01) Mathur, G PItem Drowning and near-drowning.(1986-10-01) Mathur, G P; Mathur, S
