Article Abstract
Introduction: Nepal continues to face significant challenges with high maternal and neonatal mortality. To improve health and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of reducing maternal and newborn mortality by 2030, Nepal needs to focus on addressing high-burden maternal and neonatal disorders. The objective of the study was to examine the current burden of maternal and neonatal disorders in Nepal and to assess any changes over time.
Methods: We examined the annual Global Burden of Disease Study data on prevalence, deaths, Years Lived with Disability, and Disability-Adjusted Life Years for maternal and neonatal disorders in Nepal for the 1990-2019 period. Estimated annual percentage changes were also calculated to assess the trends of the age-standardised rates of these burden metrics.
Results: The analysis found that the prevalence of overall maternal disorder in Nepal decreased by 37% from 128,176 in 1990 to 80,724 in 2019 with Age-Standarised Ratio of 432.07 per 100,000 in 2019 and Estimated Annual Percentange Change of -4.34 (CI 95%: -4.49 to -4.18). Similarly, the overall prevalence of neonatal disorder increased by 57% from 303,146 in 1990 to 475,544 in 2019 with Age-Standarised Ratio of 1521.14 per 100,000 in 2019 and Estimated Annual Percentage Change of 0.98 (95% CI: 0.67-1.29).
Conclusions: Our findings emphasise the need to address maternal haemorrhage, indirect maternal deaths, maternal abortion and neonatal disorders in Nepal in future national health programs.

VNS treatment in super-refractory status epilepticus: report of two cases and systematic review of literature.

Background: super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is a rare and severe neurological condition associated with high mortality and significant long-term morbidity. In many cases, conventional medical treatments prove ineffective, with wide use of off-label therapies.
Methods: two researchers conducted a review of the medical records of subjects who had undergone VNS implantation in our tertiary Centre.

Objective: To compare the mode of delivery and other maternal and neonatal outcomes in patients with one prior cesarean delivery undergoing labor induction with a cervical ripening balloon (CRB) for 6 h versus 12 h.
Methods: This retrospective study compared two protocols for mechanical cervical ripening: CRB placement for 12 h (12-h group, implemented from 2014 to 2017) versus 6 h (6-h group, implemented from 2020 to 2021). The study included patients with one prior low-segment cesarean delivery.

Background: Adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in women with Tourette syndrome or chronic tic disorder (TS/CTD) have not been systematically studied. This Swedish population-based study investigated associations between maternal TS/CTD and pregnancy, delivery, and neonatal outcomes.
Methods: We included all singleton births at ≥22 weeks between 2001 and 2021.

A woman, gravida 5, para 3, presented with fetal ascites at 19 weeks of gestation. Urinary ascites was initially suspected because of massive ascites and oligohydramnios; however, biochemical analysis of fetal ascites was inconsistent with this diagnosis. A peritoneal-amniotic shunt was placed to prevent pulmonary hypoplasia.

The reduction in clinical rotation hours, particularly in high-demand pediatric subspecialties such as Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) and Pediatric Emergency Rooms (ER), has highlighted the need for innovative approaches to enhance pediatric residency education. A 2019 survey of Italian pediatric residency programs revealed that most residents receive fewer than five hours of simulation-based training annually, with 66% participating in no simulation activities. Additionally, pediatric ER rotation hours have seen significant reductions-daytime rotations decreased by 29%, while nighttime rotations were reduced by 60% over the past four years at the University of Genoa.
