Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Effect of delayed cord clamping on iron stores in infants born to anemic mothers: a randomized controlled trial.
To study the effects of cord clamping on iron stores of infants born to anemic mothers at 3 months of age. ⋯ Iron stores and Hb in infancy can be improved in neonates born to anemic mothers by delaying cord clamping at birth.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Midazolam sedation in mechanically ventilated newborns: a double blind randomized placebo controlled trial.
To determine efficacy of midazolam as a sedative in mechanically ventilated newborns. ⋯ Sedation provided by continuous infusion of midazolam and morphine appears to be comparable to morphine alone in newborn babies on mechanical ventilation, with no significant adverse effects. The course of mechanical ventilation is not influenced by use of midazolam.

To evaluate the relative frequency of other conditions that share a clinical overlap with pneumonia as defined by the WHO case management algorithm and to determine the possibility of refining the antibiotic and bronchodilator prescription on the basis of simple clinical features. ⋯ It is feasible to amalgamate simple clinical features (history of: (i) previous similar episode of cough and difficult breathing, and (ii) fever) in the WHO case management algorithm to significantly refine the antibiotic (95% CI range 7% to 33%) and bronchodilator (35%; 95% CI 27% to 43%) prescription.
