  • Pediatrics
  • Consumer Product Evaluation

Background:

  • Daily bathing is a common practice for newborns and infants.
  • Assessing the safety and efficacy of infant skincare products is crucial for parental trust and infant health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate parent and medical satisfaction with the daily use of specific bath products in newborns and infants.
  • To assess the safety profile of these products during an 8-week randomized controlled trial.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial involving 606 newborns/infants.
  • Participants were allocated to a single group using Johnson's Baby products daily for 8 weeks.

Main Results:

  • Parents reported increased satisfaction levels throughout the study period.
  • Pediatricians observed no secondary effects on the skin of newborn children, particularly in infants aged 0-4 weeks.
  • Positive safety and efficacy were noted in 186 newborns (92 female, 94 male).

Conclusions:

  • The evaluated bath products are suitable for daily use in newborns, starting from the first days of life.
  • The study supports the use of these products for infant skincare routines based on safety and satisfaction outcomes.

Handwashing II: Pre-procedure and Initial Procedure Steps

The pre-procedure steps of handwashing include removing jewelry and rolling up sleeves. However, many organizations allow staff to wear wedding rings.
The hand washing procedure itself includes the following steps. First, cover cuts, if any, on hands with a waterproof dressing. Cuts and abrasions can become contaminated with bacteria hindering the ability to clean the area thoroughly. In addition, repeated hand washing can worsen an injury.  The nails must be short and clean, without nail paint...
Development of Human Microbiota01:30

Development of Human Microbiota

The human microbiota begins developing at birth and undergoes continual change as we age. Infancy marks a critical period of microbial sensitivity, offering a “window of opportunity” during which beneficial microbes help mature the immune system. By age three, children typically develop a more stable and diverse microbial community. Newborns acquire microbes from their immediate environment; vaginal delivery favors maternal vaginal microbes, while cesarean births favor microbes from the skin...

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics

Respiratory symptoms, such as congestion and cough, commonly accompany respiratory tract conditions. Various medications, such as antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics, play crucial roles in providing relief.
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla.  Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by anesthetizing...
Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
