Abstract: Background:  The proliferation of digital devices—smartphones, tablets, and gaming consoles—has fundamentally altered the childhood experience. While digital media offers educational opportunities, excessive and unsupervised "screen time" during critical periods of brain plasticity is increasingly linked to various psychological and behavioral challenges. Objective:  This review investigates the impact of digital media exposure on the cognitive, emotional, and socia

Abstract: Background:  Approximately 30% of children with epilepsy develop "Refractory" or "Drug-Resistant" Epilepsy (DRE), where seizures persist despite adequate trials of two or more tolerated and appropriately chosen anti-seizure medications (ASMs). Persistent seizures in the developing brain are associated with significant cognitive decline, behavioral issues, and a higher risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). Objective:  This review highlights the recent

Abstract: Background:  Traditionally considered a disease of adulthood, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is increasingly being diagnosed in children and adolescents. This shift is primarily driven by the global epidemic of childhood obesity, fueled by sedentary lifestyles, high-caloric "ultra-processed" diets, and genetic predisposition. Objective:  This review examines the physiological mechanisms linking excessive adiposity to insulin resistance in the pediatric population a

Abstract: Background:  Immunization is widely regarded as one of the most cost-effective public health interventions in history. In the South Asian region, which houses nearly one-fourth of the global birth cohort, childhood vaccination programs face unique challenges—ranging from dense population and migration to vaccine hesitancy and logistical "cold chain" barriers. Objective:  This review assesses the progress, impact, and socio-economic benefits of expanded immunization

Abstract: Background:  Neonatal sepsis—a systemic infection occurring within the first 28 days of life—remains a formidable challenge in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Despite medical advancements, the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens has compromised the efficacy of standard empirical antibiotic regimens, leading to increased morbidity and healthcare costs. Objective:  This review summarizes the changing bacteriological profile of neonatal sepsis and e

Progesterone, often termed the "pregnancy hormone," plays a fundamental role

However, the advent of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)—encompassing conventional laparoscopy and Robot-Assisted Surger

In resource-limited settings, delayed diagnosis and lack of advanced intensive care fac

Review Paper | 2026 | Volume 1 | Issue 1 | Page 1-10 Dr. Abhilasha Jain, Assistant Professor, Department of Gynecology, GMC, Bhatinda Abstract: Background:  The intrauterine environment plays a critical role in shaping the long-term health and cognitive potential of the offspring. Maternal nutrition is perhaps the most significant modifiable factor influencing fetal brain development. During gestation, the rapid proliferation of neurons, synaptogenesis, and myelination requir
