    Abstract Objectives: To determine the knowledge attitude and practices of mothers regarding complementary feeing. Study Design: Descriptive study conducted at outpatient department of Civil Hospital Karachi over duration of 12 months. Material and Methods: One hundred and thirty-eight mothers of children age up till 2 years attending OPDof Pediatrics Civil Hospital Karachi were selected for the study. Mothers were interviewed to ascertain their infant feeding practices and various beliefs/taboos/ feeding during illness affecting these practices. Results: Malnutrition Hundred and thirty-eight mothers were interviewed. Hundred and nineteen (86.2%) mothers started breast milk soon after birth. The frequency of breastfeeding was high initially but then declined rapidly with supplementation of bottle feeding. Exclusive breastfeeding was of short duration. Knowledge attitude and practices of mothers regarding complementary feeing was poor in terms of quantity and quality. Commonestage of introduction of complementary feeding was before 6 months with readymade items as their first choice. Conclusion: The knowledge attitude and practices of mothers regarding EBF, complementary feeding, is defective. Therefore there is a need to educate mothers to ensure better growth and development of our children.

    Abstract Anthracyclines ( i.e. , doxorubicin, daunorubicin) have significant impact on outcome in many pediatric chemotherapy protocols and therefore remain the mainstay of treatment. The objective of this study was to identify the risk factors for anthracycline induced cardiac dysfunction in pediatric patients. Multiple logistic regression model was applied to assess the risk factors for development of cardiac dysfunction. 110 pediatric oncology patients were available for final analysis. 75 (66%) children were males and mean age was 74 ± 44 months. ALL ( n = 70, 64%) was the most common primary diagnosis followed by lymphoma ( n = 19; 17%) and AML ( n = 12, 11%). Daunorubicin alone or in combination with doxorubicin was used in ( n = 94, 85%) patients and cumulative dose < 300 mg was used in ( n = 95; 86%) children. 24 (22%) children received radiation therapy as per protocol and sepsis were observed in 47 (43%) cases. Post anthracycline, 15 (14%) children had cardiac dysfunction within a month; out of them 10/15 (67%) had isolated diastolic dysfunction, while 28 (25%) developed dysfunction within a year. 19 (17%) had pericardial effusion. 11 expired and out of them, 7 had significant cardiac dysfunction. Cumulative dose > 300 mg/m 2 ( p < 0.001; AOR 2.3), radiation therapy ( p = 0.009; AOR 3.5) and sepsis ( p = 0.002; AOR 2.6) were found to be independent risk factors associated anthracycline induced cardiac dysfunction. At univariant level use of daunorubicin alone or in combination therapy ( p < 0.001, OR 7) and mode of delivery ( p 0.048, OR 9.7) were also found statistically significant. In conclusion anthracycline induced cardiac dysfunction is mostly related to cumulative dose > 300 mg/m 2 , use of Daunorubicin alone or in combination with doxorubicin, mode of delivery, radiation therapy and sepsis. Regular long term follow-up with cardiologist is the key point for early diagnosis and therapy for a long term survival.
