Read More Background: Postpartum depression has negative effects on mother, child and family. Regarding the side effects of antidepressants and because of contradictory results on the effects of herbal medicines, the present meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of herbal medicines in treatment of postpartum depression and maternal-infant attachment. Materials and Methods: An extensive search was done in databases of Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane, and Web of Science in English databases as well as IranDoc, Magiran, Medlib and SID, in Persian databases with no time limitations until November 2018. Two independent researchers screened articles, in the next step, full texts of probably relevant articles were summarized and categorized based on the evaluated outcomes and overall effect size was presented. Results: The meta-analysis of five trials showed score of depression was lower in herbal medicines group compared to placebo (Standardized Mean Difference [SMD= -0.648], 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.849 to -0.446). Heterogeneity was non-significant (I2=0%, p=0.476). Meta-analysis of compounds containing lavender decreased score of depression significantly compared to control group. Heterogeneity was non-significant (SMD=-0.629, 95%CI: -0.847 to -0.411, I2=9.8%, p=0.34). The lavender meta-analysis of three studies showed a significant effect in comparison to control group (SMD=-0.570, 95%CI: -0.799 to -0.341; I2=9.8%, p=0.34). The aromatherapy meta-analysis showed that aromatherapy with or without massage could lead to a significant decrease in score of depression compared to control group (SMD= -0.637, 95%CI: -0.924 to -0.333; I2=66%, p=0.084). Some herbal medicines showed a significant effect on maternal-infant attachment and feelings toward baby scale. Conclusion: Herbal medicines can be considered as an alternative option in treatment of postpartum depression. Also, maternal-infant attachment and feelings toward baby scale were affected by herbal medicines.

Read More Background: Fungal infections with high morbidity and mortality in neonatal intensive care unit are usually preceded by colonization. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of fungal colonization, determine the risk factors and health outcome such as any change in the patient's improvement in hospitalized infants of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted on all newborns who were hospitalized in Namazee NICU which is the largest neonatal center in Southwestern Iran during the six- month period from January to July 2018. The eye, urine, perineum, nose, throat, umbilicus and blood were sampled within 72 hours following NICU admission and repeated one week later. Each newborn with at least one positive fungi culture from surveillance site was defined as fungal colonization. All newborns were categorized into two groups based on results of fungal colonization; they were evaluated for baseline perinatal and neonatal characteristic data, probable risk factors (such as prior antibiotics, presence of an endotracheal tube and neonatal disease) and health outcomes (cure, improvement or death). Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software (version 22.0). Results: From a total of 105 (37 girls, 68 boys) hospitalized newborns in NICU, forty-eight (45.7%) of them were colonized by Candida spp. which was the only fungus isolated from the cultures. There were significant differences for the level of hemoglobin (p= 0.04) and cardiac diseases (p= 0.04) between the two groups of fungal colonization and non -colonized newborns. One-third of the newborns that had fungal colonization passed away vs. one-tenth without fungal colonization. Conclusion Based on the results, there was a 45.7% rate of fungal colonization in hospitalized newborns in NICU. Hemoglobin level and cardiac diseases were a risk factor for fungal colonization in these patients. The rate of death was approximately three-fold in hospitalized infants with fungal colonization vs. non fungi infected.
