an early intervention program for very low birthweight infants. No To Hattatsu, 33 (1), 31-36. KC group got NBAS as
intervention at 40 weeks PCA and then 44 wks (or may be from 38-44 wks for treatment) of KC starting at 38 weeks
PCA. NBAS used at 44 wks, Bayley at 12 months. KC group scored higher on orientation, motor performance, state
range & regulation tasks, supplementary on NBAS, lower scores in intensity and higher scores in Mood on Carey at 6
months; at 12 month KC infants had higher Bayley Mental and Motor Scales. KC promotes neonatal behavioral
organization and developmental outcome over 1 st year of life. Development, NBAS, Temperament. Longitudinal
non-randomized as KC grp compared to historical control.

AB, Bushnell MC. (2002). Unmyelinated tactile afferents signal touch and project to insular cortex. Nature
Neuroscience 5 (sept). (9), 900-904. Human hairy skin has dual tactile innervation: fast conducting myelinated afferent
fibers, and slow conducting unmyelinated (C)afferents that respond to light, caressing touch. Activation of C tactile (CT)
afferents produced faint sensation of pleasant touch. Activation of CT fibers in skin activate the insular cortex (limbic
system), not somatosensory areas of S1 and S2. CT is a system for limbic touch that underlies the emotional, hormonal,
and affiliative responses to caress-like, skin-to-skin contact between individuals. Touch physiology. KC as pleasant
experience.

trial of 5 KC and 9 routine parental holding of 27-32 wk PCA prematures. Kcers got 30 min/day x 4days/wk x 4 wks.
Control got adlib parental visiting and holding x 4 wks. At end of 4 th week, no differences between groups on weight
gain, Test of Infant Motor Performance, and Maternal Attachment Inventory and length of stay – but KC infants had
significantly lower PCAs at entry. PT, RCT, MOTOR DEV, Maternal attachment, Lenth of stay, wgt gain

We? Presentation at “Workshops on KMC at Neoncon 2004. XXIV NNF Annual Convention at Chandigarh,
28October, 2004” Available from file://E:\KangarooMotherCareInitiative(KMCI)..htm. A pretest-posttest study of
knowledge among 95 participants (65 pediatric and ob nurses, 30 pediatricans and obstetricians who were not doing KC
at their institutions) All were given one day skill-based awareness program. Given questionnaire the morning of the
program and posttest questionnaire at end of the day. Minority participants had heard of KMC, knowledge improved
significantly after the one day class on components of KMC, benefits of KMC, KMC adaptation, thermoregulation in
newborns, growth in preterms, preterm milk, monitoring of baby, discharge criteria, and KMC follow-up, but only 80%
of participants knew one area at end of day, so authors concluded that present knowledge about preterm, LBW babies
and KMC is unsatisfactory in Mumbai (Bombay) and that more education is needed. Descriptive, Preterm, 3 rd world,
