Abstract

Most obstetric complications occur during delivery and cannot be predicted. Therefore, all deliveries should be done through the utilization of SBAs (skilled birth attendants). The study assesses socio-demographic factors and other antenatal or perinatal determinants related to the pattern of birth attendance in Badarganj Upazila, Bangladesh. During the study period, 640 samples were collected from several villages. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews with a well-structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multinomial logistic regression. The chi-square test was used to determine the association among selected variables in this study. Mothers were aged between 15-45 years. Approximately, half of the mothers (47.0%) used SBAs in their delivery. Maternal educational status, occupation, monthly income, complications during delivery, and antenatal checkups by SBAs were significant determinants. Mothers who took antenatal advice during antenatal visits by SBAs were 2.017 times more likely to use SBAs for conducting delivery compared to those who did not take any delivery advice. Though the ratio of delivery at home is high through the utilization of skilled birth attendants (SBAs), mothers use trained birth assistants (TBAs) or unskilled birth assistants at an alarming rate. Policymakers can use identified factors to overcome this issue by designing interventions and developing healthcare policies.

Abstract

The high frequency of cervical cancer among women is a concern in Indonesia. Cervical cancer prevention involves two approaches: primary prevention through Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and secondary prevention through early detection. Women's knowledge is important because the better knowledge about early detection will influence women to do early detection. This study aimed to examine the correlation between knowledge of early detection and women's awareness of cervical cancer screening in Lubang Buaya. This study employed quantitative research methodologies using a cross-sectional design. The sampling method was purposive sampling which recruited a total of 234 married women aged 30-50 years residing in Lubang Buaya. The instruments used in this study were Knowledge about Cervical Cancer Screening Questionnaire and Cervical Cancer Awareness Measure (CAM) Questionnaire. The Chi-square test was performed to analyze the data. The results revealed a significant correlation between the two variables, as indicated by a p-value of less than 0.001 (p < 0.05). A correlation exists between knowledge of early detection and women's awareness of cervical cancer screening.

Abstract

Plantar fasciitis is a degenerative condition affecting the connective tissue in the heel, characterized by pain at the medial plantar tuberosity of the calcaneus. It commonly occurs in elderly individuals aged 60 and above, with most cases resolving without treatment. However, therapeutic options become limited for older patients, particularly those aged 40 and above. This study evaluates various treatment methods for geriatric patients with plantar fasciitis, focusing on both medical and non-medical approaches. A comprehensive review of 19 relevant journals from 2000 to 2024 was conducted, analyzing treatments and their effectiveness in elderly populations. The results consistently demonstrated that Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections were highly effective in treating plantar fasciitis in elderly patients. No non-injection treatments were found to surpass the efficacy of PRP. Further research is needed to explore additional effective therapies for geriatric plantar fasciitis beyond PRP.

Abstract

Fibroids are the most common benign smooth muscle tumours of uterus. Some patients are asymptomatic whereas symptomatic patients may present with heavy menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhoea and pressure symptoms. Case report: Six Atypical fibroid cases have been reported in this case series report because of their rarity, diagnostic dilemma and difficulty in surgical approach supplemented by photographical evidence against each case. In case of Atypical fibroids, symptoms depend on the site of involvement and they may mimic other pelvic organ involvement like ovarian malignancy. Fibroids are mainly diagnosed by ultrasonography (USG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) but may be difficult because of its unusual findings on USG and MRI. Patients can be managed either conservatively or surgically depending on their response. Surgical options include conservative surgery like Myomectomy or Hysterectomy, which can be done by open surgery or by minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The case series report may highlight on surgeons’ approach in case of atypical fibroids

Abstract

Unsafe abortion is a significant contributor to maternal mortality, particularly in resource-limited settings. Despite supportive legal frameworks, women in Northern India encounter delays in seeking safe abortion services. A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 500 women seeking abortion services at three tertiary healthcare centers in Northern India. Data were collected using structured interviews and medical record reviews. Participants reported an average delay of 18 days in seeking abortion services. Lack of awareness about legal rights (42%), fear of social stigma (37%), and limited economic resources (29%) were significant contributors to delay. Rural women experienced longer delays than urban women. This study highlights critical gaps in awareness, access, and societal acceptance related to safe abortion in Northern India. To reduce delays, strengthened community education, improved referral networks, and better training for frontline healthcare providers are essential. Addressing these gaps at policy and programmatic levels can alleviate the burden of unsafe abortion and reduce preventable maternal morbidity and mortality. This study's findings have significant implications for improving maternal health outcomes in Northern India

Abstract

The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in Indonesia remains higher than in developed countries, with one of the main contributing factors being Low Birth Weight (LBW) infants. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that the global prevalence of LBW ranges from 15% to 20% of all births. In Indonesia, the prevalence of LBW based on the 2022 Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI) was 6%, while in West Sumatra, the LBW rate was recorded at 4.4%. At Dr. M. Djamil Hospital Padang, data from 2023–2024 showed that the incidence of LBW reached 47.49% in 2023 and increased to 52.92% in 2024. LBW increases the risk of neonatal mortality by up to 20 times and has the potential to cause long-term complications. This study aims to analyze the relationship between maternal factors and low birth weight outcomes at Dr. M. Djamil Hospital, Padang, in 2023–2024. This research used a quantitative study design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 58 postpartum mothers who met the inclusion criteria, selected using the Consecutive Sampling technique. The study found that 37.9% of newborns had LBW, 36.2% of mothers were either too young or too old, 37.9% were primiparous, 41.4% had preterm gestational age, and 39.7% experienced hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. Additionally, 43.1% of infants had severe asphyxia based on Apgar scores, 82.8% required NICU care, and 53.4% had comorbid asphyxia-related conditions. Bivariate analysis using the chi-square test showed significant associations between maternal age (p=0.018), parity (p=0.028), gestational age (p=0.024), and pregnancy morbidity (p=0.029) with LBW. There is a significant relationship between maternal age, parity, gestational age, and pregnancy morbidity with the incidence of low birth weight. Effective interventions are needed to reduce the prevalence of LBW and its associated complications. Low Birth Weight (LBW), Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), Maternal Factors, Neonatal Outcomes, Dr. M.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a significant contributor to neonatal complications, particularly neonatal asphyxia, which remains one of the leading causes of early neonatal mortality. This study aimed to determine the association between maternal preeclampsia and neonatal asphyxia and to examine the modifying effects of maternal age and parity. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at a referral hospital in Lampung Province using secondary data from 96 laboring mothers and their newborns in 2024. Preeclampsia was identified based on clinical diagnosis, and neonatal asphyxia was defined by a 1-minute Apgar score below 7. Chi-square test and multivariable logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. The results showed that 62.5% of mothers were diagnosed with preeclampsia, and 43.8% of newborns experienced neonatal asphyxia. A significant association was found between preeclampsia and neonatal asphyxia, with an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 3.14 (95% CI: 1.29–7.61; p = 0.011). Interaction analysis indicated that maternal age under 20 years (adjusted OR = 4.25; p = 0.039) and primiparity (adjusted OR = 3.78; p = 0.027) significantly increased the risk of neonatal asphyxia among mothers with preeclampsia. These findings highlight the compounded risks in younger and first-time mothers with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. This study underscores the importance of early detection of preeclampsia, tailored antenatal care, and close monitoring of high-risk pregnancies, particularly among adolescents and primiparous women, to prevent adverse neonatal outcomes such as asphyxia

Abstract

Age at menarche is an important marker of reproductive health and varies widely among individuals. Familial factors, especially maternal and sibling age at menarche, have been identified as strong predictors that influence the onset of puberty in girls. This study aimed to analyze the association between familial factors and the age at menarche among students, their mothers, and older sisters. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 52 female students from an elementary school in Surabaya who had already experienced menarche. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed a significant association between the students’ age at menarche and the age at menarche of their mothers and/or older sisters (p = 0.008). Students whose mothers and/or older sisters experienced menarche at an earlier age tended to reach menarche earlier as well. This pattern suggests a hereditary influence within families, indicating that maternal and sibling menarcheal history contributes substantially to determining menarcheal timing among female elementary students. These findings reinforce the role of familial factors in the biological regulation of pubertal onset.
