Abstract

Background: Prelabour rupture of membrane at term accounts for 2-10% incidence. It is associated withsignificant maternal and fetal complications if not timely managed. Early complications include cordprolapse, cord compression and placental abruption and delayed complications include chorioamnionitis,maternal and fetal sepsis. The present study was undertaken to study the labour outcome following activemanagement of term prelabour rupture of membrane and associated maternal and fetal outcome.Method: Cases of spontaneous rupture of membranes with singleton pregnancy with gestational age >37weeks with confirmed PROM by a speculum examination were selected. A detailed history was taken andgestational age confirmed, general, systemic and obstetric examinations were done. Non stress tests andblood investigations were sent to rule out sepsis. All patients received prophylactic antibiotics. After takingconsent, induction of labour was done with oral misoprostol and maternal vitals were recorded four hourlyand fetal heart rate was recorded for variability. Induction to delivery interval was recorded and maternal andfetal outcome following PROM was noted.Results: PROM was more common in primigravida. Majority of women were admitted within 12 hoursof PROM (87.83%). Recurrent episodes of urinary tract infection was found a significant cause for PROM(33.78%). Patient delivered vaginally with 55.40%. Post delivery complications included post partum sepsisin 12.16%. No maternal mortality was noted. Neonatal sepsis was seen in 6 babies (8.10%).Conclusion: PROM is associated with many maternal and fetal complications which can be reduced byeducating the women to have regular antenatal check up and early recognition of urinary and genital tractinfection, and treat appropriately and to report at the earliest in case of rupture of membrane for timelymanagement to reduce maternal and fetal morbidities and mortalities.

Abstract

Morbidly adherent placenta is a serious and life-threatening condition. High index of suspicion for placentaaccreta can save patient from undergoing hysterectomy. Timely and appropriate treatment modality is keyin reducing morbidity of the patient Reporting herewith a case of 22-24 weeks intrauterine fetal demisein a primigravida patient who was diagnosed with Placenta accreta. Ultrasonography and MRI confirmedthe diagnosis. Primigravida with no live issue, no active bleeding and stable vital parameters favoredthe option of conservative management in the form of “single dose methotrexate regime”. Patient wasthen given Injection methotrexate 50 mg IM on day 1. Regularly monitored with CBC(complete bloodcount),LFT(Liver Function Test),KFT(kidney Function Test), beta HCG, USG and pelvic doppler. On day 7piecemeal removal of complete placenta accrete was successful under USG guidance.

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is one of the most common inherited disorders of connective tissue. It is anautosomal dominant condition with a reported incidence of 1 in 3000 to 5000 individuals. There is a widerange of clinical severity associated with MFS with classic ocular, cardiovascular and musculoskeletalabnormalities, while some patients demonstrate significant involvement of the lung, skin and central nervoussystem. A 11 years old female child came to the ophthalmology OPD with chief complaints of diminution ofvision in both eyes, more in right eye since last 2 months. Patient also complains of pain in right eye sincelast 3 days. On examination patient had a tall stature, arachnodactyly with positive wrist and thumb signs,right eye had superotemporal subluxation of lens,the left eye had temporal subluxation with iridodonesis onautorefractometer patient was having high myopic reading

Abstract

Obstacles of transfusion of blood are uncommon but can endanger the health. Anaphylactic reactionsassociated with the blood transfusion (BT) of PRC blood components presents as bradycardia followed bytachycardia and urticaria within 15 minutes of transfusion. In suchcases, clinicians should strictly monitorthe patient’s condition at least while the patient receives blood transfusion.Here we are reporting a case of 28 year old pregnant female presented with Iron deficiency anemia (IDA), aLSCS (caesarean section) delivery was performed and blood was transfused, who was affected by an acuteanaphylactic reaction following red cell transfusion. This case highpoints the need to examine potential riskof transfusion of the blood component against the alleged advantage.

Abstract

Introduction: Obesity, especially, adolescent obesity is specially a matter of concern and the causes aremanifold that includes lack of regular exercise, sedentary life style, over consumption of high caloric foods;genetic, endocrine and metabolic mechanisms and perinatal and early life factors.Pulmonary function testingis the most commonly performed lung function test and are considered to be the initial screening tool forpulmonary diseases. Medical students of M.B.B.S. course have a hectic schedule along with inappropriatediet and sedentary lifestyle of can cause them to gain weight. Since obesity in these young adults is associatedwith various pulmonary function alterations, it becomes necessary to assess the respiratory functions ofthese medical students.Aim: To assess the pulmonary functions in obese young adults.Objectives: To compare the effects of central obesity versus peripheral obesity on pulmonary functions ascompared to the normal.Settings: Department of Physiology Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Datta Meghe Institute of MedicalSciences, Wardha and Department of Medicine, TNMC & BYL Nair Ch. Hospital, Mumbai Central, Mumbai.Method: After taking informed written consent, anthropometric data was recorded from each participant.Obese medical students were divided into central and peripheral obese groups on the basis of waist hipratio and waist circumference. On brief general and clinical examination, pulmonary function tests (FVC,FEV1 and FEV1/FVC ratio) of central obese, peripheral obese and healthy subjects were recorded usingMIR Spirometer with Winspiro-Pro 4.4 software after one practice attempt and report was interpreted.Comparison of data among various study groups was done by using Chi square test and one way Analysis ofVariance (ANOVA) – Tukey’s post hoc test. The level of significance was set at 5%. The P-value ?0.05 wasconsidered as statistically significant.Interventions: Not applicable.Results: There was a statistically significant difference of mean values of FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC %between normal and peripheral obese groups and between normal and central obese groups and also betweenperipheral obese and central obese groups.Conclusion: This study shows that young obese adults have lower pulmonary function tests values ascompared to normal individuals whereas the detrimental effect is more in the central obese than peripheralobesity. Hence early identification and initiation of preventive measures to prevent the deterioration of lungfunctions in susceptible young adults is crucial.

Abstract

Ectopic pregnancy is a condition where the fertilized oocyte gets implanted outside the uterus. Tubal ectopicpregnancy accounts for 95 % of the ectopic gestation. Remaining 5 % involves the ovaries, cervix, cornua,abdominal and scar site pregnancies. Spontaneous ectopic pregnancy occurs when there is no prior infertilitytreatment taken. Bilateral spontaneous tubal ectopic pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic gestation. HerebyI would discuss a case of spontaneous bilateral ectopic pregnancy and its outcome. Case: A 35 years oldgravid 2 abortion 1 with secondary infertility of 13 yrs came to emergency casualty with complaints of lowerabdominal pain, spotting per vagina with giddiness and syncopal attack.Diagnosis: Based on clinical findings of acute anaemia due to internal blood loss and free fluid in thelower abdomen with fullness on forniceal palpation and bulky uterus. Trans abdominal ultrasonography wasconfirmatory in diagnosing bilateral adnexal mass with free fluid in pouch of Douglas.Intervention: Emergency exploratory laparotomy with adequate blood transfusion. Patient recovereduneventfully.Conclusion: Women in reproductive age group with history of amenorrhoea with irregular spotting and acuteabdominal pain with syncopal attack should be managed vigorously keeping in mind ectopic pregnancy soas to have less morbidity and chances of good future pregnancy. Salphingotomy as an alternative methodshould be practiced.
