Management of Stillbirth

Image
Stillbirth is one of the maximum not unusualplace destructive being pregnant outcomes, happening in 1 in a hundred and sixty deliveries with inside the United States. In evolved countries, the maximum everyday threat elements related to stillbirth are non-Hispanic black race, nulliparity, superior maternal age, obesity, preexisting diabetes, persistent hypertension, smoking, alcohol use, having a being pregnant the usage of assisted reproductive technology, a couple of gestation, male fetal sex, single status, and beyond obstetric history. Although a number of those elements can be modifiable ( together with smoking), many are not. The have a look at of particular reasons of stillbirth has been hampered via way of means of the dearth of uniform protocols to assess and classify stillbirths and via way of means of reducing post-mortem rates. In any particular case, it is able to be hard to assign an exact motive to a stillbirth. A considerable sha

Relationship Between Umbilical Cord Gas Values and Neonatal Outcomes

Assess the relationship between the umbilical cord gas value and fetal delivery tolerance, as reflected by the Apgar score. We assume that there is a wide range of biological variability in fetal tolerance to metabolic acidemia. If it exists, this will weaken a basic hypothesis using electronic fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of single, non-abnormal term fetuses born at our institution from March 2012 to July 2020. The commonly obtained umbilical cord gas value and Apgar score were extracted. We calculated Spearman's correlation coefficients and receptor operating characteristic curves for different umbilical artery pH levels, excess alkali, and Apgar score. We analyzed data from 29,787 deliveries. In all subgroups of the pH range (range 0.064-0.213), the statistical correlation between umbilical artery pH and a lkali overdose and Apgar score between 1 minute and 5 minutes was weak or non-existent.

Women's Experience of Their First Sexual Encounter After Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery

Image
  This qualitative study recruited women who planned to undergo POP or UI surgery and who identified themselves as sexually active. Routine consultations on restorative activities will be provided 4 to 6 weeks after the operation. Participants completed the interview 2 to 4 months after the operation. The interview is recorded, identified and transcribed.Two independent researchers coded transcripts for the main topics; differences were arbitrated by the investigation team. Use Dedoose software for analysis. Twenty patients with an average age of 52.4 years participated in the study. The majority claimed to be white (85%), a quarter had a history of hysterectomy, and 15% had undergone previous pelvic reconstruction surgery. Nineteen (95%) patients resumed sexual intercourse 2-4 months after surgery. Major themes such as external influences, conflicting emotions, uncertainty, sexual change and stability, normalization, a nd self-image have reached
