Twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence is a rare complication of monochorionic twinning, in which the normal pump twin perfuses abnormal acardiac fashion via an artery-to-artery placental anastomosis. Mortality exceeds 50% as result preterm labor, polyhydramnios, and congestive heart failure.A pregnancy complicated by developed early hemodynamic decompensation with increasing size twin. Ablation at 23 weeks' gestation was achieved successfully injecting 1 mL absolute alcohol into...
Abstract Objectives To compare transvaginal sonography for cervical length measurement and digital examination Bishop score assessment in women undergoing labor induction at term, to assess their tolerability (in terms of pain) ability predict need Cesarean delivery. Methods A prospective study was performed on 249 admitted induction. Cervical measured using ultrasound examination. 10‐point visual analog scale (VAS) procedure‐related pain obtained. determined just before another Delivery...
Labour induction and augmentation with Prostaglandin Oxytocin are well established as standard practice worldwide. They safe when used judiciously, but may be associated maternal neonatal morbidities. Other safer alternatives have been studied including dates consumption during late pregnancy various outcomes. The aim of this randomised controlled trial was to investigate the effect date fruit on onset labour need for or labour. A total 154 nulliparous women an uncomplicated singleton were...
Objective. To compare obstetric and perinatal outcome in teenage non-teenage pregnancies. Methods. A retrospective analysis of case records pregnancies from January 2006 to December 2008. The subjects gave birth the Department Obstetrics Gynaecology, University Malaya Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a referral tertiary care teaching hospital with over 5 000 deliveries annually. Pregnancy outcomes girls aged ≤19 years were compared those women >19 years. total 177 200 older women....
The 7.5 kb cryptic plasmid of Chlamydia trachomatis has been shown to be a virulence factor in animal models, but its significance humans still remains unknown. aim this study was investigate the prevalence and potential involvement C. causing various clinical manifestations; including infertility, reproductive tract disintegrity, menstrual disorder, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) among genital trachomatis-infected patients.A total 180 female patients child bearing age (mean 30.9 years...

The cervical microbiota constitutes an important protective barrier against the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms. A disruption within milieu has been suggested to be a driving factor sexually transmitted infections. These include Chlamydia trachomatis which frequently causes serious reproductive sequelae such as infertility in women. In this study, we profiled microbial composition population 70 reproductive-age Malaysian women; among 40 (57.1%) were diagnosed with genital C. infection,...
In fetuses with single umbilical artery (SUA) the entire blood flow to placenta is transported through only one artery, resulting in a compensatory increase of arterial diameter. order establish whether vessel size could be used as an additional ultrasonographic criterion for prenatal diagnosis SUA, we measured vein and diameters 55 SUA normal three-vessel cord matched gestational age. all but fetus diameter was greater than 50% that vein, ratio ≤ 2. contrast, none had Increasing no...
Hypnosis has been shown to help pregnant women experience improved labor and postpartum periods. The present study compares the differences between experimental (n = 23) control groups 22) on specific variables measured both during 24 hr postpartum. participants in group received hypnosis intervention at weeks 16, 20, 28, 36 of pregnancy, while those only routine antenatal care. data collected stage describe length stage, pain relief used labor, method delivery, type assisted vaginal...

Diastematomyelia is a rare malformation characterized by complete or incomplete division of the spinal cord osseous fibrocartilaginous septum. Most cases are seen in association with other anomalies vertebral column such as spina bifida, kyphoscoliosis, butterfly vertebra, and hemivertebra. In this report we describe two isolated diastematomyelia detected at routine second-trimester detailed ultrasound scan, most striking feature being detection an echogenic focus posterior aspect spine...
In this report we describe two cases of fetal midline intracranial cyst presenting with ventriculomegaly at routine detailed second-trimester scan. the first case, additional findings included a banana-shaped hypoplastic cerebellum and macrocephaly; autopsy after termination pregnancy revealed glioependymal cyst. second subsequent follow-up examination progressive increase in size worsening ventriculomegaly; was performed 24 weeks confirmed an arachnoid These document interhemispheric as...
Exposure of pregnant women to environmental tobacco smoke has been shown be associated with low birth weight. Many studies have suggested that stress a role in the etiology preterm birth.This study carried out from June 2008 March 2009 find relation between smoke, and miscarriage births.A total 33 subjects consisted multiparous were their early third trimester chosen for this investigation. Subjects divided into test group adverse pregnancy outcome, control successful pregnancy. Four ml...
Summary Indirect plate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was standardized and evaluated for its effectiveness in immunodiagnosis of haemonchosis experimental clinical cases sheep by using somatic whole adult antigen H. contortus. Plate ELISA 5 µg/well concentration with 1:100 1:1000 sera conjugate dilution. able to demonstrate the antibody titre at different weeks post infection sheep. A comparison on suspected field faecal sample examination floatation method revealed that 74 samples were...
Abstract Hyperechogenic bowel has been described as a normal variant in second‐trimester fetuses, but also association with cystic fibrosis, chromosomal abnormalities, congenital infection, intestinal obstruction and intra‐amniotic bleeding. These fetuses are at risk for poor perinatal outcome, mainly due to intrauterine growth retardation. In this report we examine the potential of ultrasonographic detection isolated fetal hyperechogenic second trimester marker subsequent suboptimal growth....
To assess the relationship of ultrasound assessment for amniotic fluid, fetal weight, cervical length, funneling and clinical factors on risk Caesarean delivery after labour induction at term.On hundred fifty-two women scheduled term agreed to participate. Sonography was performed obtain biometry, fluid index length detect internal os. The sonographic findings were concealed. Study received standard care during induction.On univariate analysis using Fisher's exact test, parity, Bishop score...
