Does Herbal Medecine Induce Fresh Rigor Mortis and Couvelaire Uterus
نویسنده
چکیده
Couvelaire uterus or Couvelaire syndrome was much more related to coagulopathy like dysfibrinogemia or related to hyperkinesia with prolonged labor. Here we report the case that was found, during cesarean section, with couvelaire uterus and fresh intrauterine fetal death without preceding factors like hyperkinesia or predisposing factor like dysfibrinogemia but with the history of taking herbal medicine at the beginning of labor. Health care workers awareness of herbal medicine impact to the mother and fetus life is necessary to effectively discourage this habit. More deep studies should be conducted to know the pharmacology of this herbal medicine used with parturient in order to reduce maternal fetal morbidity and mortality caused by these drugs.

متن کاملAssessment of Mechanical Properties of Muscles from Multi-Parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging
We hypothesized that a relationship existed between the mechanical properties and the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters of muscles, as already demonstrated in cartilaginous tissues. The aim was to develop an indirect evaluation tool of the mechanical properties of degenerated muscles. Leg and arm muscles of adult rabbits were dissected, and tested 12 hours post mortem, in a state of r...
متن کاملRelationship between muscle growth and poultry meat quality.
For a number of years, poultry selection has concentrated on growth velocity in meat lines, producing improvements in growth that have not been without consequence for muscle structure, metabolism, and meat quality. Higher growth rates may induce morphological abnormalities, induce larger fiber diameters and a higher proportion of glycolytic fibers, and a lower proteolytic potential in the musc...
متن کاملInfluence of Temperature on Development of Rigor Mortis in Dog Hearts.
• The effects of temperature on the development of rigor mortis in cardiac muscle have never been investigated systematically. Brecher and Kissen found that pressure-volume characteristics of non-beating, submerged dog ventricles remained constant for at least 30 minutes following circulatory arrest at 35°C. Using similar methods, Griggs et al. found this period to be approximately 80 minutes a...
