A rupture of one uterine horn at the region of small curvature and placentation was observed in a pregnant 8-year old Schnauzer bitch carrying a single foetus. It occurred at its second parturition. The first whelping at the age of 3 years had been without complications and the bitch reared eleven puppies. The uterine rupture occurred at the puppy’s umbilical cord. An urgent obstetrical examina...

Cord blood is the blood that remains in the umbilical cord and placenta following birth, which is usually discarded It contains red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma, like blood. In addition, cord blood is a rich source of stem cells that may have potentially lifesaving benefits for your baby and family. The cord blood of baby serves as an abundant source of stem cells. Thes...

Umbilical cord nonseverance (UCNS) is the practice of leaving umbilical attached to placenta after delivery. Limited case reports exist revealing adverse outcomes UCNS. We report a neonatal omphalitis associated with Escherichia coli bacteremia and urinary tract infection

Introduction: Iron plays an important role in myelination. Ferritin is a reliable indicator of the tissue iron store and umbilical cord ferritin level reflects the in utero iron stores. Objective is to study the effect of the umbilical cord ferritin level on the ABR recording in the newborn.   Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in a ...

conclusion we suggest the standard cefazolin prophylaxis (after cord clamping) for elective cesarean section and cefazolin before incision for non elective cesarean section. therefore, administration of prophylactic cefazolin prior to incision will not increase the rate of neonatal sepsis. compared between these groups. results two groups were demographically identical. rate of iv line need (rr...

Umbilical cord knot (UCK) affects around 1% of pregnancies and tightening of UCK is a very rare and highly unpredictable complication of pregnancy that can lead to fetal demise or neonatal death. The majority of authors agree that very little could be done to prevent fetal deaths in pregnancies with undiagnosed tight UCK. We herein report the case of a 39-year-old, gravidity five, parity three,...

Although erythropoietin plays a significant role in human metabolism, relatively little attention has been devoted in scientific literature to its role and mechanisms regulating its secretion in pregnancy. The authors of this article discussed the following issues: - construction, biological role and regulation of erythropoietin secretion, - its extra-hematologic effect, - erythropoietin concen...

Background: Antenatal steroid therapy recently has been considered for term and late preterm neonates delivered by Cesarean section (CS), with the aim of preventing adverse respiratory morbidity. The main aim of this study was to investigate the metabolic effects of antenatal dexamethasone on blood glucose (BG), homeostasis, and serum C-peptide level when administered to term fetuses.
