The diagnosis of multiple personality disorder (MPD) is fraught with difficulties leading to a frequent false negative diagnosis and an occassional false positive diagnosis. Proper diagnostic evaluation of a patient suspected of having MPD requires a familiarity with MPD, hypnoticphenomena, and a wide variety ofother clinical syndromes. The clinician must use collateral data from old records an...

Iatrogenic parasitic myomas are rare. The condition is defined by the presence of multiple smooth-muscle tumorous nodules in the peritoneal cavity. This may be attributable to seeding of myoma particles during uterine surgery. The clinical course is usually indolent. The disease is often asymptomatic and is usually discovered only incidentally. A 38-year-old woman who had undergone abdominal my...

Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a benign disease characterized by the presence of multiple small nodules on the omentum, parietal, and visceral peritoneum. It corresponds to leiomyoma and often resembles metastases of malignant tumors; however, with favorable prognosis. Here we describe a 46-year-old woman, diagnosed with LPD, to demonstrate the etiopathogenesis of the develope...

hyroid disease in pregnancy comprises conditions that affect both the mother and the fetus with potential important consequences for child development. 1 To inform the debate concerning the importance of thyroid disorders in pregnancy and the role of screening for thyroid function, it should be noted that the ges-tational incidence of hyperthyroidism is 0.2-0.3%, hypothyroidism 2.5% and thyroid...

While prevention of iatrogenic harm is a sufficient priority to determine service structures and practice, the concept of harm is largely restricted to the physical. Psychological harm has received scant attention despite its importance, particularly for children and adolescents. A professional climate increasingly reliant on measurement and evidence and coloured by fear of litigation contribut...

Abstract Introduction Women with a history of stillbirth have an almost five‐fold increased risk in subsequent pregnancy, as well other adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. The reasons for this association are not understood but could relate to recurrent causes. We aimed determine whether information from the time index stillbirth, including cause, is associated outcome pregnancy. Material m...

This review considers the value of single embryo transfer (SET) to prevent multiple pregnancies (MP) after IVF/ICSI. The incidence of MP (twins and higher order pregnancies) after IVF/ICSI is much higher (approximately 30%) than after natural conception (approximately 1%). Approximately half of all the neonates are multiples. The obstetric, neonatal and long-term consequences for the health of ...

Background & aim: Thecurrent population of the world is seven billion, and developing countries account for its 97%. Approximately 210 million pregnancies annually occur worldwide and 75-80 million of them are reported to be unintended. Multiple factors can contribute to unintended pregnancy, which need to be assessed to design interventions reducing the incidence of unintended pregnancies.This...
