INTRODUCTION Anemia is common nutritional deficiency disorder in pregnant women. It important cause of morbidity and mortality among We evaluated women presenting to UCMS-TH with hemoglobin level less than 9 gm/dl reference maternal fetal outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS Total 255 moderate severe anemia at our hospital were evaluated. Demographic profile patients, outcomes RESULTS Most patients from...

Obesity during pregnancy is considered a high risk state because it is associated with many serious complications jeopardizing maternal and fetal well being. When consulted pre-conceptionaly patients should be informed about the possible complications during pregnancy associated with obesity and strongly encouraged to lose weight prior to conceiving.

Several fetal cardiac malformations have been increasingly treated before birth. Fetal cardiac intervention targets an in utero correction of simple intracardiac abnormalities that potentially progress to complex heart diseases in utero, such as fetal critical aortic stenosis that might cause to hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and HLHS with restrictive atrial septum leading to irreversib...

The study aimed to compare obstetrical complications in two parity groups, primiparity and multiparity and further determine the association of parity status with neonatal outcomes. A Retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences, Jalandhar (Punjab, India). One hundred patients delivered in the department (booked and unbook...

Placental chorioangioma is the most common benign non-trophoblastic tumor of the placenta. It is derived from primitive chorionic mesenchyme and is typically vascular accounting for approximately 1 % of all pregnancy [1]. Chorioangioma is the most common histological type of placental tumor. An increased incidence rate of chorioangioma is associated with maternal age, hypertension, diabetes, fe...

Background: The significance of meconium in amniotic fluid is a widely debated subject. Traditionally meconium has been viewed as a harbinger of impending or ongoing fetal compromise; however some investigators believe that it is not associated with fetal hypoxia, acidosis or fetal distress. Others have found lower Apgar scores in meconium stained neonates. Objectives: To study the correlation ...

Background & aim: The caesarean rate is on the rise in Cameroon; nonetheless, there is a paucity of data regarding its associated risk factors and outcomes.  This study aimed to determine the associated risk factors, as well as maternal and fetal outcomes of caesarean delivery in four hospitals in Cameroon. Methods:</str...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the importance of assessment of fetal cardiac output (CO) for the prediction of complications of pregnancy. METHODS We evaluated 65 fetuses and all of them had a fetal cardiac scan at 20 to 24 weeks of pregnancy. To measure CO, diameters (d) of the left right ventricle outflow tract were measured just above the valves. Each left CO (LCO) and right CO (RCO) was derived us...
