Abstract Background The spectrum of placental adhesive disorders (PAD) forms an important cause for emergency cesarean hysterectomy, requiring accurate prenatal diagnosis optimal obstetric management. Purpose aim this study was to assess the utility magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and identify individual MRI features that are most useful in evaluation PAD. Materials Methods This a retrospectiv...

Various medication and routes administration have been reported to increase spontaneous delivery prevent manual removal placenta. Purpose the study compare outcome between misoprostol oxytocin in management retained placenta.
 
 Method: literature searching was done 4 databases (Pubmed, Eb...

OBJECTIVE To introduce the pathophysiological Tulip classification system for underlying cause and mechanism of perinatal mortality based on clinical and pathological findings for the purpose of counselling and prevention. DESIGN Descriptive. SETTING Tertiary referral teaching hospital. POPULATION Perinatally related deaths. METHODS A classification consisting of groups of cause and mec...

The intra-uterine existence of foetus is dependent on placenta, a major organ of nutrition and homeostasis.The present study was carried out to compare morphometric and histological changes in preterm and term human placentas. Eighty placentas collected from Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, JNMCH, AMU, Aligarh, were divided into group first of preterm placentas up to 36 weeks (n =30) an...

The human newborn is a reflection of the entirety of nutrients transferred from the maternal to the fetal circulation across the placenta during gestation. By extension, birth weight and newborn health depend on placental function. In this article, we quantify efficiency of the transport system in the human placenta and study its role played in the birth weight as well as the gestational age of...

Aims. To analyze the pregnancy outcomes of circumvallate placenta retrospectively and to predict circumvallate placenta during pregnancy based on its clinical features. Methods. The pregnancy outcomes of 92 women with circumvallate placenta who delivered live singletons at a tertiary care center between January 2000 and September 2012 were compared with those of 9057 controls. Results. Women wi...

PURPOSE To examine obstetric outcomes in the second birth of women who had undergone a previous cesarean delivery. METHODS This was a large hospital-based retrospective cohort study. We included pregnant women who had a previous delivery (vaginal or cesarean) attending their second birth from 2001 to 2009. Main inclusion criteria were singleton pregnancies and delivery between a gestation of ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the leading causes of perinatal deaths and to evaluate any changes, with the inclusion of placental histology. METHOD At perinatal mortality meetings, primary and final causes of death were assigned for the period 1 July 2006 - 30 June 2007. All singleton babies born to women residing in the metropolitan area serviced by Tygerberg Hospital were included in the prospecti...

Fetal growth depends in part on placental growth. The authors tested placental measures derived from digital images for reliability and to evaluate their association with birth weight and gestational age. A total of 628 women recruited into the Pregnancy, Infection, and Nutrition Study, a prospective cohort study of preterm birth in central North Carolina between 2002 and 2004, delivered single...

Parturition is composed of five separate but integrated physiological events: fetal membrane rupture, cervical dilatation, myometrial contractility, placental separation and uterine involution. Prostaglandins (PGs) have central roles in each of these, but the most studied is myometrial contraction. Elevated uterine PGs or the enhanced sensitivity of the myometrium to PGs leads to contractions a...
