In the Western world, the diagnosis and management of Plasmodium vivax malaria in pregnant women can be challenging, and the pathogenesis of adverse outcomes for both the mother and the foetus is still poorly known. The authors describe the case of a 29-year-old Pakistani woman at the 29th week of
BACKGROUND
It has been suggested that Q fever infection in pregnancy is associated with various maternal and neonatal adverse outcomes, including intrauterine growth restriction, stillbirth, preterm delivery, intrauterine fetal death, and oligohydramnios.
METHODS
We describe the cases of two
Dengue is known as an endemic disease of tropical and subtropical regions. It was considered a disease very frequent on kids, but recently an increase was reported on adult people. Some of these cases were related to pregnant women, for that reason, we decided to check eight cases, including just
Q-fever is a zoonotic infection. Pregnant women constitute a specific risk group as the infection may cause spontaneous abortion, intrauterine death, growth retardation, oligohydramnios and premature birth. A 39 year-old veterinarian had a spontaneous abortion in pregnancy week seven. During the
OBJECTIVE
To compare the effects of prophylactic amnioinfusion to standard care plus indicated therapeutic amnioinfusion (for variable decelerations) in term patients with oligohydramnios.
METHODS
One hundred sixteen term gestations with oligohydramnios (amniotic fluid index less than 5.0 cm) were
BACKGROUND
Dengue fever (DF) is a viral hemorrhagic fever causing severe morbidity and mortality in affected patients.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of our study was to evaluate the changing trends in radiological findings in DF, to find if ultrasound is useful in the diagnosis of DF during an epidemic in
BACKGROUND
Amnioinfusion aims to relieve umbilical cord compression during labour by infusing a liquid into the uterine cavity.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this review was to assess the effects of prophylactic amnioinfusion for women in labour with oligohydramnios, but not fetal heart deceleration,
BACKGROUND
Amnioinfusion aims to relieve umbilical cord compression during labour by infusing a liquid into the uterine cavity.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this review was to assess the effects of prophylactic amnioinfusion for oligohydramnios compared with therapeutic amnioinfusion only if fetal
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to evaluate rates of success and perinatal complications of labour induction using an intracervical Foley catheter among women with a previous Caesarean delivery at a tertiary centre in Oman.
METHODS
This retrospective cohort study included 68 pregnant women with a history
Late chorionic villus sampling (placental biopsy) under ultrasound guidance was carried out in 800 (80 per cent) cases in the second trimester and 200 (20 per cent) cases in the third trimester of pregnancy. Out of 1000 placental biopsies, 250 (25 per cent) were performed because of suspicious
Amnioinfusion is a relatively recent procedure introduced among fetal medicine techniques. Its applications focus on two different methods: transcervical and transabdominal. The first procedure usually is carried out during "intrapartum amnioinfusion" to prevent or treat fetal heart rate (FHR)
An analysis of 10,159 normal spontaneous vaginal deliveries was performed to examine racial differences in mean birth weight of infants whose mothers were without antepartum or intrapartum medical complications of pregnancy. The study was limited to black and white infants of low-income mothers who
Dengue is a vector transmitted viral infection; tropical and subtropical countries see outbreaks of dengue each year. There is a paucity of literature on effects of dengue infection on pregnancy outcome and this prompted us to undertake a study for better understanding of pregnancy implications with
OBJECTIVE
To determine the effect of cardiac valve replacement on pregnancy outcome.
METHODS
We reviewed retrospectively 151 pregnancies in 88 women: 56 pregnancies in 31 women with mechanical valves and anticoagulation therapy, and 95 pregnancies in 57 women with porcine tissue valves. Student t,
BACKGROUND
Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a congenital symptom complex characterized by multiple joint contractures. AMC results from fetal akinesia due to extrinsic factors (oligohydramnios) or primary neurogenic or myopathic conditions of the fetus.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed
