Unlabelled: Anaemia is a well-known global health concern in the South Asian countries, and it is estimated that India has the utmost prevalence of anaemia and maternal deaths due to iron deficiency anaemia. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) in antenatal women with anaemia in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.
Methods: A single-arm prospective cohort (before-after) study among 60 antenatal women with moderate to severe anaemia in the second and third trimesters was conducted from December 2020 to December 2022, and the eligible women were given 1000 mg of intravenous FCM injection.
Background And Aim: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is still one of the leading preventable causes of maternal morbidity and mortality in the first trimester. Amidst the use of sensitive assays for β-HCG and high-definition ultrasonography for the identification of EP, the search for a more reliable and sensitive marker remains a challenge till date. Our aim was to determine the validity of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and its isoenzyme (CPK-MB) in the prediction of tubal EP.

- This study focuses on predicting preeclampsia in low-risk pregnancies by using uterine artery Doppler assessments during the 14-28 week gestation period.
- Out of 360 participants, 15.5% developed preeclampsia, with the best predictors being bilateral notching and a notch depth index greater than 0.14.
- The findings suggest that while certain Doppler indices may indicate susceptibility to preeclampsia, they can effectively rule out its development with a high specificity of over 90%.
