Comparison of Four Risk of Malignancy Indices for Preoperative Evaluation of Ovarian Masses: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background: Ovarian cancer imposes a significant health burden worldwide. Although various tumor markers are available to diagnose ovarian cancer, low-resource countries like India require a humble marker or index. The Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI) has been found to be a simple yet promising tool that can be used for this purpose.

Fetomaternal Outcomes in Women Affected With Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes: An Observational Study From a Tertiary Care Center in Eastern India.

Methodology: This prospective observational study was conducted between September 2019 and March 2021, involving 150 antenatal patients attending our outpatient department or labor room.

Microbiome Diversity in Vaginal Fluid and Sensitivity Patterns in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membrane Cases.

Introduction: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is spontaneous rupture of the fetal membranes before 37 completed weeks and before the onset of labor. PPROM occurs in 3% of all pregnancies and is responsible for approximately one-third of all preterm deliveries. It leads to increase in perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Correlation of Cutaneous Manifestations With Body Mass Index (BMI) in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Patients in a Tertiary Care Centre: An Observational Study.

Background:  Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common disorder affecting mostly reproductive age group women. It is characterized by clinical and biochemical evidence of anovulation, hyperandrogenism and a polycystic ovary in the ultrasound. The aim of the present study is to find out the prevalence of cutaneous manifestations in PCOS and the correlation of their cutaneous manifestations with body mass index (BMI).
