Dengue Fever in a Sickle Cell-Positive Pregnant Woman: A Case Report.

Cases of sickle cell disease with dengue during pregnancy have rarely been reported. Sickle cell disorder is one of the most commonly inherited genetic disorders, especially in certain regions of India. Sickle cell disease, especially in pregnancy, has varying clinical severity, which may potentially lead to serious complications, negatively affecting the maternal and fetal outcomes.

A Comprehensive Review of the Endometrial Receptivity Array in Embryo Transfer: Advancements, Applications, and Clinical Outcomes.

Embryo transfer is a pivotal procedure in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Yet, the success of this process hinges on multiple factors, with endometrial receptivity playing a critical role in determining the likelihood of successful implantation. The endometrial receptivity array (ERA) is an advanced diagnostic tool designed to personalize embryo transfer timing by assessing the endometrium's receptivity.

Challenging Surgical Management of Giant Uterine Leiomyomas With Ileal Resection: A Clinical Case Study.

Uterine fibroids, or leiomyomas, are common benign tumors of the uterus, generally asymptomatic but potentially causing severe symptoms and complications in some cases, as demonstrated in this report. This case presents significant management challenges due to the fibroids' size, number, and location, including an unusual complication involving adhesion to the ileum. A 40-year-old female with a history of P2L1D1 and no significant comorbidities presented with three months of progressive abdominal pain and a rapidly enlarging mass resembling a 30- to 32-week gravid uterus and heavy menstrual bleeding.

Postpartum Haemorrhage and Carboprost for Its Prevention: A Narrative Review.

The most frequent and harmful side effect of childbirth is obstetric haemorrhage. Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) remains the primary cause of maternal mortality worldwide. Most PPH-related deaths take place in the first 24 hours of life.

Pyometra Puzzler: Unraveling Senile Endometritis in an Unconventional Presentation.

Pyometra is a very uncommon condition in postmenopausal women that rarely improves with standard antibiotic treatments. It is usually overlooked as the patient presents with vague symptoms. Our case presented a postmenopausal woman with sepsis due to a huge pyometra.

A Comprehensive Review of the Diagnostic Landscape of Endometriosis: Assessing Tools, Uncovering Strengths, and Acknowledging Limitations.

Endometriosis is a prevalent yet often underdiagnosed condition characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to significant morbidity and impaired quality of life. A timely and accurate diagnosis of endometriosis is essential for effective management and improved patient outcomes. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current diagnostic landscape of endometriosis, including clinical evaluation, imaging modalities, biomarkers, and laparoscopy.

Complicated Pregnancy: Unveiling the Dual Challenge of Acute Cholecystitis and Choledocholithiasis.

Gallstone-related complications during pregnancy, though relatively rare, present significant challenges necessitating careful clinical management. Among these complications, the simultaneous occurrence of acute cholecystitis and choledocholithiasis poses a unique dual challenge, especially considering the physiological changes and fetal considerations associated with pregnancy. This case report presents the management of a 27-year-old pregnant woman with acute cholecystitis and choledocholithiasis at 32 weeks of gestation.

Navigating Fertility Challenges: A Comprehensive Review of Microsurgery for Fallopian Tubal Re-canalization in the Era of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

The journey of addressing fertility challenges, especially in the context of fallopian tubal issues, has witnessed remarkable advancements. This comprehensive review delves into microsurgery for fallopian tubal re-canalization within the era of in vitro fertilization (IVF). The review begins by providing the historical backdrop, tracing the evolution of this surgical technique, and highlighting the transformative impact of microsurgical methods and instrumentation on its precision and outcomes.

A Comprehensive Review of Current Trends in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Ovarian Germ Cell Tumors.

Ovarian germ cell tumors constitute a rare and intricate spectrum of neoplasms characterized by diverse histological subtypes. This comprehensive review elucidates the classification, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and unique challenges associated with these tumors. The classification is rooted in histological attributes, with principal subtypes encompassing dysgerminoma, immature teratoma, yolk sac tumor (endodermal sinus tumor), choriocarcinoma, and mixed germ cell tumors.

Torsion of a Pedunculated Subserosal Leiomyoma: A Rare Cause of Acute Abdominal Pain.

Uterine leiomyomas are benign uterine tumors arising from the smooth muscle cells of the myometrium. Most of them are asymptomatic, and rarely do they present with symptoms like infertility, abdominal distension, and acute abdomen. According to experts, the most common cause of acute abdomen is torsion of a pedunculated subserosal leiomyoma, which is an extremely rare and life-threatening surgical emergency.

Advancement of Near Infrared-II Organic Dyes in Bioimaging.

In recent decades, small organic compounds having absorption and fluorescence emission in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) bio-window have attracted a lot of interest. Fluorescence bioimaging may be used by researchers and surgeons to genomically focus an array of biological areas and functions. The near-infrared-II (NIR-II) dye which has fluorescent imaging, bypasses the visible imaging striking barrier, making it a valuable tool for cancer early detection and very sensitive tumor resection.

A Comparative Study of the Effectiveness of Transdermal Nitroglycerine Patches and Oral Nifedipine in Prolongation of Pregnancy in Women With Preterm Labour.

Backgrounds A significant contributor to newborn morbidity and mortality is preterm birth. Several techniques have been employed to identify patients at risk of premature labour. However, these predictors are not always effective because of their multifactorial aetiology.

Serum LDH Levels in Normotensive and Preeclamptic-Eclamptic Pregnant Women and Its Correlation With Fetomaternal Outcome.

Background One of the most prevalent medical issues observed during pregnancy is hypertension. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and their consequences affect around 5-10% of all pregnancies globally. Preeclampsia is caused by endothelial dysfunction, which causes widespread endothelial leakage and contributes to potentially fatal consequences, such as eclampsia, placental abruption, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), severe renal failure, pulmonary edema, and hepatocellular necrosis.

Relationship Between Subclinical Hypothyroidism and the Risk of Cardiovascular Complications.

Subclinical hypothyroidism is characterized by raised thyroid-stimulating hormone levels in the presence of normal free thyroxine levels. When free thyroxine levels are normal and subclinical hypothyroidism is present, thyroid-stimulating hormone levels are elevated. The impact of subclinical hypothyroidism on the cardiovascular system has recently garnered attention because it is known that thyroid hormones impact the heart and its vasculature.
