The Correlation of Hysteroscopy and Histopathology in Evaluating Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Observations From a Tertiary Care Center.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is an important clinical entity, and its subtype, heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), affects 14%-25% of women of reproductive age, potentially impairing their physical, emotional, social, and material quality of life. However, in addition to prior studies that supported the efficacy of hysteroscopy in identifying AUB, this study determined the overall pattern of abnormalities in AUB and correlated the diagnosis through hysteroscopy and histopathology. Additionally, a comparison of ultrasonography was done in this study.

Navigating the Complexities: A Rare Case of Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy With Placenta Previa Manifesting With Seizures.

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a prevalent and reversible liver disorder that occurs during pregnancy. It is primarily characterized by itching, especially on the palms and soles, and elevated levels of transaminases and bile acids. Some patients may also exhibit hyperbilirubinemia.

The Prevalence of Domestic Verbal Abuse in Pregnant Women in a Semi-urban Area.

Introduction Domestic violence (DV) in the form of verbal abuse is very common among women, especially pregnant women, posing as a serious public health issue that could lead to complications in pregnancy and threaten maternal and fetal outcomes. Studies have determined that domestic verbal abuse (DVA) in pregnancy was more common in women less than 25 years of age as well as in those with low education levels. This study determined the overall prevalence of verbal abuse in pregnant women, in a semi-urban population and is unique in that the verbal abuse in pregnant women with a previous girl child was also determined.

Medical Management of Cesarean Scar Ectopic Pregnancy: A Unique Approach.

One of the rarest types of ectopic pregnancy, with an incidence of 1:1,800, is cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy. Here, we report the case of a 28-year-old woman who had undergone two previous cesarean sections. She arrived at our labor room with per vaginal spotting and abdominal pain with an ultrasound that revealed a cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy.

Rescue Cerclage by McDonald's Technique at 18 Weeks for Cervical Insufficiency With Intravaginal Amniotic Sac: A Case Report.

Recurrent pregnancy loss, premature birth, and associated complications exhibit a multifactorial etiology and persist as substantial challenges during pregnancy, despite the notable advancements in the medical field. Among several factors, cervical insufficiency or incompetence emerges as a prominent causal factor, characterized by painless softening and shortening of the cervix associated with absent contractions. The implementation of emergency cerclage represents a pivotal intervention in mitigating preterm birth among individuals with advanced cervical insufficiency.

True Knot of the Umbilical Cord and Associated Adverse Perinatal Outcomes: A Case Series.

An actual knot that forms during pregnancy is known as a true knot of the umbilical cord (TKUC) which is seen in 0.3% to 1.2% of pregnancies.

Yeast extract mediated autoinduction of lacUV5 promoter: an insight.

We report a simple and cost-effective autoinducible media component responsible for the autoinduction of proteins in Escherichia coli under lacUV5 promoter system. Yeast extract (YE) at high concentration was found to stimulate the expression of T7 RNA polymerase in BL21(DE3) cells while such an effect was not seen in BL21A1 cells. A systematic study on the effect of varying concentrations of YE indicated several folds higher expression of genes viz.
