Perinatal palliative care in low- and middle-income countries: a scoping review.

Background: 2.4 million neonatal deaths and 2.6 million stillbirths occur each year.

Fetal rotation examined with ultrasound in a sub-Saharan population: A longitudinal cohort study.

Introduction: Occiput posterior (OP) position rates at birth are 5%-8% in studies mainly comprising white European women. The anthropoid pelvis is common in black African women. This pelvic shape has a narrow anterior segment and an ample room posteriorly.

Uterine leiomyoma in a 16-year-old young adolescent from Northen Tanzania: A rare case report and review of current literature.

Introduction And Importance: Uterine leiomyomas, or fibroids, are benign mesenchymal tumors, which represent the most common tumors of the female genital tract. Their occurrence in pediatric and adolescent populations is uncommon, and relatively few cases have been documented in the literature, particularly in lower-resourced settings. This case highlights the importance of recognizing that although uncommon, fibroids can occur in much younger populations.

Perinatal loss in Tanzania: Perspectives of maternal-child healthcare providers.

Over 98% of stillbirths and neonatal deaths occur in Low- and Middle-Income Countries, such as Tanzania. Despite the profound burden of perinatal loss in these regions, access to facility or community-based palliative and psychosocial care is poor and understudied. In this study we explore perinatal loss through the lens of front-line healthcare providers, to better understand the knowledge and beliefs that guide their engagement with bereaved families.

Unusual case of broad ligament leiomyoma: A diagnostic and surgical challenge.

Extra-uterine leiomyoma (EUL) is extremely rare and due to its unusual location, results into diagnostic dilemma and due to its unusual location may lead to surgical complication as in this case. We present a case of large broad ligament leiomyoma in a 40-year-old premenauposal that was excised with challenges.

Association between first birth caesarean delivery and adverse maternal-perinatal outcomes in the second pregnancy: a registry-based study in Northern Tanzania.

Background: Caesarean delivery (CD) is the commonest obstetric surgery and surgical intervention to save lives of the mother and/or the new-borns. Despite been accepted as safe procedure, caesarean delivery has an increased risk of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. The rising rate of caesarean delivery has been a major public health concern worldwide and the consequences that come along with it urgently need to be assessed, especially in resource limited settings.
