Safety and Efficacy of Intravenous Ferric Carboxy Maltose in Iron Deficiency Anaemia During Post-partum Period.

Background: Iron deficiency is the commonest treatable cause of postpartum anaemia. Parenteral iron therapy results in faster and higher replenishment of iron stores and correction of haemoglobin levels with better compliance. Ferric Carboxy Maltose is an effective and a safe option which can be administered intravenously in single total correction dose without any serious adverse effects.

Study Design: This is a hospital-based prospective study.

Patients: Five hundred and two (502) patients underwent diagnostic laparoscopy for evaluation of cause for infertility.

Pregnancy Outcome in Patients with Solitary Kidney.

Background: Solitary kidney may be congenital or as a result of nephrectomy. There is a lot of literature available on quality of life in these patients, but there is limited data on pregnancy outcome.

Objectives: To study pregnancy outcome in patients with solitary kidney either congenital or due to nephrectomy.

Salpingoscopy: An Adjuvant to Laparoscopy in Evaluation of Infertile Women.

Objective: To evaluate salpingoscopic tubal mucosal grading and to find out correlation between laparoscopic external tubal appearance and salpingoscopic mucosal appearance.

Design: Prospective observational study.

Intervention: Salpingoscopy and laparoscopy.

Female sexual dysfunction in patients with endometriosis: Indian scenario.

Background: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in Indian women is often overlooked due to cultural beliefs and considered as social taboos. Sexuality is an important and integral part of life. There are many causes of sexual dysfunction, but the prevalence of FSD in endometriotic patients is still underdiagnosed.

Successful Pregnancy Outcome in an Operated Case of Lipomeningomyocele: A Rare Case.

Lipomeningomyocele is one of the types of occult spinal dysraphism associated with tethered cord syndrome, which is characterised by neurodeficit symptomatology due to stretch- induced functional disorder of the spinal cord with its caudal part attached by an in elastic tissue. There is stretching of conus medullaris and nerve roots due to disproportionate growth between vertebral column and spinal cord, resulting in various neurological deficits. Its incidence is approximately 1 in 4000 births in the USA, with a slightly higher female preponderance, although its true incidence is not known.

Endometrial and Subendometrial Vascularity by Three-Dimensional (3D) Power Doppler and Its Correlation with Pregnancy Outcome in Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) Cycles.

Purpose Of The Study: To study the role of endometrial and subendometrial blood flow measured by 3D power Doppler as predictors of pregnancy in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles.

Methods: A hospital-based prospective study of two hundred and twenty-one (221) women undergoing FET cycles with a triple-line endometrium ≥7 mm on day 14 endometrial and subendometrial blood flow was assessed using 3D power Doppler, and various indices endometrial volume, subendometrial volume and their vascularisation index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascularisation flow index (VFI) were obtained and compared between the pregnant and the non-pregnant group. Primary outcome was clinical pregnancy.

Effects of Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (GCSF) on Persistent Thin Endometrium in Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) Cycles.

Objective: To predict the effectiveness of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) in the treatment of persistent thin endometrium resistant to other treatments in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles.

Study Design: This is a hospital-based prospective study.

Patients: Thirty-five women with persistent thin endometrium (<7 mm) resistant to standard treatments were involved in this study.

An Overview on Fertility Outcome in Renal Transplant Recipients.

Background: The number of patients undergoing renal transplant are increasing with time. Most of these patients fall in the reproductive age group, who are going to conceive sooner or later. But there are few recipients who either are infertile before transplant or became infertile due to underlying renal pathology responsible for transplantation.

Nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia misdiagnosed as Turner syndrome.

We present a patient with nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCAH) misdiagnosed as mosaic Turner syndrome. She presented with complaints of primary infertility. Short stature, the presence of facial hair and hoarse voice was also noted.

Successful Term Pregnancy in a Second Trimester Female with Urosepsis: A Case Report.

Urolithiasis means calculus in urinary system. It is a rare condition in pregnancy which can have devastating results for the mother in the form of pyonephrosis and septicaemia and to the foetus in the form of IUGR and prematurity. This is a rare case report of a 27-year old female patient who presented with perinephric abscess and hydronephrosis at 22 weeks of pregnancy.

Prevalence; Characteristics and Management of Endometriosis Amongst Infertile Women: A One Year Retrospective Study.

Background: Endometriosis appears to affect every aspect of a women's reproductive system resulting in infertility and spontaneous pregnancy loss. This study aims to find out the prevalence & clinical characteristics of endometriosis amongst infertile women.

Settings And Design: A Hospital based retrospective study over a period of one year.

Acute renal failure in pregnancy: our experience.

Acute renal failure (ARF) is a serious medical complication during pregnancy, and, in the post-partum period, is associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality as well as fetal loss. The objective of our study is to find the etiology and maternal outcome of ARF during pregnancy. The study was conducted at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Institute of Kidney Disease and Research Center, Ahmedabad, India from January 2009 to January 2011.

Oral contraceptive pills: A risk factor for retinal vascular occlusion in in-vitro fertilization patients.

Retinal vascular occlusion is the most common cause of retinopathy leading to severe visual loss in all age groups. Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is usually seen in older age group and is often associated with systemic vascular diseases. Although the exact cause and effect relationship has not been proven, central retinal vein occlusion has been associated with various systemic pathological conditions, hence a direct review of systems toward the various systemic and local factors predisposing the central retinal vein occlusion is advocated.
