Ferric carboxymaltose: A game changer in the management of iron deficiency anaemia in pregnancy.

Unlabelled: Anaemia is a well-known global health concern in the South Asian countries, and it is estimated that India has the utmost prevalence of anaemia and maternal deaths due to iron deficiency anaemia. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) in antenatal women with anaemia in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

Methods: A single-arm prospective cohort (before-after) study among 60 antenatal women with moderate to severe anaemia in the second and third trimesters was conducted from December 2020 to December 2022, and the eligible women were given 1000 mg of intravenous FCM injection.

Comparison of the efficacy of intravenous labetalol versus oral nifedipine in patients with severe pregnancy-induced hypertension beyond 30 weeks of gestation.

Unlabelled: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy affect 5% to 10% of all pregnancies globally. The aim of treatment is to bring down blood pressure (BP) quickly and smoothly, which is safe for the mother and baby. The aim of our study was to study the efficacy and safety of intravenous labetalol and oral nifedipine in severe pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Role of creatine phosphokinase as a diagnostic marker in tubal ectopic pregnancy.

Background And Aim: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is still one of the leading preventable causes of maternal morbidity and mortality in the first trimester. Amidst the use of sensitive assays for β-HCG and high-definition ultrasonography for the identification of EP, the search for a more reliable and sensitive marker remains a challenge till date. Our aim was to determine the validity of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and its isoenzyme (CPK-MB) in the prediction of tubal EP.

Ebstein Anomaly with Pregnancy: A Rare Case.

Background: Ebstein anomaly is an uncommon, complex congenital malformation of the heart with prevalence of 0.3-0.5%.

Diagnostic Hysterolaparoscopy for Evaluation of Infertility: Our Experience in a Tertiary Care Hospital.

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the role of diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy (DHL) for evaluation of infertility in a tertiary care hospital.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study was conducted from July 2014 to June 2016.

Results: Out of 151 patients, 58.

Palliative Surgical Approach in Advanced Nonresponsive Mucinous Ovarian Cancer: A Rare Case Report.

Advanced mucinous ovarian cancer is a separate entity and has different biological behaviour. There is a wide range of therapeutic challenges and dilemmas in the management of these patients. The authors present a case of advanced ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma with pseudomyxoma peritonei who had poor response to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Takayasu Arteritis with Bilateral Renal Artery Stenosis and Left Subclavian Artery Stenosis in Pregnancy.

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare, systemic, chronic inflammatory, progressive, idiopathic disease of aorta and its main branches. It causes narrowing, occlusion and aneurysm of arteries. It affects mainly young females in about 80-90% of cases (young female arteritis).

Steroid cell tumor: A rare virilizing ovarian tumor.

Steroid cell tumors of the ovary account for less than 0.1% of all ovarian tumors. These tumors may present at any age with presentations related to the hormonal activity and virilizing properties of tumor.

Guillain-Barré syndrome complicating pregnancy and correlation with maternal and fetal outcome in North Eastern India: A retrospective study.

Background: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is rare in pregnancy with an estimated incidence between 1.2 and 1.9 cases per 100,000 people annually, and it is generally accepted that it carries a high maternal risk.

Role of Combination OF Mifepristone and Misoprostol Verses Misoprostol alone in Induction of Labour in Late Intrauterin Fetal Death: A Prospective Study.

Objective: To compare efficacy, safety and tolerance of combination of mifepristone and misoprostol versus misoprostol-only in induction of late intrauterine fetal death (IUFD).

Materials And Methods: This prospective study included a consecutive series of 52 women gravid up to fourth with IUFD after 28 weeks of gestation between January 2008 and June 2011. Women were divided into two groups.

The Concepts and Consequences of Early Ovarian Ageing: A Caveat to Women's Health.

Apparent rise in the incidence of infertility in females and the trend shifting towards delayed child bearing brought up the concept of ovarian ageing. Women in their early thirties show poor ovarian reserve which is an entity named as early ovarian ageing. Early ovarian ageing is mostly genetically determined, but acquired modifiable factors like smoking, or ovarian surgery have some roles.

A case of unilateral dysmenorrhea.

Unilateral dysmenorrhea in an adolescent may be associated with uterine malformation. Relevant investigations in suspected cases and timely intervention can prevent future complications in such cases. Here, we present a case of unicornuate uterus with rudimentary horn in an adolescent complaining of unilateral dysmenorrhea.

Hyperprolactinemia with normal serum prolactin: Its clinical significance.

Amenorrhea and infertility with an added feature of galactorrhea makes a provisional diagnosis of hyperprolactinemia. But again, normal serum prolactin with all clinical features of hyperprolactinemia might question the diagnosis and further management. The answer lies in the heterogeneity of the peptide hormone - the immunoactive and the bioactive forms.

Case report of a primary ovarian pregnancy in a primigravida.

Primary ovarian pregnancy occurs quite rarely and that too usually in young highly fertile multiparous women using intra uterine device. We present a case where a young primigravida presented with abdominal pain and was diagnosed as ectopic pregnancy and was confirmed intra-operatively and histopathologically as primary ovarian pregnancy, managed with partial ovariectomy.
