Background: Laparoscopic surgery is important for gynaecological practice and became the method of choice for many gynaecological procedures having advantages over open surgery.
Objectives: To report our modified teaching methods, and evaluation of the gynaecological laparoscopy courses in United Arab Emirates.
Methods: Fifty five participants attended four 3-full day comprehensive hands-on gynaecological laparoscopic skills courses.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines severe acute maternal morbidity (SAMM) in Abu Dhabi, a rapidly developing multiethnic region, to assess maternal care quality and its relationship with ethnicity.
- Over six years, researchers analyzed 122,705 births and identified 926 cases of SAMM, resulting in a ratio of 7.5 cases per 1,000 deliveries, with hypertensive disorders and hemorrhage as the leading causes.
- The findings highlight distinct ethnic differences in maternal health issues, revealing that preeclampsia is more prevalent in women from the Indian subcontinent while hemorrhage is more common among UAE women, indicating complex interactions between ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and health outcomes. *
Objective: To report the management of 2 cases of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) bilaterally complicated by rupture and late subsequent torsion.
Design: Two case reports.
Setting: Obstetrics and Gynecology department of a hospital.
Aim: Routine confidential enquiry into maternal deaths is not yet part of the United Arab Emirates health care system. A confidential enquiry into maternal deaths was undertaken to test the feasibility of this approach and to identify the causes and preventability of maternal deaths.
Material & Methods: Data on all maternal deaths over a six year period from 1998 to 2003 were abstracted and reviewed by a panel of experts to assign the cause if in doubt, and to determine whether the deaths were preventable.
Background: United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a young country with a population of 3 million, an abundant oil wealth, and a high standard of living. There is no organized cervical screening program, but the authorities are planning to introduce one soon.
Objective: To study the availability and quality of colposcopy services.
Objective: To gather epidemiologic data on cervical abnormalities and make recommendations pertaining to a national cervical screening policy in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Study Design: A cross-sectional survey of patients and physicians in the UAE with regard to cervical cytology was carried out. Knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of a group of female primary care physicians on cervical cytology were assessed by a self-administered questionnaire.
Article Synopsis
- Chlamydia infection is often asymptomatic in women, potentially leading to serious health issues like infertility and complications during pregnancy, as well as a possible link to cervical cancer.
- A cross-sectional study in the UAE tested married women for Chlamydia as part of a cervical screening project, excluding unmarried women due to cultural concerns.
- The study found a 2.6% prevalence of Chlamydia among 919 participants, with slightly higher rates in secondary care, highlighting the limited data on Chlamydia in the Middle East compared to Western studies that include younger, high-risk populations.
Uterus didelphys and unilateral lower limb amelia were diagnosed in a discordant identical twin. The discordant occurrence of these anomalies in monozygotic twins suggests a possible coincidence.
