Co-Twin Prognosis After Single Intrauterine Fetal Death at a Tertiary Care Hospital in India: A Retrospective Observational Study.

Introduction: Twin pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of perinatal morbidity. Besides, if intrauterine death of a single twin occurs, it increases the morbidity of the surviving co-twin perinatally and postnatally.

Aim:  The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of single intrauterine fetal death (SIUFD) in a twin pregnancy and fetal outcome defined in dimensions according to the complications in the surviving co-twin.

Congenital Absence of Sternum: A Surgical Technique for Successful Outcome.

Congenital absence of sternum is a rare malformation of the anterior chest wall that needs surgical correction to avoid life-threatening complications as a consequence of such defect. It results from either partial or complete failure of fusion of mesenchymal strip during in utero organogenesis. The absence of sternum entails the risk of trauma to the mediastinal structures and other life-threatening complications.

Role of Cerebroplacental Ratio in Predicting Perinatal Outcome.

Objective Doppler velocimetry provides a sensitive, non-invasive, and safe method of surveillance of fetal hemodynamics and fetomaternal circulation. Cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) is an indicator of placental function and fetal maladaptation to placental insufficiency. Cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) is becoming a significant indicator of unfavorable pregnancy outcomes, which has implications for the assessment of fetal well-being.

Primary Uterine Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma in a Postmenopausal Woman: Histopathologic and Immunohistochemical Characteristics of a Rare Case.

Background: Primary uterine alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare, indolent mesenchymal malignancy with less than 40 patients documented in the literature.

Case: We report an example of ASPS in a 61-year-old postmenopausal woman. Macroscopically, the uterus showed multiple nodular masses.

Mode of Mechanical Ventilation in a Case of Venolymphatic Malformation: Spontaneous-Saves, Positive-Precludes.

Mediastinal venolymphatic malformations (VLM) are rare tumours, with very few reported cases in the literature. Arising often from the anterior mediastinum, VLM manifests symptoms based on invaded surrounding structures. Masses from the anterior and superior mediastinum pose an anaesthetic challenge for airway and hemodynamic management.

Exploring the Role of Levonorgestrel Intrauterine System (LNG-IUS) as a Method of Emergency Contraception (EC).

Copper T 380-A (CuT380A) intrauterine device (IUD) has been an effective method of emergency contraception (EC). Levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) has not been approved by the Food and Drug Association for EC till now. There are few studies that provide data regarding the efficacy of LNG-IUS as EC.

Concurrence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in pregnancy.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an inherited X-linked disorder affecting red cell function and presenting as haemolytic anaemia or crisis in apparently normal population. Pregnancy is a special metabolic condition which may be equally affected with G6PD deficiency. Chronic anaemia of pregnancy may be complicated by haemolysis due to G6PD deficiency by triggering factors often observed in non-pregnant.

Recurrent Molar in Five Consecutive Pregnancies - A Case Report.

Recurrent molar pregnancy is very rare. In this case report, we highlight a case of a patient who experienced five recurrent molar pregnancies without an intervening normal pregnancy. A 22-year-old patient was admitted to our labour room with a fifth consecutive molar pregnancy.
