Evaluation of Vulvar Disorders by Vulvoscopy Index and N-S-P Scheme Using Three Rings Vulvoscopy (TRIV).

Background And Objective: TRIV is a new and promising technique based on the fact that Vulva can be divided into three circular zones based on anatomy, embryology, and histology- Outer, Middle, and Inner ring. The Vulvoscopy Index and N-S-P scheme are objective tools to improve the systematization of vulvoscopy findings and to simplify information management using TRIV.

Methods: Hundred women with vulvar complaints (Cases) and 100 asymptomatic women (Controls) underwent TRIV and findings were documented as per N-S-P Scheme and Vulvoscopy Index.

Evaluation of maternal plasma platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase activity and mRNA expression in pre-eclampsia: a case control study.

Preeclampsia (PE) remains a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality all over the world. However, its aetiology and pathophysiology remain elusive. Platelet activating factor (PAF) is produced in response to oxidative stress and is a potent hypotensive agent.

Prevention of Parent to Child Transmission of HIV: Single Centre Experience of 14 years at Tertiary Care Hospital in Delhi, India.

Introduction: Prevention of Parent To Child Transmission (PPTCT) of HIV/AIDS is an integral component of AIDS control programme. PPTCT is an ongoing programme since last 15 years.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the reduction in the burden of disease in newborn and infants by prevention of parents to child transmission of HIV/AIDS.

Assessment of urinary cotinine levels in women with gynecological complaints at a tertiary care hospital: A pilot study.

Gynecological effects due to smokeless tobacco exposure are not well studied. This cross-sectional study was undertaken with the objective to evaluate the urinary cotinine levels in women of reproductive age with gynecological complaints. The study was conducted in 2015 at the outpatient clinic of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University College of Medical Sciences and Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Delhi.

Comparison of diagnostic accuracy of PCR and BACTEC with Lowenstein-Jensen culture and histopathology in the diagnosis of female genital tuberculosis in three subsets of gynaecological conditions.

The prevalence of female genital tuberculosis (FGTB) in India has been estimated to be about 19%. Despite an array of diagnostic tests being available, the goal of early diagnosis and treatment remains elusive. The present study was planned to identify better diagnostic tests for early detection of FGTB and also to compare their diagnostic accuracy with the existing standard diagnostic tests in three subsets of gynaecological conditions (infertility, menstrual abnormalities and pelvic inflammatory disease).

Role of hospital-based cancer registries: a decade of experience of cancer cervix from a tertiary care centre, India.

Background: Hospital-based registries are important tools for policy formulations and region-specific data creation, particularly in case of cervical cancer, which is preventable by an effective screening program.

Objective: To study the epidemiological characteristics and trends in cervical neoplasia in an urban population over a decade.

Materials And Methods: Data were collected from the histopathological records of patients from January 2000 to December 2009.

Autologous stem cell transplantation in refractory Asherman's syndrome: A novel cell based therapy.

Background: There is substantial evidence that adult stem cell populations exist in human endometrium, and hence it is suggested that either endogenous endometrial stem/progenitor cells can be activated or bone marrow derived stem cells can be transplanted in the uterine cavity for endometrial regeneration in Asherman's syndrome (AS).

Aims And Objectives: The objective was to evaluate the role of sub-endometrial autologous stem cell implantation in women with refractory AS in attaining menstruation and fertility.

Setting: Tertiary care referral center.

Pregnancy with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) on imatinib chemotherapy: an oncologist's nightmare and obstetrician's dilemma.

Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are among the few cancers amenable to successful treatment by targeted molecular therapy with KIT receptor inhibitors like imatinib mesylate. Increasing incidence of this tumor and its successful treatment has given rise to issues of fertility and child bearing in patients affected at young age. Although contraception advice and termination of early pregnancy have been the standard practice in patients on such therapy, an occasional patient who desires pregnancy can leave both obstetrician and oncologist perplexed.

Fallopian tube herniation: an unusual complication of surgical drain.

Background. Surgical drains have been used since time immemorial, but their use is not without complications. By presenting this case we aim to describe an uncommon complication of herniation of fallopian tube following the simple procedure of surgical drain removal.
