A prospective study of a new prediction model of vaginal birth after cesarean section at a tertiary care centre.

Objective: To create a new and simple model for predicting the likelihood of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) section using variables available at the time of admission.

Materials And Methods: A prospective observational study was performed at a tertiary care centre in Haryana over a period of 12 months (January 2018 - December 2018) in pregnant women attending the labour room with one previous cesarean section fulfilling the criteria for undergoing trial of labour after cesarean (TOLAC). The sample size was 150.

Obstetric outcome of induction of labor using prostaglandin gel in patients with previous one cesarean section.

Objective: After globally acceptance of planned vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC), the mode of induction is still a matter of debate and requires further discussion. We aimed to study obstetric outcomes in post-cesarean patients undergoing induction of labor with prostaglandin gel compared with patients who developed spontaneous labor pains.

Methods: All patients at 34 weeks or more of gestation with previous one cesarean section eligible for trial of labor after cesarean section admitted in a labor room within one year were divided in 2 groups.

Ileosigmoid knotting: a rare case report with review of literature†.

Ileosigmoid knotting (ISK) is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in which loops of ileum and sigmoid colon wrap around each other. It is very uncommon in western world when compared with the African and Asian region. It is rapidly a progressive, fatal disease.

Assessment of maternal vascular stiffness indices in three trimesters of normal pregnancy.

Normal pregnancy is associated with intense alterations in the maternal cardiovascular system. The aim of the present study was, to assess the influence of normal pregnancy on maternal central aortic pressures, arterial stiffness, and arterial wave reflection using non-invasive PC based cardiovascular risk analysis system (Periscope). The current study was conducted on 137 women with, normotensive, healthy, singleton pregnancies at first trimester (n = 42), second trimester (n = 48), third trimester (n = 47) of pregnancy and 35 age matched non-pregnant controls.
