AI Article Synopsis
- Maternal morbidity reflects the quality of maternal health services, and reviewing maternal near miss (MNM) cases can help reduce maternal mortality in India by highlighting important factors.
- Various studies conducted in India between 2010 to 2019 identified a wide range of MNM incidence rates, with significant variations in criteria used for identification.
- Hypertensive disorders and anaemia were found to be the main causes of MNM, and future research should adopt standardized criteria to provide consistent and useful data for improving maternal health outcomes.
Article Abstract
Background & Objectives: Maternal morbidity is an indicator of the quality of a country's maternal health services. Maternal near miss (MNM) can provide valuable information in this context and hence these cases need to be reviewed which can indirectly play a major role in reducing maternal mortality ratio in India. The objectives of the present review were to find the prevalence/incidence, criteria used for identification, review the causes of MNM cases and identify the contributory factors responsible for the occurrence of these cases based on three-delay model.
Methods: Articles were identified from the PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus and Cochrane Library using search terms such as 'Maternal Near Miss','maternal morbidity', 'India' among others. All health facility-based observational studies conducted in India published between 2010 to 2019 irrespective of data collection period, and criteria used for identification of MNM cases were included for review. Data were extracted from included studies and summarized in terms of prevalence/incidence, ratio and percentage.
Results: Out of 25 studies, majority were prospective observational conducted at government health facilities. The incidence of MNM varied widely from 3.9 to 379.5 per 1000 live births and 7.6-60.4 per 1000 deliveries. MNM: Maternal Death varied from 1.7:1 to 21.8:1; studies used different criteria to define MNM cases.
Interpretation & Conclusions: Hypertensive disorders and anaemia were the leading direct and indirect causes of MNM, respectively. There was a lack of uniformity in using the criteria for MNM across studies conducted in India over the last decade. Future studies on MNM in India should follow the uniform criteria mentioned in the MNM-Review guidelines released by the Government of India in 2014 for obtaining systematic data and proper summary estimates.

Stability of electrostatically stabilized Pickering emulsion of silica particles and soy hull polysaccharides: Mechanism of pH and ionic strength.

College of Food Science and Technology, Bohai University, Jinzhou 121013, China.
To enhance the surface hydrophobicity and emulsification capacity of silica colloidal particles, a natural surface modification of soy hull polysaccharides (SHP) was conducted. Here, the effects of pH and ionic strength on the stability, microstructure and rheological properties of concentrated Pickering emulsions were investigated. Experimental results show emulsions gelled at pH 2, with increasing pH (2-10), SiO-SHP absolute zeta potential (from -19.

Mitochondria play critical roles in regulating cell fate, with dysfunction correlating with the development of multiple diseases, emphasizing the need for engineered nanomedicines that cross biological barriers. Said nanomedicines often target fluctuating mitochondrial properties and/or present inefficient/insufficient cytosolic delivery (resulting in poor overall activity), while many require complex synthetic procedures involving targeting residues (hindering clinical translation). The synthesis/characterization of polypeptide-based cell penetrating diblock copolymers of poly-L-ornithine (PLO) and polyproline (PLP) (PLO-PLP, n:m ratio 1:3) are described as mitochondria-targeting nanocarriers.

Combining polymer and surfactant in one agent namely polymeric surfactants with both high viscosity and surface activity has become a viable alternative for the traditional enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes. With the purpose of developing new polymeric surfactants, the biopolymer flooding agent sphingan WL gum was modified by octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) through the esterification reaction. The effects of molecular weight (MW) of WL and the OSA: WL ratio on the properties of the products were investigated.

Polar vortices are predominantly observed within the confined ferroelectric films and the ferroelectric/paraelectric superlattices. This raises the intriguing question of whether polar vortices can form within relaxor ferroelectric ceramics and subsequently contribute to their energy storage performances. Here, we incorporate 10 mol % CaSnO into the 0.

To address the challenge of reusing foaming agents in foam drainage gas production processes, we developed a redox-responsive surfactant with a straightforward preparation method based on molecular electrostatic interaction assembly. The redox response mechanism of the surfactant was investigated through surface tension, absorbance, particle size, and Zeta potential analyses. Results indicate that the minimum surface tension in the oxidized state can reach 26.
