Background: Direct obstetric causes of maternal mortality account for approximately 86% of all global maternal deaths. In Nepal, 12% of all deaths of women of reproductive age are due to preventable obstetric complications in significant part due to the limited distribution and skill level of human resources.
Objectives: To address this, the Advanced Skilled Birth Attendant (ASBA) task-shifting initiative was developed to train medical officers to perform Cesarean sections (CSs) and manage obstetric emergencies in Nepal.

Background: The basal luteinizing hormone (LH) and the prior LH to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio (LH/FSH) in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are generally higher than those in non-PCOS patients and the general population. The potential negative effects of elevated LH on human reproductive function are highly controversial, as are the effects of down-regulation of LH on reproductive function. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the basal LH/FSH ratio on the live birth rate of PCOS patients undergoing fertilization (IVF) cycles.

In the last decade or so obstetric care has evolved and become more complex. This can be attributed to a combination of factors including rising obesity rates, maternal age and medical treatment advances. Clinicians are caring for more pregnant women with chronic medical disease in addition to any de novo presentations which may occur, emphasising the need for the general medicine body to feel confident and skilled in the management of medical problems before, during and after pregnancy.

This study investigates the immunopathological responses to Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) heat shock protein (Ct-Hsp) and their association with infertility. The objective was to explore the prevalence of anti-Ct antibodies and the gyneco-epidemiological risk factors for infertility among women attending a fertility clinic in Zaria, Nigeria, and to analyze the host immune cytokine or Ct-antigen levels in Ct-positive samples for correlation. From December 2022 to January 2024, 215 women (109 infertile and 106 fertile) from Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital participated in this study.

Despite evidence that cesarean section rates above 10 percent at the population level do not reduce maternal or neonatal mortality, global rates continue to rise and are projected to reach 30 percent by 2030. The factors behind this increase are complex and vary across contexts, emphasizing the need for a local understanding in order to design and implement effective interventions to curb overuse. In contrast to many other high-income countries, Nordic countries exemplify how robust obstetric practices, midwifery led care and evidence-based guidelines can achieve excellent outcomes while maintaining low cesarean section rates.

Background: Anthropometric measures such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) are associated with elevated blood pressure and hypertension in adolescents. We aimed to assess these anthropometric measures (BMI, WC, and WHtR) and examine their association with hypertension in adolescents.
Methods: Adolescents' BMI, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), WC, body roundness index (BRI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), WHtR, and a body shape index(ABSI) values were measured and calculated.
