Background: Chorioamniotic separation (CAS) at the time of amniocentesis is a risk factor for an elevated postprocedural complication rate after standard amniocentesis and should be excluded before amniocentesis. Objectives: The aim of this study was to quantify procedure-related risks after amniocentesis (AC) with a 29G-needle in cases of chorioamniotic separation (CAS) and evaluation of perinatal outcome in CAS after 15 weeks’ gestation (GW). Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of genetic amniocentesis with an atraumatic 29G-needle after 15 completed GW in pregnancies, in which the fetal membranes were not fused yet. Included into the study were women with at least 15 completed weeks of gestations referred for second trimester amniocentesis to identify fetal chromosomal aberrations aged 16 to 44 years. Results: 437 Amn..... ReadMore

It is Konrad Lorenz, who described the period of sensitivity necessary for the epigenetic maturation of certain biological functions. The orgasmic reflex, the foundation of the erotic function, is one of these phenomena which can only emerge during a sensitive period of childhood. It is the individual, guided by the situation his hands, and by grooming, who discovers the power of the orgasmic zones. Thus, a first infantile phase of development, autoerotic, is imposed on the use of the external genitalia. Before the access to the second, adult, heteroerotic phase. Ignoring, blaming or antagonizing this autoerotic phase is not only a general fault of civilization, mentioned here, with sometimes dramatic consequences. but also, a scientific error...... ReadMore

Endometriosis has a broad spectrum of presentation The purpose of this article is to familiarize the gynecologist with the wide spectrum of pelvic and extra pelvic endometriosis and to review the distinctive imaging findings. Its clinical diagnosis could be challenging since it is often confused with infection, abscess, hematoma, and tumors. We hereby report a series of multiple endometriosis presentations appearing during pregnancy, at episiotomy and perineum, as well as after cesarean delivery and hysterectomy. The primary modality of treatment is surgical removal of the lesions, though hormonal therapy is also applied...... ReadMore

The BRCA1 gene has been well studied for its role as a tumor suppressor by repairing double-stranded DNA via homologous recombination during cell replication. Thus, an aberrant BRCA1 gene has extensively been shown to increase the risk for breast cancer and certain ovarian cancers through years of research. However, BRCA1’s unique relationship to female fertility is not as well researched. Studies have shown that a lower ovarian primary follicle pool has been associated with BRCA1 mutations and increased infertility rates, but the molecular link has yet to be fully elucidated......

Reproductive health is a serious and mounting problem in the world, where several factors including climate changes such as global warming resulting in change in sperm quantity according to world health organization [1]. The pathogenicity of infertility is highly complex phenomenon affecting approximately 1:20 males during reproductive age due to unknown genetic and epigenetic factors [2,3]. The role of complex chromosomal rearrangement (CCRs) and high incidence of mosaicism are well known in azoospermia patients [4]. More than 20% of De novo mutations of USP9Y and PCDH11Y genes were observed in both heterozygous and homozygous conditions that encodes amino acid arginine guanine, isoleucine and leucine modulates early transcription factor such as Sox9 gene in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) cases. Similarly, Sox9 gene expression is esse..... ReadMore

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a condition in which the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina is disrupted, and overgrowth of certain bacteria occurs [1]. BV can be transmitted sexually and is considered a sexually transmitted infection; however, it can also occur in the absence of sexual contact. BV primarily affects women who are sexually active; however, it is unclear what role sexual activity plays in the development of BV. BV is the most frequently diagnosed symptomatic vaginitis in U.S. women. BV affects 29% of all women aged 14 to 49. Of women who are affected with BV, 19% are not sexually active, and 25% are pregnant. Vaginal Pain In the busy surgery, the temptation to treat without examining can be great, as the doctor may well feel safe in the assumption that common things being common it will be a case of candida [2].

I propose a new, safe, novel, and instantaneous method of abortion viz-the handheld electric zapper/catheter. At present there are two methods of abortion in existence-the surgical and the medical. I propose the electrical. Termination should come instantaneously, and this method should be equally effective for a new zygote and a nine-month-old foetus. The electric zapper could be applied externally while the electric catheter could be applied internally via the vagina. The mother could be locally anaesthetized or wide awake. She will feel little to no discomfort. Voltage will be carefully selected to that effect. We must remember that the fetus is much less resistant to electric shock than the mother. In one study for example 15 pregnant women suffered electric shocks and all but 4 lost their pregnancies. Of the 4 that survived, only one..... ReadMore

Significant bacterial ingress due to trauma, ischemia or foreign bodies with adherent microorganisms may infiltrate sites of exposed bone and engender osteomyelitis. An estimated 50% instances may occur due to unknown bacteria [1,2]. Osteomyelitis is generally detected between 2 years to 12 years although no age of disease emergence is exempt. A male predominance is exhibited with a male to female proportion of 3:1 [1,2]. Frequently the lower extremities, vertebral column, radial styloid and sacroiliac joints are incriminated. Location of infection is contingent to age of incriminated individual as altered vascularization is enunciated in diverse bone segments. Commonly, metaphysis or epiphysis in neonates, metaphyseal region in children and epiphyses or subchondral region of adult subjects are implicated in Figure 1. Distal and proximal ..... ReadMore

Recent legal changes restricting abortion in Texas have focused attention on the continuing issue of a lack of reproductive freedom for women. This affects women in many countries throughout the world including Northern Ireland. The 1967 Abortion Act, which established legal access to abortion in the rest of the United Kingdom (UK), never applied in Northern Ireland (NI). Prior to a recent change in the law, abortion was illegal in NI with the exception of very limited circumstances. The options for women were either to continue with the pregnancy, travel to services in Great Britain or to access abortion pills from the internet. The choices available to NI women have increased since the decriminalization of abortion on 22 October 2020, following the passing of the Northern Ireland (Executive Formation etc.) Act 2019. However, despite thi..... ReadMore

Immediate postpartum hemorrhage (IPPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity in developing countries, with nearly 130,000 deaths each year and 2.6 million complications worldwide [1-3]. In Senegal, according to an assessment of emergency obstetric and neonatal care carried out between July 2012 and June 2013, the maternal mortality ratio was 222.9 per 100,000 live births, and haemorrhage was a direct cause of maternal death in 44,2% (SONU survey). In our limited resources countries, particularly in Senegal, available therapeutic means are: uterotonics (oxytocin, misoprostol), conservative surgery (triple arterial ligation, uterine artery ligation, hypogastric artery ligation, B- Lynch and Cho) and hysterectomy of hemostasis. These surgical treatments are not feasible by all health providers and are not available at the ..... ReadMore

Introduction: Cervical cerclage has been advocated in cases of ‘cervical incompetence’. There is very little evidence on the material to be used for cerclage. Here we have used nylon wool over semicircular needle for cervical cerclage. Material and Methods: 30 patients were included in the study. After a written informed consent, the patient was then taken for cervical cerclage suture application. The material used was dark colored nylon wool. The primary outcome was live birth rate of the baby where as the secondary outcome parameters included period of gestation at delivery, mode of delivery, length of hospitalization of the baby, NICU if required for the baby, requirement of another cerclage in subsequent pregnancies and the timing of removal of cerclage......

Cervical cerclage has come a long way since it was first performed in 19021. It has been advocated in cases of ‘cervical incompetence’ which is a term defined by ACOG as “the inability of uterine cervix to retain a pregnancy in the second trimester in the absence of uterine contractions”2. Cochrane review has suggested the reduction in the neonatal mortality following cerclage3 [2-4]. Different terms have been used for different types of cerclages. These include1 History indicated cerclage - It is a prophylactic cerclage done in an asymptomatic woman at 12-14 weeks with history of 3 or more premature labour or mid trimester abortions. Ultrasound-indicated cerclage - On USG done between 14-24 weeks of gestation if the cervical length is less than 25 mm without any exposed fetal membranes then cerclage can be performed Rescue cercla.....

Gynecological procedures are common in women regardless of their age [1]. When compared to interventions performed in the operating room under general anesthesia, an office setting diminishes the risks of anesthesia complications and hospitalization, while minimizing recovery time, as well as the need for equipment and associated costs [2]. Insertion of intrauterine devices (IUDs) and hysteroscopies in an office setting have increased significantly in recent years [3]. These are minimally invasive and safe procedures and, thus associated with tolerable pain and discomfort [4]. Furthermore, they are regularly performed without analgesia or anesthesia, devaluing the anxiety and pain reported by women [5]. Pain experienced by women is quite often classified as “moderate” or “severe”, leading to the interruption of the gynecological p..... ReadMore
