Gestation

The Obstetric management of severe pre eclampsia - eclampsia at 32 to 34 weeks of gestation and beyond is always been challenging, apart from literature and standard text books which advocate individualisation of the management,certain protocols need to be discussed and be implemented, based on the assumption that only a tertiary care and multidisciplinary team can meet this challenge. The Obstetric management of severe pre eclampsia - eclampsia involves…

Interventions There are three types of surgical abortion procedures and two types of emergency medical contraception that can be used to abort a fetus. The types of surgical abortion procedures are Aspiration, Dilation/Evacuation, and Dilation/Extraction; the emergency medical contraception can be referenced as an over the counter pill, prescribed pill or T-shaped instrument. However, the method is chosen by the woman and what trimester of pregnancy is the woman in. It is recommended before any…

For many, pregnancy is a beautiful time of change, discovery, growth, anticipation, and excitement; however, it is also a time that often ushers in great life changes and can upset the normalcy of life. It is a time that is sometimes long awaited and sometimes unexpected, sometimes desired and sometimes unwanted. It is a time of uncertainly and unknowns, because the end result of pregnancy is not always as expected, and tragically, one the most common adverse pregnancy outcomes is fetal death,…

infants, and 2-3% are recognised in children by age of 5 years for a total of 4-6%. Malformations are caused by environmental and or genetic defects acting independently or in concert. Malformations have their origin during the third to eight weeks of gestation.4 The congenital malformations can involve many different systems including musculoskeletal system. In some of the studies conducted to know the incidence of congenital malformations, musculoskeletal malformations have stood first.…

not only in the developed world, but also in developing countries like India. When we deviate from the nature, artificial technologies have their own hazards, so do with multiple gestations. Multiple gestations are at higher risk of maternal complications. Walker et al 2004 [1] studied more than 44,000 multiple gestations and found that compared to singleton, risks for pre-Eclampsia, postpartum haemorrhage and maternal death increased by two fold. Moreover, chances of…

europaeus Hedgehogs are fascinating creatures! With such a small body length and only weighing a few ounces, it’s astonishing they are not categorized as rodents. What’s even weirder is that some hedgehogs eat dog food. Hedgehogs have a much shorter gestation period compared to other animals. Have you ever wondered what a hedgehog looks like? The head, body, and tail length is about 6-14 inches, and they only weigh about 14-39 ounces. The gender differences are very marginal. Males (boars) have…

Due to enriching medical information and upgrading technology, infant mortality rates in the U.S. and other developed countries have progressively decreased throughout the 20th century. Hospitals created neonatal critical care facilities for infants developed with health issues. Women start by absorbing folate nutrients to reduce the incidence of specific birth deficiencies and pediatricians’ erudite effective sleeping arrangement for newborns to impede “sudden infant death syndrome”…

The Supreme Court has recognized that “viability varies among pregnancies and that improvements in medical technology will advance earlier in gestation at the point of fetal viability.” (Pieklo) Technology is always evolving, and babies are able to survive longer and longer outside of the womb when not full-term. Late-term abortion will soon become legalized murder if the law is not changed. It…

the improvements in public health infrastructure (e.g piped water and sewer), housing, and medicine . We also find that there were other causes rather than the race that account for infant death in the period between 1970 to 1995, such as short gestation and unspecified low birth weight, newborn affected by the maternal complications of the pregnancy, respiratory distress syndrome, newborn affected by complication of the placenta, cord, and membranes. According to Marian, Dorman and Rosenberg…

Scientists have predicted that in 2050, the global polar bear population will be decreased by approximately 30%. This raises an important question, “Are polar bear’s numbers blooming, or are they endangered at this time?” Recent statistics have said that there are roughly 26,000 polar bears alive today, but what about the future, will they survive? Polar bears will eventually go extinct because they are having less litters of cubs, they are unable to adapt to any other environment, and since…
