A case of abdomino-thoracopagus twins with a single heart is described. The male twins were delivered in the 15th week of gestation following the parents' request to terminate the pregnancy. This case is of particular interest because of the rarity of the abdominothoracopagus twins with a single heart, in the literature.
Aim: to study the impact of increased BMI on fetal and maternal outcome.
Materials and methods: The present descriptive observational study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Nalanda Medical College and Hospital, Patna, Bihar, India over the period of 1 year. The study includes total 100 subjects who have taken antenatal care at the hospital. Descriptive statistics included computation of percentages, means and standard deviations were calculated using SPSS version 20.
Results: mean maternal age at birth was 28.11 years and mean BMI (kg/m2) was 27.12. The mean birth weight of babies was 3.12 kgsand mean NICU stay was 5.21 days. Still birth (11%) and Neonatal death (8%) were reported as the major fetal outcome. Under maternal outcome Caesarean section followed by Pre-eclampsia, PIH and GDM were reported as the major morbidities.
Conclusion: Present study confirmed that maternal obesity is now becoming one of the most common risk factors in pregnancy, leading to complications that impact on the health of both the woman and her offspring.

Aim: Diagnostic efficiency of liquid based cytology compared with conventional pap
Methods: The present analytical study entitled was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Nalanda Medical College and Hospital, Patna, Bihar, India over the period of 1 year. The study includes total 100 subjects.
Results: Mean age of the study population was 39.12 years. Majority belongs to 30-40 years of age group. Vaginal discharge was the major problem reported by the study subjects. There were statistically significant differences of satisfactory/unsatisfactory rate and Diagnostic efficacy i.e. sensitivity and specificity of LBC is greater than CPS for evaluation of cervical cytology.
Conclusions: the present study concluded that LBC may improve the sample's quality, reduce the number of unsatisfactory smear and increases the diagnostic efficacy in comparison to CPS.
