Background: Nutritional needs change throughout the various stages of life. While overall caloric needs tend to decrease with age, the requirements for individual micronutrients do not decrease. In fact, the needs for some micronutrients actually increase with age. The risk of nutritional disturbances mainly trace elements deficiencies is high during postmenopause causing or intensifying serious clinical symptoms. Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out in the Department of Biochemistry, Mymensingh Medical College in collaboration with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital during the period from July 2013 to June 2014. A total of 100 subjects were included in this study. Among them 50 apperantly healthy postmenopausal women (Case) aged between 45-60 years were considered as case and another 50 regular menstruating premenopausal women(Control) aged between 30-40 years were selected as control. Results: The mean age of cases and control groups was 50.5±2.3 years and 36.5±4.4 years respectively. In this study we found Serum Copper levels in cases and controls were 115.36±8.836 µg /dl and 90.58 ±6.315 µg/dl respectively had (p< 0.01) significant difference. Conclusion: Serum Copper level was significantly increased in postmenopausal group in comparison to premenopausal women (p< 0.01). Estimation of serum Cu level might be incorporated in every postmenopausal woman for prevention of complications. Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 10, No. 2: July 2019, P 110-113

Summary:Colouterine fistula is a extremely rare condition .It may be congenital,iatrogenic or secondary to malignancy.Here we report a congenital type of colouterine fistula with successful primary repair without hysterectomy in a nulliparous woman.Usually treatment of a parous women is hysterectomy followed by repair of rent in the colon.

Objective: To compare efficacy and safety of oral misoprostol over vaginal misoprostol for labour induction.Materials and Methods: This is a cross sectional interventional hospital based comparative study which was carried in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in DMCH from 01.07.2008 to 31.12.2008.Results: Almost equal number of patients delivered vaginally spontaneously in both group, there is no association between route of administration and mode of delivery. Nausea,vomiting occurred more in oral group and uterine hypertonicity more in vaginal group.Conclusion: In this study, 50 patients were randomly selected for oral group and 50 patients for vaginal group. There were no significant differences regarding age, duration of pregnancy, Bishop's score and indication of induction of labour.KYAMC Journal Vol. 7, No.-1, Jul 2016, Page 668-672

An increasing number of women with a morbid obesity are requiring anaesthetic care for labour anddelivery. Management of these patients presents obstetric, anesthetic, and logistical challenges. Wereport our experience in the management of elective Caesarian section of a morbidly obese (BMI 61.6kg/m2) parturient under epidural anaesthetictechnique. Despite the increased risk of morbidity andmortality, our patient had an optimal outcome. An awareness of the hemodynamic and respiratorystability during anaesthetic management, postoperative analgesia and careful thromboprophylaxiswillbenefit parturient with morbid obesity.
