Background Screening for fetal distress is a big challenge for obstetricians. Labor admission test by cardiotocography (CTG) can be utilized to differentiate between mothers, in whom continuous fetal monitoring is needed and those who can be managed by intermittent auscultation. Admission CTG is commonly used screening test which aims to identify on admission to the delivery unit the fetus at increased risk of intrapartum hypoxia. We conducted a study to evaluate the efficacy of CTG in low-and high-risk women. Methods A prospective longitudinal study was conducted on 200 low-risk and high-risk antenatal women, beyond 32-week gestation with live pregnancy in labor and admitted in labor ward.
Pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia of the fallopian tubes is an incidental histopathological finding or it causes slight enlargement of tubes. We are reporting a case where 38 years old woman reported with lump abdomen (corresponding to 28 weeks gravid uterus) and hypomenorrhea, was diagnosed as ovarian neoplasm after extensive work up that included tumor markers and CT scan. Staging laprotomy was undertaken, but intraoperatively it revealed massive enlargement of both the tubes. Frozen section and histopathological examination showed tuberculous pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia of fallopian tubes. Bilateral salpingectomy was done. We are reporting this case because of its rarity, where massive enlargement of both the tubes was due to tuberculous Pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia that mimicked ovarian neoplasm on clinical examination and on radioimaging techniques.
Spontaneous splenic hematoma occurring during pregnancy is a rare entity. It often occurs in preexisting pathology of the spleen such as thalassemia or infectious etiologies such as malaria, typhoid, dengue, or infectious mononucleosis but most commonly after a trauma. The occurrence of splenic hematoma during pregnancy without any underlying cause is rare. Here, we present such a case and the diagnostic dilemma associated with it.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
