“…Untreated, it may result in complications secondary to malnutrition and dehydration. Maternal complications include electrolyte disturbance (15-28%), Wernicke's encephalopathy (secondary to thiamine deficiency) (<1%), and susceptibility to thrombus 5,6 . Mental health complications include increased rates of anxiety (46%), depression (47.8%) and suicidal ideation (6.6%) [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] .…”

BackgroundHyperemesis gravidarum (HG), if untreated, can lead to malnutrition, dehydration and Wernicke’s encephalopathy. Fetal complications include low birth weight and neurodevelopmental delay. Recent evidence supports increased rates of termination of pregnancy and suicidal ideation. Drivers included difficulty in accessing medications which thus contributed to poor perception of care.AimIdentify factors that may influence prescribers’ confidence and knowledge regarding pharmacological therapy for HG.Design & settingCross-sectional study of qualified GPs (General Practitioners) and GP trainees in Wales.MethodDistribution of a 22-item online survey. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS.Results241 responses were received with 216 included in the analysis (59% qualified GPs, 41% GP trainees). In total, 93% of respondents correctly identified cyclizine as being safe in pregnancy, but no other drug recommended in the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology guidance was considered safe by more than 58%. Those reporting higher confidence levels in managing HG were more likely to correctly report guideline recommended drugs as safe in pregnancy (P=0.04). Additional qualifications related to obstetrics and gynaecology and/or prior clinical experience increased confidence levels (P=0.0001 and P=0.0002 respectively). Only 19% of participants routinely screened for signs of mental health complications and prior experience/education did not increase likelihood of this happening. 87% of participants would like additional education/access to evidence-based resources.ConclusionThis study demonstrates a demand for improved dissemination of evidence-based education to support those working in primary care. The extent to which HG is covered in pre-existing educational programmes should also be revisited.

“…Cyst aspiration or fenestration may be an alternative to cystectomy, although rates of recurrence are increased. 4 If malignancy is suspected or the operating surgeon is unsure, frozen sections of suspicious lesions should be obtained. Gynecologic consultation should also be obtained if the surgeon is unsure or inexperienced in handling adnexal tumors.…”

Background: Pregnancy is associated with biochemical alterations and may be compounded by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection potentially affecting pregnancy outcome such as birth weight, Apgar score, and foetal viability (stillbirth or intrauterine foetal death [IUFD]). Aims: This prospective case–control study evaluated some biochemical parameters and their possible effects on pregnancy outcome in HIV-seropositive subjects. Patients, Materials and Methods: The study involved 136 HIV seropositives on highly active antiretroviral therapy and 137 HIV-seronegative pregnant women, recruited from the Antenatal Clinic of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi. Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), oestriol (E3), and progesterone were analysed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method, and the delivery outcomes were reported. Results: Progesterone was significantly higher (P = 0.002) in HIV-seropositive individuals (59.3 ± 17.84 ng/mL) compared to controls (54.89 ± 8.24 ng/mL). There were no significant differences in the levels of E3 and PAPP-A between the two groups. In HIV seronegatives, there were no significant changes in measured biochemical parameters between trimesters (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in measured biochemical parameters between subjects with IUFD and subjects with live births (P > 0.05) for both the test and control groups. Subjects with significantly lower PAPP-A in HIV seropositives had babies with higher Apgar score. The incidence of IUFD was 7.31% among HIV seropositives and 7.47% among HIV seronegatives. Conclusion: HIV infection affects some biochemical indices such as progesterone and PAPP-A but does not adversely affect pregnancy outcomes in HIV seropositives under antiretroviral therapy.
