Introduction: Cesarean section (CS) is an operative technique by which a fetus is delivered through an abdominal and uterine incision and is effective in saving maternal and infant lives but caesarean section rates higher than 10% are not associated with reductions in maternal and newborn mortality rates. The objective of the study was to find out the indications for caesarean section and its fetal and maternal outcomes in a Teaching Hospital, Province Five, Nepal. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in a teaching hospital, Nepal. A total of 150 purposively selected postnatal mothers after caesarean section were interviewed by face to face technique using a structured interview schedule. Analysis and interpretation of the findings were done with the help of descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The study shows that the majority (93.3%) of mothers had undergone an emergency caesarean section and the majority (92%) had maternal indications for caesarean section. Among them, one third had a previous caesarean section followed by 14.5% obstructed labor. Fetal indications include breach (44.4%), fetal distress (29.6%), big baby (11.1) and twins and triplets (3.7%). Only (10.7%) had an unfavorable fetal outcome which includes the need for Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) (31.2%) followed by neonatal death (25%). Only three mothers (2%) had an unfavorable maternal outcome which includes Post-Partum Hemorrhage (PPH); need for blood transfusion and fever respectively. There is no statistically significant association between sociodemographic characteristics and type of caesarean section. There is a statistically significant association between the previous history of caesarean section and type of caesarean section (P= .005). Conclusions: Previous caesarean section was the most common indication for caesarean section. Unfavorable outcome after caesarean section was considerably present which needs to be addressed.

Objectives: To calculate The Evans Index )EI( in normal Individuals. Ventricular enlargement is referred to as hydrocephalus. Computer tomography )CT( scans are commonly used to investigate such intracranial pathologies. The EI is an important parameter for diagnosing hydrocephalus. Methods:We included all patients who underwent Computer tomography )CT( scan of the brain that was reported as normal. The mean EI was calculated for the whole sample stratified by age, gender, and ethnicity. Patients with an initial report indicating any intracranial pathology, such as hydrocephalus, tumors, hemorrhages, or neurodegenerative disorders, were excluded.

“…In several studies, a different approach to analyzing lateral ventricles was utilized. The authors have implemented different ratio assessments, specifically the frontal horn ratio, the bicaudate ratio, and Evan's ratio [26][27][28]. We abstained from using the frontal horn ratio in our analysis as we believe that it may be influenced by the shape and curve of the frontal horn between the anatomic planes of reference (sagittal, frontal, and horizontal).…”

The evaluation of the different parameters of the brain ventricles is used in the diagnostics of age-related degenerative diseases of the central nervous system, as well as psychiatric disorders. The purpose of this study was to obtain data about the normal morphologic parameters of the lateral ventricles of the human brain and their relations with age and sex to establish a solid background for the diagnostics of any pathologic changes. Computed tomography (CT) studies of 108 healthy individuals aged from 17 to 86 (mean age: 46.87 ± 17.31) were selected for the study. The width of the different portions of the lateral ventricles was measured, and its relations with age and gender were assessed. The study has demonstrated a statistically significant dependence of the width of the different portions of the lateral ventricles on age. There was no statistically significant difference in this parameter identified between male and female groups. The width of the different portions of the lateral ventricles of the brain increases with age. Parameters are similar in males and females.
