[Prevalence of severe maternal morbidity in Tbilisi]
Abstract:
Cross-sectional study was performed in all maternity units of Tbilisi, Georgia, with delivering 18,554 women between 1 January 2004 and 1 January 2005. There were 267 cases of severe obstetric morbidity giving a prevalence of 14,2 per 1000 deliveries (95% CI 12,6-16,0). During the study there were 3 maternal deaths. Disease specific morbidities per 1000 deliveries were: severe pre - eclampsia - 5,0 (95% CI 4,1-6,2); hysterectomy during 24 hours after delivery - 4,5 (95% CI 3,6-5,6); hemorrhage - 2,3 (95% CI 1,7-3,1), sepsis 1,3 (95% CI 0,9-2,0); eclampsia - 0,74 (95% CI 0,44-1,25); uterine rupture - 0,16 (95% CI 0,05-0,47); HELLP-syndrome - 0,11 (95% CI 0,03-0,39). Severe obstetric morbidity and its relation to mortality may be more sensitive measures of pregnancy outcome than mortality alone and allows for an effective audit system of maternal care.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis V
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the progression...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...
