    Review of pregnancy and labour in 1005 grand multiparas who delivered during the 6-year period 1968 to 1973 disclosed an increase in frequency of many of the complications of pregnancy, particularly antepartum hemorrhage, hypertensive disorders and malpresentations. Almost one quarter of the patients received little or no antenatal care. The incidence of low birth-weight and stillbirth was significantly higher in the infants of the patients who had received no antenatal care. Comparison with the total hospital population showed that the perinatal mortality was almost doubled and the maternal mortality was increased 10-fold. The findings suggest that in modern obstetric practice the grand multipara continues to be a high-risk patient from both a maternal and fetal standpoint and that this has important clinical implications.

    Mitral Valve Prolapse III: Nursing Management

    The nursing management of Mitral Valve Prolapse, or MVP, centers around patient education, symptom monitoring, and lifestyle modifications.Patient Education on MVP Diagnosis and Heredity: Nurses should provide comprehensive education about MVP, a condition where the mitral valve does not close appropriately during heartbeats. This education often includes the condition's pathophysiology, symptoms, and potential complications, like arrhythmias or mitral regurgitation. Though not fully...

    Teratogenicity

    The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

    Infertility in Females

    Female infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse and affects about 10–15% of couples worldwide. The primary cause of female infertility is ovulatory disorders, which hinder the release of eggs. These disorders can be classified as hypothalamic amenorrhea, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian failure, and hyperprolactinemic anovulation disorders.

    Mitral Valve Prolapse II: Assessment and Management

    IntroductionA range of clinical features characterizes Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP), but it is important to note that many individuals with MVP are asymptomatic and may remain so throughout their lives. For those who do exhibit symptoms, the following are the key clinical features:Palpitations: This is a common symptom where individuals feel an irregular or rapid heartbeat. Palpitations in MVP are often due to arrhythmias such as premature ventricular contractions or supraventricular tachycardia.
