The aim of this study was to compare maternal and perinatal adverse outcomes between groups of placenta previa (PP) with and without previous cesarean section (CS). A prospective study was carried out from March 2008 to August 2009 at the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hera General Hospital, Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Diagnosed cases of PP with singleton pregnancy presenting with ante-partum hemorrhage (APH) in the 3rd trimester undergoing either emergency or elective CS were included. Subjects were divided into two groups, 30 with previous CS (group A) and 27 without previous CS (group B), and the risks of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes were compared. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).One mother in group A died due to disseminated intravascular coagulation. The risk of post partum hemorrhage (PPH), blood transfusion and coagulopathy was higher in group A, (OR 4.8, 95% CI 1.5-15; p=0.008; OR 4.8, 95% CI 1.5-15; p=0.008; OR 9.5, 95% CI 1.2-81.6; p=0.03, respectively). Mean length of hospital stay (days±SD) in group A was significantly longer than that in group B (5.3±3.2 vs. 3.2±1.5, 95% CI 0.8-3.2; p=0.002). A higher risk of perinatal adverse outcome was found in group A, but the difference was not significant.Risk of maternal morbidity was higher than that of perinatal morbidity in Group A.

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...
Teratogenicity01:07

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...
Development of the Oral Microbiota01:28

Development of the Oral Microbiota

The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...
Pathophysiology of Diabetes01:20

Pathophysiology of Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. The four categories of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, other specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility, suggesting a...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast, controlled...
