The initial ultrasound parameters were crown-rump length (CRL), mean gestational sac diameter (MGSD), yolk sac diameter (YSD), and the sum of the differences between gestational ages and embryonic heart rate (EHR). Potential predictors for spontaneous miscarriage occurring prior to 20 weeks were evaluated.Results:Fifty-three (12.8%) patients had miscarriages and 362 (87.2%) had normal outcomes. Forty-three (81.2%) miscarriages occurred in the first trimester, 5 (9.4%) in the second trimester, and 5 (9.4%) represented fetal anomalies. EHR, CRL, and MGSD were decreased in the miscarriage group (p<0.001); YSD showed no difference (p=0.21). Gestational age by CRL and by MGSD were different between the groups (p<0.001). The proposed sum of differences was higher in the miscarriage group (p<0.001). Maternal age, indication for scan, gestational age by MGSD and CRL, heart rate, and proposed sum of differences were found to be potential predictors. Predictive ability of our proposed model was calculated sensitivity as 0.509, and specificity as 0.975 with a cut-off=0.5. The prediction model’s false positive rate is 0.025, and its false negative rate is 0.491.Conclusions:Miscarriage can be predicted via maternal characteristics and ultrasound findings. Advancing maternal age, low EHR, and high proposed sum of differences increase the probability of miscarriage.","PeriodicalId":12017,"journal":{"name":"European journal of general medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90345388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gabapentin, a structural analogue of gamma-amino butyric acid, has been used as an anticonvulsant and antinociceptive drug and is claimed to be more effective in preventing neuropathic component of acute nociceptive pain of surgery.Material and Methods:Fifty patients of ASA grade I and II were assigned to receive oral 600mg Gabapentin or Placebo 2 hours before surgery. Surgeries were conducted under spinal anesthesia. Post operatively pain was assessed by visual analogue score (VAS) at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hrs. Patients were given rescue analgesic on demand. Sedation score and total numbers of analgesics during first 24 hours postoperatively were noted.Results:Gabapentin group resulted in faster onset of motor and sensory block, significantly longer duration of analgesia, substantial reduction in post-operative pain and the rescue analgesics. Patients remained in sleeping but co- operative state and Gabapentin group were not associated with side effects when compared with placebo group.Conclusions:Preemptive use of Gabapentin 600mg orally significantly prolongs the analgesia with reducing postoperative pain and rescue analgesics in patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy under spinal anesthesia.","PeriodicalId":12017,"journal":{"name":"European journal of general medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78118861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
