On the subject, the demographic, epidemiological and statistical literature has accustomed us to a reading model based on observation and analysis at the micro-individual scale. The unit of analysis is the individual. This classic model of analysis, based on sociodemographic variables, has some effectiveness / relevance, but is still limited. It appears partial and static. In contrast to this individualistic and fixed approach, we propose a dynamic and community-based observation scale that induces the concept of \"reproductive transition\". The reproductive transition is defined as the transition from a high-risk situation in a community to a lower-risk situation over a sustainable period in reproductive health. Indeed, the operational approach leads us to four types of expected results that are four possible trends of sociological evolution of this reproductive health. These expected results are: The transition started; the problems are decreasing. The stationary situation; there is neither growth nor decay. The transition is mixed; some problems are growing, others are decreasing. The alarming situation; all problems have an ascending pace. \"Reproductive transition\" thus appears as an innovative model for reading reproductive health problems. Its scale of observation is the community and not the individual. It thus constitutes a relevant health surveillance support for communities where maternal, neonatal and infant morbidity and mortality appear to be endemic.","PeriodicalId":12828,"journal":{"name":"Gynecology & reproductive health","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85322164","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}

Audit of indications and factors affecting infant and maternal outcome remain an important activity in rationalizing the use of this major procedure in obstetrics practice. Cesarean section (CS) carries a higher maternal morbidity and mortality compared to vaginal delivery. No researches have been done on this area. Objective: To determine the leading indications for ECS and their associated maternal and neonatal outcomes in St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC). Methodology: Retrospective facility-based study was used and data was collected by reviewing the log book of patients who underwent CS operations at St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC) gynecology obstetric department from 1st February to 30th May 2017. The leading indications for Emergency Cesarean Section (ECS) were determined in terms of frequency and percentage. Clinical outcomes of the mothers and the delivered newborns were gauged by morbidity, mortality and survival rates (i.e. within the hospital confinement). Results: A total of 2345, deliveries were conducted, of which 582 deliveries were by cesarean section procedures making the institutional cesarean section rate of 24.8%. Records of patients who underwent Emergency Cesarean section (ECS) were retrieved and comprised the study population (N=522). Perinatal Asphyxia (PNA) was the most common cause of the neonatal death 6 (42.9%). Dystocia (26.4%) emerged as the leading indication for ECS followed by Non reassurance fetal heart rate pattern (NRFHRP) (18.8%). an association between indications of EC/S, Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration (APGAR) scores at 5th minute and fetal outcome with p value of <0.05 was observed. Conclusions: The institutional cesarean section rate is 25%, Maternal outcome was favorable with 94.8% of smooth post operation course and Surgical site wound infection was 63.0% among post operation complications that mothers developed.

This disappointment raises the restrictions of the biomedical sciences in conceptive wellbeing. In this field of wellbeing, thereis certainly a real existence quality issue. This worry is shared by socio-humanities. Actually, how might we clarify and comprehend the advancement of conceptive medical issues in moms and youngsters? All the work did rotates around the issue of \"obstetric culture and conceptive wellbeing\". As it were, how might we clarify and comprehend obstetric culture as a significant determinant in the improvement of regenerative wellbeing in Côte d'Ivoire?

There are few instances when exercise is contraindicated but even in most cases, the benefits outweigh the risks. It is important to study the level of awareness, perception and the practice of exercise in pregnancy which will form the reference point for policy formulation to address the identifiable areas of need. Aims and Objectives: To determine the perception and practice of exercise in pregnancy by women during an antenatal care outreach programme in Anambra state south-east Nigeria. Methodology: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study of 115 pregnant women who attended antenatal care outreach programme in two locations in Anambra state, south-east Nigeria. The data obtained was analysed using SPSS version 20.0. Results: A little fewer than half of the respondents 52 (45.2%) were of age 26-30 years, while the predominant 79 (58.7%) gestational age group was ˂ 28 weeks and most parity79 (68.7%) was 1-4. Over half of the respondents 68 (59.1%) belonged to the social class 3 and nearly half of the respondents were traders 56 (48.7%). As high as 100 (87%) had heard about exercise in pregnancy while 80 (69.6%) had engaged in exercise while pregnant. Majority of the respondents 73 (63.5%) had engaged in walking as a form of exercise, while 21 (18.3%), 7 (6.1%), 4 (3.5%), 1 (0.9%), 1 (0.9%) had engaged in dancing, jogging, skipping, swimming and jumping respectively. Forty-two (36.5%) had engaged in exercise before 28 weeks of gestation while 18 (15.7%) and 2 (1.7%) did so at 28-36 weeks and 37-42 weeks respectively. The commonest exercise amongst the various social classes was walking, followed at a distance by dancing, jogging, skipping, jumping and swimming respectively. The most perceived benefits of exercise in pregnancy by the participants are as a necessity to life 105 (91.3%) and enhancement of labour/delivery 92 (80%) while 10 (8.7%) had the misconception that pregnant women should not engage in exercise. Conclusion: Although majority of the antenatal women in the population studied engage in exercise, this is oftentimes restricted to “walking”. In addition, a number of the respondents had negative perception as to the value of exercise in pregnancy. There is an urgent need to educate the women during the pre-conception and early pregnancy periods to initiate, sustain, modify and expand the range of exercises undertaken while pregnant. This will go a long way to avail the women and their unborn babies the potential benefits associated with attaining the recommended level of exercise in pregnancy.","PeriodicalId":12828,"journal":{"name":"Gynecology & reproductive health","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80545989","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}

The use of ultrasounds in conjunction with IOTA's guidelines is crucial in order to stratify the risk and help the physician to determine the management. The very recent ADNEX model, developed by IOTA's group, opens up some interesting possibilities in this scenario.

Many patients with genital Lichen Sclerosus report unsuccessful results with standard treatment options including steroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and/or hormone therapy. These patients presented to our clinic seeking autologous adipose-derived stem cell treatment (AASCT). Methods: Data was collected through questionnaires regarding disease symptoms on a daily basis and quality of life indicators. Questionnaires were completed by patients before and three months post AASCT. One hundred and eleven consecutive women who presented to our clinic from 2011 to 2015 with symptomatic, clinically apparent or biopsy proven genital Lichen Sclerosus were given the questionnaires and 100 of these patients completed both questionnaires. Results: The questionnaires were statistically analyzed to compare improvement in symptoms before and three months after AASCT. The improvement in every symptom was statistically significant (P<0.001). These symptoms included: itching, burning, pain, discomfort, blisters, ulcers, fusing, tearing, and fissures. Improvement in ability to carry out daily activities (such as voiding, bowel movements, exercising, intercourse, and wearing pants/ underwear) also showed substantial improvement that was statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion: Given the results, we can confidently say that AASCT is a promising new alternative treatment for patients suffering from Lichen Sclerosus. Additional AASCT may provide patients with further improvement in their symptoms. At present, long term follow-up is being conducted by our clinic to evaluate the course of the disease and the duration of improvements achieved from this treatment.","PeriodicalId":12828,"journal":{"name":"Gynecology & reproductive health","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75611510","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}
