Diagnostic tests revealed acute PE affecting both main pulmonary arteries. The patient received prompt medical treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU), including anticoagulation therapy, diuretics, oxygen support, and antibiotics. Her condition gradually improved, and she was discharged on oral anticoagulation medication after five days.

Additionally, there may be an increased risk of other morbidities such as obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, infertility, cancer, and psychological disorders.This study is an attempt to summarise the prevalence of polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS) in adolescent girls and young women residing in the National Capital Region belonging to the age group of 11-30 years.The study was questionnaire-based and carried out for a duration of 6 months with 267 participants. The BMI of the participants was calculated using the formula: BMI= weight in kgs/ height in m2. PCOS was diagnosed using a questionnaire with Rotterdam’s criteria.The prevalence of PCOS was found to be 77.1%. The mean age group at which maximum number of participants were diagnosed with PCOS was 18-20 years. The BMI (BMI=kg/m2) of all the participants was calculated and 8% participants came under the obese category. 90% of the participants were aware of PCOS, 79.2% participants agreed PCOS is increasing rapidly while 19.3% participants had no idea about PCOS.The study concludes that respondents were less aware of the actual prevalence of PCOS and also associate the disorder’s manifestation with lifestyle variations. Even at this young age adolescent girls and women are at a high risk of metabolic syndrome because of the increased prevalence of sedentary lifestyles and lack of physical activity. A good diet, regular exercise, early diagnosis, and treatment modalities available are all critical components of raising awareness about PCOS and the risk factors associated with it.","PeriodicalId":13288,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Research","volume":"195 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74426204","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}

Despite being a preventable disease, it remains highly prevalent, with over 600,000 new cases and 340,000 deaths reported worldwide in 2020. According to the GLOBOCAN 2020 data, cervical cancer represented 9.4% of all cancer cases and 18.3% of new cancer cases in India. However cervical cancer is now considered preventable through cervical screening and curable, particularly if detected early, which emphasizes the importance of \"prevention is better than cure\". The current research utilized Pap smear, VIA, and colposcopy to identify abnormal cervical appearances indicative of carcinoma.: During a span of 18 months, a study was carried out on 329 women who were attending the OPD clinic at Integral Institute Of Medical Sciences and Research hospital. With the participants' consent, the women underwent VIA, Pap smear and colposcopy tests as part of the study. In the study 61 (18.5%) cases were found positive in VIA findings and 268 (81.5%) were VIA negative. In this study 85.7% of Pap smears were normal, out of 18.5% VIA positive, 77% of pap smears were abnormal 23 (37.5%) ASC (NOS/US), 8 (13.1%) AGC and AGC NOS, 6 (9.1%) AEC, 5 (8.2%) LSIL, 5 (8.2%) HSIL and out of 268 VIA negative all Pap were normal (100%). 61 colposcopies were done, out of 18.5% VIA positive, 73.6% colposcopies were positive 29 were CIN I (47.5%), 10 were CIN III (16.3), 6 were CIN II (9.8%) and 13.2% were normal and 13.2% were cervicitis. Biopsy was done in all colposcopy patients, 49.2% were CIN I, 27% were chronic cervicitis, 10% were CIN I, 3.2% were squamous cell carcinoma and 1.6% were adenocarcinoma in situ and 1.6% were cx show no atypia. VIA offers a promising alternative to cytology for detecting premalignant lesions of the uterine cervix, with its cost-effectiveness, on-the-spot results, and high sensitivity and specificity. In low-resource settings like India, where a substantial number of women lack access to screening tests, VIA is especially well-suited. This screening method allows for immediate counseling and referral for treatment, helping to reduce delays in diagnosis and treatment which can help to minimize delays in diagnosis and treatment.","PeriodicalId":13288,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Research","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84807085","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}

Placenta accreta developed in 55 of 590 women with placenta previa and 7 of 156080 without placenta previa. Increased incidence of caesarean increases the incidence of placenta accreta. Multiple caesarean deliveries are largest risk factor for placenta accreta.

A 36 years old patient, P3L3A1 had prior 3 LSCS with retained placenta with profuse bleeding per vaginum with history of expulsion of fetus (18 week) on the way to hospital, presented to labor room.

The study population was the patients attending OPD or casualty or admitted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at LNH, MAMC, who fulfilled the MoHFW maternal near miss identifying criteria and whose case records were available. The data for the study was collected both retrospectively and prospectively from January 2019 to December 2021.
