In many societies, these are handled behind the scenes as cultural taboos. Objectives: The study aims to address the effects of menstrual hygiene on excessive vaginal bleeding during and after delivery. Methods: The study used data from the fourth round of the National Family Health Survey. The study included 146,121 women aged 15-24 years from high focused states of India. Chi-Square analysis was used to examine the significance of menstrual hygiene on excessive vaginal bleeding during and after delivery. In addition, binary logistic regression was used for the assessment of the adjusted effects. Results: The prevalence of excessive vaginal bleeding during and after delivery ranged from 4.3 percent to 12.8 percent and 2.6 percent to 8.2 percent, respectively. Women who use hygienic method of protection to prevent blood stains during menstrual period were at lower risk of suffering from excessive vaginal bleeding during (OR = 0.80; 95% CI = [0.77, 0.84]) and after delivery (OR = 0.91; 95% CI = [0.86, 0.97]). Women who had terminated pregnancy, having higher BMI and lower level of education were also at higher risk. Conclusion: The study portrays evidence of a strong association between menstrual hygiene and excessive vaginal bleeding during and after delivery. Therefore, attention in research, practice and policy, including improved education, training and communication, is necessary to break the silence around girls and women’s regarding menstrual hygiene","PeriodicalId":300833,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pregnancy & Child Birth","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115046170","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}

This study is conducted to determine menstrual characteristics and the prevalence of menstrual disorders among secondary school girls of rural Gambia and its effects on the life-style of these girls particularly absenteeism at school. Method: A prospective cross-sectional survey was carried out among girls of age 13- 24 years from three different school in Soma Town, Lower River Region of The Gambia using self-administered questionnaire. The data was entered into computer database and analysed using the SPSSS version 26. Results: The mean age of menarche was 13.86±1.26 years with a wide range (8- 17years). Most (69.4%) participants declared their periods as regular and mean menstrual cycle was 26.28±3.25 days with most (58.3%) had moderate menstrual flow with mean duration of flow was 4.9±1.3 days. Most (69.4%) participants used sanitary pads. Dysmenorrhea was reported by 85.2% of the participants; majority (47.5%) had moderate pain and only 46.8% used analgesics for dysmenorrhea. Majority (94.6%) of the participants had associated symptoms with menstruation; tiredness, mood changes and pain were the three highest reported symptoms. School absenteeism was reported by 34.5% of the participants and painful menstruation was the highest reported cause. Most (58.0%) reported life-style affected by menstruation; attending school, casual work at home and relationship with friends were the three highest affected activities reported due painful menstruation. Almost (99.5%) all have received some information about menstruation either from parents, teachers, friends and others. Conclusion: Mean age at menarche was 13.86±1.26. Most girls suffer from dysmenorrhea which affects their school attendance and other life-style activities.

We have recently shown that miR-191-5p secreted into culture medium by human embryos cultured and transferred to woman on the fifth day of development was associated with the percentage of pregnant vs. non-pregnant patients. Little is known about the regulation and expression of endometrial miRNAs induced by embryonic miRNAs in endometrial tissue. Therefore, in the present work we explored the viability and transfection of RL95-2 endometrial cell line with agomiR-191. Results: The main results obtained in this study were: First, transfection of RL95-2 cell line with 100nM of lipofectamine in combination with 15, 30, and 60 nM of agomiR-191 for 3, 6 and 24 hours does not affect the viability of RL95-2 cells. Second, we observed expression of miR-191 with 60 pmol of agomiR-191 in a time dependent transfection. Conclusion:: Stimulation of RL95-2 endometrial cell line with lipofectamine does not modify their viability. The transfected RL95-2 endometrial cells showed increased the expression of miR-191.","PeriodicalId":300833,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pregnancy & Child Birth","volume":"55 1-2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114131800","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}

Methods: We designed a pre intervention and post intervention questionnaire completed prospectively by trainees describing the tasks they needed to undertake to complete a referral, the time perceived as ‘wasted’ and suggest potential solutions over a 2 month period between 1st June 2020 and 1st August 2020. We used Lean methodology to identify waste as steps that did not add value to quality patient care. We designed a NICU referral directory containing the standard operating steps, the appropriate proformas and contact details of receiving unit, a process algorithm and a collective consultant email address. Results: Our project achieved a reduction in the median time to complete a referral from 27.5 minutes to 6 minutes (p = 0.0087). The time perceived ‘wasted’ by trainees was reduced from 20 minutes to 0 minutes (p=0.006). Conclusion: Our project is a simple intervention and supports using Lean methodologies to identify waste and bring about quick improvements without significant capital investments. We demonstrate how front line staff can be engaged in identifying inefficiencies, suggest solutions which help in the successful adoption and sustainability of quality improvements.","PeriodicalId":300833,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pregnancy & Child Birth","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126156402","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}
