Case(s) We describe a case of prenatal diagnosed right ventricle aneurysm which ended with favorable outcome. Fetal echocardiography demonstrated a 20x20 mm aneurysmal image outpouching from the basal region and free wall of the right ventricle in a 35- year-old multigravida woman at her 37th gestation week. This case had intermittent bradycardia in the postpartum first days. In pediatric cardiology examinations at the 1st, 3rd , 6th month and 1st year postnatally, it was observed that aneurysmatic formation partially regressed compared to the prenatal period. Conclusion Prenatal diagnosis of these abnormalities allows to have a favorable prognosis via a multidiciplinary colloboration in intrauterine and postnatal period.","PeriodicalId":46449,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Perinatal Education","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86372512","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}

Identification of risk factors is essential for its early detection and intervention. The study was aimed to assess the incidence of ROP and to determine the risk factors associated with ROP. Methods It was a prospective observational study which included preterm neonates admitted in neonatal intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital in Chennai,Tamil nadu,India from December 2020 to September 2021. Screening for ROP was performed for all neonates below 34 weeks gestation and between 34 to 36 weeks with risk factors for ROP. Association between risk factors and ROP was determined using chi square test for categorical variables and students t test for continuous variables. A p value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results Of the 140 neonates screened, 45(32.1%) neonates were diagnosed to have ROP. Among the neonates detected to have ROP there were 24(53.3%) male. 34(75.6%) neonates had a birth weight less than 1.75 kg, 27(60%) neonates had a gestational age less than 34 weeks,22 (48.9%)neonates were born to primi mothers, 25(55.6%) neonates were delivered by normal vaginal delivery. Among the neonatal risk factors studied, sepsis was found to have a significant association with ROP (p=0.02). ). Risk factors like apnoea, respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage, oxygen therapy and blood transfusion did not have a significant association with ROP. Conclusion The present study revealed an incidence of ROP of 32% and there was significant association with sepsis.","PeriodicalId":46449,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Perinatal Education","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75691768","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}

Results Total patients were 130, [65 each, in group I(spontaneous) and group II (induced)]. Successful TOLAC (Trial of labour after cesarean section) happened in 80% in spontaneous labour (gp I) patients and 66.2 % women in induced patients (group II), (p value-0.075). There was no significant difference in age, parity and gestational age (p value >0.05), APGAR score and NICU (Neonatal intensive care unit) admissions in both spontaneous labour(gp I) and induced patients (gp II). There incidence of fetal distress was not statistically significant in spontaneous (group I) and induced patients (group II), (p value-0.744). Indication of primary LSCS (Lower segment cesarean section) showed no significant effect on outcome of TOLAC in spontaneous and induced group patients. History of prior vaginal delivery had more chances of VBAC. Hospital stay and PPH was more in induced patients(group II). The dfference of scar dehiscence in group I(spontaneous) and II (induced) were not statistically significant (p value=0.721). There were no cases of scar rupture in both the groups. Conclusion Induction of labour and spontaneous labour both have almost similar VBAC success rates. Also with fewer scar dehiscence and no rupture, IOL (Induction of labour) is a good option in previous one cesarean patients.","PeriodicalId":46449,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Perinatal Education","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73165702","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}
