Maternal and fetal outcome in pregnancy with hepatitis E virus infection

Background: Hepatitis E infection has been a major concern in the pregnant females due to its fulminant nature in pregnancy and increased mortality in pregnant females as compared the non-pregnant females and males. In spite of approximately 60 years of its discovery the cause of fulminant nature of hepatitis E in pregnancy still remains a mystery. The maternal and fetal outcomes are still unfavorable. Various studies and hypothesis have been given but still not proved. Hence the study was performed in tertiary care centre to evaluate the maternal and fetal outcome in pregnancy with hepatitis E virus infection.Methods: All cases of hepatitis E, IgM positive visiting the antenatal clinic or admitted during the period of 2012 and 2014 at the tertiary care centre were included in the study. Other cases of hepatitis (noninfectious, other causes of viral hepatitis) were excluded. Maternal outcome in terms of acute liver failure, coagulation failure, hepatic encephalopathy and maternal mortality was studied. Fetal outcome in terms of, preterm labor, low birth weight, intrauterine fetal death was studied.Results: In the study it was found that pregnant women with jaundice and acute viral hepatitis due to hepatitis E virus infection had a high mortality rate (52%), especially during third trimester and postpartum period (82%). The most common medical complication was coagulation failure (56%) and acute liver failure (27%) followed by hepatic encephalopathy (17%). The most common obstetric complication was post-partum hemorrhage (42%) followed by IUFD (24%), APH (8%).Conclusions: The study shows that pregnant women with jaundice and acute viral hepatitis due to hepatitis E virus infection had a high mortality rate especially during third trimester and postpartum period and also they had poor obstetric and fetal outcome

Laparoscopic bilateral gonadectomy in a case of turner syndrome with 45XO/46XY genotype

Turner syndrome is one of the common chromosomal aberrations which manifests in a female as multiple phenotypic disorders usually presenting as a case of primary amenorrhea. Many of these patients display mosaicism on karyotyping and a presence of Y chromosomal material indicates high risk of gonadoblastoma and gonadectomy is indicated which is best achieved by laparoscopy. This is a case of 21-year-old female phenotype referred as a case of primary amenorrhea diagnosed as Turner syndrome with 46XY mosaicism. Laparoscopic bilateral salpingoophorectomy was done. In patients of primary amenorrhea karyotyping should be evaluated and if Y chromosome detected these patients should be subjected to gonadectomy after proper risk counselling about malignancy

Laparoscopic management of heterotopic pregnancy in an IVF conception

Heterotopic Pregnancy cases are on the rise in the era of Artificial Reproductive Techniques and managing these pregnancies can be challenging especially in safeguarding the precious intrauterine pregnancy. These were traditionally managed by laparotomy and there are few cases reported wherein salpingectomy is done laparoscopically. We would like to report this case of a 7 weeks intrauterine pregnancy with 5 weeks tubal ectopic treated by laparoscopic salpingectomy under spinal anaesthesia while safeguarding the intrauterine viable gestation. In the light of increased incidence of abnormal implantations and growing demand and expertise of minimally invasive surgeries, laparoscopy is the treatment of choice for heterotopic pregnancies, especially in the interest of the intrauterine pregnancy

Role of Doppler indices in prediction of perinatal outcome in preeclampsia

Background: Preeclampsia is a major cause of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity worldwide, particularly in developing countries. The objective of the study was to study Doppler indices in pregnancies with preeclampsia and to correlate Doppler indices with perinatal outcome.Methods: This was a prospective study conducted within a period of September 2012 to August 2014 where 100 singleton preeclampsia patients attending tertiary care hospital were recruited. These patients were followed by serial Doppler assessment and the result of the last Doppler examination within 10 days of delivery was considered in the subsequent correlation with perinatal outcomes. Perinatal outcome was studied under major and minor adverse outcome.Results: In this study out of total population 54% were primigravida patients. 43.75% caesarean sections done for fetal distress with abnormal Doppler. Bilateral uterine artery diastolic notch and umbilical artery S/D ratio have better sensitivity (72.55%) for prediction of minor adverse outcome while uterine artery diastolic notch has better sensitivity (86.67%) for major adverse outcome. Umbilical artery and middle cerebral artery RI have better specificity and positive predictive value  for prediction of both major and minor adverse outcome. Bilateral uterine artery notch and umbilical artery S/D ratio have better negative predictive value for prediction of both major and minor adverse outcome.Conclusions: In this study it is concluded that Doppler analysis helps not only earlier detection of uteroplacental and fetoplacental changes associated with the disease but also help to take decision for early intervention. Doppler technology has provided the best opportunity for repetitive non-invasive haemodynamic monitoring in pregnancy for fetal well-being evaluation and predicting perinatal outcome

EARTHQUAKE DETECTION AND REPORTING SYSTEM

Now a day’s large number of people is moving towards the social networking. Twitter is one of the bestexamples of social networking. Twitter is generally categorized as a micro-blogging service, which enables users to send brief text updates. These tweets are processed through twitter search API and crawler and used in real time event detection system such as detecting an earthquake. In proposed system semantic analysis is used to analyze the tweets. Support vector machines (SVMs) are used for classification, regression and outliers detection. The occurrence of event detection is done by spatiotemporal model by treating each twitter user as a sensor value. For the purpose of location estimation, an algorithm is used which is based on the tweet content similarity and the location transition history of twitter user
