Are Higher Order Caesarean Sections More Risky Compared to Lower Order Caesarean Sections?

[Infections after Caesarean sections].

BACKGROUND All hospitals in Norway are required to participate in the Norwegian Surveillance System for Hospital-Acquired Infections (NOIS). Hospitals can choose to have from one to five given surgical procedures under surveillance, caesarean section being one of them. This article describes the incidence of surgical site infections after caesarean sections and identifies causes for such infect...

Paediatrics SHOs attending elective caesarean sections.

We conducted a retrospective analysis of neonatal resuscitation following “low risk” caesarean delivery over a 12-month period from 1st July 2001 to 30th June 2002. An SHO attends all such births to receive and assess the baby and resuscitate if required. Attendance at deliveries takes precedence over other responsibilities. The midwife present is fully trained in neonatal resuscitation. Th...

Higher Order Corrections to Jet Cross Sections in Hadron Colliders

We describe a general method of calculating the fully differential cross section for the production of jets at next-to-leading order in a hadron collider. This method is based on a ‘crossing’ of next-to-leading order calculations with all partons in the final state. The method introduces universal crossing functions that allow a modular approach to next-to-leading order calculations for any pro...

Do Urgent Caesarean Sections Have a Circadian Rhythm?

OBJECTIVE The primary goal of the present study was to demonstrate the existence of a possible circadian variation in urgent operative deliveries. METHODS All urgent caesarean sections between 1 January 2014 and 1 January 2015 with known exact onset times of operation were included in this retrospective study. Cases that were previously scheduled for elective caesarean section were excluded. ...
