Background: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a life threatening obstetric emergency. In Pakistan 25% of maternal deaths are due to PPH and majority is due to uterine atony. B-Lynch suture is a simple and effective method for control of PPH due to uterine atony as an alternative to more complicated surgery including hysterectomy with loss of fertility and associated psychological morbidity. Objec...

Postmortem imaging notably CT, has been embraced in medicolegal death investigation. It allows for non-invasive interrogation of the skull and cranial contents prior to autopsy, forewarning likely findings excluding overt pathology such as fractures, haemorrhage, mass lesions. There are, however, deficiencies postmortem CT part due changes brain at or after death, inherent insensitivity subtle ...

because of an unknown factor, the frequency of complicated pregnancy with placenta previa has been raised during past decade. this study was designed to deepen our understanding of risk factors and outcomes of placenta previa in our country. this study investigated 694 cases of placenta previa comparing with 600 healthy pregnant women with not overlie placenta in two referral and tertiary obste...

Haemorrhage is associated with intestinal mucosal hypoxia and impaired gut barrier function. Dopamine increases oxygen delivery to the intestinal mucosa and may thus counteract haemorrhage-induced mucosal hypoxia. Jejunal mucosal tissue oxygen tension (mucosal PO2) and jejunal oxygen saturation of mucosal microvascular haemoglobin (mucosal HbO2) were measured in 14 anaesthetized pigs. Seven ani...
