background: perinatal mortality rate is an important indicator of community health status. this study aimed to evaluate perinatal mortality and its determinants in mobini hospital of sabzevar, iran. methods: this descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed within a two-year (2011-2012) period at mobini hospital of sabzevar. our study population included all the cases of stillbirth and live...

BACKGROUND Coxiella burnetii is a well-known cause of placentitis and subsequent abortion in ruminants, but there are no reports on the relationship with perinatal mortality. The study was performed to determine the influence of level and change of bulk tank milk (BTM) antibodies to C. burnetii on two outcomes associated with parturition in cattle: a) stillbirth; and b) stillbirth and neonatal ...

BACKGROUND Reviews of perinatal deaths are mostly facility based. Given the number of women who, globally, deliver outside of facilities, this data may be biased against total population data. We aimed to analyse population based perinatal mortality data from a LMIC setting (Mpumalanga, South Africa) to determine the causes of perinatal death and the rate of maternal complications in the settin...

Perinatal mortality rate is a sensitive indicator of quality of care provided to women in pregnancy, at and after child birth and to the newborns in the first week of life. Regular perinatal audit would help in identifying all the factors that play a role in causing perinatal deaths and thus help in appropriate interventions to reduce avoidable perinatal deaths. A retrospective study of perinat...

BACKGROUND perinatal mortality is the sum of still birth (fetal death) and early neonatal death (ENND) i.e. death of live newborn before the age of 7 completed days. Perinatal mortality accounts three fourth of the deaths of the neonatal period and is one of the major challenges for under-five mortality. Therefore this study was conducted to better understand the common and avoidable factors th...

OBJECTIVE To prospectively review the extent and determinants of perinatal mortality (PNM), at a large Government referral teaching hospital in Karachi and to compare the rate with previous data. METHODS One year study from 1st January to 31st December 2001 was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi. A prospective review of all...

Introduction: Antepartum hemorrhage (APH) is a grave obstetrical emergency. Maternal and perinatal complications in APH are anemia, malpresentatons, postpartum hemorrhage, shock, low birth weight, intrauterine death, and birth asphyxia. Aims And Objectives: Aims of the present study were to find the demographic profile, type of APH, maternal and perinatal complications. Patients And Methods: It...

Ischemic perinatal stroke is a disorder associated with significant long-term neurologic morbidity. With an estimated incidence of 1 in 2300 to 5000 births, stroke is more likely to occur in the perinatal period than at any time in childhood. The incidence of ischemic perinatal stroke ranks second only to that of strokes in the elderly population. Although ischemic perinatal stroke is a well-re...

BACKGROUND In low-income countries, the majority of neonatal deaths occur during the perinatal period. The fourth millennium development goal of reducing child mortality cannot therefore be met without substantial reduction in perinatal deaths. OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors for perinatal mortality in Arua regional referral hospital, West Nile region. METHODS We conducted a facil...

We mapped the cellular expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and ER mRNAs in the male reproductive system of the rat during development and adulthood by in situ hybridization. The expression patterns of ER mRNA in the gonad, efferent duct and initial segment of the epididymis during the perinatal period were essentially similar to those of the adult: ER mRNA signals were expressed most intensely...
