background and objectives: hyperthyroidism can occur with pregnancy. thyroid storm is a life-threatening exacerbation of hyperthyroidism. the mortality rate for thyroid storm remains surprisingly high at approximately 20%. case report: a 21-year-old primigravida woman presented at 25 weeks, with severe pre-eclampsia and uncontrolled hyperthyroidism was scheduled for emergency cesarean section. ...

conclusions intravenous acetaminophen administered before caesarean section reduced tachycardia after intubation, narcotic drugs administration during and after the operation and reduced pain in pacu. results patients in the saline group experienced more pain in the recovery room (vas 7.0 ± 1.24 vs. 6.15 ± 2.27; p value = 0.041) and required more fentanyl intraoperatively (150 µg vs. 87.7 ± 75;...

conclusions in patients with severe preeclampsia undergoing cesarean delivery, a continuous iv infusion of nitroglycerine was able to attenuate the cardiovascular response to intubation to a greater extent than the use of sublingual nifedipine or iv hydralazine, without significant adverse effects on the newborn. results in contrast to those in group nif and group h, the patients in group ntg s...

conclusions subhypnotic doses of midazolam or propofol are effective in the prevention of nausea and vomiting during and after cesarean section with spinal anesthesia and does not significantly influence hemodynamic of the patients. results the incidence of nausea, retching, and vomiting was significantly higher in the control group compared to propofol and midazolam groups. overall, ponv (post...

background caesarian section is a commonplace surgery in females for which spinal anesthesia is the preferred method. the local anesthetic medications used in the surgery are often associated with complications such as nausea, vomiting, dyspnea, hypotension, and bradycardia. in the present study, we decreased the dose of the anesthetic drug and added an opioid instead. objectives we tried to fi...

primary choriocarcinoma of the uterine cervix is an extremely rare disease. the clinical diagnosis of cervical choriocarcinoma is difficult, because of its rarity and being non-specific abnormal vaginal bleeding the most common symptom. in the present report,the authors present a case of cervical choriocarcinoma, which was initially misdiagnosed as a cesarean section scar ectopic pregnancy. rem...

INTRODUCTION Large practice variation exists in mode of delivery after cesarean section, suggesting variation in implementation of contemporary guidelines. We aim to evaluate this practice variation and to what extent this can be explained by risk factors at patient level. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study was performed among 17 Dutch hospitals in 2010. Women with one prior...

Objective To compare the obstetric outcomes of cesarean section in women who had a history of four or more previous cesarean sections with those who had a history of two or three previous cesarean sections. Methods Total 1318 women who underwent repeat cesarean section between January 2013 and January 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Of these, 244 (18.5%) had previously had four or more ce...

Objective: To study the impact of maternal age and parity on cesarean section rate. Methods: Fifteen thousand three hundred and forty two women delivered at Prince Hashim Hospital between the 1 of January 1998 and 31 of December 2001. One thousand four hundred thirty four cesarean sections were performed in the same period. Patients underwent cesarean section were divided into three age groups:...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risk of emergency cesarean section according to the prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain per the 2009 Institute of Medicine guidelines. METHODS A retrospective analysis of data from 2,765 women with singleton full-term births (2009 to 2012) who attempted a vaginal delivery was conducted. Pregnancies with preeclampsia, chronic hypertension, d...
