Metronidazole is used to treat trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, and other diseases. There are controversy aspects about its teratogenicity. A teratogenic agent can alter morphology or subsequent function of the fetus. The aim of this study was to examine an alternative method for the recognition of the mechanism or the bimolecular potential changes in mice fetus caused by Metronidazole usin...

AIM The present study was conducted on advanced pregnant buffaloes suffering from uterine torsion to assess the status of fetus and uterus by transabdominal ultrasonography, and the findings were compared with normal advanced pregnant buffaloes. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted on 20 clinical cases of uterine torsion and 20 normal advanced pregnant buffaloes (control group). The ...

Abstract Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a common disorder in the second half characterized by pruritus and elevated serum bile acids (BAs) with spontaneous resolution after delivery. ICP carries risk adverse effects on fetus which correlates degree BA elevation. occurs genetically susceptible women as reproductive hormones increase during pregnancy. Ursodeoxycholic acid still co...

We report a case of Cushing syndrome secondary to adrenal adenoma and the fetus showing nonreactive fetal heart rate pattern on non-stress test some days with general movements (GMs) negative. The tumor was confirmed at 31+5 weeks of pregnancy and removed surgically one month after the birth. The fetus showed nonreactive fetal heart rate pattern on non-stress test for nearly a week and was born...

Intrauterine growth of fetus mainly depends on adequate function of placenta. Placenta is a fetal organ. It shares same stress and strain to which the fetus is exposed. Thus any disease which affects the mother has a great impact on placenta. Anatomical structure of placenta greatly influences its function. Thus study of placental morphology is considered essential. 136 Pregnancy complications ...

We report a case of second gravida with one living issue with undiagnosed secondary abdominal pregnancy admitted in our hospital in shock. Screening USG showed a normal uterus with a live fetus of 16 week 2 days gestation lying in abdominal cavity. Emergency laparotomy done with extraction of fetus and placenta with left salpingectomy , with left partial oophorectomy, with left partial omentect...

Placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) rarely complicates with pregnancy. A 30-year-old woman, gravida 3, para 3, presenting with placentomegaly, was referred to our department at 18 weeks of gestation. An ultrasonography revealed a normal fetus with a large multicystic placenta, measuring 125 × 42 × 80 mm. The border between the lesion and normal region was not clear. Color doppler revealed lit...

Genes regulate the development of fertilised egg into the inner cell mass (which will become the embryo, fetus and, eventually, baby) and the trophoblast (which will become the placenta). Defects in the genes that regulate these processes lead to a wide range of embryonic, fetal and neonatal defects, from minor cosmetic abnormalities, to such severe defects disasters that a pregnancy miscarries...
