Ante-partum hemorrhage can threaten both health of mother and that baby. In ante- partum hemorrhage, there may be some pain in the abdomen if placenta separates from uterus. This condition needs urgent medical attention. If is a risk further bleeding or becomes severe, an intravenous infusion possibly blood transfusion necessary. APH complicates 2-5% all pregnancies associated with significant ...

Introduction: Considering the importance of uterine contractions in uterus retraction and reducing post-partum hemorrhage and the current findings on the effect of the alcoholic extract of pomegranate seed on the uterine contractility, only few studies were made on this issue. In the present study the cumulative effect of the aqueous extract of pomegranate seed on the uterine smooth muscle c...

BACKGROUND Model-based estimates of the global proportions of maternal deaths that are in HIV-infected women range from 7% to 21%, and the effects of HIV on the risk of maternal death is highly uncertain. We used longitudinal data from the Analysing Longitudinal Population-based HIV/AIDS data on Africa (ALPHA) network to estimate the excess mortality associated with HIV during pregnancy and the...

OBJECTIVE Our goal was to characterize the changes in maternal lipid peroxidation levels and antioxidant enzymatic activities before and after delivery. METHODS Predelivery and 1, 24, and 48 hours post-partum plasma concentrations of malondialdehyde, erythrocyte enzyme superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase were measured in uncomplicated pregnancies. RESULTS Malondialdehy...

Introduction Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder without intellectual disabilities (High Functioning ASD, HF-ASD) present atypical sensory sensitivity, due to the hyper-reactivity inputs. Objectives To retrospectively evaluate sensitivity in a sample of mothers HF-ASD during pregnancy (pre-partum), delivery and childbirth (peri-partum) three months after (post-partum). Methods 19 13 neuro...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of body weight (BW) change during the early postpartum period and BW on day 50 post partum on the subsequent expression of estrus and fertility at first insemination before day 90 post partum. The data were derived from 1036 postpartum cows reaching 90 days in milk. The following data were recorded for each animal: lactation number, daily milk pr...

Quantitative collagen determinations demonstrate an increase of approximately 800 per cent in the collagen content of the human uterus at term as compared with the non-pregnant state. Following parturition, there is a rapid resorption of collagen. The amount of collagen which disappears from the post partum uterus is approximately 53 gm. By the 8th day post partum, the human uterus has lost app...

Plasma and pituitary GH concentrations and liver GH receptor (GHR), IGF-I and IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) mRNA expression were determined in brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) pouch young aged 12-150 days post-partum and in adults. Mean plasma GH concentrations were highest, measuring around 150 ng/ml, from 12 to 100 days post-partum, and thereafter declined so that by 150 days post-p...
