BACKGROUND Although the common direct obstetric causes of maternal mortality are known from the literature, the contribution of each cause and the change in trend over decades is unknown in Ethiopia. The objective of this review was to assess the trend of proportion of maternal mortality due to the common direct causes. METHODS This systematic review was done on eighteen health facility based...

Molecular electronics has been growing rapidly, to a point where the ambition is to miniaturize conventional electronic devices down to the single-molecule scale. One of the essential components of the future molecular circuits is miniaturized power sources. A few reports have addressed this key issue by using a single nanowire as a low-power source for nanoelectronics, such as a piezoelectric ...

INTRODUCTION Peripartum hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of maternal death worldwide (25%). METHODS Selective literature review, including international guidelines, for assessment of the causes and optimal management of this condition. RESULTS The major causes of hemorrhage are uterine atony, placenta previa, and abruptio placentae. The diagnosis of hemorrhage is suspected from its c...

This study sought to determine the effect of fermented medicinal herbs (FMH), i.e. cutchery (Kaempferia galanga), turmeric (Curcuma longa) and curcuma xanthorrhiza) in combination with molasses probiotic drink (Yakult), administered orally on hematological physiological profile of...

Maternal administration of DDAVP induces maternal and fetal plasma hyponatremia, accentuates fetal urine flow, and increases amniotic fluid volume. Fetal hemorrhage represents an acute stress that results in fetal AVP secretion and reduced urine flow rate. In view of the potential therapeutic use of DDAVP for pregnancies with reduced amniotic fluid volume, we sought to examine the impact of mat...

Aim: To investigate imaging findings and postnatal clinical features of fetal intracranial hemorrhage.
 Materials Method: Fetal hemorrhage cases detected in our institution between 2018 2020 by ultrasonography magnetic resonance were included. Maternal characteristics, findings, outcomes noted.
 Results: A total 10 with a gestational age 21-35 weeks at the time diagnosis detected. Eig...
