Authors: Taher Rabab Alwan , Kzar Al-Essami Shereen Abdulhussien , Hussein Kadhim Batool
Published: March 2023

Background: Endometrial receptivity is a chain of events that promotes embryo implantation and is regulated by a variety of substances, such as cytokines, growth factors, and steroid hormones. The study’s objective was to assess how vaginally delivered sildenafil in ICSI patients affects pregnancy outcome, endometrial thickness, subendometrial resistance index, and pulsatility index.
Methods: The sixty women who participated in this controlled randomised trial (interventional experimental research) at the High Institute of Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Technologies underwent IVF/ICSI cycles. Patients were split into two groups: study group: from the day of the last menstrual period to the day of the hCG injection, thirty (30) infertile women got four (4) doses of vaginal sildenafil 25mg tablets daily. Thirty (30) infertile ladies who weren’t given sildenafil therapy made up the control group.
Results: Nitric oxide levels in the study group's serum were significantly significant. In the subendometrial Doppler research, the mean pulsatility index was considerably lower in the study group whereas the mean resistance index and mean systolic to diastolic ratio did not change statistically between the control and study groups. Between the control and study groups, there was no statistically significant difference in the mean endometrial thickness. The sildenafil group had a greater pregnancy rate, although the difference was not statistically significant.
Conclusions: By enhancing subendometrial blood flow by lowering the pulsatility index and raising the nitric oxide (NO) factor, the use of vaginal sildenafil in a new ICSI cycle improves endometrial receptivity.
The role of serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin as a predictor for pregnancy induced hypertension in 12-20 weeks of pregnancy
Authors: Singh Shakun , Gupta Swati , Chaudhary Rachna , Dhama Vandana
Published: March 2023

Background: Pregnancy-induced hypertension occurs in approximately 3 to 5% of pregnancies and is still a major cause of both fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Pre-eclampsia is risk factor for stillbirth, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), low birth weight (LBW), preterm delivery, respiratory distress syndrome, and admission to neonatal intensive care unit. Overall, the incidence of preeclampsia ranges from 5 to 15% in India. This study conducted to assess the predictive value of raised beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels in development of pregnancy-induced hypertension in antenatal women and follow up the risk patients and reduce both maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.
Methods: The present study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, L.L.R.M Medical College and associated SVBP Hospital, Meerut during the period of January 2021 to December 2021 on 400 antenatal women with 12 to 20 weeks of gestation. Estimation of serum beta hCG level was done by enzyme linked fluorescence immunoassay. The cases were followed up in antenatal clinics, 4 weekly till 28 weeks, fortnightly up to 34 weeks and thereafter weekly till delivery for the development of PIH.
Results: From the study it was found that women with elevated beta hCG values in 12-20 weeks were at increased risk of developing PIH. The sensitivity of β-hCG for development of PIH was found to be 90%. It was found that specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) of β-hCG for development of PIH was 82%, 41.7%, 98.3% respectively. However, p value of β-hCG for development of PIH is 0.001 which is highly significant.
Conclusions: From this study we found that that measuring second trimester serum beta-hCG levels is a good predictor of pregnancy induced hypertension and showed association with elevated levels of beta hCG with development and severity of PIH, but sensitivity and positive predictive value of beta hCG are low in this study to be useful for mass screening marker on its own.
Single dose versus multiple doses of antibiotics in women undergoing caesarean section: a randomized non-inferiority trial
Authors: Agarwal Krishna , Lamba Hansveen Kaur
Published: March 2023

Background: The study aimed to compare the rates of surgical site infection in women undergoing caesarean section, given either a single dose of antibiotic 30-60 minutes before giving skin incision or multiple doses. There is enough evidence available from high-income countries supporting a single dose of prophylactic antibiotic. However, there is scanty data from middle- and low-income countries.
Methods: An open-ended randomized trial was undertaken on 400 women undergoing caesarean section. Women in the intervention group were given one dose of intravenous cefazolin before skin incision. Women in the comparison group were given intravenous ceftriaxone before skin incision, and intravenous ceftriaxone plus metronidazole for forty-eight hours after caesarean.
Results: There was no significant difference between the single and multiple-dose regimen of antibiotic prophylaxis in caesarean sections when compared for postoperative surgical site infections. Secondary outcome variables, that is, side-effects of antibiotics were significantly more in the multiple-dose group.
Conclusions: A single-dose regimen for antibiotic prophylaxis is as effective as a multiple-dose regimen, in low-risk women undergoing caesarean section, both elective and emergency.

Authors: Yaramareddy Swapna , Babu Valluri Lenin , S. Gottipati Satheesh , Naik Bhukya Nom Kumar , Sardena Siyonu Kumari , Naik Menavath Tulasi Ram
Published: March 2023

Background: The process of embryo development requires the contribution of both male and female gametes. However, abnormal sperm development can hinder the fertilization process, leading to infertility. To overcome these male fertility issues, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was developed. This technique has proven to be effective, resulting in about 80% of live births in ICSI cycles.
Methods: It is a retrospective cohort study was conducted in department of reproductive medicine, Komali fertility centre a unit of Dr. Ramesh Cardiac and multispeciality hospital P Ltd, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, India. The study was conducted during period of January 2022 to December 2022. Total 120 subjects were included based on our inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: This study used the chi-square test and Pearson's correlation to evaluate the relationship between sperm morphology and various parameters, revealing that poor sperm morphology may contribute to low fertilization, cleavage, and pregnancy outcomes. Individuals with 3% sperm morphology exhibited higher mean fertility rates and lower negative pregnancy rates compared to those with 2% and 1% morphology, highlighting the importance of good sperm morphology for successful fertilization and pregnancy outcomes.
Conclusions: In summary, the study highlights a strong correlation between sperm morphology, fertilization and cleavage rates, while a weak and no correlation was observed between sperm morphology and pregnancy outcome after ICSI. The findings suggest that an improvement in sperm morphology leads to increased fertilization and cleavage rates.

Authors: Gopal Lakshmi , Sudhakar Pradeepa , Kandaswami Dhanabagyam , Manivannan Saranya
Published: March 2023

Background: Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a widely acceptable fertility treatment modality. GnRH antagonists have been proven effective in restricting the LH surge. The aim of the study was to assess whether the addition of gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist (Cetrorelix) would improve clinical pregnancy rate in women undergoing IUI. 
Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted at a Sudha fertility center where 730 women with primary or secondary infertility were subjected to controlled ovarian stimulation with tablet letrozole 5mg once daily for 5 days and then human menopausal gonadotrophins 75 IU/150 IU administered intramuscularly for both the groups and for study group alone Cetrorelix (0.25 mg/day, started when the leading follicle was ≥16 mm; GnRH antagonist) was given additionally. A double insemination was performed at 36 hours and 60 hours after hCG was given (5,000 IU, intramuscularly) in both groups. Chi-square and independent t test was done.
Results: Baseline characteristics in both the groups were almost equal without any statistically significant difference. Significant difference (p=0.017) was found on calculating with statistics among both groups on analyzing LH on hCG day. Clinical pregnancy rates (29.3%) were higher among the study group compared with the control group (21.7%).
Conclusions: From the present study results it shows that addition of GnRH antagonists to controlled ovarian stimulation IUI significantly decreases the incidence of premature luteinization and increases the clinical pregnancy rates and live birth rate.

Authors: Bawankar Ruchita , Singh Neetu , Paliwal Shikha
Published: March 2023

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is any abnormal uterine bleeding outside normal volume, duration, regularity or frequency. Transvaginal sonography allows detailed assessment of anatomical abnormalities of the uterus and endometrium pathologies of the myometrium. Visual assessment can be done by hysteroscopy and cellular assessment by histopathology.
Methods: This descriptive prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in Rama medical college hospital & research centre, Kanpur. 103 Perimenopausal women of 40-45 years of age with AUB attending gynecology OPD of RMCH were included. Particulars of woman regarding menstrual history, obstetric history were asked for. Systemic examination, gynaecological examination and Specific investigations like TVS, Hysteroscopy were also done.
Results: The mean ET by TVS for endometrial hyperplasia >15.59±6.22mm, uterine leiomyomas >13.5±2.12 mm, normal endometrium >7.57±3.28 mm and polyp >10.17±3.55 mm. The endometrium- normal on TVS 73 women (70.88%) followed by endometrial hyperplasia 22 women (21.36%), Uterine polyp 6 (5.82%) and Uterine leiomyoma 2 women (1.94%).
Conclusions: Causes of AUB- hormonal imbalance, endometrial polyp, endometrial hyperplasia, and leiomyomas were other causes of AUB in perimenopausal women. Hysteroscopy can detect endometrial pathology with varying accuracy which was better than TVS in detecting endometrial pathology. In the present study more than 50% women had normal findings on TVS and hysteroscopy.

The fetal outcome was favourable in the expectant management group in terms of higher gestational age at delivery (33 versus 31 weeks; p value: 0.001), higher birth weight (1.7 versus 1.5 kg; p value: 0.05), higher APGAR score at 1 minute (7.5 versus 7; p value :0.05), lesser incidence of neonatal complications (55% versus 95%; p value 0.003).
Conclusions: Considering the results of this study, it can be concluded that expectant management is recommended in patients with severe preeclampsia remote from term with intensive monitoring.
Alpha casozepine and L-theanine in ameliorating stress levels in infertile couples: a review
Authors: Ahire Prachi , C. Stalin , Saha Suman
Published: March 2023

Globally, the fertility rate has decreased significantly in the last two decades. Infertility can lead to psychological and emotional stress, particularly for couples who have been married for a long period. According to the literature, stress can alter the metabolic environment and reduce the likelihood of pregnancy. The fertility treatments involving assisted reproductive technology put additional physical, mental, and financial strain on patients, especially women who are frequently subjected to invasive procedures as part of the process. Stress affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, the concentration of reproductive hormones (FSH, GnRH, and LH), and other biological processes through a variety of mechanisms. Alteration of glucocorticoid hormone levels in the blood was observed because of stress in infertile couples. Moreover, the males also get affected by stress as per the semen parameters and quality analysis. Available evidence strongly suggests that stress reduction should be the first step in a fertility therapy regimen. Further, managing stress can boost ovarian function and semen parameters. The current review focuses on the state-of-the-art research on stress-induced reproductive dysfunction as well as the positive effects of alpha-casozepine, an anxiolytic-like bioactive decapeptide and L-theanine, an amino acid found primarily in green tea on reducing stress levels and improving treatment outcomes in infertile couples.

Published: March 2023

Background: Chronic sinusitis (CRS) includes all inflammatory diseases of the nose and paranasal sinuses with a minimum duration of 12 weeks. Physical examination (anterior rhinoscopy, endoscopy) and/or radiography, ideally from sinus computed tomography, can provide objective proof of the same. After failure of conservative treatment, functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is the preferred modality for chronic rhinosinusitis that has been frequently used over the past years.
Methods: The present prospective study aimed to assess the quality of life (QOL), the nasal endoscopy scores- before and after FESS in 60 patients aged more than 18 years suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis. QOL was assessed using SNOT-20 questionnaire and endoscopy was quantified using Lund-Kennedy sinonasal endoscopy scoring system.
Results: QOL scores were significantly higher (p<0.001) before surgery (41.28±15.30) than after FESS (6.83±5.96) indicating improvement in QOL. Lund-Kennedy endoscopy scores of patients suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis before and after surgery was also significantly reduced (p<0.001).
Conclusions: This study concludes that there is significant improvement in the QOL and reduction in the severity of symptoms in patients suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis after FESS.

Published: March 2023

Background: Diseases of the thyroid gland is a common clinical presentation with a prevalence rate of 4-7% in the general population. The presence of thyroid swelling can cause concern to both patient and surgeon as for the diagnosis and treatment is concerned. The current study aims to study the histomorphological pattern of various thyroid lesions.
Methods: A prospective cross sectional study was carried out in Bapuji Hospital and Chigateri district hospital, teaching hospitals attached to J.J.M. Medical College Davanagere over a year from August 2020 to June 2022. All patients with clinical evidence of thyroid swelling were selected. Ultrasonography (USG), fine needle aspiration of thyroid swelling (FNAC) and thyroid function test (TFT) was done and histomorphological pattern of each patient was studied.  
Results: The reports of FNAC and USG were similar in most of the patients. Accordingly, accuracy is 100%, sensitivity 90%, specificity 0%, positive predictive value 90%, negative predictive value 0%.
Conclusions: As per the study accuracy of FNAC with USG is 100%. USG neck will help to diagnose the solid and cystic lesions. FNAC is a good diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of neoplasm and thyroiditis, Bethesda categorization helps the surgeon to plan for surgery based on the reports and thyroid profile. USG and FNAC are equally sensitive in diagnosing malignancy, but FNAC is more specific (90%). It is a minimally invasive method which can be used to distinguish malignant from benign lesions with a high degree of accuracy (90%).

Authors: Rabha Dhanashri , Devi Junu
Published: March 2023

Urine cytology is an important screening tool for detection of high grade urothelial carcinoma and follow-up of patients with treated disease. Ease of procurement, cost-effectiveness, and lower turnaround time are the major advantages of the system. We aim to determine the frequency of high grade and low grade urothelial carcinoma in urine cytology specimens and to evaluate the accuracy of Paris system.

A retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Pathology (Cytology), GMCH from August 2020 to July 2022 where a total of 200 cases were included. Data along with the preserved slides of urine cytology of these cases were collected from the archives and examined for the presence of urothelial carcinoma. The results were calculated in Microsoft word and excel, and p value was calculated by using the Chi- square (χ2) test of significance, P values less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

In our study, a total of 200 cases were analysed, 169 were males and 31 were females, the male to female ratio being 5.5: 1. The most commonly affected age group was 61-70 years, the mean age being 62 years. Of the 200 urine samples examined, 12.5% cases had High Grade Urothelial Carcinoma (HGUC), 13.5% cases had atypical urothelial cells, 9% cases were suspicious for HGUC and 2% cases had Low Grade Urothelial Neoplasm.

: The Paris System is a highly sensitive and rapid tool for reporting urine cytology specimens and is particularly useful in diagnosing High Grade Urothelial Carcinoma thereby helping in early management of the patients with neoplastic lesions of the urinary bladder.

Published: March 2023

Reticulocytes are immature, non-nucleated RBCs that still contain RNA. It provides useful information about the capacity of the bone marrow to synthesize and release red cells in response to anemia and helps to distinguish between decreased RBC production and enhanced peripheral destruction.

A prospective study was done between thalassemia and iron deficiency anemia cases. The duration of the study was 1 year where 139 cases were included. In our study, a total of 139 patients are included out of which 94 cases were of Thalassemia and 45 cases of Iron deficiency anemia. Measurement of complete blood count (CBC) with reticulocyte fractions was done in the SYSMEX XN-550 system and for serum ferritin, Architect iSystem was used.

This study demonstrates the cut-off value of IRF for detecting Thalassemia trait as 15.85-21.50%, IDA was >21.50% and for Thalassemia major it was < 15.85%. The LFR% optimum cut-off for detecting Thalassemia trait was estimated to be 83.1-84.2%, IDA <83.1%and for Thalassemia major it was > 84.2%. The MFR% optimum cut-off for detecting Thalassemia trait was estimated to be <12.9%, IDA was >13.25% and for Thalassemia major it was 12.9-13.25%. The HFR% optimum cut-off for detecting Thalassemia trait was estimated to be 2.4-5.3%, IDA was >5.3%and for Thalassemia major it was < 2.4%.

The use of new hematological parameters and doing further comparative-based studies will help in differentiating various types of anemia and give knowledge of physiopathology of the underlying disease.

Authors: Ramaswamy AS , Khan Ahamadullah
Published: March 2023

The rapid global spread of the novel coronavirus SARS CoV-2 has strained the existing healthcare and tested our resources. Many studies have found that the ABO blood group plays an important role in various human diseases, such as cardiovascular, oncological, and some infectious and non-infectious diseases. The present study was conducted to study the association of ABO and Rh blood groups with COVID-19 susceptibility and severity.

This study was conducted on 209 COVID-19-confirmed patients admitted for their management. Cases were categorized as mild, moderate and severe as per the protocol. The ABO/Rh blood groups of these patients were determined by the gel card method.

A total of 209 COVID positive patients were included in this present study. Most of the patients susceptible to COVID belonged to B positive blood group (33.01%) followed by O positive (32.06%). The severity of COVID-19 infection was most common in patients with O positive blood group (37.4%).

COVID-19 infection was more common in males and more prevalent in B and O-positive blood groups.
Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma with unresolving haemorrhagic ascites- A case report
Authors: Khushboo  , Kumar Bikash , Chandra Ramesh , Mishra Vinay
Published: March 2023

Peritoneal mesothelioma being a rare tumor is difficult to diagnose and start treatment. Pleura is the most common area being affected by mesothelioma, peritoneum being the second common site, and in some cases synchronous pleural and peritoneal mesotheliomas are observed (30–45% of the cases). The presentation of mesothelioma is not up to mark leading to difficulty in diagnosis due to lack of specific symptoms and clinical findings. In addition, in the absence of previous asbestos exposure a delay in the diagnosis is not rare. Here we report a case of malignant peritoneal mesotheliomas. The diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for these rare neoplasms are discussed.

A 24 year old male patient was admitted with complaints of pain abdomen (on & off) and abdominal distension since 15 days, with no inhalational exposure to asbestos, causing diagnostic confusion. He had history of unresolving haemorrhagic ascites. No drug allergy was noted. Diagnostic laproscopy was done, shows multiple omental nodules. Omental biopsy along with immunohistochemistry leads to diagnosis of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma.

Peritoneal mesotheliomas are infrequent clinical entities. However, patients presenting with prolonged abdominal pain and ascitis should be considered to have atypical pathologies with peritoneal mesotheliomas being one of the differentials.

Authors: Ruiz-Vallejo Fernando , Bruhl Kurt , Guerrero Giovanni
Published: March 2023

Introducción: la sexualidad y la salud sexual de las personas adultas mayores es una dimensión invisible en la prestación de los servicios de salud. Debido a esto, es importante conocer las percepciones y dificultades del personal de salud para brindar esta atención. Objetivo: identificar diferencias y similitudes en la percepción que tienen los proveedores de servicios de salud en Colombia sobre la sexualidad y la salud sexual en el adulto mayor. Metodología: se realizaron 5 grupos focales en Bogotá, Barranquilla, Cali y Medellín donde participaron 19 profesionales de la salud de una institución prestadora de servicios de salud sexual y reproductiva. Resultados: los profesionales de la salud reconocen la sexualidad como un aspecto importante en la prestación de los servicios de salud en las personas mayores, a pesar de la invisibilidad actual del tema en la atención médica. Reconocen la complejidad de hablar sobre sexualidad en la interacción médico-paciente, en parte por la falta de entrenamiento de los profesionales de la salud y por las propias inhibiciones de los pacientes. Discusión: persisten obstáculos sociales y teóricos para abordar los temas de sexualidad en consulta, al igual que diferencias de género para el tratamiento de temas de sexualidad y salud sexual. Conclusiones: los prestadores de servicios de salud son claves para remover barreras a la atención, acompañamiento y comprensión de la salud sexual y la sexualidad de las personas mayores.

Published: March 2023

Introducción: la Enfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva Crónica (EPOC) ocasiona en quienes la padecen limitación física, emocional, social y deterioro de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS). El componente educativo es indispensable en todo programa de Rehabilitación Pulmonar (RP), ya que permite mantener resultados de intervención a largo plazo. Objetivo: comparar el efecto de dos estrategias educativas para pacientes con EPOC desarrolladas en dos programas de RP en Cali, Colombia. Métodos: estudio prospectivo longitudinal. Durante un periodo de 24 meses se seleccionaron por conveniencia pacientes con EPOC que aceptaron firmar el consentimiento informado. Los pacientes pertenecían a dos programas de RP, uno que realizó RP con educación individual (RPEI) y otro realizó RP con educación individual más grupal (RPEGI). Resultados: ingresaron 48 pacientes, la disnea medida con la escala mMRC mostró mejoría estadísticamente significativa al inicio y al final del programa para ambos grupos, al igual que la distancia recorrida en el TC6M, con una mejoría en metros de 85,9 ± 12 en el grupo RPEGI y de 47,2 ± 19 en el grupo RPEI. Respecto a la ansiedad y depresión, se presentaron disminuciones significativas en la puntuación del HADS solo para el grupo RPEGI (p = 0,0120 y p = 0,001 respectivamente). En el cuestionario SGRQ todos los dominios presentaron cambios significativos para ambos grupos, excepto para el dominio actividad, que solo tuvo mejoría para el grupo RPEGI (p = 0,000). Finalmente, en el cuestionario LINQ los dos grupos mostraron cambios significativos. Conclusión: Todo programa de RP debe desarrollar un componente de educación. En este estudio, los pacientes con EPOC que recibieron educación individual más grupal presentaron mejores resultados al final de la intervención, especialmente en la ansiedad, depresión y el dominio actividad de la CVRS.
