Introduction: Ectopic pregnancy can present as an acute life‑threatening emergency when it ruptures and accounts for about 10% of all maternal mortalities; therefore, it is imperative to diagnose the unruptured ectopic pregnancy such that timely intervention will prevent morbidity and mortality. The fallopian tube is the most common site for ectopic pregnancy (90-95%). With an increasing incidence of ectopic pregnancy worldwide, a histopathological study of the resected fallopian tubes becomes important to look for predisposing/associated findings such as acute salpingitis, chronic salpingitis and salpingitis isthmica nodosa (SIN). Objectives: The aim was to study the clinical presentation of ectopic pregnancy and its association with various factors like age and gravida status. It also aims to study the histomorphology of the fallopian tubes with ectopic gestation and note the presence of predisposing factors such as acute salpingitis, chronic salpingitis and SIN. Materials and Methods: A total of 79 specimens of ectopic pregnancy received in Department of Pathology for a retrospective period of 2.5-years from January 2019 to May 2021 were reviewed.
Background and Objective: A new pathogen of high contagious abilities named Corona virus was seen to target pregnant women due to physiologic changes in their immune system, cardiopulmonary and coagulation system leading to poor fetus-maternal outcome. Thus, to determine maternal and fetal outcome in pregnant women affected with COVID-19 and its frequency of vertical transmission is the main objective of the study. Methods: This is a prospective study of 50 pregnant women with RTPCR confirmed COVID-19 infection between 1st March 2021 and 1st August 2021. The foetal and maternal outcome, frequency of vertical transmission, mode of delivery, presenting symptoms and Level of serum markers such as LDH and CRP were noted. Results: Among 50 patients, 68% delivered through Caesarean section 34% delivered vaginally. The most common presenting symptom was fever in 50% patients. Other symptoms were running nose, headache, myalgia, loss of smell and taste.68% patients had raised Serum LDH level and 26% patient had raised Serum CRP level. The maternal condition was taken into account based on source of oxygen saturation by monitoring Spo2 level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
