The incidence of a normal live foetus along with a partial molar placenta is extremely rare. Although triploidy is the most frequent association, a foetus with normal karyotype can survive in cases of partial molar pregnancy. A case is reported in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka that of partial molar placenta in which a live male baby was delivered at 34 weeks gestation by a 25 years old woman. At the 23rd week, ultrasonographic examination revealed a normal foetus with a huge, multicystic placenta. There were per vaginal bleeding up to the 34th gestational weeks. The patient underwent an emergency caesarean section and delivered a 1.6 kg male baby. The baby was admitted in SCABU. The foetus was normal and no complication was there. Key words: Live foetus with molar pregnancy; emergency caesarean section. DOI: 10.3329/jdmc.v18i1.6313 J Dhaka Med Coll. 2009; 18(1) : 82-84

Background: Long duration use of hormonal contraceptives can cause different metabolic effects. Objective: The purpose for the present study was to see the relationship between long duration of use of hormonal contraceptives and serum lipid profiles. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology in collaboration with the Biochemistry Department at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2004 to December 2005 for eighteen (18) months. Women of reproductive age group who had given the history of taking low-dose oral contraceptive pills (OCP) containing 30 meg ethinyloestradiol (EE) plus 150 meg levonorgestrel (LNG) were included as study population. The women were divided into group A which was consisted of women who were using OCP for up to 5 years and group B who were using OCP for more than 5 years. Blood was collected from each woman in fasting state and serum was sent for estimation of serum lipids profiles like serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL and HDL. Result: The women in group A was consisted of 20 women and the rest 20 women were in group B. Comparison of mean age between control and case groups showed no significant difference (31.75±4.85 vs 30.43±5.44 years). In women using OCP ≤5 years and >5 years, the mean (±SD) cholesterol levels were 252.50±48.86 and 239.55±48.73 mg/dl (p>0.10), triglyceride levels were 204.30±48.10 and 191.45±67.89 mg/dL (p>0.10), HDL levels were 42.82±8.96 and 43.00±6.46 (p>0.10) and LDL levels were 168.83±50.82 and 158.26±50.32 (p>0.10) respectively. Conclusion: The level of total cholesterol and triglycerides are not significantly varied with long duration (more than 5 years) of oral contraceptive pills use.

Background Preeclampsia (PE) is a major cause of maternal and foetal mortality and morbidity.

Background: Post-partum haemorrhage condition is a serious condition after delivery. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to see the efficacy and safety of misoprostol for the prevention of post-partum haemorrhage. Methodology: This analytic cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH), Mymensingh, Bangladesh from January 2006 to June 2006 for a period of six months. Pregnant women who were admitted in MMCH during the above period and were expected to have vaginal delivery and women at term with singleton pregnancy were included as study population. Women were divided into 2 groups. Women were in the group A who were treated with misoprostol and women who were treated with oxytocin were in group B. Blood loss during delivery was estimated subjectively by the attending obstetrician. Results: A total number of 100 women were recruited for this study of which 50 women were in the group A and the rest of 50 women were in group B. In this study majority of the patients were belonged to age group 20 to 25 years in both the groups. In oxytocin group 2.0% have developed nausea, 4.0% patients have developed shivering. None have developed vomiting, diarrhoea, temperature. In misoprostol group 10.0% patients have developed nausea, 18.0% patients have developed shivering, 4.0% patients have developed rise of temperature, none have developed diarrhoea, vomiting. The differences were statistically significant. In this study 4.0% patients from oxytocin group and 2.0% patient from misoprostol group required blood transfusion. Conclusion: In conclusion less amount of blood loss is found in misoprostol group than oxytocin group.

Background: Duration of oral contraceptive use is an important issue for the development of dyslipidemia among women. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to see the duration of use of OCP and the development of dyslipidemia among the women. (1) year. Women using low-dose OC pill for more than one year were considered as cases group while women not using low-dose oral contraceptive pill were taken as control group of the study. Lipid profiles were performed in the laboratory in the fasting state from blood. Result: A total of 80 subjects were recruited for this study of which 40 women in case group and the rest 40 women were in control group. Duration of contraceptive use and serum lipids profiles were recorded. Level of serum total cholesterol, serum triglyceride, and serum LDL were significantly higher among the contraceptive users of > 5 years duration than those among 5 or < 5 years duration (p < 0.001). However, serum HDL level was low among both users and non-users (p=0.556). The risk of developing dyslipidaemia in women using low-dose oral contraceptive was more than 3-fold higher than that in non-users. Conclusion: In conclusion the greater the duration of oral contraceptive use the higher is the chance of dyslipidaemia.
