We say that a graph G is maximal K p -free if G does not contain K p but if we add any new edge e ∈ E(G) to G, then the graph G + e contains K p . We study the minimum and maximum size of non-(p − 1)-partite maximal K p -free graphs with n vertices. We also answer the interpolation question: 10

Labial fusion is defined as either partial or complete adherence of the labia minora. It is also known as vulvar fusion, labial adhesion, labial agglutination or synechia of the vulva. This condition is common in pre-pubertal girls when estrogen levels are low and commonly resolves spontaneously post-puberty. This condition is usually asymptomatic and can be treated with topical application of estrogen or betamethasone cream or by manual or surgical separation of adhesions. We present a case of labial fusion in post pubertal girl which was managed surgically.

Background: Whether serum progesterone (P4) level on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger is related to the outcome of artificial reproductive technology (ART) is still a debatable issue. The objective of this study was to evaluate relationship between serum Progesterone levels on the day of hCG trigger and ICSI outcome.Method: This was a retrospective, non-interventional, observational, cohort study of patients undergoing ICSI at 21st Century Group of Hospitals, Killa Pardi and Surat, Gujarat during the period of January 2018 to March 2018. Patients with age group of 20-40 years who underwent ICSI-ET using GnRH antagonist flexible protocol during this period, had obtained 2 or more MII oocytes during retrieval and had at least one grade I embryo transferred were included in this study. Women using donor oocytes were excluded. Serum progesterone levels were analysed on day of hCG trigger. Total 165 patients were included in the study. They were divided into two groups, those with β-hCG less than or equal to 1.5 ng/ml and those with β-hCG more than 1.5 ng/ml. Student's t test and Chi square test were used to compare the clinical pregnancy rates between two groups.Results: Clinical pregnancy rate decreases with increase in serum progesterone levels on the day of hCG trigger. Patients with serum progesterone levels ≤1.5 ng/ml had significantly higher clinical pregnancy rates than those with progesterone levels >1.5 ng/ml (45% vs 6%; p :<0.001).Conclusion: Pre-hCG rise in serum Progesterone concentration does not affect the oocyte quality. But, it significantly decreases the chances of implantation and the clinical pregnancy rates.

Background Objectives of the current study were to find the most effective method of induction of labour in case of intrauterine foetal death (IUFD), with efficacy described as least induction-to-delivery time, and the agent with the best safety profile, i.e. least maternal complications. Methods This was a prospective observational descriptive study carried out between January and November 2015 in a tertiary care centre. Hundred consecutive cases of IUFD after 20 weeks of gestation requiring induction of labour and fulfilling inclusion criteria were selected. The method of induction decided by each consultant was noted, and results were analysed. As this was a purely observational study, all agents used for induction of labour (misoprostol, dinoprostone gel, intracervical Foley catheter) and all dose variations were included. ResultsThe induction-to-delivery interval was shortest with dinoprostone (12.52 h) followed by Foley catheter (13.28 h) and misoprostol (15.82 h). However, the p value (0.301) was not statistically significant. Misoprostol was used more often in second trimester, while dinoprostone gel was most commonly used in third trimester. Failure
