Chorioamnionitis is an acute inflammation of the membranes and chorion of the placenta typically due to ascending polymicrobial infection in the setting of membrane rupture. It is a common complication of pregnancy associated with significant maternal, perinatal, and long‐term adverse outcomes. We present a case of placental infection leading to preterm delivery, severe neonatal sepsis, maternal wound infection, postnatal readmission, and prolonged hospital stay. This virulent infection was caused by multidrug–resistant extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase (ESBL)‐producing Escherichia Coli (E. Coli), which represent a major worldwide threat according to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It was managed with appropriate antibiotic therapy, patient‐centered approach, and multidisciplinary team involvement that led to favourable maternal and neonatal outcome.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life‐threatening complication of diabetes and is considered a medical emergency. Euglycemic DKA (EKDA) is a variant of DKA with a normal or minimally elevated glucose level <200 mg/dl. The condition can be difficult to diagnose due to the relatively normal glucose levels. Pregnancy, infection, and a low‐calorie intake are some of the contributing common etiologies of EDKA. Despite a rapid increase in scientific publications on COVID‐19, there are still knowledge gaps regarding the course of COVID‐19 in some patient subset. This is especially the case for pregnant women. In this case report, we discuss the course of COVID‐19 infection in a pregnant woman with gestational diabetes who developed severe euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis triggered by various precipitating factors, including starvation, caused by COVID‐19 infection and its gastrointestinal effects.
The expansion of gas utilization systems, together with Nigeria's present climate objective, makes CCS a must-do for the country. The Niger Delta Basin has been identified as an excellent setting for carbon capture and storage (CCS), particularly in depleted reservoirs, according to a basin-wide evaluation. However, not all carbon-depleted reservoirs are appropriate for carbon storage. The suitability of the western Niger Delta basin for CCS is assessed in this research. This study looked at five reservoirs in the western section of the basin. The storage capability of the region's reservoirs was assessed using Screening Criteria for Carbon Storage, as well as well logs, seismic, reservoir properties and petrophysical data. These reservoirs are proven to fit several characteristics, including seismicity, size, faulting intensity, reservoir depth, maturity, hydrocarbon potentials, climate, and hydrogeology. The findings of this study may be used as a benchmark for identifying prospective storage locations within the basin and extended to other sedimentary basins.
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.
