OBJECTIVE:To determine the maternal morbidity associated with intrauterine fetal death (IUFD). STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. STUDY DURATION: 11 months MATERIALS AND METHODS: Mothers having singleton pregnancy with intrauterine death at 28 weeks of gestation or more visiting Fatima Memorial Hospital were included in the study. The main outcome measures were assessed by taking into account the maternal age, parity, gestational age at the time of fetal death, Interval between intrauterine fetal demise and delivery and the mode of delivery. RESULTS: 124 patients within trauterine fetal demise were included in the study. Among them 108 patients (87.4%) were delivered by vaginal route and 16 (12.6%) by cesarean section.12 out of 16 patients (75%) who were delivered by cesarean section developed post-operative problems like post-partum hemorrhage, endometritis, urinary tract infection and wound dehisence, while 12% of mothers delivered by vaginal route gotperineal tears, urinary tract infection and puerperal pyrexia. There was no maternal death. CONCLUSION: Maternal morbidity like urinary tract infection,

BACKGROUND In this age of technology, the teaching-learning process is dependent on various teaching aids available in the classroom. Medical education is no exception. Feedback of students is vital in this regard. This study was done to assess the perception of 9 th semester under graduate medical students regarding three different teaching aids (i.e. chalk & blackboard, overhead projector and power point presentation) during gynaecology lecture. METHODS The cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018 among undergraduate medical students of 9 th semester, at the department of obstetrics & gynaecology in Calcutta National Medical College, Kolkata, West Bengal, India to evaluate the opinions regarding three teaching aids (black board, overhead projector and power point presentation) used during gynaecology lectures. Students' feedback was collected by administering pre-structured forced choice questionnaire after completion of fifteen classes with the three teaching aids.

BACKGROUND Ovulatory disorders account for about 30-40% of all causes of female infertility. Normal ovulation requires co-ordination of neuroendocrinal system at all levels. Clomiphene citrate, human chorionic gonadotropin, human menopausal gonadotropin, metformin are the commonly used drugs for ovulation induction. They are used alone or in combination with ultrasound monitoring. Ovulation is characterized by a decrease in the size of a monitored ovarian follicle and by the appearance of fluid in the cul-de sac by ultrasound. We wanted to evaluate the effects of ovulation inducing agents like ovulation rate (by ultrasound monitoring), viable pregnancy rate (≥28 weeks), abortion rate and side effects like multiple pregnancies & ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) in a case of primary or secondary infertility.
