    الوصف: Background The relationship between early life factors and childhood pulmonary function and structure in preterm infants remains unclear. Purpose This study investigated the impact of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and perinatal factors on childhood pulmonary function and structure. Methods This longitudinal cohort study included preterm participants aged ≥5 years born between 2005 and 2015. The children were grouped by BPD severity according to National Institutes of Health criteria. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were performed using spirometry. Chest computed tomography (CT) scans were obtained and scored for hyperaeration or parenchymal lesions. PFT results and chest CT scores were analyzed with perinatal factors. Results A total 150 children (66 females) aged 7.7 years (6.4–9.9 years) were categorized into non/mild BPD (n=68), moderate BPD (n=39), and severe BPD (n=43) groups. The median z score for forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC ratio, and forced midexpiratory flow (FEF25%–75%) were significantly lower in the severe versus non/mild BPD group (-1.24 vs. -0.18, -0.22 vs. 0.41, -1.80 vs. -1.12, and -1.88 vs. -1.00, respectively; all P

    الوصف: Amniotic fluid surrounds the fetus in uterus, protects him from outside injury, from infectious agents and has thermoregulating properties. Furthermore, it allows for its normal growth and development. The volume of amniotic fluid is a result of balance between fluid production and fluid movement out of the gestational sac. Oligohydramnios and anhydramnios are defined as decreased amniotic volume for gestational age or absent amniotic fluid, respectively. They can be associated with many maternal, fetal and placental causes, while some cases remain of unexplained etiology. Here, we present a case of a newborn, who presented with acute kidney injury due to uteroplacental dysfunction and oligohydramnios.

    الوصف: Abstract Background The prevalence of oligohydramnios ranges from 12 to 14% after 41 weeks to as high as 30% in post term pregnancies. Oligohydramnios poses a dilemma in the choice of mode of labor and delivery in a setup where there is lack of continuous electronic fetal monitoring during labor. The condition also puts the mother at risks of operative interventions and cesarean delivery. We aimed to asses the maternal and perinatal outcomes in pregnancies with oligohydramnios in late term and post term pregnancy in this study. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among mothers with diagnosis of oligohydramnios after 40+ 6 weeks of gestation at four hospitals at four public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from May 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021. Data were collected using structured questionnaire. Logistic regression were performed to assess factors associated with the adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. Results From a total of 142 mothers with oligohydramnios in late term and post tem pregnancies, 40.8% delivered through cesarean section. Spontaneous labor and elective cesarean section were more likely to occurr in parous women (AOR 2.5, 95% CI 1.06–6.04, p = 0.04), but with less likely in those with secondary level education (AOR 0.13, 95% CI 0.02–0.74, p = 0.02). There was no statistically significant difference in adverse outcomes between those who had induction of labor and those who had either spontaneous labor or had elective cesarean section. Conclusions The adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes in late term and post term pregnancies with oligohydramnios may not be different among different modes of delivery. Induction of labor can be safe in these particular group of women with intermittent auscultation with fetoscope in a setup where continuous electronic fetal monitoring is not readily available.

    الوصف: IntroductionDiagnosis of prenatal megacystis has a significant impact on the pregnancy, as it can have severe adverse effects on fetal and neonatal survival and renal and pulmonary function. The study aims to investigate the natural history of fetal megacystis, to try to differentiate in utero congenital lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) from non-obstructive megacystis, and, possibly, to predict postnatal outcome.Materials and methodsA retrospective single-center observational study was conducted from July 2015 to November 2023. The inclusion criteria were a longitudinal bladder diameter (LBD) >7 mm in the first trimester or an overdistended/thickened-walled bladder failing to empty in the second and third trimesters. Close ultrasound follow-up, multidisciplinary prenatal counseling, and invasive and non-invasive genetic tests were offered. Informed consent for fetal autopsy was obtained in cases of termination of pregnancy or intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD). Following birth, neonates were followed up at the same center. Patients were stratified based on diagnosis: LUTO (G1), urogenital anomalies other than LUTO (“non-LUTO”) (G2), and normal urinary tract (G3).ResultsThis study included 27 fetuses, of whom 26 were males. Megacystis was diagnosed during the second and third trimesters in 92% of the fetuses. Of the 27 fetuses, 3 (11.1%) underwent an abortion, and 1 had IUFD. Twenty-three newborns were live births (85%) at a mean gestational age (GA) of 34 ± 2 weeks. Two patients (neonates) died postnatally due to severe associated malformations. Several prenatal parameters were evaluated to differentiate patients with LUTO from those with non-LUTO, including the severity of upper tract dilatation, keyhole sign, oligohydramnios, LBD, and GA at diagnosis. However, none proved predictive of the postnatal diagnosis. Similarly, none of the prenatal parameters evaluated were predictive of postnatal renal function.DiscussionThe diagnosis of megacystis in the second and third trimesters was associated with live births in up to 85% of cases, with LUTO identified as the main cause of fetal megacystis. This potentially more favorable outcome, compared to the majority reported in literature, should be taken into account in prenatal counseling. Megacystis is an often misinterpreted antennal sign that may hide a wide range of diagnoses with different prognoses, beyond an increased risk of adverse renal and respiratory outcomes.

    الوصف: Abstract Objective To compare the renal artery (RA) flow indices (RI and PI) among normohydramnios, idiopathic oligohydramnios, and polyhydramnios and determine applicability of fetal RA Doppler indices in predicting the pregnancy outcome. Methods Total 106 3rd trimester pregnant patients were divided into cases and controls based on amniotic fluid index. Routine antenatal and color Doppler (including kidneys) ultrasound was performed for all patients in this study. The postnatal follow‐up was done, and the pregnancies having poor outcomes in terms of NICU admissions were assessed. Results Statistically significant differences were noted when comparing RI and PI values of normohydramnios (0.91 ± 0.04 and 2.38 ± 0.21, respectively) with oligohydramnios (1.02 ± 0.07 and 2.99 ± 0.38, respectively) and polyhydramnios (0.90 ± 0.12 and 2.7 ± 0.84, respectively) independently (p value

    الوصف: Introduction: Tobacco exposure during pregnancy has a negative influence on fetal growth. Maternal smoking causes placental vaso­constriction and fetal growth restriction (FGR). In India, the tobacco industry employs women to hand roll cigarettes called bidis. A bidi roller handles 120 g of tobacco and therefore 3 g of nicotine per day. Aim: To evaluate the effect of occupational tobacco handling by pregnant women on fetal growth and wellbeing. Methods: In this cohort study, 177 pregnant bidi rollers (exposed cohort) and 354 pregnant non-rollers (unexposed cohort) were followed up from 18-22 weeks of pregnancy until delivery with fetal sonogram and Doppler. Fetal surveillance data (including fetal biometry, Doppler indices, amniotic fluid index, biophysical profile and placentation) were recorded and compared. Maternal nicotine absorption was quantified by serum cotinine. Intergroup differences and relative risk (RR) were determined by Chi-square test (or Fisher exact when the count was ≤ 5), and adjusted odds ratio (OR) by binary logistic regression. Intrauterine growth trend was plotted. Results: Fetal surveillance results were ab­normal in 37.9% of the tobacco-exposed group, with a RR of 1.6 (p = 0.001) and adjusted OR of 1.8 (p = 0.005) in comparison with the unex­posed group. Nicotine absorption was evident in 28.4% of the bidi rollers that had abnormal fetal surveillance results. The mean estimated fetal weight and head circumference demonstrated a sustained deceleration, starting at 28-30 weeks of gestation, in the exposed group. Doppler data suggested fetal adaptation to maintain cerebral circulation. We found a higher frequency of oligohydramnios (statistically significant), pla­cental abruption (not statistically significant), and placenta previa (not statistically significant) in the tobacco-exposed group. Conclusions: Occupational tobacco handling in bidi rollers resulted in early-onset symmetric FGR and compromised wellbeing. Pregnant women with any form of tobacco exposure require vigilant fetal surveillance.

    الوصف: Abstract The amniotic fluid is a protective liquid found in amniotic found in the amniotic sac and mainly containing water and some solid substances including epitheloid and fibroblastic type cells. Most of the studies conducted about amniotic fluid volume (AFV) reported fetal and placental factors as a determinant of AFV. The aim of this study is to examine maternal and obstetric conditions in relation to AFV among women with term pregnancies. A multicenter institutional based cross‐sectional study was conducted among clients attending selected public hospitals of South Gondar Zone, Ethiopia from January 01, 2023 to May 30, 2023. The sample size was calculated by using the assumption of single population proportion formula considering the prevalence value of 50%, 95% confidence interval, and margin of error 5% and 10% non respondent rate. In our study rural residency AOR = 3.21 (1.19–5.37), chronic illness AOR = 2.12 (1.33–4.61), short inter pregnancy interval AOR = 3.03 (2.18–6.28), Hypermesis gravidarum AOR = 1.19 (1.02–4.41), and maternal diabetics AOR = 2.16 (1.32–4.75) had significant association with the outcome variable. These maternal conditions may be correlated with an abnormal volume of amniotic fluid.

    الوصف: Background: Variation in the amniotic fluid reflects fetal compromise, and congenital anomalies and also may predict perinatal morbidity and mortality. Methods: Singleton pregnancy subjects with well-established dates at ≥28 weeks of gestational age were taken into study. These subjects were ultrasonographically diagnosed to have abnormal liquor volumes. This study was a hospital-based single-center prospective observational study conducted in Midnapore medical college and hospital, west Bengal. The chi-square test was applied for statistical significance and a p<0.05 was considered to be significant. Results: In all subjects of abnormal liquor volume, the incidence of oligohydramnios and polyhydramnios are in the proportion of 3:1 in our study. Postdated pregnancy (28.4%), hypertensive disease (16.8%), intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) (12.6%), and anemia (2.2%) were associated with oligohydramnios. Congenital anomalies (23.3%), GDM (16.6%), and Rh-incompatibility (3.3%) were associated with polyhydramnios. The incidence of caesarean section, meconium-stained liquor and 5-minute APGAR score <7 and NICU admission was higher in the oligohydramnios group as compared to polyhydramnios. In abnormal liquor volume, the statistical association was significant with onset of labour (p=0.00), mode of delivery (p=0.00), the colour of liquor(p-0.00), and fetal outcome (p=0.00). Conclusions: Postdated pregnancy, IUGR, and hypertensive disorders were associated with oligohydramnios and congenital anomalies, and GDM and Rh-isoimmunization were associated with polyhydramnios. In abnormal liquor volume onset of labour, mode of delivery, the colour of the liquor, and fetal outcome were significant.
