Cerebral Sinus Venous Thrombosis in Postpartum Period: A Case Report


A 24-year-old woman at 41 weak gestational age underwent epidural anesthesia and normal vaginal

delivery. After 7 days of delivery, patient referred to our hospital with severe headache, left paresthesia,

and tonic-clonic seizure. During this period, the patient suffered a headache that was attributed to the

epidural anesthetic. Radiologic assessments showed thrombosis at superior sagittal sinus. Cerebral

Sinus Venous Thrombosis (CSVT) is a rare disease. The annual incidence is estimated to be about 5 per

million, which is affected by age, sex, and areas. Pregnancy, postpartum, use of oral contraceptive and

abortions are major risk factors. It is difficult to diagnose the disease from eclampsia during pregnancy

and puerperium. Due to the high mortality rate of this disease, timely diagnosis and treatment should be

considered. Treatment with anticoagulants should be done immediately.

The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is having potentially disastrous consequences for women’s and girls’ health around the world. Global health officials are struggling to keep the COVID-19 pandemic from wreaking havoc on women’s health. With domestic violence and maternal mortality expected to rise as women lose access to critical health treatments and social support. With children out of school, growing care needs for older people, and overburdened health services, unpaid care work has increased. Women make about 70% of the global health workforce and are more likely to work in front-line positions like nurses, midwives, and community health workers, in particular workers in the medical field. They also make up the majority of health-care workers, such as nurses and therapists. As such, they provide cleaning, laundry, and catering services are more likely to come into contact with the virus. All public health preparedness and response strategies for COVID-19 must account for both direc...

Genetic Characteristics of Oocytes and Somatic Cells of Ovarian Follicles in Humans

Image
Mini Review Since most of the RNAs/proteins that support the initial phases of embryogenesis are accumulated during oocyte growth [1], knowledge about the effects of oocyte quality on embryo development plays a crucial role in the development of adequate assisted reproduction techniques. In this sense, understanding the requirements of oocytes recovered from different sized follicles is very important to optimize IVM and IVF of oocytes, which can have an excellent impact on the number of embryos produced in vitro. It will also allow analysis of the developmental potential of oocytes at different stages of development, the pattern of gene expression, the epigenetic modifications and the cytogenetic disorders in various domestic species, including humans [2].
