DIC-A Nightmare in Obstetrics

Image
Abstract Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC), the most catastrophic obstetric acute emergency, is characterized by an inappropriate activation of coagulation & fibrinolytic system triggered by conditions like abruptio placentae & amniotic fluid embolism (release of thromboplastin intravascularly) or by diffuse endothelial damage as a result of pre-eclampsia. Clinical manifestation of severe bleeding and damaged coagulation profile are hallmarks of diagnosis, although histopathological demonstration of fibrin deposits is the pathognomonic feature of DIC. Understanding the basic pathophysiology, tackling the underlying etiological factor and replacement of the lost blood and specific components cover the principles of management of this condition. Keywords: DIC; FFP; Thromboplastin coagulation failure; Coagulopathy Abbreviations : DIC: Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation; HELLP: Hemolysis Elevated Liver Enzymes and Low Platelets Syndrome; IUFD: Intrauterine Fetal Dea...

Brazilian Butt Lifts: An Editorial_ Crimson Publishers

Brazilian Butt Lifts: An Editorial by Michael Naafs AB in Womens Health Journals_ Gynecology Open Access Journal Abstract In this editorial risks and benefits of buttock enhancement are discussed with a special emphasis on Brazilian butt lift procedures. Hopefully, brain enhancement is winning from buttock enhancement. Introduction It is rather strange to read at International Women’s Day the first report of a buttock implant leading to fatal lymphoma, a complication that we know until now only of breast implants [1,2] Buttock enhancement is mostly performed with autologous fat injection rather than with silicone implants. However, these Brazilian butt lift procedures are the deadliest in aesthetic surgery. One in every 3000 patients dies of a fat embolism. Injecting fat into the buttocks can easily lead to serious problems if done incorrectly [3]. Most of the 33 deaths have been attributed to unqualified doctors, but underreporting is very likely. Besides fatal fat embol...

The Human Papillomavirus Vaccine: The Past, the Present, and the Future by Samantha Docos BS in Womens Health_ Gynecology Open access journal The development of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is one of the great public health accomplishments of the 21st century. The roots of this success can be traced back thousands of years. Ancient Greeks and Romans made the first tentative steps in this journey by identifying genital warts as a sexually transmitted disease [1]. It would not be until 1907, however, with the novel field of microbiology entering full swing that Ciuffo would confirm the infectious nature of genital warts [2]. Viral particles were confirmed as the infectious vector in the 1940s [3]. HPV was first described as a dsDNA virus in 1965 [4]. https://crimsonpublishers.com/igrwh/fulltext/IGRWH.000525.php For more open access journals in Crimson publishers Please click on the link https://crimsonpublishers.com/ For more articles in Gynecology Open access journal Plea...
