Image
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.

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...

Cesarean Section Epidemic in Iranian Midwives_ Crimson publishers

Image
Cesarean Section Epidemic in Iranian Midwives by Somayeh M in Womens Health Journal Opinion In the last century, caesarean section (C/S) has played a positive role in settling pregnancy complications and reducing the fetal and maternal mortality, but a worrying issue in modern midwifery is the high rate of C/S. According to the World Health Organization, the C/S rate should not exceed 10-15% of all births in any part of the world, but published statistics in many parts of the world, especially in Iran, differed greatly from this ratio and are very higher. C/S is a major operation that has complications such as maternal death, hemorrhage, infection , need for blood transfusion, dense internal adhesions, thromboembolic, urinary retention, bladder injury, and anesthetic complication. Furthermore, an increase in the rate of C/S in a country may cause a high cost to the health system. In recent decades, it seems that there is a general tendency for C/S among both health care ...
