Abstract:
BackgroundVirtual reality (VR) is an effective distraction therapy across a variety of healthcare settings but there is minimal research on its potential applications within obstetrics and gynaecology.AimTo explore the acceptability and preferences for VR as distraction therapy within obstetrics and gynaecology.MethodsQuestionnaires were developed and administered to seek both obstetric and gynaecology women’s and staff members’ opinions on VR use within clinical settings and hardware and software options. Likert scales were used to explore opinions on VR. Data were analysed by descriptive statistics.Results247 questionnaires were completed (90 obstetric and 157 gynaecology). On average 57% of women and 75% of staff felt positively about trialling VR within obstetric and gynaecology clinical settings. For hardware, glasses were the preferred head equipment but there were no clear preferences for image viewing. For software, ‘beach’ was the most popular environment and accompanying audio favoured. Women’s and staff members’ opinion on complete immersion was largely negative.ConclusionsThere is wide acceptability for VR within obstetrics and gynaecology. Differing opinions for specific hardware and software preferences prompts consideration of clinical settings, end-users and healthcare professionals in the design of future VR technologies and clinical trials for obstetrics and gynaecology.

Abstract:
The founding of DSOG On a dark evening on October 5th, 1898, the ”Forening for Gynækologi og Obstetrik i København, Association for Gynaecology and Obstetrics in Copenhagen”, was founded at a meeting in the Fødselsstiftelsen [Institution for Delivery] in Amaliegade in Copenhagen. The association was the first association for a medical specialty in Denmark, preceding all other medical specialties. Birth assistance has evidently been practiced since the very beginning of mankind, although only much more recently as an obstetric discipline by doctors and midwives. The specialty of gynaecology was in 1898 relatively new, and the boundary between surgery and gynaecology was still being discussed. In 1960 the name of the association was changed to Danish Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (DSOG) and for the sake of consistency, this name will mostly be used in this narration. At the founding meeting in 1998 eighteen middle-aged or elderly men attended. New members needed to be invited - one could not just register as you do today. Two founding fathers will be emphasized.

Full text
Abstract:
In 1996, a RCOG Study Group reporting on the prevention of pelvic infection highlighted the considerable role C. trachomatis played in female reproductive morbidity and the potential advantages of DNA based assays.  A national screening programme was suggested, as Sweden and the USA had demonstrated that screening women could decrease prevalence and pelvic inflammatory disease rates. In the UK, out with genito-urinary medicine clinics, awareness of the infection and screening was virtually non-existent.  Women attending obstetric and gynaecology-affiliated clinics were at increased risk of ascending infection compared to the general public and ideally placed for opportunistic screening.  However, patients were TESTED only if symptomatic, by specimens taken from the endocervix for culture or antigen detection assay.  It was from this background that the studies commenced.  The thesis comprises of: -  A questionnaire survey assessing sexually active women’s knowledge of C. trachomatis infection and perceived acceptability of different methods and settings for screening.  Women attending induced abortion and family planning clinics in Aberdeen and Leeds were recruited. -  A prevalence study, aiming to identify who should undergo screening.  Sexually active women attending six different clinical settings in Aberdeen’s Obstetrics & Gynaecology department were screened for Chlamydia. -  A study assessing test performance and acceptability of four different screening approaches (enzyme immunoassay of endocervical specimens and ligase chain reaction assay of endocervical, clinician-collected vulva!, and urine specimens) to opportunistically screen pregnant and non-pregnant women, under 25 years of age. -  A study evaluating patient-collected vulval swabs, as an alternative to non-invasive screening by urine.  Women under 25 years of age attending a family planning clinic were opportunistically screened and test performance and acceptability evaluated. -  A study determining whether the measurement of chlamydial IgG antibodies alone or in combination with medical history and/or transvaginal ultrasound can predict tubal infertility in subfertile women.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of outpatient hysteroscopy in modern gynaecological care by conducting a series of systematic reviews and meta-analyses to examine how the procedure can be optimised to reduce pain and by performing a cost effectiveness analysis. The systematic reviews concluded that women undergoing outpatient hysteroscopy should take simple analgesia beforehand and that the hysteroscopist should adopt a vaginoscopic approach using a small diameter, rigid hysteroscope and normal saline as the distension medium. If dilatation of the cervix is required this should be done under a paracervical block. These findings were incorporated into a clinical guideline and the quality of the evidence that the reviews provided was assessed using the SIGN and GRADE methods. A comparison of the assessments found that they gave varying estimates of the quality of evidence and that neither offered a perfect solution to the assessment of evidence quality when writing clinical guidance. The economic analysis found that initial testing with outpatient hysteroscopy was the most cost-effective testing strategy for investigation of heavy menstrual bleeding when compared to other diagnostic tests, regardless of a woman’s wish for future fertility or prior treatment with a levonorgestrel intrauterine system.

Full text
Abstract:
Background:   Porphyrias are inherited disorders with impaired heme biosynthesis. Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is the most common porphyria in Sweden. AIP attacks may be life-threatening. Female sex hormones are regarded as important precipitating factors. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a severe complication in the older AIP population. The aim of the thesis was to describe the clinical expression of AIP in women, experience of hormonal contraception and hormonal replacement therapies (HRT) and of pregnancies. Secondly, we evaluated gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist treatment for prevention of menstrual-cycle-related AIP attacks. Thirdly, we evaluated whether an altered sex-steroid metabolism was present in AIP women compared with controls. Finally, we evaluated the benefit of screening for HCC in AIP in a 15-year follow-up study. Methods and results: In a retrospective population-based study in northern Sweden, 166 female AIP gene carriers ≥18 years of age participated. Manifest AIP (MAIP) was reported in 55%; 82% had severe attacks and 39% had menstrual-cycle-related attacks. Hormonal contraceptives were used by 94, and 12 reported that this precipitated AIP attacks. HRT and local vaginal treatments in menopause did not precipitate AIP attacks. Only 10% reported impairment of AIP symptoms during pregnancy. In the retrospective follow-up study of GnRH-agonist treatment, 11 of 14 women improved during treatment. Porphyria attacks were triggered in two women after estradiol add-back and in 5 of 9 women after progesterone add-back. In the sex-steroid metabolism study, levels of s-progesterone, estradiol, allopregnanolone and pregnanolone during the menstrual cycle in 32 AIP gene carriers were compared with 20 healthy controls. Progesterone metabolism in the AIP group differed from controls. In the AIP group levels of allopregnanolone, but not pregnanolone, were significantly lower. In the prospective HCC screening study AIP gene carriers aged >55 years were included. On average 62 subjects participated during 15 years. HCC was diagnosed in 22 of 180 eligible AIP gene carriers in the region (male:female, 12:10, 73% MAIP). The annual incidence of HCC was 0.8%. The risk of HCC was 64-fold higher than in the general population over 50 years of age in this region, and even higher for AIP women (93-fold). Increased 3- and 5-year survival was seen in the regularly screened AIP group. Liver lab tests were not useful in HCC screening. Conclusion: The clinical expression of AIP in women is pronounced and menstrual-cycle-related attacks are common. Hormonal contraceptives can induce AIP attacks and caution is recommended. GnRH-agonist treatment can ameliorate menstrual-cycle-related attacks of porphyria. Dose findings for GnRH-agonists and add-back regimes, especially for progesterone, are intricate. Progesterone metabolism in the AIP group differs from that in healthy controls. HCC screening in AIP gene carriers >50 years of age enables early diagnosis and a possibility for curative treatments. Annual HCC screening with liver imaging is recommended in AIP gene carriers >50 years of age.

Abstract:
Background: Clinical officers perform much of major emergency surgery in Malawi, in the absence of medical officers. The aim of this study was to validate the advantages and disadvantages of delegation of major obstetric surgery to non-doctors. Methods: During a three month period, data from 2131 consecutive obstetric surgeries in 38 district hospitals in Malawi were collected prospectively. The interventions included caesarean sections alone and those that were combined with other interventions such as subtotal and total hysterectomy repair of uterine rupture and tubal ligation. All these surgeries were conducted either by clinical officers or by medical officers. Results: During the study period, clinical officers performed 90% of all standard caesarean sections, 70% of those combined with subtotal hysterectomy, 60% of those combined with total hysterectomy and 89% of those combined with repair of uterine rupture. A comparable profile of patients was operated on by clinical officers and medical officers, respectively. Postoperative outcomes were almost identical in the two groups in terms of maternal general condition = both immediately and 24 hours postoperatively - and regarding occurrence of pyrexia, wound infection, wound dehiscence, need for re-operation, neonatal outcome or maternal death. Conclusion: Clinical officers perform the bulk of emergency obstetric operations, including complicated procedures, at district (level 1) hospitals in Malawi. The postoperative outcomes of their procedures are comparable to those of medical officers. Clinical officers constitute a crucial component of the health care team in Malawi for saving maternal and neonatal lives given the scarcity of physicians.

Full text
Abstract:
Introduction: The Accurate estimation of foetal weight is of paramount importance in modern obstetrics for management of labour and delivery. During the past two decades estimated foetal weight is incorporated into the standard routine antepartum evaluation of high-risk pregnancy & deliveries. Present study was conducted to estimation fetal weight by clinical method and by ultrasonography and to nd out its correlation with actual birth weight in term pregnancy. The cross-sectional Material and Methods: observational study was conducted in outpatient or inpatient Obstetric section of Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology and USG section of Department of Radio-diagnosis of A.C.P.M. Medical College and Hospital, Dhule, Maharashtra. Most of the study Observations & Results: subjects were between 24-28 years of age 53.5% with mean age of 24.71 years. The mean Hadlock weight was 2705 ± 469 gm, while the actual birth weight was 2805 ± 465 gm. The difference was found to be statistically signicant (p<0.05). The difference in Dare's clinical method was found to be 73.3 ± 49.8 gm, while the Hadlock difference was found to be 103.1 ± 77.4 gm. There was a very strong, positive, statistically signicant correlation seen between Dare Weight and Actual Weight (p<0.05). There was a very strong, positive, statistically signicant correlation seen between Hadlock Weight and Actual Weight (p<0.05). Thus, major ndi Conclusion: ng from this study is that clinical estimation of fetal weight is as accurate as the ultrasonographic method of estimation within the normal birth weight range. Our study has important implication as in developing country like India, where ultrasound is not available in many health care delivery systems specially in rural areas where clinical method is easy, cost effective, simple, accurate and can be used even by midwives.
