Abstract:
Abstract Background: Research conducted at the Central General Hospital (RSUP) Dr. Kariadi Semarang in 2013 stated that out of 1,719 deliveries, 82 (5%) were preterm labor cases. Although there are many predictors for predicting imminent preterm labour, the complete prediction and prevention have not been established. Prevention of preterm labor through screening is the key to antenatal care. Good early prediction on a premature labor will provide adequate antenatal surveillance and special interventions.Objective: to analyze the relationship between cervical length, bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infections, and premature rupture of membranes with the incidence of preterm labor.Methods: It is an observational analytic study in the form of the design of cross sectional with subject of pregnant women who experienced imminent preterm labour at gestational age 28-34 weeks and were treated at the ward of Obstetrics Gynecology Hospital Dr. Kariadi Semarang and network hospital during the study period (n=112). Subjects were assessed for the clinical risk (BV, premature rupture of the membrane, urinary tract infection) and sonography (cervical length). Statistical analysis was performed with paired t-test for normally distributed data and Mann Whitney if otherwise. Analysis of the relationship between variables and the incidence of preterm labor was carried out by the X 2 testResults: From 112 subjects, it was found that the Prevalence Ratio (PR) for cervical length, bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infections and premature rupture of membranes to the incidence of imminent preterm labor was 2.2;2.32;1.99 and 2.36 respectively. From the multivariate analysis, it was found that bacterial vaginosis and premature rupture of membranes were the most influencing factors for the incidence of imminent premature labor with Odd Ratios of 6.497 and 21.362, respectively.Conclusion: There is a relationship between cervical length (≤25 mm ), bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infections and premature rupture of membranes in the incidence of preterm labor.

Abstract:
Background: Prevention of the premature birth occurrence remains is considered one of the most tough challenges for obstetricians worldwide, mainly to avoid neonatal prematurity complications leading to short and long term morbidities additionally prematurity prevention will reduce premature neonatal mortality rates which is considered a major health concern of obstetricians, neonatologists and families. Objective: To compare and contrast the efficacy of Sildenafil citrate, Nifedipine and Dydrogesrone in prevention of premature labor in gestations with short cervix. Setting: Obstetrics & Gynecology Departments, Faculties of medicine, south Valley and Al-Azhar (Asyut) Universities, Egypt. Duration: from September 2014 to March 2018. Patients And Methds: the study was conducted on 300 pregnant women who randomly divided into three groups: Group I included 100 cases received Sildenafil citrate (Respatio tablet 20mg twice daily orally), Group II included 100 cases received Nifedipine (Epilat retard tablets 20mg twice daily orally) and Group III included 100 pregnant women received dydrogesreone 10 mg (Duphaston) twice daily orally. Results: incidence of preterm labor was (9.37, 8.51 and 14.28) in (Group I, Group II and Group II) respectively. Mean ± SD of cervical length at 32 weeks of gestation was mildly statistically significant among groups (p value <0.05) but no significance in neonatal outcome (p value >0.05) except birth weight which had a highly statistically significant difference (p value < 0.001). There was a highly statistically significant difference among studied groups as regard to drug side effects in (p value <0.001). Conclusion: Sildenafil citrate was as effective as Nifedipine and better than oral Dydrogesterone on myometrial relaxation and prevention of preterm birth in pregnant women who had short cervix.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a multifactorial vasoproliferative retinal disorder in the premature infant exposed to high oxygen therapy. Retinopathy of prematurity is a major contributor to childhood blindness. Whereas ROP in high-income countries is decreasing, it is increasing in the low and middle-income countries, such as India. On the other hand, ROP is also a preventable disease. So far, preventive programs have focused on pediatric, neonatal, and nursing practices: Minimizing exposure to oxygen of premature babies admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in respiratory distress (RDS) and early detection of ROP and treatment by the ophthalmologists. Prematurity is the major risk factor for ROP. Decreasing the risk of prematurity requires a perinatal approach. Evidence shows that good antenatal care, managing preterm labor, and administration of antenatal steroids decrease respiratory complication and the need for oxygen therapy in the premature infants. There is also a need for decreasing the elective cesarean sections (ECS) which add to iatrogenic preterm births and associated respiratory complications. New research shows that inflammatory factors that lead to premature labor also make the premature retinal vessels susceptible to developing ROP. These scientific findings lay ground for a stronger perinatal approach to prevent ROP in future. This article attempts to highlight the perinatal approach to prevent ROP.

Abstract:
OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o uso de progesterona natural vaginal para a prevenção de parto prematuro em gestações gemelares. Delineamento do estudo: foi realizado um estudo prospectivo, randomizado, duplo-cego, placebo controlado, que avaliou 390 gestações gemelares concebidas naturalmente entre mães sem história de prematuridade que estavam recebendo cuidados pré-natais em centro único. Mulheres com gestações entre 18 e 21 semanas e 6 dias foram aleatoriamente randomizadas para o grupo progesterona vaginal diária (200 mg) ou placebo até 34 semanas e 6 dias de gestação. O desfecho primário foi a diferença de idade gestacional média no parto; os resultados secundários foram a taxa de parto espontâneo < 34 semanas de gestação e a taxa de mortalidade e morbidade neonatal composta entre os grupos. RESULTADOS: As características gerais dos grupos foram semelhantes. A análise final incluiu 189 mulheres no grupo progesterona e 191 no grupo placebo. Nenhuma diferença (p=0,095) na idade gestacional média foi observada entre o grupo progesterona (35,08 ± 3,19 [DP]) e placebo (35,55 ± 2,85). A incidência de parto espontâneo com < 34 semanas de gestação foi de 18,5% no grupo de progesterona e 14,6% no grupo placebo (OR = 1,32; 95% intervalo de confiança, 0,24 - 2,37). Nenhuma diferença no resultado neonatal composto e mortalidade foi observada entre a progesterona (15,5%) e o grupo placebo (15,9%) (odds ratio, 1,01; 95% intervalo de confiança, 0,58 - 1,75). CONCLUSÃO: Em gestação gemelar, população não selecionada, o uso de progesterona natural micronizada 200mg/dia não reduz a incidência de parto prematuro espontâneo
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of vaginal progesterone for the prevention of preterm delivery in twin pregnancies. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that involved 390 naturally conceived twin pregnancies among mothers with no history of preterm delivery who were receiving antenatal care at a single center. Women with twin pregnancies between 18 and 21 weeks and 6 days\' gestation were assigned randomly to daily vaginal progesterone (200 mg) or placebo ovules until 34 weeks and 6 days\' gestation. The primary outcome was the difference in mean gestational age at delivery; the secondary outcomes were the rate of spontaneous delivery at < 34 weeks\' gestation and the rate of neonatal composite morbidity and mortality in the treatment and no treatment groups. RESULTS: The baseline characteristics were similar in both groups. The final analysis included 189 women in the progesterone group and 191 in the placebo group. No difference (P .095) in the mean gestational age at delivery was observed between progesterone (35.08 ± 3.19 [SD]) and placebo groups (35.55 ± 2.85). The incidence of spontaneous delivery at < 34 weeks\' gestation was 18.5% in the progesterone group and 14.6% in the placebo group (odds ratio, 1.32; 95% confidence interval, 0.24 - 2.37). No difference in the composite neonatal morbidity and mortality was observed between the progesterone (15.5%) and placebo (15.9%) groups (odds ratio, 1.01; 95% confidence interval, 0.58 -1.75). CONCLUSION: In non-selected twin pregnancies, vaginal progesterone administration does not prevent preterm delivery

Abstract:
Two hundred eighty-two patients at risk for premature delivery were included in this controlled trial of betamethasone therapy versus placebo. Of those included, 213 were in spontaneous premature labor. Ethanol or salbutamol infusions were used to delay delivery while steroid or placebo was given. Among those infants born to mothers who received betamethasone, there were no deaths with hyaline membrane disease or intraventricular hemorrhage. Respiratory distress syndrome occurred less often in those who received betamethasone than in controls (9% vs. 25.8%, p = 0.003), but this difference was primarily for those neonates born less than 32 weeks gestation who had been treated for at least 24 hours before delivery. This article reviews this hallmark study and provides contemporary context for its findings.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the impact of specific burden of the economic cost of victimization on gender. Gender-related victimization is disproportionately concentrated on women and girls. Forms include sexual assaults, intimate-partner violence, incest, genital mutilation, homicide, trafficking for sexual exploitation, and other sexual offences. Costs of violence against women are widespread throughout society. Every recognizable effect of violence has a cost whether it is direct or indirect. Direct costs come from the use of goods and services for which a monetary exchange is made. Direct costs exist for capital, labour, and material inputs. Indirect costs stem from effects of violence against women that have an imputed monetary exchange, such as lost income or reduced profit. Effects of violence against women also include intangible costs such as premature death and pain and suffering for which there is no imputed monetary value in the economy.

Abstract:
The interventions used to address premature birth do not address the issue of medical racism. Moreover, interventions are not preventive. This chapter focuses on the role that radical Black birth workers, including doulas, midwives, and reproductive justice advocates, play in addressing Black women’s adverse birth outcomes. Radical birth workers attempt to prevent adverse birth outcomes by delivering comprehensive care throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and postbirth. Often, at the same time, they also view themselves as mediators between women and the obstetric medical system founded on the exploitation of Black women’s reproduction. Birth workers have their roots in early midwifery practices, and many seek to reclaim pregnancy and birthing from the power of the medical-industrial complex. The preventive approach as an alternative to medical births and the provision of care based on compassion have been shown to produce very good outcomes for many women.

Abstract:
Recent advances in the clinical management of at-risk pregnancy and care of the newborn have reduced morbidity and mortality among sick neonates, and improved our knowledge of factors that influence the risks of brain injury. In parallel, the refinement of imaging techniques has added to the ability of clinicians to define the etiology, timing and location of pathologic changes with diagnostic and prognostic relevance to the developing fetus and newborn infant. Abnormalities of brain growth, or injury to the developing brain can occur during pregnancy; during labor and delivery, hypoxia, acidosis and ischemia pose major risks to the fetus. Defined practices for the management of pregnancy and delivery, and evidence-based strategies for care in the newborn period are influencing outcome. However, newborn infants, especially those born prematurely, remain at risk from situations that can cause or worsen brain injury. The literature reviewed here explains the mechanisms and timing of injury, and the importance of hypoxia, ischemia, hypotension and infection; describes current diagnostic strategies, neuroimaging technologies and care entities available; and outlines approaches that can be used to prevent or mitigate brain injury. Some show particular promise, and all are relevant to lowering the incidence and severity of brain damage.

Abstract:
A normal pregnancy requires physical integrity of the fetal membrane (FM) until term delivery. Timely rupture of the fetal membrane is a vital part of term labor [1]. Premature failure of the FM, prior to full gestation, accounts for one third of all premature human births and affects 3% of all pregnancies [2]. Membrane rupture is either due to the release of the amniotic fluid, frequently signaling the onset of labor, or under a pathological circumstance [3]. In order to develop a rational basis for treatment and prevention of premature FM failure, we need first to understand FM structural and mechanical behavior. This includes its constituent layers at near full term under normal physiological loading states. Once these properties are established, we can then better formulate how the tissue transitions to the ability to fail at full term.
