Objectives: to analyze the characteristics of blood flow in the ductus venosus of fetus with congenital anomalies diagnosed during the first trimester. Materials: 20 821 first trimester pregnant women have been examined during the last 3 years. 82 fetuses have been diagnosed with congenital anomalies. In 74 out of 82 cases assessment of blood flow took place. A comparative analysis of the following parameters has been carried out: characteristics of blood flow in the ductus venosus of fetus with multiple and isolated congenital anomalies, normal nuchal translucency and expanded nuchal translucency, isolated and concomitant development anomalies of the heart and major vessels, normal and anomalous karyotype. Results: anomalous blood flow in the ductus venosus was recorded in 40 % of the fetuses with congenital anomalies – the highest in the group of fetus with multiple congenital anomalies in combination with the expanded nuchal translucency and chromosomal abnormalities – 60 %, in the group of fetus with Edwards syndrome – 90 %. Conclusion: the recording of abnormal blood flow in the ductus venosus of a fetus should be an indication for an expanded anatomical assessment of the fetus and ultrasound monitoring, as sensitive markers of fetal anomalies and chromosomal abnormalities.

AbstractThe advances in reproductive technologies have changed the demographics of multifetal pregnancies. In the first trimester, ultrasound allows to diagnose the number of multiples, chorionicity and amnionicity, the presence or absence of nuchal translucency, early growth discordance, severe malformations and the origin of activities and contacts between multiples. In the second and third trimester, the opportunity to examine the cervix by transvaginal ultrasound should not be missed to detect the risk of premature delivery. Ultrasound is essential for the early grading and treatment of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), the diagnosis of malformations and growth disturbances. Doppler velocimetry has proven to be able to reduce perinatal mortality in twin pregnancies. Finally, ultrasound is used for the detection of the position of multiples and the decision of the optimal route of delivery. This is of main importance in delayed interval delivery and expectant management of multifetal pregnancies and early cervical dilatation.

Role Of The Government

This paper analyzes the problem of technological backwardness of economy. In many mostly developing countries their economies use obsolete technologies. This can create the illusion that this or that business is prosperous. At the level of international competition, however, it is obvious that these types of firms do not have any chance for success. Retroeconomics as a theory of technological backwardness and its detrimental effect upon a country’s economy is considered in the paper. The role of the government is very important for overcoming the effects of retroeconomy. The phenomenon of retroeconomy is already quite deep-rooted throughout the world and it is essential to consolidate the attention of economists and politicians on this threat.

Traditional Approaches

E-governance is a paradigm shift over the traditional approaches in Public Administration which means rendering of government services and information to the public by using electronic means. In the past decades, service quality and responsiveness of the government towards the citizens were least important but with the approach of E-Government the government activities are now well dealt. This paper withdraws experiences from various studies from different countries and projects facing similar challenges which need to be consigned for the successful implementation of e-governance projects. Developing countries like India face poverty and illiteracy as a major obstacle in any form of development which makes it difficult for its government to provide e-services to its people conveniently and fast. It also suggests few suggestions to cope up with the challenges faced while implementing e-projects in India.

Background: Congenital anomalies are a major cause of infant morbidity and mortality in developing countries including our country. Registries and data on these anomalies are still primitive and poorly collated. In this study we aimed to assess the important demographic factors associated with the development of congenital anomalies. Methods: This was a cross-sectional hospital-based study involving 880 infants in the 1st year of life registered in the birth defect unit in Fallujah Maternity and Children Hospital in the period between 1st of January 2017 to the 31st of December 2019. The prevalence rate, the pattern of anomalies and the factors associated with their occurrence were determined. Results: The prevalence rate of the group enrolled in this study was 31/1000 total births, congenital heart defects was the commonest followed by central nervous system anomalies, 58% of the infants were males, 65% had ≥ 2.5 kg birth weight & 95% were singletons. Family history of congenital anomalies was found in 31.25% of cases. The largest group of mothers (55.7%) were 21-30 years old & 92.5% of fathers were less than 45 years old. Parental consanguinity reported in 64.3% of the total cases. Only 4.5% of mothers reported history of fever during pregnancy, and none of them had history of exposure to x-ray or teratogenic drug use. Gestational hypertension was reported in 10% of the total (880) mothers, hypertension and diabetes mellitus in 0.3%, while hepatitis C, hepatitis B, toxoplasmosis and epilepsy, each was reported in only one mother (0.1% of the total). Regarding the outcome of pregnancy, 66.6% were live births, 24.2% were abortions and 9.2% were stillbirths. History of previous abortions was reported in 22% of cases. Urban residents accounted for 63% of the families of congenitally abnormal infants while 37% were rural. Conclusion: Congenital anomalies are still a major cause for concern and tension in Fallujah society, there is serious need to establish a surveillance and good statistical system for congenital anomalies and efforts should be made to raise awareness of their occurrence and the associated risk factors in Iraq and other developing countries.
