Is induction of labor with continuous release dinoprostone vaginal pessary a viable option in patients with preeclampsia?

Background: Induction of labour is a very common obstetric procedure worldwide. The ultimate goal of induction of labour is to achieve a successful vaginal delivery. Dinoprostone is a Prostaglandin (PGE2) which acts on the collagen structural network of the cervix and makes it favourable, thus increasing the chances of a successful of a vaginal delivery. This study emphasizes on the importance of having a proper induction protocol in place and at the same time judicious use of the agents for induction of labour. This will help to reduce the maternal anxiety and stress associated with the induction of labour. The present study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of dinoprostone vaginal pessary in induction of labour at term.Methods: Twenty patients with unfavorable cervix at term were studied for the effectiveness of Dinoprostone vaginal pessary in induction of labor.Results: Among the twenty patients 17 (85%) delivered vaginally within 18 hrs and 3 (15%) were in the active phase of labour. No untoward event was observed in any of the cases with a favorable neonatal outcome in all the cases.Conclusions: Present study shows that Dinoprostone vaginal pessary is a highly effective method of induction of labor at term in properly selected cases. It reduces consistently the number of internal examinations and thus reducing the risk of ascending infections adding to it's safety along with reduced maternal anxiety associated with induction of labour.

Osmotic Agent

In this study, once-daily porosity osmotic pump tablets (POPTs) of Glimepiride were prepared using HPMC K100M (61%), osmotic agent (30% NaCl) coated using two different coating techniques spraying and dipping methods. The coating solution composed of ethyl cellulose (7.5%) w\w in ethanol (90%), castor oil (2%) as water-insoluble plasticizer and Gingo red color (0.5% w\w). In both techniques, the coating level was adjusted to give a 10% increase in the weight of the tablets. The effect of the coating by dipping technique with an increase in the weight of tablet (10 %, 20% & 50%) was also investigated to see the effect coating level on the percentage of drug release from POPTs. The results of the in vitro release of Glimepiride from tablets coated by the spraying method showed longer release time (24 hrs) than those coated with dipping method. On the other hand, increasing the coating level by dipping method retarded the release of the drug from tablets. However, the same retardation effect on release as shown with the spraying technique was only obtained by increasing the coating level with a 50% increase in the weight of the tablet. Thus, coating by spraying is more efficient to prepare POPTs to give a continuous release of Glimepiride from once daily table with the lowest increase in the total weight of the tablet.

Financial Transactions

Mobile money in Zimbabwe has extensively extended the frontiers of financial inclusion to reach millions who were earlier excluded within a relatively short space of time. The growing use of mobile phones in transferring money and making payments has significantly altered the countrys financial inclusion landscape as millions who had been hitherto excluded can now perform financial transactions in a relatively cheap, reliable and secure way. The FinScope results found out that 45% of the adult population use mobile money services. Of those using mobile money, 65% mentioned that is convenient, while 36% mentioned that it is cheap. Mobile money is accessible. These drivers are in the backdrop of few or no bank branches in rural communities as well as time and cost of accessing the bank branches. In Zimbabwe, mobile money is mostly used as a vehicle for remittances. While some people are enjoying mobile money services, it is important to mention that there are still people who are excluded from the formal financial system. The reasons why people do not use mobile money are mainly related to poverty issues. Mobile money remains a viable option to push the landscape of financial inclusion in Zimbabwe and other emerging markets where the formal financial system might not be strong.
