Cocaine Use in Pregnant Women in a Large Public Hospital

The present study analyzes video-recorded fetal ultrasound scans held in a moderate and high-risk pregnancy ward at a Brazilian public hospital. Informed by Multimodal Conversation Analysis (Mondada, 2018), it investigates the ethnomethods participants employ to manage worry-indicative concerns whose presentation is initiated by pregnant women in a medical exam that does not typically comprise a specific phase for that (Nishizaka, 2010, 2011b, 2014). The analysis shows that pregnant women orient to three environments to request worry-indicative information: (i) topic, (ii) image, (iii) phase transition, tailoring the design of their requests to each particular environment. The findings reveal that pregnant women are highly agentive in finding optimal opportunities to raise their concerns and to mobilize health professionals to respond to them. The physicians performing the scans respond to those requests while dealing with the contingencies inherent to the context of fetal ultrasounds and that have implications in attending to the requests. The results unveil the interplay between the pregnant women’s ethnomethods of raising concerns where ‘normality’ is constantly at stake and the health professionals’ ethnomethods in attending to those demands while orchestrating the distinct semiotic resources involved in the multiactivity setting of ultrasound scans.

Maternal Mortality is mostly caused by bleeding (32 %), hypertension during pregnancy (25 %). Infection (5 %), long parturition 5 %), and chronic energy deficiency (27.66 %). The objective of this research was to find out of correlation Between Maternal Anthropometry (Body Weight, Mid Upper Arm Circumference, Fundal Height) And Reflex physiology Of Normal Newborn Babies In delivery room of Regional Public Hospital Of Meuraxa Banda Aceh. The research was conducted from September 4 to September 22, 2016. The descriptive correlation design with cross sectional study approach was used in this research. There were thirty research sample that were chosen by using accidental sampling method. The result of this research indicated that were was no correlation between body Weight of pregnant woman with reflex physiology of their normal Newborn Babies In Delivery Room Of Regional Public Hospital of Meuraxa Banda Aceh (p Value 0.174). There was a correlation Between Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) of pregnant women with reflex physiology of their normal Newborn Babies (p Value 0.020). There was also a correlation between fundal height with reflex physiology of their normal Newborn Babies (p Value 0.000). Based on those result, it is suggest that the pregnant women should pay nurse attention to their health by doing regular check -ups during pregnancy in order to prevent any complication. It is also suggested that the health worker keep enhancing the medical service, such us the measurement of body weight, MUAC and fundal height.

ObjectiveAlthough illegal abortion is believed to be widely practised in Haiti, few data exist on such practices. We aimed to learn about illegal abortion access, methods, and perceived barriers to abortion-related care. Additionally, we aimed to identify the proportion of unscheduled antepartum visits to a public hospital that were attributable to unsafe abortion in Cap Haitien, Haiti.Study designWe conducted eight focus groups with women (n=62) and 13 interviews with women’s health providers and subsequently administered a survey to pregnant or recently pregnant women (20 weeks of gestation or less) presenting to the hospital from May 2013 to January 2014 (n=255).ResultsAmong the focus groups, there was widespread knowledge of misoprostol self-managed abortion. Women described use of multiple agents in combination with misoprostol. Men played key roles in abortion decision-making and in accessing misoprostol.Among the 255 pregnant or recently pregnant women surveyed, 61.2% (n=150) reported the current pregnancy was unintended and 30% (n=78) reported attempting an induced abortion. The majority of women used misoprostol either alone or as a part of the medication/herb regimen for their self-managed abortion (85.1%, n=63).ConclusionsAwareness of methods to induce abortion is high among women in urban Haiti and appears widely practised; yet knowledge of the safest self-managed abortion options remains incomplete. Access to safer abortion services could improve maternal health in Haiti.
