Myopic Shift

In this research, we represent the changes in visual acuity during pregnancy and after delivery. Changes as myopic shift start during second trimester and will be stopped after delivery; however it is obtained that women will have the same refractive error as what they had in the first trimester, after postpartum. So, any change in their spectacle prescription during this period is forbidden. As a result, not only changing in hormones can cause myopic shift in vision, but also overweight has its retributive role. What we are trying to do is to notify gynecologists and optometrists to be aware of these changes, so as to leave spectacle prescription writing to the session after postpartum period.

Abstract Background: Abortion is a termination of pregnancy before the fetus has become viable, i.e., capable of independent existence once delivered by the mother. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and determinants associated with second trimester termination of pregnancy among the women in the reproductive age. Methods: Cross sectional study, design was conducted from September 1-30, 2020. Eight hundreds thirty-five sample of women with induced abortion complication were used. The data were entered into statistical package and service solutions (SPSS) version 23.0 for cleaning and data analysis. Chi-square test of association was used to test the association between the response variable. Binary logistic regression was employed for variables one by one in bivariate logistic regression to determine the significant association between response variables and predictors at p-value 0.15. A 95% confidence interval (CI) and level of significance less than 0.05 were used to determine statistical significance. Results: The prevalence of second trimester termination of pregnancy in the reproductive Age (15-49 years) was found to be 18.2%. As a result multivariable logistic regression model, women with age category 20-24 years [Adjusted odds ratio(AOR)=2.055, 95% CI=1.102-3.831], age category 30-34 years [AOR=3.084, 95%CI=1.348-7.056] , age category greater than or equal to 35 had adjusted odds ratio(AOR=3.021, 95% CI=1.199-7.610), having safe abortion care (AOR=0.294, 95%CI=0.132-0.656), taking treatment in health care/hospital (AOR=2.385, 95% CI=1.057-5.382) and repeatedly acceptor of post-abortion contraception (AOR=0.533, 95%CI=0.291-0.979) were potential determinants associated with women’s in the reproductive age with second trimester termination of pregnancy. Conclusions: Second trimester termination of pregnancy is strongly affected by age of mother, abortion care, place of managed abortion and post-abortion contraception. Strategies on Antenatal care and task-oriented services should be given to community level about the second trimester medical termination of pregnancy to decrease further complications and maternal mortality.

Cardiac Autonomic Modulation

Individuals with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) have an impairment of cardiac autonomic function categorized by parasympathetic reduction and sympathetic predominance. The objective of this study was to assess the cardiac autonomic modulation of individuals with DMD undergoing therapy with Prednisone/Prednisolone and Deflazacort and compare with individuals with DMD without the use of these medications and a typically developed control group. Methods: A cross-sectional study was completed, wherein 40 boys were evaluated. The four treatment groups were: Deflazacort; Prednisone/Prednisolone; no corticoid use; and typical development. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) was investigated via linear indices (Time Domain and Frequency Domain) and non-linear indices Results: The results of this study revealed that individuals with DMD undertaking pharmacotherapies with Prednisolone demonstrated HRV comparable to the Control Typically Developed (CTD) group. In contrast, individuals with DMD undergoing pharmacotherapies with Deflazacort achieved lower HRV, akin to individuals with DMD without any medications, as demonstrated in the metrics: RMSSD; LF (n.u.), HF (n.u.), LF/HF; SD1, α1, and α1/α2, and a significant effect for SD1/SD2; %DET and Ratio; Shannon Entropy, 0 V%, 2 LV% and 2 ULV%. Conclusions: Corticosteroids have the potential to affect the cardiac autonomic modulation in adolescents with DMD. The use of Prednisone/Prednisolone appears to promote improved responses in terms of sympathovagal activity as opposed to Deflazacort.

Background: Globally there has been increased medicalization of pregnancy due to advances in technology. Ultrasonography examination during pregnancy has become an integral part of antenatal care throughout the world with advanced health care services.Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted in pregnant women attending the ANC clinic of Obstetric department of D. Y. Patil Medical College Hospital, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India for routine check up to know the awareness about ultrasonography among them. The study included 290 pregnant women. All were explained the purpose of study and assured confidentiality. Data has been collected from willing participants using pre-tested questionnaire in June-August 2015.Results: The study shows literacy was 87.6%, pregnancy above 20 years age 98.97% and most of them unskilled (83.4%), majority of middle social class (89%). Many (72.41%) pregnant women considered USG use to detect fetal anomalies while 27.93% considered for sex detection. Majority (93.1%) done USG in this pregnancy, of that more (43.45 %) in second trimester and mainly advised by doctors (91.03%). Nearly half of them (50.69%) considered its expensive procedure, 69.31% spent 200/- to 500/- rupees per USG, in spite 94.83% of them would recommend other pregnant women to undergo USG in pregnancy. 50.69%% of them opined it should be done twice in pregnancy. Almost 94.83% considered USG as safe and beneficial.Conclusions: Awareness regarding the uses of Ultrasonography during pregnancy and attitude towards it was found to be average. There is need to create more awareness in community about PCPNT act and its provisions. Also there is need of counselling about the safety, utility and frequency of USG during pregnancy to avoid misuse.
