Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes, caused by high blood sugar levels damaging Retina. It usually takes several years for diabetic retinopathy to reach a stage where it could threaten the sight, if left undiagnosed and untreated. Starting with only a mild vision problem, retinopathy usually appears five years after a type 1 diabetes diagnosis. But it may already be present when type 2 diabetes is diagnosed. We present one such case in a lady of 38 years old, tailor by profession, diagnosed as Type 2 diabetes since 2019, suspected to have had proliferative diabetic retinopathy in January 2020, reported at a Medical College Hospital on 15th December 2020 with periorbital headache for fifteen days. Fundal examination revealed hard exudates and Neo vascularization in both eyes. She was advised Photocoagulation but after her blood sugar was controlled. In the meantime, she was advised to use Nepafenac eye suspension four times daily for pain and redness of the right eye. Investigations had revealed her RBS was 392mg/dl, for which a general physician (internal medicine) was consulted who put her Tab. Metformin 500mg 1-1-1 B/F, Tab. Teneligliptin 20mg 0-1-0 A/F. Unfortunately, 2 months of follow up and diabetes management did not allow her to be taken up for photocoagulation. The institution was firm on their decision to plan her laser photocoagulation for both eyes only when the blood sugar levels come to a range of 140 to 160mg/dl. On 26th March 2021, she was rushed to the Medical College hospital as she complained of loss of vision in the Right eye. The fundus examination revealed multiple dot and blot hemorrhages in both eyes, bleed in oculus dexter and oculus sinister, hard exudates in the right eye that needed Vitreoretinal surgery. Since the Medical College Hospital did not have the Vitreoretinal surgery facility, she was taken to a private dedicated eye hospital, where she underwent laser photocoagulation of left eye on 12/04/21 followed by Vitrectomy of right eye for proliferative diabetic retinopathy on 24th April 2021. There were no postoperative hemorrhages until three days or any other complications after surgery. Now she can recognize some shapes with her right eye by closing left eye.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) may be present in the patient before the conception or it may appear during pregnancy. Obstetric management shall ensure prevention of diabetic embryopathy and early detection and management of diabetic complications in pregnancy.Methods: A descriptive observational study was undertaken on participants from a Medical College Hospital. The pre-existing medical disorders, blood sugar, routine antenatal investigations, type of delivery, ultrasound findings, complications of delivery, foetal outcome etc. were recorded. The participants were advised diet, exercise and pharmacotherapy. The intranatal and postnatal events were recorded. The results were compared with related literature.Results: The study had total 89 participants. Five participants (5.6%) had abnormal blood sugar values. Out of these, 2 participants were having pregestational DM and 3 were having gestational DM. Although all the participants who had abnormal blood sugar levels required caesarean section, two could not be operated. One participant with gestational DM who did not follow management advice delivered a macerated still born baby after shoulder dystocia. Another participant having gestational DM, who complied strictly as per dietary advice and exercise, could be managed well without insulin and delivered a healthy baby. The requirement of insulin increased in pregnancy in patients with pregestational diabetes.Conclusions: It is essential to ensure compliance on all three pillars of management of diabetes viz. diet, exercise and insulin during pregnancy. Hence health education for diabetes with special emphasis on obstetric care in pregnancy with diabetes should be promoted.

Retained placenta is a condition in which the placenta is retained for more than half-an hour after the birth of a child. It accounts for 5-10% of all postpartum haemorrhage (PPH). The present study was conducted to find out the incidence, causes and management of retained placenta of admitted cases in In-Patient Department (IPD) of Obstetrics & Gynaecology of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka during the period from June 01 to December 31, 2003. 163 patients were included in the study who presented with retained placenta and developed retained placenta in IPD who had undergone vaginal delivery, with pregnancy equal to or more than 28 weeks both stillbirths and live-births, both singleton and multiple pregnancy. The incidence of retained placenta was found 3.54% of total admissions. Retained placenta developed in 1.53% cases among 1,506 vaginal deliveries in this hospital during this period. The mean age of the respondents was 27.19±1.54 and most of the patients were aged between 21 to 30 years, multipara, illiterate and from low income group and poor socio-economic status. Among them 81.60% had home delivery, 64.42% delivered between 37 to 40 weeks of pregnancy. Majority of the patients i.e. 61.96% reached the hospital within 2 to 6 hours of development of retained placenta and 49.07% had shock with PPH. About 23.92% respondents had predisposing factors like D & C, manual removal of RP and caesarean section. A considerable percentage (19.63%) had history of MR. About 96.93% respondents required manual removal of retained placenta. 124 (76.07%) received blood transfusion ranging from 1 to 13 units of blood. The causes of retained placenta were uterine inertia (38.65%), morbid adhesion (52.76%) and less expulsive efforts of the patients (7.98%). Placenta accreta was the major (96.51%) cause of morbid adhesion. The range of hospital stay was between 6 to 15 days. Of the total retained placenta cases, 98.77% patients improved and 1.23% patients died of irreversible shock due to PPH. Key words: Retained Placenta; Caesarean Section.
