Issue:

Vol 59, issue 5 (2010)

Pages:

561–6

Synopsis:

The study was conducted to explore drug utilization in pregnant women attending a tertiary healthcare institution. It was a cross-sectional study in 506 women. There were 200 (39.5%) primigravidae, 306 (60.5%) multigravidae and 59.1% (299) of women were in the third trimester. More women with higher educational level take over-the-counter paracetamol, iron/folic acid and vitamin supplements while herbal supplements are rarely used.

Dietary Intake of Choline and Plasma Choline Concentrations in Pregnant Women in Jamaica

Issue:

Vol 54, Issues 6 (2005)

Pages:

355–9

Synopsis:

We examined the plasma choline concentration of sixteen women attending the antenatal clinic of the University Hospital of the West Indies and found that their fasting choline concentrations were low to normal. This may be a reflection of low choline dietary intake.

Clinical Evaluation with Self-sequential Longitudinal Reference Intervals: Pregnancy Outcome and Neonatal Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Level Associated with Maternal Thyroid Diseases

Issue:

Vol 62, Issue 1: Jan (2013)

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2012.143

Pages:

28–34

Synopsis:

The thyroid function of 1744 pregnant women was clinically evaluated with a new self-sequential longitudinal reference interval (SLRI) which we established. Thyroid disorders were common in pregnant women and the disorders were associated with pregnancy and fetal outcome. Routine maternal thyroid function screening is important and should be recommended.

ABSTRACT

Objective: We attempted to evaluate maternal thyroid function in a new self-sequential longitudinal reference interval (SLRI) which we established recently. By this method, we analysed the correlation between pregnancy outcome, neonatal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level and maternal thyroid diseases.

Postpartum Complicated by Transverse Myelitis

Issue:

Vol 61, Issue 6 (2012)

Pages:

643–5

Transverse myelitis is a very rare neurological condition associated with immunologic and infectious
conditions causing interruption of the neuroanatomical pathways in a transverse plane in the spinal
cord. Herein is described the fatal case of a patient that developed transverse myelitis after a
Caesarean delivery, probably related to the epidural analgesia.
