Publication Fetomaternal Outcome of Pregnant Women at Term Undergoing Cesarean Section(Nepal Health Research Council, 2024) Bharati, Sonu; Dangal, Ganesh; Tiwari, Kenusha Devi; Maharjan, Sunita; Bhandari, Srijana; Karki, Aruna; Pradhan, Hema Kumari; Shrestha, Ranjana; Bhattachan, KabinBackground: Cesarean section is one of the most common procedures performed in obstetric practice today and is a lifesaving surgery for mother and fetus. Cesarean sections are classified traditionally, as elective cesarean section or emergency cesarean. The purpose of this study is to compare the maternal and neonatal outcomes in elective and emergency cesarean section so that measures can be taken to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Methods: A descriptive study including 400 pregnant women who underwent caesarean section were included in this study. Patients were subjected to elective or emergency cesarean section as per the indication and protocol of institute. were included in the study. Results: During the study period there were total 1080 deliveries. The average age of the women was 29.21±4.07 years. Of the 400 cesarean section cases, only 2.8% had wound infection, 3.8% had fever, 4.8% urinary tract infection (UTI) whereas no women had observed with post-partum hemorrhages (PPH) and maternal death. Regarding fetal outcome, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission was observed in 16%, birth asphyxia was 2.3% poor Apgar score 2.5% and neonatal death was not observed. Rate of fever, UTI, wound infection, need of resuscitation and poor Apgar score was significantly high in emergency section than elective caesarean section whereas NICU admission was not statistically significant. The most common indication of emergency cesarean section were fetal dress and for previous LSCS. Conclusions: Emergency cesarean was associated with increased maternal and perinatal complications than in elective cesarean section. Keywords: Caesarean section; elective caesarean section; emergency caesarean section; neonatal morbidity and mortality.Publication Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome in an Adult Infertile Male: A Case Report(Nepal Medical Association, 2024) Sedhain, Nesuma; Adhikari, Shree Prasad; Pradhan, Hema Kumari; Parajuli, RakshyaAbstract Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of sex development characterized by the presence of Müllerian duct derived structures in a normally virilized, genotypical (46, XY) and phenotypical male. Here we describe a case of male partner of the couple who presented with primary subfertility and was diagnosed with persistent müllerian duct syndrome during investigations. Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome is a rare disease and in developing countries like Nepal, because of unaware of the disease condition and lack of proper health care facilities, such cases are diagnosed later in adult males. Therefore, this case highlights the importance of awareness and knowledge for early detection and treatment of such conditions to conserve fertility and prevent malignancy of testis and other remnant mullerian structures.
