The diagnosis of face presentation was confirmed by the use of intrapartum translabial ultrasound examination. In face presentation, the orbits and nasal bridge are shown in the center of the presenting part at the mid-sagittal plane. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Abdominal Pain

  A 27-year-old woman was admitted to a hospital in Ethiopia because of severe abdominal pain during labor, with cessation of contractions. She had been in labor at home, pushing for 24 hours. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Nausea

  Contractions during this phase will last about 60-90 seconds with a 30 second-2 minute rest in between Contractions are long, strong, intense, and can overlap This is the hardest phase but also the shortest You might experience hot flashes, chills, nausea [americanpregnancy.org]

• Loss of Appetite

• Foot Drop

  Foot drop has been described as an infrequent complication from common peroneal nerve injury related to external compression and forceful knee flexion while pushing during vaginal delivery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Vaginal Discharge

  Examination revealed a crowning fetal head, no fetal heart tones, and purulent vaginal discharge. Postpartum, the patient experienced irritative voiding symptoms, vaginal stenosis, and cystoscopic evidence of injury to the bladder base. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Vaginal discharge (lochia). Immediately following birth you will experience a bloody discharge heavier than a regular period. Over time, the discharge will fade to white or yellow and then stop entirely within two months. [webmd.com]

  You may also notice an increase in mucusy vaginal discharge, which may be tinged with blood – the so-called bloody show. This is perfectly normal, but if you see more than a tinge of blood, be sure to call your caregiver. [babycenter.com]

Subsequent anatomic and hematologic workup was inconclusive. This presentation is atypical given the delayed presentation of symptoms after epidural placement. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

NAM has been associated with malignancy and statin use. [6] See Etiology, Presentation, and Workup. Polymyositis and dermatomyositis have many shared clinical features. Both present as symmetrical muscle weakness that develops over weeks to months. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The patient presented with foot drop, which resolved after conservative treatment. We reviewed the epidemiology, clinical manifestations and treatment options for this rare complication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although propionic acidemia (PA) is a devastating inherited metabolic disease, with early diagnosis and advanced treatment strategies prognosis gets better and girls can survive to child-bearing ages. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Prognosis depends on patient response to treatment (good in most cases), severity of disease manifestations, age at diagnosis, presence of cardiac or pulmonary involvement, and associated malignancy. [orpha.net]

There is paucity of knowledge on the prognosis of this combination of diseases, but our patient responded favorably to oral corticosteroid therapy. [err.eg.net]

The etiology of cervical insufficiency has not been fully recognized and the association between it and prior cesarean delivery is unknown. We experienced two similar characteristic cases of cervical insufficiency following term cesarean delivery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology Polymyositis is an immune-mediated syndrome secondary to defective cellular immunity that is most commonly associated with other systemic autoimmune diseases. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Etiology The exact mechanisms underlying PM have not been clearly elucidated to date. PM appears to be caused by inflammation-mediated muscle fiber necrosis and regeneration. [orpha.net]

We reviewed the epidemiology, clinical manifestations and treatment options for this rare complication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Summary Epidemiology The estimated annual incidence has been reported to be between 1/250,000 and 1/130,000 new cases/year and prevalence 1/14,000. It is a rare disorder that may be over-diagnosed because of overlap with other myopathies. [orpha.net]

Epidemiology Frequency Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are relatively rare diseases, with an incidence in the United States that ranges from 0.5-8.4 cases per million population. [emedicine.medscape.com]

We discuss the pathophysiologic and contributing factors to this syndrome and its potential complications. Obstetricians & gynecologists, family physicians. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Moreover, stretch-induced stimulation of myometrial contractility was prevented by ERK1/2 inhibitors. Retosiban (10 nM) prevented stretch-induced stimulation of myometrial contractility and phosphorylation of ERK1/2. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
