pregnancy within 42 days, regardless of duration and place of pregnancy, from aggravation caused by the pregnancy or pregnancy management (Nwagha et al, 2010). Maternal mortality may be resulted from direct or indirect cause. Direct causes are from obstetric complications of pregnancy, labour, and puerperium, and interventions whereas indirect causes are from the worsening of current conditions by pregnancy or delivery (Givewell, 2009). This paper aims to examine the causes for maternal mortality in

Ew! That’s just disgusting,” the students yelled. My interest in obstetrics and gynecology sparked as my Anatomy and Physiology teacher, Mrs. Davidson, explained the term dilated. While everyone else cringed at the thought of not only discussing but visualizing the human delivery process, it intrigued me more than ever. Additionally, Mrs. Davison further explained how the physician plays an influential role the lives of their patients. She alludes that having a great doctor when going through such

Periodontitis is recognised as chronic, low-grade, inflammatory and pathogenic infection, which continuously changes at a systemic level (Reddy, Phulambriker, Wanjari, Srivastava, 2012). Persistent inflammatory infection as a result of Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria lead to the destruction of bone and other tooth-supporting structures; an outcome of periodontitis is periodontal pockets (Usin et al., 2014). This fact enables bacteria and their by-products to spread to areas indirectly through the

legislation specifies that eligible midwives working in private practice must operate under one of four collaborate models of care. These four collaborative models are as follows: Eligible midwives may be employed by an obstetric practitioner or an entity that employs an obstetric practitioner; eligible midwives may accept a written referral from a specified medical practitioner; eligible midwives may obtain a written agreement with a specified medical practitioner; or eligible midwives may have an

In the United States, cesarean delivery (CD) of newborns has increased as much as 48% since 1996 (1, 8-9). Many of these deliveries are performed by physicians for medical reasons; however, there are those performed at the request of the mother as well. There are a number of risks involved with a CD versus a vaginal delivery (VD) including neonatal depression due to the spinal anesthesia mothers receive, fetal injury due to forced delivery, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. In addition to

Abdominal pregnancy is one of the rarest types of ectopic pregnancy. About 1% of ectopic pregnancies in the United States are abdominal (10 out of every 100,000 pregnancies) [1]. The importance of such variety is not only related to the rarity of the diagnosis but also for the seriousness of its sequels; the maternal mortality rate is estimated to be about 5 per 1,000 cases, about seven times the rate for ectopic pregnancy in general, and about 90 times the rate for a normal delivery [2]. The term

This issue specifically relates to the field of obstetrics in health care. 4. What other academic discipline are possibly also related to the problem? This information could be used or serve of use to the area of health care related to endocrinology. 5. What special qualifications do you have as a researcher

EBP: Vaginal Birth after Cesarean Delivery Lauren Blaser University of Wyoming NURS 4055 Introduction The occurrence of cesarean deliveries is rising at a disturbing rate worldwide. In 2007, 31.8 percent of all births in the United States were performed by cesarean delivery (Heron, et al., 2010). As cited in the International Childbirth Education Association, 2004, about one third of the total cesarean deliveries are elective repeat cesareans. Thus, the purpose of this evidence-based inquiry

The midwife as distinguished by the Australian College of Midwives (ACM) (2016a) role is centred in a therapeutic relationship defined by “each woman’s social, emotional, physical, spiritual and cultural needs, expectations and context as defined by the woman herself” (para. 7). ACM position the midwife as the primary profession for quality maternity care founded during training, through the direction of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) “Code of Professional Conduct For Midwives
