RESUMO
To report our clinical experience of the effectiveness and safety of applying beta-lynch suture for the management of primary postpartum haemorrhage. An observational, cross-sectional study. This study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Peoples Medical College Hospital Nawabshah from 1[st] January 2009 to 30 [th] June 2010. All the patients of primary postpartum haemorrhage in whom compression and conventional ecobolic had failed to achieve uterine contraction and haemostasis were subjected to beta-lynch suture. beta-lynch suture technique was applied in 33 patients, in 22 patients after vaginal delivery and in 11 patients at the time of cesarean section. This technique was successful in 31 [93.94%] patients and failed in only 2 [6.1%]. Patients who were proceeded to hysterectomy, none of the patient had infection. beta-lynch suture compresses and envelopes the uterus and manages massive life threatening postpartum haemorrhage successfully. It is effective, simple and fertility conserving procedure

To determine the maternal factors associated with low birth weight babies in women age of 15-35 years. Case control study. This study was carried out in the department of gynecology and obstetrics, Isra University Hospital [IUH] Hyderabad, Sindh from 02-05-2009 to 02-11-2009. Total 200 women were included in the study.100 as cases and 100 as control. Mothers aged 15-35 years, who deliver live or dead singleton baby through vaginal delivery or cesarean section after 37 week of gestation were included in the study while others who have delivered newborn with congenital abnormalities, had multiple pregnancy or known chronic illness [hypertension, tuberculosis, diabetes mellitus] were excluded from the study. The mean +/- SD of maternal age [years] in cases was26.40 +/- 4.77 and controls was 26.23 +/- 4.36 with P-value 0.739. The mean +/- SD of maternal weight [Kg] in cases was 53.13 +/- 8.93 and in controls was 64.97 +/- 13.72 with P-value < 0.001. Maternal history of smoking and anemia had significant association with low birth weight with P-Value of 0.005 and <0.001 respectively. It was concluded from our study that malnutrition, anemia, short stature like under weight and height are important risk factors for low birth weight
RESUMO
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy acceptability and dose of misoprostol sublingually in the management first trimester pregnancy failure. Observational Study. This study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Peoples Medical College Hospital Nawabshah from 01.01.2010 to 31.12.2010. A total 150 patients with the diagnosis of missed and incomplete miscarriage upto 13 weeks gestation. All eligible women who consented were counseled and given detail information protocol. A total of 150 patients with missed miscarriage 119 [79.33%] and incomplete miscarriage 31 [20.66%].The mean age group 28.34 years ,mean parity 4.79 and mean gestational age 8.61 weeks. Efficacy was 92%, 127 [84.66%] had complete miscarriage by the end of 7 days with 2 doses of misoprostol 600ug sublingually 3 hours apart. 23 [15.33%] require 3rd dose of misoprostol and 11 [7.33%] underwent surgical evacuation. Patients satisfaction was 94% [141 patients]. Misoprostol prove with benefit of efficacy, safety and acceptability in first trimester pregnancy failure. In low resources countries achieve infection haemorrhage and uterine damage can for two commonly reported on consequences of post surgical care. Misoprostol treatment can prove to be a rewarding step towards reducing morbidity and mortality

RESUMO
To study the prevalence of eclampsia, its related maternal morbidity, mortality and perinatal outcome. Observational Study. This study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Peoples Medical College Nawabshah from 1st January 2009 to 31st December 2009. All the patients admitted with eclampsia were included in this study and they were analyzed according to their age, parity, duration of gestation, timing of convulsions, mode of delivery, complications and feto-maternal outcome. 107 patients of eclampsia presented during the study period, giving a frequency of 2.43%.

Majority of the patients belong to 15-24 years age group and found to be statistically significant [p-0.000]. Primi gravida [65%] were highly effected population. 57% [62] patients had fits in antenatal period while 9.3% [10] patients had intrapartum and 32% [35] patients had postpartum fits. Vaginal was the commonest mode of delivery 49 [45.5%].

Regarding the neonatal outcome, 64.5% [69] were born alive, 20.6% [22] were IUD and 15% [16] were dead during neonatal period mostly due to prematurity [75.7%].Eclampsia is a big challenge in obstetrics, it can lead to very high maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. It is a 3rd commonest cause of maternal death in developing countries. Community health education coupled with availability of emergency obstetric and neonatal care service at doorstep would reduce the incidence of eclampsia and its associated morbidity and mortality in Pakistan
