This document discusses breech presentation in pregnancy. It defines breech presentation as when the buttocks, feet or feet are presenting instead of the head. It describes the different types of breech presentation and risk factors associated with breech presentation. The document summarizes findings from the Term Breech Trial which showed that planned cesarean section results in lower neonatal mortality and morbidity compared to planned vaginal delivery for breech babies at term. It provides guidance on factors that should be considered when determining if a vaginal breech delivery is appropriate and outlines recommendations for the management of breech labor and delivery.
“Difficulty encountered in the delivery of the fetal shoulders after delivery of the head.”
Shoulder dystocia is an unpredictable obstetric complication with the incidence of 0.15% to 2%.
An increase in the incidence of shoulder dystocia has been recorded over the last 20 years. Incidence appears to be increasing as birth weights increase.

A multifetal pregnancy is a pregnancy in which there are two or more fetuses in the uterus at the same time. This can include twin pregnancies, triplet pregnancies, and higher-order multiple pregnancies.
The most common type of multifetal pregnancy is twin pregnancy, which can be either fraternal (dizygotic) twins, which are formed from two separate eggs fertilized by two separate sperm, or identical (monozygotic) twins, which are formed when a single fertilized egg splits and develops into two separate embryos.
Risk factors for multifetal pregnancy include:
Advanced maternal age
Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as in vitro fertilization (IVF)
A family history of twin pregnancies
Use of ovulation-inducing drugs
The management of multifetal pregnancies can be challenging and requires close monitoring and specialized care. It can include ultrasound monitoring to assess the growth and well-being of each fetus, and to detect any potential complications such as twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) or selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR).
Due to the increased risk of complications, multifetal pregnancies are at a higher risk of preterm labor, cesarean delivery, and perinatal morbidity and mortality.
It's important to note that multifetal pregnancies should be managed by a team of specialists such as obstetricians, perinatologists, and pediatricians with experience in the care of multifetal pregnancies.
This presentation was prepared by me, Dr. P. Chizororo, to help fellow professionals understand one of the most common malpresentations, Breech presentation. Visit my YouTube channel, Nexus Medical Media for all pre-clinical subjects
The incidence of multiple gestation continues to increase, and now accounting for more than 3% of all live births.
Twin pregnancies and higher-order multiple births comprise an increasing proportion of the total pregnancies in the developed world due to the expanded use of fertility treatments and older maternal age at childbirth.
Multiple gestation is associated with:
Increase in neonatal morbidity and mortality rates.
Increase in maternal complications at least two folds.
The number of triplet, quadruplet, and higher-order multiple births peaked in 1998 and has dropped slightly recently, most likely because of limits in the number of embryos transferred and because of the availability and acceptance of multifetal pregnancy reduction (MFPR) procedures.
Prematurity, monochorionicity, and growth restriction pose the main risks to fetuses and neonates in multiple gestations.
The mean duration of pregnancy is 35.3 weeks for twin gestations, 31.9 weeks for triplets, and 29.5 weeks for quadruplets.
Stillbirth rates increase from 6.8 /1000 for singletons to 16.1 for twins and to 21.5 for triplets, and infant mortality rates increase from 5 to 23.4 and to 51.2 /1000 births, respectively.
Infants of multiple gestations comprise almost one quarter of very-low-birth-weight infants.
The incidence of severe handicap among neonatal survivors of multiple gestation is also increased: 34.0 and 57.5 /1000 twin and triplet survivors, respectively, compared with 19.7 /1000 singleton survivors.
Maternal morbidity is significantly increased in mothers with multiple gestations and is apparently related to the number of fetuses.
Multiple gestations are associated with significantly higher risks for:
Hypertension
Placental abruption
Preterm labor (78%)
Preeclampsia (26%);
HELLP syndrome (9%) (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets)
Anemia (24%)
Preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) (24%)
Gestational diabetes (14%)
Acute fatty liver (4%)
Chorioendometritis (16%)
Postpartum hemorrhage (9%)
Twins can be dizygotic (DZ), resulting from the fertilization of two separate ova during a single ovulatory cycle.
DZ twins have dichorionic-diamniotic (DCDA) placentas, although these may fuse during pregnancy.
Monozygotic (MZ), resulting from a single fertilized ovum that subsequently divides into two separate individuals.
In MZ twins, the timing of egg division determines placentation (تكون المشيمة):
Diamniotic, dichorionic (DCDA) placentation occurs with division prior to the morula stage (within 3 days post fertilization).
Diamniotic, monochorionic (MCDA) placentation occurs with division between 4-8 days postfertilization.
Monoamniotic, monochorionic (MCMA) placentation occurs with division between 8-12 days postfertilization.
Division at or after day 13 results in conjoined twins.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

MANAGEMENT OF ATRIOVENTRICULAR CONDUCTION BLOCK.pdfJim Jacob Roy
Cardiac conduction defects can occur due to various causes.
Atrioventricular conduction blocks ( AV blocks ) are classified into 3 types.
This document describes the acute management of AV block.
2. • The definition of breech
presentation is when the
buttocks, foot or feet are
presenting instead of the head
3. classifications
• Frank breech where the hips are flexed and
legs extended
• Complete breech where the hips and knees
are flexed and the feet are not below the level
of the fetal buttocks
• Footling breech where one or both feet are
presenting as the lowest part of the fetus
8. • The incidence of breech presentation
decreases from about 20% at 28 weeks of
gestation to 3–4% at term, as most babies
turn spontaneously to the cephalic
presentation
9. What information should be given
to women with breech
presentation regarding mode of
delivery?
10. Term Breech Trial 2000
• trials with 2396 participant
• Caesarean delivery 1060/1169 (91%) of those
women allocated to planned caesarean
section
• 550/1227 (45%) of allocated to a vaginal
delivery protocol
11. • Perinatal or neonatal death(excluding fatal
anomalies) or short-term neonatal morbidity
was reduced with a policy of planned
CS(RR 0.33, 95% CI 0.19–0.56) and perinatal or
neonatal death alone (excluding fatal
anomalies) was reduced with a policy of
planned caesarean section (RR 0.29, 95% CI
0.10–0.86)
12. • After excluding ,perinatal mortality, neonatal
mortality or serious neonatal morbidity with
planned caesarean section compared with
planned vaginal birth was 16/1006 (1.6%)
compared with 23/704 (3.3%) (RR 0.49; CI
0.26–0.91); P = 0.02).
13. adverse perinatal outcome was lowest with
prelabour caesarean section and increased
with caesarean section in labour
14. • In the latter study, of the 2526 women with
planned vaginal deliveries, 1796 delivered
vaginally (71%)
• The rate of neonatal morbidity or death was
considerably lower than the 5% in the Term
Breech Trial (1.60%; 95% CI 1.14–2.17), and
not significantly different from the planned
caesarean section group
15. • death or neurodevelopmental delayat age 2
years, was similar between the two groups.
16. Summary of TBT
• lower rates of perinatal and neonatal death
• lower rates of short term neonatal morbidity
or perinatal death
• fewer 5 minutes Apgar scores <7
• lower risk of adverse perinatal outcomes
• small increase in the short term maternal
morbidity
17. What factors affect the safety of
vaginal breech delivery
should be assessed
carefully before
selection for vaginal
breech birth
18. unfavourable for vaginal breech birth
• ● other contraindications to vaginal birth (e.g. placenta
praevia, compromised fetal condition)
• ● clinically inadequate pelvis
• ● footling or kneeling breech presentation
• ● large baby (usually defined as larger than 3800 g)
• ● growth-restricted baby (usually defined as smaller than 2000 g)
• ● Hyperextended fetal neck in labour (diagnosed with ultrasound or X-ray
where ultrasound is not available)
• ● lack of presence of a clinician trained in vaginal breech delivery
• ● previous caesarean section.
19. Intrapartum management
• should take place in a hospital with facilities
for emergency caesarean section
• Labour induction for breech presentation may
be considered if individual circumstances are
favourable
• Labour augmentation is not recommended
20. • Epidural analgesia should not be routinely
advised; women should have a choice of
analgesia during breech labour and birth.
21. • Continous electronic fetal heart rate
monitoring should be offered to women with
a breech presentation in labour.
• Fetal blood sampling from the buttocks during
labour is not advised.
22. • Caesarean section should be considered if
there is delay in the descent of the breech at
any stage in the second stage of labour.
• Episiotomy should be performed when
indicated to facilitate delivery.
23. • Three types of vaginal breech deliveries
Spontaneous breech delivery
Assisted breech delivery
Total breech extraction
24. Total breech extraction
• only with 2nd non
vextex twin delivery
• procedure in which the
infant's feet are grasped
by the operator and the
fetus is extracted from
the uterine cavity
through the vagina.
25. ECV
• External cephalic version (ECV) is the
transabdominal manual rotation of the fetus into
a cephalic presentation.
• after ECV successful rate 35-86%
• breech presentation at term, after ECV 1 - 1.5%
• indications for urgent caesarean after ECV 1 - 3%
• The risk of intrauterine death of foetus after ECV
is about 0.0001%
26.
27. contraindication to ECV
• preterm
• Multiple pregnancy
• significant third trimester bleeding
• IUGR,
• oligohydramnion
• PROM
• PIH
• nonreassuring foetal monitoring patterns
• all contraindications to vaginal birth are
concerned to execute ECV
28. Risk of ECV
• umbilical cord entanglement
• abruptio placenta
• premature rupture of the membranes (PROM)
• severe maternal discomfort
