Cleidotomy
CRANIOTOMY
Definition
It is an operation to make a perforation on the fetal head to evacuate the contents followed by extraction of the fetus
DECAPITATION
Definition
It is a destructive operation whereby the fetal head is severed from the trunk and the delivery is completed with the extraction of the trunk and that of the decapitated head per vaginam
CLEIDOTOMY
Definition
The operation consist of reduction in the bulk of the shoulder girdle by division of one or both the clavicles
Indications
Dead fetus with shoulder dystocia
Procedure
The clavicles are divided by the embryotomy scissors or long straight scissors introduced under the guidance of left two fingers placed inside the vagina
When fetal head is delivered, but shoulders are stuck and cannot be delivered it is known as shoulder dystocia.
The anterior shoulder becomes trapped behind on the symphysis pubis, whilst the posterior shoulder may be in the hollow of the sacrum or high above the sacral promontory.

Criteria for preterm labor, evaluation, diagnosis and management of preterm labor. Very summarized and very informative. MSF's guidelines and uptodate recommendations.
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.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Follow us on: Pinterest
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.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

10. •Shifirin & Cohen(1998):
1.Disorders of dilatation:
a. Prolonged latent phase
b. Protracted active phase
c. Secondary arrest
2.Disorders of descent:
a. Failure of descent
b. Protracted descent
c. Arrest of descent.
12. Early diagnosis
1. Partogram: In active phase
Alert line: drawn from cervical dilatation
on admission ,at a rate of 1 cm /h
Action line: drawn 2 h to the right of alert
line (Philpott,1972).
2. Nomogram (Studd,1973):
labor stencil: a series of curves from patient
admission cervical dilatation to 10 cm.
13.
14.
15.
16. Prevention
O,Driscol method of active
management of labor (1969)
• Diagnosis of labor
• 1 h: ARM
• 2h:cervical dilatation <1 cm /h:
oxytocin drip
17. Prolonged latent phase
Define
Freidman: > 20 h in PG, > 14 h in MG
from onset of labor (difficult to determine)
Philpott:> 6h in PG , > 4h in MG from
admission in labor.
Incidence
PG: 4% MG: 1%
18. Etiology
1. Wrong diagnosis of labor
2.Excess sedation
3. An abnormal or high presenting part
4. PROM
5.Idiopathic.
Risks
are created by aggressive intervention.
If membranes are intact, no risk , only
maternal anxiety.
19. Treatment
True labor or not: PV, CTG, palpation of the
cervix & reexamine after 4h:
1.C stop or no cx changes: not in labor
2. C persist & no cervical changes: sedation.
3. C. persist & cx changes : ARM + Syntocinon
drip. A. In 85% labor will progress rapidly .
B.In 15% adequate C will not cause cx
dilatation. If after 4-8 h of syntocinon, the
cervix is not further dilated, CS.
20. Primary dysfunctional labor
Define
Cx. Dil. < 1cm/h before normal active phase has
been established
Incidence
PG: 20% MG: 8%
Etiology
1. Inefficient C.: the commonest
2. CPD: 1/ 3
3. Malpresentation or malposition
21. Risks
1. F. distress
2. Maternal fear & anxiety , dehydration &
acidosis
3. Incordinate u. activity.
Treatment
Exclude CPD, ARM + oxytocin drip.
15%: vag. Delivery
35%: instrumental delivery
50%: CS for F. distress.
22. 2ndry arrest of labor
Define
Active phase started normally( cervical
dilatation reached 5-7 cm ) then cervical
dilatation stop or slows significantly within 2 h
Incidence
PG: 6% MG: 2%
Etiology
1.CPD:50%
2. Malposition
25. Prolonged deceleration
phase
Define
Arrest or slow of cervical dilatation after 8 cm
(PG > 3h , MG > 1h)
Etiology
1. CPD 2. Uterine exhaustion
Risks
1. High incidence of shoulder dystocia
2. Forceps is difficult
Treatment
Syntocinon is not helpful. C.S.
26. Elnashar et al (2000) compared oxytocin
infusion alone & with propranolol in the
management of DL (Primary DL & 2ndry
arrest).
The study group (50 women) was given propranolol
I.V. in a dose of 2 mg to be repeated after one hour if
there was no response in cervical dilatation.
The control group (50 women) & the study group
received oxytocin infusion for at least 4 hours & for
maximum of 6 hours & if there was no response,CS
was done.
27. There were a significant differences in the drug-
delivery interval (2.2 vs 3.7 hours) & CS rate (20 vs
38 %) between the study & the control groups.
Between the two groups, no statistically significant
differences were observed in low Apgar scores or
incidence of admissions to the NICU.
Conclusion: Propranolol combined with
oxytocin infusion in management of DL safely
shortened the drug-delivery interval & reduced
CS rate.
29. Protocol
1.This approach to management is confined to
nulliparas.
2. Patient education during pregnancy: signs &
symptoms of labor
3.Strict criteria for diagnosis of labor:
painful uterine contractions as well as
complete effacement of the cervix,
ruptured membranes or
passage of blood stained mucous
The diagnosis of labor is made within 1 hr of
presentation.
30. 4.Each woman in labor is assigned to
trained professional companion.
5.Amniotomy within 1 hr of admission.
6.Strict criteria for diagnosis of abnormal labor
progress. partogram or labor graph.
7.Oxytocin high dose infusion:
if progress of labor is < 1 cm/h over 2 h.
Oxytocin infusion is begun at 6mu/min &
increased by 6 mu/min every 15 min until 7
C/15min. or 40 mu/min.
31. 8.Assess FHR by auscultation
intermittently Continuous electronic fetal
heart rate monitoring is used only if there is
me conium stained amniotic fluid
9.All methods of pain relief are freely
available.
10. C.S if no delivery12 hr post admission
or if fetal scalp ph sampling revealed fetal
compromise.
32. Benefits
1.Prevention of dysfunctional labor
2.Decrease the incidence of prolonged labor
from 30% to 7% (Boylan,1997)
3.Decrease incidence of operative delivery.
4. Decrease maternal infectious mrbidity
5.Decrease incidence of C.S to 4.8% (Lopez-
Zeno,1992).
Some found no decrease in CS rate (Fraser et
al,1993) & others found an increase in CS rate
(Boylan et al,1993).
33. Amniotomy for shortening
spontaneous labour
Fraser et al, The Cochrane Library, 2, 2001.
Routine early amniotomy is associated with
both benefits and risks.
•Benefits include a reduction in labor
duration( between 60 and 120 minutes) and
a possible reduction in abnormal 5-minute
Apgar scores.
34. •No support for the hypothesis that routine
early amniotomy reduces the risk of CS.
Indeed there is a trend toward an increase
in CS. An association between early
amniotomy and CS for fetal distress is
noted in one large trial.
This suggests that amniotomy should be
reserved for women with abnormal labor
progress.
