Uterine Rupture
Deepa Mishra
Assistant Professor (OBG)
Introduction
Uterine rupture is when the muscular wall of the uterus tears during pregnancy or childbirth
Symptoms while classically including increased pain, vaginal bleeding, or a change in contractions are not always present.
Disability or death of the mother or baby may result.
Definition
Uterine rupture is giving way of gravid uterus or dissolution in the continuity of uterine wall anytime after 28 weeks of gestation with or without expulsion of the fetus.
Incidence
Rates of uterine rupture during vaginal birth following one previous C-section, done by the typical technique, are estimated at 0.9%
Rates are greater among those who have had multiple prior C-sections or an atypical type of C-section.
In those who do have uterine scarring, the risk during a vaginal birth is about 1 per 12,000
Risk of death of the baby is about 6%
Etiology
Risk Factors
Previous cesarean section
Myomectomy
Dysfunctional labor
Labor augmentation by oxytocin or prostaglandins
High parity
First pregnancy- very rare
Types of uterine rupture
Complete Rupture
All the layers including peritoneum are torn and the uterine contents escape into the peritoneal cavity.
Usually results in death
Incomplete Rupture
Visceral peritoneum is intact and usually the fetus remains in the uterine cavity
Sign & Symptoms
Uterine dehiscence and abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding
Deterioration of fetal heart rate
Loss of fetal station on manual vaginal exam
Hypovolemic shock due to intrabdominal bleeding
Chest pain between the scapulae, pain during inspiration due to irritation of blood below the perineum
Cessation of uterine contractions
Palpation of fetus outside the uterus
Signs of abdominal pregnancy
Post term pregnancy
Diagnosis
Signs of obstructed labor with dehydration, exhaustion, tachycardia raised temperature tonic contraction , pathological retraction ring
Absent fetal heart sound
On PV hot, dry vagina with a large caput over the presenting part
Prevention
Early diagnosis and management of CPD mal presentation and obstructed labor
Proper selection of cases for vaginal delivery

In ectopic pregnancy, implantation occupies at a site other than the endometrium. Ectopic pregnancies are responsible for approximately 10 percent of all maternal mortality. The prognosis for future reproduction is poor. Only one half of women having an ectopic pregnancy are eventually delivered of a liveborn infant. Various factors contribute to ectopic pregnancies, the most common being infection. Unlike intrauterine spontaneous abortions, genetic factors are not paramount in the etiology of ectopic pregnancy.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

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.

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!
2. ECTOPIC PREGNANCY
Definition
An Ectopic Pregnancy is one in which
fertilized ovum is implanted and develops
outside the normal uterine cavity.
Type
• Acute Ectopic
• Chronic Ectopic
5. INCIDENCE
• Recent evidence indicates that the incidence of
ectopic pregnancy has been rising in many
countries.
• USA- 5 fold: UK- 2 fold
• India - 1 in 100 deliveries
• Recurrence rate
15% after 1 ectopic pregnancy
25 % after 2 ectopic pregnancies
6. AETIOLOGY
Factors Preventing OR delaying migration
of fertilized ovum.
CHRONIC PID
DEFECT OF TUBE
IATROGENIC
TRANS PERITONIAL MIGRATION
TUBAL SPASM
7. Chronic PTD
• Loss of Cilia
• Narrowing of tubal lumen
• Adhesions between mucosal Folds
• Kinking Peritubal adhesions
Defects of tube
• Elongation
• Diverticula's
• Accessory Ostia
16. EARLY DIAGNOSIS
At 4-5 weeks:
• TVS can visualize a G-sac
• serum beta HCG levels are > 1600 mIU/ml
• When Beta HCG levels are greater than above
levels and there is an empty uterine cavity on
TVS, ectopic pregnancy can be suspected.
• when the value of Beta HCG does not double
in 48 hrs, ectopic pregnancy is suggestive
17. EARLY DIAGNOSIS
After 5 weeks
• tubal ring by 6 wks.
• After 5 mm D : as a complete sonoluscent sac with the
yolksac & embryonic pole with or without fetal heart
activity.
• Demonstration of the G sac with or without a live
embryo (Begel’s sign)-
• Ruptured ectopic with fluid in POD and an empty
uterus.
color doppler, the vascular colour in a characteristic
placental shape fire pattern can be seen outside the
uterine cavity while the uterine cavity is cold in respect
to blood flow.

• Salpingostomy/ Salpingotomy indicated when
• Pt Desire to conserve her fertility
• Patient is haemodinamically stable
• Tubal preg is accessible
• Unruptured & < 5 cm Size
• Contralateral tube absent or damaged.
• Chapron et al (1993) have described a scoring system to
decide which surgical treatment to be taken up based on
patients previous gynae history & appearance of pelvic
organs-
22. FERTILITY REDUCING FACTOR SCORE
• Antecedent one ectopic 2
• Antecedent each further ectopic 1
• Antecedent Adhesiolysis 1
• Antecedent Tubal microsugery 2
• Antecedent salpingitis 1
• Solitary tube 2
• Homolateral Adhesions 1
• Contralateral Adhesions 1
• Conservative surgery is indicated with a score of 1-4 only, while
radical treatment to be performed if score is 5 or more.
• Rationale behind the scoring system is to decide the risk of
recurrent ectopic preg.
23. • Medical Treatment by Methotrexate
• The Antineoplastic drug which acts as a folic acid antagonist and
is highly effective against rapidly proliferating trophoblast.
• Used when 1. Ectopic mass size < 3.5 cm
2. Preg < 6 wks.
3. beta HCG levels < 15,000 MIU/ ml.
• Dose – Single dose - 50 mg / m2 IM.
Measure beta HCG levels on days 4 & 7 .
If difference is > 15% : repeat weekly until undetectable
If Difference is < 15% : repeat 2nd dose of methotrexate
& begin now day 1
If fetal cardiac activity present on day 7, repeat dose &
begin day 1.
Surgical treatment if beta HCG levels not decreasing or fetal
cardiac activity present after 3 doses.
24. PERSISTENT ECTOPIC PREGNANCY (PEP)
• This is a complication of salpingotomy/
salpingostomy
• When residual trophoplast continues to survive
because of incomplete evacuation of ectopic preg.
• Diagnosis made because of raised postoperative beta
HCG.
• Treatment reoperation & Salpingectomy
Administration of IM/ oral
Methotrexate in a single dose of
50 mg/m2
25. CHRONIC ECTOPIC PREGNANCY
• INVESTIGATIONS :
1. Laboratory/ Chemical Test-
• Serial quantitative beta HCG level by RIA
• Serum progesterone level ( < 5 ng / ml in ectopic )
• Low levels of tropholastic proteins such as SPI & PAPP –
Placental protein 14 & 12.
2. USG – usually haematocele is found.
3. Laparoscopy
• TREATMENT : Mainly Surgical
• Salpingectomy of the offending tube
• If pelvic haematocele is infected, posterior colpotomy is to
be done to drain the pelvic abscess.
• Salpingoopherectomy
26. Surgical
Laparotomy Laparoscopy
• Hospital Cost More? Less?
• Post op Adhesions More Less
• Recurrence Same Same
• Future fertility Same Same
• Experience Surgeon Trained Special
