The female pelvis is comprised of four bones - the two innominate bones, sacrum, and coccyx. It has several diameters and landmarks that are important for childbirth. The pelvis can be divided into the false pelvis, pelvic inlet, cavity, and outlet. The inlet is defined by the symphysis pubis, sacral promontory, and iliac bones. Its diameters include the true conjugate, obstetric conjugate, and transverse. The cavity and outlet also have anteroposterior and transverse diameters that are measured. Knowledge of the bones, diameters, and landmarks of the female pelvis is essential for midwives during labor and delivery.
The female pelvis is ideal for childbearing. Complete knowledge on it helps a obstetrician or midwife to conduct normal labour as well as detect any abnormalities related to abnormal pelvis.

Physiological changes in second stage of laborDR MUKESH SAH
There is an interplay of physiological processes occurring during the second stage of labour. Second stage is said to have two phases, latent and active. It is during the latent phase that the presenting part passes through the fully dilated cervix to the birth canal.
The second stage of labor begins when the cervix is completely dilated (open), and ends with the birth of your baby. Contractions push the baby down the birth canal, and you may feel intense pressure, similar to an urge to have a bowel movement. Your health care provider may ask you to push with each contraction.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

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!
3. FEMALE PELVIS
Knowledge of the female pelvis is very essential for
the midwife , especially during conduction of the
labor.
SHAPE
The pelvis is a basin shaped structure that supports
the spinal column and protects the abdominal
organs.
4.
5. FUNCTIONS
Protect the pelvic viscera.
Support the vertebral column
Facilitate locomotion
Childbearing
6. BONES OF PELVIS
The pelvis is comprised of four bones:
Two innominate bones
One sacrum
One coccyx
10. INNOMINATE BONE-ILIUM
The ilium is the large flared out part covering 1/3rd part of
acetabulum.
Inner upper wing like structure known wing/ala of ilium
The concave anterior surface of the ilium is the iliac
fossa.
Anterior lower border of ilium known iliopectineal line
which continues with pectineal line of pubis
Upper crest and at the front of the Crest can be felt a
bony prominence known as the anterior superior iliac
spine.
A short distance below it is the anterior inferior iliac
spine.
There are two similar points at the other end of the
iliac crest, namely the posterior superior and the
posterior inferior iliac spines.
11. INNOMINATE BONE-ISCHIUM
The Ischium is the thick lowest part formed by
lower 2/3rd lower part of acetabulum and ½
portion of obturator foramen.
It has a large prominence known as the
ischial tuberosity on which the body rests
when sitting.
In relation to the ischial spines In labour the
station of the foetal head is estimated
12. INNOMINATE BONE-PUBIS
The Pubic bone forms the anterior part by 1/3rd of
acetabulum and ½ obturator foramen.
It has a body and two rami—the superior and
inferior.
The projection between ilium and pubis known
as ileo pubic eminence
The rough portion just beside symphysis pubis is
pubic crest
13. Just beside pubic crest a projection called
pubic tubercle
The inferior borderline of the pubis is
pectineal line
The two pubic bones meet at the symphysis
pubis and two inferior rami form the pubic
arch, merging into a similar ramus on the
ischium.
On the lower border of the innominate bone
are found two curves the greater sciatic
notch and the lesser sciatic notch
14. II. THE SACRUM
The Sacrum is a wedge-shaped bone
consisting of five fused vertebrae.
The upper border of the first sacral
vertebra projects forward and is
known as the sacral promontory.
The anterior surface of the sacrum is
concave and is referred as the hollow
of the sacrum.
It has two wings or ala.
16. Parts of Pelvis
The pelvis is divided in two sections:
i) The False Pelvis
The false pelvis is formed by the iliac portions of
the innominate bones and is limited above by the
iliac crests.
It has got little obstetric significance except that
its measurements can to a certain extent, predict
the size and configuration of the true pelvis.
Its only obstetric function is to support the
enlarged uterus during pregnancy.
Its boundaries are : posteriorly — lumbar
vertebrae, laterally -— iliac fossa and anteriorly —
anterior abdominal wall.
17. ii) The True Pelvis
This part of the pelvis is chiefly of concern to the
obstetricians, as it forms the canal through which the
fetus has to pass. It is shallow in front, formed by
symphysis pubis and deep posteriorly, formed by the
sacrum and coccyx.
19. LANDMARKS OF PELVIC INLET/BRIM
1. Symphysis pubis
2. Pubic crest
3. Pubic tubercle
4. Pectineal line
5. Ilio-pubic eminence
6. Iliopectineal line
7. Sacroiliac articulation
8. Anterior border of ala of
sacrum
9. Sacral promontary
20. DIAMETERS IF PELVIC INLET
1.Antero posterior diameter: it is
divided into 3 conjugates
Anatomical or true conjugate
diameter: the : It is the distance
between the midpoint of the sacral
promontory to the inner margin of
the upper border of symphysis
It measures 11 cm
21. Obstetric conjugate diameter: It is the
distance between the midpoint of the
sacral promontory to prominent bony
projection in the midline on the inner
surface of the symphysis pubis
It measures 10 cm
Diagonal conjugate diameter: It is the
distance between the lower border of
symphysis pubis to the midpoint on
the sacral promontory.
It measures 12 cm
22. DIAMETERS IF PELVIC INLET
II. Oblique diameter:
There are two oblique diameters
— right and left.
Each one extends from one
sacroiliac joint to the opposite
iliopubic eminence
It measures 12 cm
23. DIAMETERS IF PELVIC INLET
III.Transverse diameter:
It is the distance between the two
farthest points on the pelvic brim
over the iliopectineal lines.
It measures 13 cm
24. DIAMETERS IF PELVIC CAVITY
Cavity is the segment of the pelvis bounded above by the
inlet and below by plane of least pelvic dimensions.
Antero-posterior diameter (12 cm) : It measures from the
mid-point on the posterior surface of the symphysis pubis
to the junction of 2nd and 3rd sacral vertebrae
Transverse diameter (12cm) : It cannot be precisely
measured as the points lie over the soft tissues covering
obturator foramen
25. DIAMETERS OF PELVIC OUTLET
Divided into Two outlets: Obstetric outlet and anatomical outlet
Obstetric outlet: Its anterior wall is deficient at the pubic arch; its
lateral walls are formed by ischial bones and the posterior wall
includes whole of the coccyx.
Anteroposterior diameter: It extends from the inferior border of
the symphysis pubis to the tip of the sacrum .it measures about
11cm.
Transverse diameter: It is the distance between the tip of two
ischial spines.it measures about 10.5cm (bispineal)
26. Anatomical outlet: It is otherwise known as bony outlet. It is
bounded in front by the lower border of the symphysis pubis;
laterally by the ischiopubic rami, ischial tuberosity and
sacrotuberous ligament and posteriorly by the tip of coccyx
Anteroposterior diameter: It extends from the lower border of
the symphysis pubis to the tip of the coccyx. It measures 13
cm
Transverse diameter: Inter tuberous .It measures between
inner borders of ischial tuberosities by 11cm.
