The puerperium period lasts from the third stage of labor until 6 weeks postpartum. During this time, the body returns to a non-pregnant state as the uterus shrinks back to normal size by 6 weeks. Women are at highest risk for venous thromboembolism in the early puerperium. Lochia discharge lasts around 3 weeks. Lactation is established and the endometrium regenerates within a few weeks if not breastfeeding and a few months if breastfeeding. The majority of postpartum psychological issues resolve spontaneously, but some women develop postpartum depression or psychosis and require treatment. Exclusive breastfeeding provides effective contraception for the first 6 months postpart

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Puerperium
• The puerperium is the period from after 3rd stage of
labor to 6 weeks after delivery
• During the puerperium the pelvic organs return to the
non - gravid state, the metabolic changes of pregnancy
are reversed and lactation is established
• the early puerperium is especially dangerous and most
maternal deaths occur during this time
• It carries the highest risk of developing VTE
3. The uterus
• By 6 weeks after birth the uterus has returned to its
normal size (100 g )
• cells diminish in size &no effect on the number of
muscle cells
• Immediately after labor the uterus is 12 cm above the
symphysis pubis (4 cm below umbilicus)
• no longer palpable abdominally by 2 weeks after
delivery
• by the end of the second week the internal os
should be closed
2 weeks cant be felt , 6 weeks prepregnancy size
4. Time Uterus size
Day 1 post partum 18 weeks size
Day 7 14 weeks
Day 14 12 weeks
After day 14 Not palpable
5. • Hemostasis immediately by arterial smooth muscle
contraction and compression of vessels by the uterine
muscle.
• Lochia:
red (rubra )
yellow (serosa)(3rd-4th day)
white mucopurulent(alba)
mean duration of 22 – 27 days.
6. • A new endometrium will grow from the
basal layers of the decidua but this is
influenced by the method of infant
feeding
• new endometrium within 3 – 4 weeks if
non lactating and few months if lactating
7. Ovarian function
• Lactating women:
- Ovulation – after 6 months
- Prolactin levels decrease back to normal levels after 6 weeks
- Amenorrhea
• Non-lactating women:
- Ovulation – 70 days
- Menstruation resumes after 7 weeks.
- Prolactin levels decrease back to normal levels after 3 weeks
8. Hematological & CVS changes
COP , SV , HR will be normal in 2 days
Blood pressure and plasma volume will increased
initially for few days then return to normal
Coagulation factors and platelets will return to
normal in 3-6 weeks
Initial rise in platelets then back to normal
Initial rise in WBc then return to normal
9. Thyroid function
• Size will be normal by 12 weeks
and level of hormones will be
normal in 4 weeks
10. Weight loss
• There is an immediate loss of 5 kg following
birth due to the baby, the placenta, amniotic
fluid and blood loss that occurs at delivery
• Most will return to pre pregnancy weight by 6
months but some will gain a net weight of 5
kgs
• Breast feeding is not related to weight loss if
less than 6 months
11. Hair loss
• May occur … needs 6 months to 1 year to
return to normal
13. Urinary tract
• The hydrouretur and pelvic dilation in
the kidneys are almost eliminated by 2-
3 weeks and completely return to
normal by 6-8 weeks after birth
• Catheterization and manipulation may
lead to UTI (Ecoli )
• Urine retention is common
(PG, epidural and instrumental )
(48 hours catheterization )
To minimize the risk women with spinal
anesthesia , leave catheter for 12 hrs
14. Anal incontinence
• Especially those with 3rd and 4th degree tears
and forceps delivery
• Symptoms occur in 6-10 %
• Sonographic evidence in 1/3 of PG and 70 % in
patients delivered using(asymptomatic)
• Most of them will be asymptomatic by 12
months
• Pelvic floor exercise
15. Secondary postpartum
hemorrhage
Defined as : bleeding from the genital tract between 24
hours and 6 weeks after delivery
Rule out endometritis and retained POC
Antibiotic , uterotonic , evacuation ?
Secondary PPH , fever , abdominal pain and offensive discharge is
suggestive for endometritis and needs admission with IV
antibiotics
16. Nerve injury
• Meralgia (lateral cutaneous femoral nerve)
• Foot drop (common peroneal nerve)
• Nerve injuries in CS: ilioinguinal, iliohypogastic
• Femoral nerve palsy : medial anterior thigh
numbness and unable to flex knee
17. Perineal pain
• 80 % in the first 3 days (maybe up to 10 days)
• Spontaneous opening of repaired perineal
tears and episiotomies is usually the result of
secondary infection , leave for secondary
intention
18. VTE & PE
• Pulmonary embolism is the most serious cause
of death in the puerperium
• VTE is the most common cause of direct
maternal death
• Assess the risk and manage accordingly but
hydration and early manipulation is essential
+-LMWH
19. Postpartum fever
• It is the presence of fever > 38c, >2 occasions, >6 hours
apart excluding the first 24 hours
• UTI ( E Coli )
• Endometritis (polymicrobial and 50% GAS ) 5%
• wound infection(staph aureus )
• septic thrombophlebitis
• Mastitis (staph aureus )
• Sepsis (GAS )
22. • Present with 2ry PPH , abdominal pain , uterine
tenderness , foul smelling discharge , signs of sepsis
• Polymicrobial
• Cs , PPROM , PTL , GBS and chlamydia positive are at
higher risk
• Treated as inpaitnet with IV amp, Genta +-
metronidazole , or by piperacillin azopactam
(other regimens are used )
Endometritis
25. Mastitis
• Stasis of milk and engorgement of breast with
infection
• Most commonly by staph aureus
• Treated with antibiotic (flucloxacillin, clindamycin)
• Abscess needs breast ultrasound and drainage with
antibiotic cover
26.
27.
28.
29. Psychological disorders
The ‘pinks’:
for the first 24–48 hours following
delivery elevation of mood, a feeling
of excitement, overactivity and
difficulty sleeping.
30. • 80%
• the first 2 weeks after delivery.
• Fatigue, short temper, difficulty sleeping, depressed mood
and tearfulness
• Resolves spontaneously in the majority of cases
• Reassurance & support
• (no need for admission or medications)
BLUES
31. Depression
• 10-15 %
• Occur around 6 weeks postnatal
• Screened by Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale
Risk factors for postnatal depressive illness
• Past history of psychiatric illness.
• Depression during pregnancy.
• Obstetric factors (e.g. caesarean section/fetal or
neonatal loss).
• Social isolation and deprivation.
• Poor relationships.
• Recent adverse life events (bereavement/illness).
• Severe postnatal ‘blues’.
32. • Symptoms :
Lack of interest
Impaired concentration.
Tearfulness.
Feelings of guilt and failure.
Anxiety
Treatment :
• Cognitive–behavioral therapy (1st line )
• Drug therapy (second line or history of depression) SSRI
33. Postpartum psychosis
• 0.1-0.2 %
• Occur after 4 weeks postnatally
• Usually there is a history of psychological
illness (personal or family )
• refer urgently to a psychiatrist
• Admit to a mother-and-baby unit
36. Prolactin and return of
menstrual cycle
• Prolactin level return to normal in 3 weeks if
not lactating and remain elevated if lactating
• In lactating women average period for
menstruation is 7 months (28 weeks ) and
ovulation needs further 2 months (9 months )
• Lactational method as contraception has 98 %
success rate if * exclusively breastfeeding ,
less than 6 months , amenorrhea .
38. •Protection against infections:
(IgA ,lysosome, lactoferrin , enhance flora )
Breast-feeding largley protects against
gastrointestinal tract infections and to a lesser
extent against respiratory tract infections.
reduced incidence of diarrhea and vomitting
compared to thoses who are bottle-fed
Advantage of breast milk
39. • improved childhood cognitive functions
• decreases the incidence of atopic illness such as eczema
and asthma
• decreased risk of juvenile DM and neoplastic disease
- protects preterm infants from developing necrotizing
enterocolitis
- Artificially fed children have twice the risk of developing
childhood obesity and high blood pressure than breast-fed
children
- There is a decreased risk of breast cancer among women
who breastfeed their babies
• -
Advantage of breast milk…..
40. Physiology of lactation
• At puberty, estrogen , growth hormone promotes
ducts growth
• Progesterone promotes growth of milk-producing
alveolar cells
• After delivery, progesterone levels fall allowing the
positive effect of prolactin on milk production
• During pregnancy progesterone , estrogen , growth
hormone , HPL , prolactin helps in breast tissue
prperation and milk production
41. Milk production and ejection
• Milk production is stimulated by prolactin which acts on
glandular cells of the breast to stimulate milk secretion
• Milk ejection is stimulated by oxytocin which acts on
myoepithelial cells that contract causing milk ejection
• Prolactin and oxytocin secretion is stimulated by
suckling, and oxytocin secretion is also stimulated by
seeing the infant or hearing its cry
44. Lactation as a contraceptive
method
• Lactation can be 98% effective as
contraception if:
- The infant is exclusively breastfed,
- Lactation is done regularly at intervals of 4
hours during the day and 6 hours during the
night
- Before 6 months
- Amenorrhea
45. Mechanism of lactational amenorrhea:
- Suckling alters hypothalamic sensitivity to estrogen,
making it more sensitive to negative feedback than
positive feedback.
- The pituitary produces enough FSH and LH to start
follicle development but the consequent estrogen
secretion will inhibit gonadotropins production thus
failure of ovulation occurs .
46. Postpartum contraception
COC : 6 months if breast feeding
3 weeks if not breast feeding
POP :
after 3 weeks if breast feeding and immediately if not breast
feeding
IUCD : not less than 28 days or within 48 hrs*
Cap : 6 weeks
Injectable : 6 weeks (can be earlier )
