This document outlines protocols for managing multiple pregnancies, including twins and triplets. It discusses ultrasound monitoring schedules to assess chorionicity, growth, anatomy and complications. It recommends referral to specialist centers for complex or high-risk cases like monochorionic twins. Guidelines are provided for timing of delivery based on gestational age and chorionicity/amnionicity. Vaginal delivery is considered for uncomplicated dichorionic twins presenting vertex, while C-section is preferred for monochorionic twins. Postnatal support includes advice on breastfeeding and contraception.
Adherent placenta occurs when there is a defect in the decidua basalis, Resulting in an abnormal invasion of the placenta directly into the substance of the uterus
Uterus Transplantation Utx (obstetric and gynecology) D.A.B.M
Is the surgical procedure whereby a healthy uterus is transplanted into an organism of which the uterus is absent or diseased.
As part of normal mammalian sexual reproduction, a diseased or absent uterus does not allow normal embryonic implantation, effectively rendering the female infertile.
This phenomenon is known as Absolute Uterine Factor Infertility (AUFI).
Uterine transplant is a potential treatment for this form of infertility.
Uterus is a dynamic, complex organ. It is hugely blood-flow dependent.
More than 116,000 Number of men, women and children on the national transplant waiting list as of August 2017.
33,611 transplants were performed in 2016.
20 people die each day waiting for a transplant.
every 10 minutes another person is added to the waiting list.

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.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

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

Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
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
