21.4 ng/mL). No significant difference existed in the status at birth or developmental and behavior assessments of 2-year-old children conceived in both groups. Conclusions Daily addition of GnRH-a to standard LPS can achieve better pregnancy outcomes with a sustained safety profile in patients with a first IVF failure associated with LPD.Background We aimed to analyze the epidemiological and drug-resistance trends among bacterial cultures from perioperative infections in patients with primary ovarian cancer. Methods Medical and bacteriological records for patients with ovarian cancer patients who developed perioperative infections after primary cytoreductive surgery from 1999 to 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. Results The incidence of perioperative infections and the culture-positive percentage among patients in the first 10 years were 20.2% and 29.3%, respectively, and the equivalent rates in the second 10 years were 18.0% and 33.5%. The most commonly isolated pathogens in both year-groups were Escherichia coli and Enterococcus spp., but the respective percentages differed between the groups. Some strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus spp. in the second 10-year group were resistant to linezolid and vancomycin, and ciprofloxacin resistance among Gram-negative bacteria isolates also increased in this group. However, resistance of Gram-negative bacteria to imipenem and meropenem was low among in both groups. Conclusion The pathogen distribution in perioperative infections in patients with primary ovarian cancer undergoing cytoreductive changed slightly from 1999 to 2018, and the antibiotic resistance of the main isolated pathogens increased. These results indicate the importance of periodic bacterial surveillance of surgical infections in these patients.An 84-year-old woman complaining of acute-onset chest distress for 2 hours was referred to the Department of Cardiology, Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital, China. A physical examination showed signs of acute pulmonary edema with considerably elevated blood pressure of 186/120 mmHg. An electrocardiogram showed ST segment depression in leads I, II, and III, and from V4 to V6. A laboratory test showed markedly elevated creatine, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels. Echocardiography showed a mildly enlarged left ventricle with an ejection fraction of 43%. The patient was diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome, non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, and Killip 3 grade heart function. The non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events score was 156. Emergency coronary angiography showed severe three-vessel disease with a global ejection fraction of 50% based on left ventricular angiography. Selective renal artery angiography was performed and major stenosis at the ostia in both renal arteries was found. We did not touch the coronary artery, but performed intervention of the renal artery by implanting two bare metal stents in both ostia of bilateral renal arteries. An unexpected clinical benefit was obtained.Greig Cephalopolysyndactyly Syndrome (GCPS) is a very rare multiple congenital anomaly with an estimated incidence of 1-91,000,000 in newborns with principal findings of macrocephaly, ocular hypertelorism, and polysyndactyly (preaxial or mixed preaxial and postaxial). Very few cases of prenatal diagnoses have been reported. The postnatal diagnosis is based on clinical findings and family background. GLI3, the only gene associated with this anomaly, is altered in more than 75% of cases. Deletions over 1 Mb and involving other genes yield severe clinical cases, which are known collectively as Greig Cephalopolysyndactyly-contiguous gene Syndrome. We report a case in which, despite early polydactyly findings on week 16, the diagnosis was established during the third trimester of pregnancy due to the late presentation of other anomalies corresponding to this syndrome.Background There is uncertainty about the applicability of developed country triage scales in the developing population.Objective To develop and validate an obstetric triage scale in Iran.Methods This exploratory sequential mixed-method study was conducted on experienced gynecologists, emergency medicine, midwives, and nurses as evaluators, and pregnant or parturient women as sample. Development of obstetric triage acuity index was done using qualitative study and literature review. Thirty-two evaluators in two rounds evaluated the clinical impact score, content validity ratio, and content validity index. The tool performance was compared with a standard reference in 415 women. The association of urgency levels with hospitalization, resource utilization, and emergency department length of stay were assessed in 599 women. Five midwives independently double-triaged 234 convenience women to estimate inter-rater reliability.Results Out of 191 items in the initial draft, 9 (4.7%) items in the face validity, 33 (18idity and reliability in the tertiary teaching hospital. selleck inhibitor Studying this tool at lower levels, non-educational, and public hospitals are recommended for external validity testing.Airway management under anesthesia is given special attention in patients who have large goiters. Nasogastric tube insertion may be difficult in intubated patients with large goiters. Several methods have been proposed to facilitate the insertion of nasogastric tubes in patients with endotracheal intubation; however, a standard insertion method has not been established. A 33-year-old man was admitted to our otolaryngology department for right thyroid lobectomy to remove a larger goiter. A thyroid computed tomography scan revealed a huge cystic mass with tracheal displacement. Although difficult intubation was expected, endotracheal intubation was performed successfully. An anesthesiologist attempted nasogastric tube insertion via the right nostril; however, this was not successful. Next, an angiography catheter was placed in a nasogastric tube, and the nasogastric tube was gently inserted with the patient’s neck in mild flexion. This attempt also failed. Finally, the nasogastric tube was gently inserted via anterior displacement of the cricoid cartilage.
