Title: Identity Effects of Differential Gender Socialization on Young Adolescents’ Aspirations for First Child and Marriage in Ouagadougou: A Mixed-Methods Study

Previous studies show that gender socialization develops differentiated gender identities in girls and boys, influencing their self-esteem and sexual behaviors. Although early adolescence is considered a pivotal period for gender socialization, few studies in Francophone Africa investigate the role of gender identity effects from this process on sexual and reproductive health aspirations and behaviors among this population. This article uses data from young adolescents and parents in Ouagadougou to examine how the outcomes of gender socialization among girls and boys are associated with their aspirations for marriage and having their first child. The results show that young adolescents adhere to unequal gender norms. This leads to girls having earlier aspirations for marriage and later aspirations for childbearing, while boys have earlier aspirations for childbearing and later aspirations for marriage. These differential effects can expose girls and boys to risks of poor sexual and reproductive health. Interventions promoting gender-equitable norms could strengthen girls’ self-esteem and mutual respect between the sexes, thereby improving their sexual and reproductive health during youth and adulthood.

Title: To BE or Not to B: the application of Uterine Compression sutures to Reduce Blood Loss after myomectomy.

Introduction: The aim was to assess the hemostatic impact of B-Lynch sutures following an open myomectomy for efficacy.

Material and methods: In this prospective clinical research, performed in Alazhar University Hospitals (Al-Hussain, Damietta, Assiut) and Minia University Maternity Hospital, 250 women scheduled for open myomectomy between January 2021 and January 2023 had multiple fibroid uteri with uterine sizes corresponding to 12–22weeks. There were two groups of women. Group I (125) underwent standard open myomectomy surgery, whereas Group II (125) underwent normal open laparotomy surgery followed by B-Lynch sutures. Certain inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to every patient. We recorded vital data, length of the procedure, complications (bleeding during the procedure, bleeding from multiple bites, bladder injury, fever, wound infection), complete blood count before and after surgery, need for blood transfusion, postoperative vital data, time until ambulation, passing flatus, and ability to eat and drink, as well as the amount of blood lost during and after the procedure.

Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in age, parity, weight, number of fibroids, or uterine size as measured by ultrasonography. Between groups I and II, there was a significant difference in the average intraoperative blood loss (Group I lost 562.6 ml, whereas Group II lost 411.3 ml) as well as the mean blood loss following surgery (205 ±82 ml in Group I and 117 ±41 ml in Group II). No significant difference was observed in the mean length of hospital stay between groups I and II (2 ±0.3 days and 2 ±0.6 days, respectively).

Conclusions: Using a B-Lynch suture can help minimize blood loss during and after an open myomectomy. Therefore, if the uterus is large and has a lot of fibroids, it is recommended to be done frequently.

Title: Undergoing Perimenopause: A look at the experience in women with systemic autoimmune diseases and fibromyalgia

Abundant research has explored the physiologic changes surrounding menopause including an overall trend toward increased inflammation. Accordingly, in most rheumatologic diseases, while selected features may abate, symptom exacerbation is more common, as precipitated by the dynamic changes that take place with the onset of menopause. Similarly, in fibromyalgia, levels of pain and wide-ranging somatic symptoms tend to intensify with menopause. Despite these trends, however, the intricacy of the intertwining psycho-neuroendocrine-immune pathways results in a much more complicated picture with often unexpected clinical manifestations. Furthermore, the comorbidities accrued by increasing age and the consequences of long-term medication use may also confound the clinical picture. Routine rheumatologic care of women with systemic autoimmune and fibromyalgia-related conditions involves regularly scheduled visits. Nonetheless, repeated publications highlight a gap in medical professionals’ educating and addressing issues concerning the impact of menopause. Moreover, few studies have explored how to optimize the treatment of chronic diseases through the menopausal transition. In the last several years, global attention toward menopause and its effect on working women has burgeoned. Only with focused scientific studies that integrate advanced learning technologies with a holistic and more personal approach toward treatment, will medical practitioners be able to optimize care, smoothing out the course of menopause for women.

Abstract

TITLE: Bedtime massage intervention for improving infant and mother sleep condition: A randomized controlled trial

Infants’ sleep disorders and parents’ insufficient sleep are common problems in infant care. The current study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of infant massage on infants’ night-time sleep condition and mothers’ sleep quality.140 infants were randomly put into two groups: the experimental group with fifteen-minute bedtime messages for two weeks and the control group with normal infant routine care. The Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire, a personal information submission form, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index for the mothers were used to gather data in this study. Infants in the experimental group showed meaningful differences in variables such as sleep latency (P < 0001, eta = 0.099), number of night waking (P = 0.03, eta = 0.027), and longest continuous sleep period (P = 0.03, eta = 0.026). As for other variables, no meaningful differences were observed. There wasn’t a meaningful difference in the mother’s overall night-time sleep quality between the two groups (P = 0.184, eta = 0.012) except for the duration of the mother’s night-time sleep (P = 0.028, eta = 0.026) and the reduction of maternal sleep disorder (P = 0.020 eta = 0.029). The findings indicated that infants’ bedtime massages would improve some of the sleep markers of mothers and infants, and therefore, can be suggested as a practical, harmless, and cost-free method to improve sleep.

Abstract

TITLE: Case report: Success story of acute abdomen in pregnancy – Torsion Ovary

Torsion ovary is one of the acute emergencies in pregnancy with a prevalence of 2.7-3% with high maternal and fetal mortality rates. Ovarian torsion is the complete or partial rotation of the adnexa along its axis. Delay in diagnosis leads to hemorrhage, infarction, and necrosis resulting in loss of ovary. Although 26% adnexal torsion can occur in apparently healthy adnexa, the exact etiology remains unknown, predisposing factors include larger cyst size, free mobility, and long pedicle. Acute onset of pelvic pain followed by nausea and vomiting is the most common presenting symptom. High levels of clinical suspicion along with ultrasound and Doppler aids in diagnosis. We present a case of 18 weeks multipara with acute abdomen diagnosed as ovarian torsion -emergency laparotomy was done and scalping-oophorectomy proceeded given tortured necrosed ovary without disturbing gravid uterus. Pregnancy was continued and an alive term baby was delivered by normal vaginal delivery. Once torsion ovary is suspected, surgical management remains the treatment of choice.

Abstract

TITLE: Title: Association Between Appropriate Prenatal Control Andmaternal Factors in Women Attended in the Mother Infantil Hospital Ramon Sard During the Year 2018-2019

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the partnership between compliance with proper Prenatal Control and some maternal factors.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Analytical design, cross-sectional in 340 women. A prenatal card and a closed survey were used to obtain precocity, periodicity, and completeness information in women who took their immediate postpartum during May 2018- February 2019. Variables: Appropriate Prenatal Control, Maternal Age, Parity, Educational Level, and Place of Residence.

RESULTS: Of 340 women, 19.12% had adequate prenatal care. 30.88% managed to start early; 60.59% were periodic and 39.12% was complete. 29.70% did not meet any of the 3 requirements. We do not find a significant difference for proper prenatal monitoring and parity, observing an OR-0.65; IC95%: 0.37-1.12, either with maternal age, with an OR 0.84; IC95%: 0.38-1.81, as well as the instruction level with an OR-0.59; IC95%: 1.17-2.02. For the place of residence, we find an OR 3, 03; IC95%: 1.73-5.32 giving statistically significant.

CONCLUSION: The percentage of women who meet the requirements for adequate prenatal care is significantly low. There is a pending debt with 101 (29.70%) who did not meet or fail to meet any requirement, considering that health care during pregnancy is a good example of preventive medicine in the perinatal field.

Abstract

TITLE: Effect of Fast-Track Surgery under ERAS protocol in Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Background & Objective: Fast-track surgery (FTS) consists of different pathways to decrease surgical complications and improve outcomes and patient satisfaction. FTS in an elective gynecologic laparoscopic surgery has not been well assessed. No consensus guidelines have been developed for gynecologic laparoscopic surgeries. The purpose of this study is to evaluate enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) for total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Materials & Methods: 260 patients underwent for laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery. All patients were divided into two groups as follows: one group received traditional laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery and the intervention group was treated under ERAS protocol. ERAS protocol includes not receiving preoperative mechanical bowel preparation and laxatives as well as fasting 6 h and not drinking liquids 2h before surgery. The patients were allowed to resume the ordinary diet 6h post-operation. Ondansetron 4 mg were prescribed after surgery for nausea and vomiting, pain was controlled with non-narcotic analgesics diclofenac suppository 100 mg/q12 h and paracetamol 1000 mg/q6 h until discharge. Urinary catheter was removed whenever possible and early ambulation occurred 6h after the surgery
