Abstract
Objective A common and serious pregnancy issue known as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) occurs when the fetus is unable to reach its full growth potential. Mitochondria are crucial to the development of the fetus and the placenta. We aimed to elucidate the role of oxidative stress parameters and markers of DNA damage. The integrity of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was studied. Materials and Methods Blood samples were collected from 48 females (cases and controls, respectively). Oxidative stress parameters were analyzed. DNA was extracted followed by high-performance liquid chromatography to study 8-OH-dG and mt DNA by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Western blot analysis was performed for nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins and DNA damage markers. Results When pregnant women were compared to non-pregnant women in their first, second, and third trimesters, a highly significant progressive drop in circulating mtDNA was found. In addition, mtDNA was considerably higher in mothers carrying IUGR fetuses than in healthy pregnancies. Sirtuin-3 protein expression was considerably suppressed in the IUGR placenta (P = 0.027), whereas Nrf1 expression was not statistically different from the control group in the IUGR. Increased oxidative stress led to greater DNA damage in IUGR. The highest concentrations of 8-OH-dG were found in IUGR with levels significantly higher than those in the non-pregnant group. Conclusion Our research sets the path for further investigation into mitochondrial anomalies in IUGR pregnancies and offers evidence for disturbed mitochondrial homeostasis. The mtDNA might offer a fresh perspective on the processes involved in physiological gestation. In addition, the presence of mtDNA may aid in the diagnosis of IUGR during pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) may be necessary throughout pregnancy by ensuring proper placentation and embryonic growth. The lack of standardized EPC quantification techniques has prevented conclusive proof of an increase in EPC during pregnancy. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine whether EPC levels change for healthy and idiopathic fetal growth restriction (FGR) pregnancies. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study population consisted of 48 healthy pregnant females with no previous history of IUGR (10 in the first trimester, 15 in the second, and 23 in the third), 48 women with pregnancy complicated by idiopathic FGR, and 15 non-pregnant women. By using flow cytometry, EPCs in maternal blood were recognized as CD45dim/CD34/KDR cells. ELISA was used to measure plasmatic cytokines. RESULTS We ascertained a progressive rise in EPCs in healthy pregnancies that was apparent in the first but more pronounced in the third trimester. At comparable gestational ages, FGR-complicated pregnancies had impaired EPC growth. Placental growth factor and stromal-derived factor-1 levels in the blood were significantly lower in FGR than in healthy pregnancies, which may have contributed to the degradation of the EPCs. CONCLUSION The count in EPCs might hold considerable promise toward developing a peculiar authentication marker for observing pregnancies, and could be the focus of cutting-edge tactics for the prognosis and treatment of FGR pregnancies.

Abstract
The present study was aimed to assess infant safety associated with the presence of persistent organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in breast milk, a possible route of transfer of endocrine-disrupting chemicals to newborns in North India. Colostrum and breast milk samples (n = 130) were collected at different stages of lactation. Pesticides analysis was performed using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). We observed that of all the samples analysed, OCPs concentration was higher in breast milk than in colostrum, suggesting pesticides contamination increases over lactation period. As far as OCPs are concerned, dieldrin [1196.64 ± 673.75 ng/g lipid weight (lw)], and β-HCH [1107.78 ± 1301.72 ng/g lw], were the predominant OCPs, followed by aldrin [977.09 ± 707.69 ng/g lw], α-HCH [948.04 ± 476.65 ng/g lw] and 1,1'-(2,2-Dichloroethene-1,1-diyl)bis(4-chlorobenzene) (p,p'DDE) [790.11 ± 399.35 ng/g lw]. The association between OCPs levels and women dietary habits were also explored, and all the OCPs were grouped and compared to each other by consumption level of fish, meat, sea foods, eggs, and dairy products. We found that women consuming non vegetarian food, like fish and meat, were exposed 3.5 times more to OCPs than women consuming vegetarian food. In addition, we also observed that factors like mother's age was positively (<0.005 - <0.001) correlated while gestational age and infant birth weight were negatively (<0.005) associated with the levels of OCPs in colostrum and breast milk, respectively. Unfortunately, neither any standards nor guidelines are available for the use of pesticides, therefore, it is suggested that careless use of OCPs should be checked and suitable remedial measures be taken to decrease human contamination. Moreover, further studies are warranted to elucidate relationship between pesticide residues in breast milk and the maternal and child health.

Abstract
Adolescents and young adult comprise a significant proportion of India's population. Although, this group of the population faces serious challenges to their health and well-being. To promote their health and well-being, Centre of Excellence (CoE) at King George's Medical University, Lucknow, India, serves as an advanced care facility for 10-24-year-old adolescents and young adult women. This paper reports the socio-demographic characteristics of, and health services availed to adolescents and young adults who are visiting the CoE in Lucknow, India. A total of 6038 beneficiaries received clinical services during June 2018-March 2022. Out of total clinical services, 38.37% counselling and 37.53% referral services were utilised. Menstruation (46.29%), sexual and reproductive (28.19%), nutrition (5.91%), and mental health (1.67%) related problems were highly reported. The age of beneficiaries is classified into three categories, i.e., 10-14, 15-19, and 20-24 years. Prevalence of overweight was highest among adolescents aged 20-24 years compared to other age groups. Other than nutrition, late-adolescent girls (15-19) faced more health problems than their counterparts. The percentage of beneficiaries decreased significantly during and post the COVID-19 period (<0.001). Therefore, age-specific programs are currently needed, and interventions need to be designed accordingly.

Abstract
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is a rare disease and is characterized by an abnormal proliferation of trophoblastic cells of placenta. Since majority of them are chemotherapy sensitive, they are one of the highly curable cancers. However, due to its varied presentation, clinicians still face many challenges in its diagnosis and management. We present a case of 26-year-old woman, P0 + 3 (previous 3 abortions) who presented to us with a history of vaginal bleeding postuterine evacuation after 2 months of incomplete abortion. After clinical, radiological assessment and high human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) titers, the patient was diagnosed as a case of cervical GTN. Risk assessment by the WHO prognostic scoring system was done and "Low Risk" was assigned to her. She was given total nine cycles of single agent chemotherapy including two consolidation cycles after normalization of hCG titers which patient tolerated well and remained asymptomatic.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pediatric forearm fractures are a common presentation to Accident and Emergency departments. Standard treatment for the majority of these is manipulation under sedation within the department, followed by cast application. Concerns have been raised about the acceptability of such interventions, and reluctance to perform these procedures has led to increased admissions and manipulations performed under general anesthetic. METHODS A prospective case series of all pediatric patients with forearm fractures who underwent a manipulation under sedation in the Accident and Emergency department was collected over 12 months. All parents were invited to complete an acceptability questionnaire, adapted from the Swedish Pyramid Questionnaire for Treatment, based on their experiences. RESULTS A total of 77 patients were included and their parents were asked to complete a Swedish Pyramid Questionnaire of Treatment. Forty-four parents (55%) agreed to fill out the questionnaire. Patient demographics and fracture characteristics were compared between the group that responded and those that did not, with no significant differences. Average level of satisfaction was 9.4/10 (range = 7-10). 98% of respondents were satisfied with the level of analgesia provided, but only 86% with the timeliness of administration. CONCLUSION This parent-focused evaluation of treatment confirms high levels of parental satisfaction with the management of pediatric forearm fractures in Accident and Emergency, with regard to care, analgesia, and information. It provides insights about parental concern relating to the injury and their anxiety as information useful to further improving care, a template for assessing quality improvement and should be considered as part of further studies in this field. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV case series.

Abstract
The present study was aimed to assess the correlation between transplacental transfer of xenobiotics and resulting biochemical alterations (including genotoxicity and oxidative stress) in non-occupational pregnant women of North India along with the effect on pregnancy outcomes. Maternal and cord blood samples were collected from 221 healthy mother-infant couples and divided according to their gestational age and birth weight. Genotoxic effects in mother and cord blood were examined using comet assay. The quantitative determination of Organo-chlorine pesticides in blood serum of study population was carried out using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Notably higher Organo-chlorine pesticides levels were observed in maternal blood of preterm than term subjects for almost all of the compounds detected, with the maximum concentration found for aldrin (3.26 mg/l) in maternal blood and dieldrin (2.69 mg/l) in cord blood. The results showed a significant increment in olive tail moment, tail full length, catalase, super-oxide dismutase, and malondialdehyde levels whereas lower glutathione reductase and peroxidase were found in preterm babies when compared with term group and it varied in the order: maternal blood > cord blood. A clear trend was observed for preterm babies with their lower birth weight and cesarean mode of delivery. Therefore, reduction in birth weight in newborns may be the consequence of increased oxidative damage and genotoxicity brought about by pesticides and these markers could be employed for early detection of pesticides related ailments and toxicities. To the best of our knowledge, this was a pioneering study and it may help to increase our knowledge with regard to xenobiotic exposure in biological system and the need for stringent guidelines for agricultural use of pesticides.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to examine the relation between the PON1 polymorphisms and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). METHODS In a cross-sectional study, blood samples were collected from 100 females. DNA was extracted and PON1 genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. RESULTS Regarding PON1 L55M, the mutated allele (M) frequency was found in 70.5% in RPL and in 53.5% in controls; the M allele was significantly associated with an increased risk of RPL (adjusted odds ratio [ORadj] = 2.07; 95% confidence interval [CI]; p < 0.001). However, regarding PON1 Q192R, the R mutated allele frequency was found in 28.5% in RPL and in 33% in controls. The R allele did not show any risk for RPL (ORadj 0.81; 95%CI; p = 0.329). CONCLUSION The present study suggests that there is an effect of genetic polymorphism on RPL and provides additional evidence that combines with the growing information about the ways in which certain PON1 genotypes can affect the development of the fetus in the uterus.

Abstract
Preterm Prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) accompanies 2-3% of all pregnancies and 1/3rd of all preterm deliveries leading to intraamniotic infection, postpartum infections, sepsis along with perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent the complications of PPROM and improve mother and child health. The platelet indices (platelet count, Mean platelet volume, Plateletcrit and Immature platelet fraction) could be a useful predictive parameters in PPROM, as platelets are acute phase reactants and there parameters may vary with inflammation and increased platelet consumption/production. In the present study, Mean Platelet volume (MPV) levels showed significant increase in cases as compared to controls (10.47 ± 1.92 fl Vs 8.84 ± 1.30 fl; P < 0.004). Plateletcrit (PCT) levels were also significantly increased in cases with respect to controls (0.22 ± 0.10% Vs 0.18 ± 0.05%; P = 0.004). Immature platelet fraction (IPF) is significantly increased in cases than in control subjects (8.73 ± 6.67% Vs 4.43 ± 1.75%; P < 0.001). Also, Mean Platelet volume (MPV) levels were found to be significantly higher in subjects whose neonate had developed sepsis(11.39 ± 1.69 fl Vs 8.91 ± 1.31 fl; P < 0.001) and respiratory distress (10.62 ± 2.09 fl Vs 9.26 ± 1.56 fl; P = 0.003). Similarly, PCT was significantly higher in groups with positive neonatal sepsis (0.32 ± 0.74% Vs 0.19 ± 0.65%; P = 0.010) and with respiratory distress (0.24 ± 0.78% Vs 0.18 ± 0.59%; P < 0.001). Levels of IPF were also increased in positive neonatal sepsis group (10.11 ± 6.27% Vs 5.06 ± 4.07%; P < 0.001) and respiratory distress group (9.11 ± 6.38% Vs 5.54 ± 4.43%; P = 0.009). The findings suggest that maternal platelet parameters (MPV, PCT and IPF) can be utilized as evidence of early predictors of development of neonatal sepsis and respiratory distress and may be considered as a predictive markers for adverse neonatal outcome.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate β-hCG concentration in vaginal fluid as a biochemical marker for PPROM in suspected cases and its correlation with onset of labour. Materials and Methods This is a prospective case-control study carried out in tertiary care centre in 1 year. Total 150 pregnant women of gestational age 28-36 week + 6 days were included and were divided into two groups: control (Group 1) (n = 50) normal antenatal patients. Group 2 cases with history of leaking per vaginum subdivided into two groups-Group 2A-(n = 50) with no detectable leakage of amniotic fluid present on per speculum examination and Group 2B-(n = 50) with minimal leaking per vaginum present upon per speculum examination (frank leaking were excluded). β-hCG level was measured by chemiluminescent microparticle assay, and all women were followed till onset of labour. Results Mean β-hCG level in vaginal fluid was measured as 6.10 ± 8.52 mIU/mL, 57.10 ± 30.86 mIU/mL and 111.35 ± 36.01 mIU/mL in Group 1, Group 2A and Group 2B, respectively. By taking 21.5 mIU/ml as cut-off, receiver operating characteristic curve shows sensitivity 100%, specificity 92.0%, positive predictive value 92.6%, negative predictive value 100% and diagnostic accuracy 96%. Regarding the correlation of β-hCG level with onset of labour if the β-hCG level is < 21.5 mIU/ml, 100% pregnancy continued beyond 4 weeks and 56% women delivered within 4 weeks when β-hCG level is > 75 mIU/ml. Conclusion β-hCG in vaginal fluid is a reliable biochemical marker for diagnosing suspected cases of PPROM and is well correlated with onset of labour.

Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the level of pesticides and their role in cases of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Materials and Methods: This was designed as a case–control study. Gas chromatography was used to characterize the pesticide level in 70 cases and 70 controls. Case refers to women with RPL, whereas controls refer to women with full-term delivery. Results: A higher level of pesticide, namely beta-hexachlorocyclohexane, malathion, chlorpyrifos, and fenvalerate was found in the case group as compared to control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The present study suggests that high exposure of pesticide (organochlorine and organophosphates) may increase the risk of RPL in females of the subhumid region of India.

Abstract
ABSTRACTWire Guided Localisation has been the traditional technique for occult breast lesions. However, ROLL has emerged as a safer alternative to WGL approach. ROLL provides an improvement on margin positive rates and offers better pain and cosmetic advantages to the patient combined with a shorter learning curves for both radiologists and surgeons. SNOLL adds to the advantages of the procedure by combining SLNB with ROLL hence offering an economic advantage. The use of ROLL as primary modality for occult lesion localisation is bound to increase with potential to replace WGL as the primary modality for such lesions.

Abstract
It is difficult to know precisely the history of a functional disease, unlike the natural history of infectious agents, tumour processes or poly-malformative syndromes. In the case of psychiatry, and especially schizophrenia and psychotic disorders, a retrospective look at artistic productions (writings and drawings) makes it possible to reconstitute a whole section of this pathological context. Through four medieval and modern examples, we will see how it is possible to do a paleo-psychiatry: Opicinus de Canistris (14th c.), the Voynich manuscript (15th c.), Hieronymus Bosch (15th-16th c.), and the Codex Seraphinianus (20th c.).

Abstract
Introduction Preeclampsia is an important cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The pathophysiology of preeclampsia has been extensively studied. 2ME seems to maintain placental homeostasis necessary for appropriate cytotrophoblast invasion of the maternal deciduas. We plan this study to compare its value in the plasma of normotensive and preeclamptic women and studying its correlation with the severity indices of preeclampsia. Aim and Objectives The aim of this study was to estimate plasma levels of 2ME in preeclamptic and normotensive pregnant women and correlate it with the severity in terms of clinical indices, laboratory investigations, and fetomaternal outcome. Materials and Methods This study was a case-control study conducted in KGMU, Lucknow, August 2015-2016. Sample size was 90 pregnant women including 30 normotensive, 30 non-severe preeclampsia, and 30 severe preeclampsia patients. Plasma 2ME levels were analyzed using ELISA kit and the outcome was compared in terms of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, proteinuria, liver and renal function tests, serum LDH, uric acid, plasma 2ME levels, and fetomaternal outcome. Results There was a significant (p = 0.0001) difference in 2ME plasma levels among the groups (normotensive, non severe and severe preeclampsia patients). 2ME plasma levels significantly negatively correlated with SBP (r = - 0.62, p = 0.0001) and DBP (r = - 0.63, p = 0.0001). With one-unit increase in SBP, 2ME will decrease by 2445.14 units, and in one-unit increase in DBP, 2ME will decrease by 1807.28 units. The sensitivity and specificity of 2ME for preeclampsia were found to be high. Conclusion It was seen that there was a statistically significant difference between plasma 2ME levels among the three groups. The ROC curve obtained showed that sensitivity was predicted to be 98.3%, specificity 76.7%, positive predictive value of 89.4%, negative predictive value of 95.8% and accuracy of 91.1%.

Abstract
Introduction Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is defined as three or more spontaneous pregnancy losses before the 20th week of gestation or fetal weight of < 500 gm from the last menstrual period. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is essential for implantation, development of embryo and placental angiogenesis. Women with low VEGF level are believed to be at higher risk of RPL. Objective To measure the level of VEGF in women with RPL and compare it with women with 1 or more successful pregnancies. Methods This is a Case control study carried out in King George Medical University, Lucknow from August 2015 to 2016. Participants sample size was 60 women. Thirty women with 3 or more spontaneous abortions were included as cases, and 30 women with at least 1 successful term pregnancy were controls. Serum VEGF level was analyzed using ELISA kit. Main outcome measured: 1. Serum VEGF level in the two groups. 2. Serum VEGF level in different underlying etiologies in women with RPL. Results Mean VEGF level was 105.3 pg/mL in RPL cases, while it was 156.8 pg/mL in fertile controls. (p = 0.01). VEGF level was 86.2 pg/mL in patients with anatomical defects, 109 pg/mL in APLA syndrome, 85.1 pg/mL in hypothyroidism and 122.2 pg/mL in unexplained RPL. Conclusion The mean serum VEGF level was significantly lower in women with recurrent pregnancy loss compared with women with successful term pregnancy, implicating its role in maintaining pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As a result of the current exponentially growing refugee population from the Middle-East and East Africa (Sudan, Darfur, Eritrea), clinicians (including forensic pathologists) are seeing atypical skin lesions, mainly of a traumatic nature, but in some cases associated with long-standing lesions related to ethnic practices. PATIENTS AND METHODS A case of torture sequelae is presented herein in a patient originally from Darfur (Sudan): cutaneous incisions were made on old scars several times using a knife. DISCUSSION The clinical presentation of scarification lesions and that of atypically healed wounds (presumably an effect of inflammation induced by the introduction of irritating foreign bodies such as sand, salt, etc.) are completely different: in all cases they indicate a relative timeframe of the facts, which the clinician should not overlook in reconstructing the patient's course and the injuries to which he has been subjected (hence the proposed designation of "palimpsest scar", in the sense that a palimpsest is a manuscript on a parchment that previously contained writing but has been scratched clean to be overwritten). Thus, a "palimpsest scar" constitutes a fresh scar on top of and hiding another (ritual) scar in a context of ethnic cleansing. The diagnostic and clinical significance comes from the importance of differentiating between ethnic-type lesions and those induced by physical violence and abuse in a context of war.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION According to WHO, the primary infertility in India is about 3.9% (age-standardized to 25-49 year) and 16.8% (age-standardized to 15-49 year), using the "age but no birth" definition. Several factors which affect fertility include low sperm production in men, poor egg quality and blocked fallopian tubes in women and also hormonal imbalances. Leptin plays a critical role in women's reproduction and neuroendocrine health. It is used for treating exercise-induced bone loss, eating disorders and infertility. AIM To evaluate the serum leptin levels in Indians and to ascertain the relationship between serum leptin levels, Unexplained Infertility (UI) and related variables [height, weight, Waist Hip Ratio (WHR), Body Mass Index (BMI)] between obese infertile, non-obese infertile and healthy subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present case-control study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, King George's Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow, India and funded by Department of Science and Technology, New Delhi, India. The study included 229 female participants in the age group of 18-40 years (120 cases and 109 controls) who were randomly selected. The blood samples were collected from the Infertility Clinic, Queen Mary's Hospital, KGMU, Lucknow, India. All the participants underwent complete physical examination. Initially, the participants were categorized into fertile and infertile groups, they were further divided on the basis of BMI, normal (BMI- 18.5-24.5) and overweight or obese (BMI≥25). Leptin level was measured by Active Human Leptin ELISA kit and BMI of all subjects was calculated in kg/m2 (weight in kg and height in m). RESULTS A highly positive linear correlation (R=0.754, p<0.001) was found between BMI and serum leptin in unexplained infertile women, which indicates a strong relationship between BMI and serum leptin. The variation in serum leptin is explained by the independent variable, BMI. There was a partial positive linear correlation between BMI and serum leptin in the control group. Statistically there was no significant correlation (R=0.109, p=0.258) between BMI and serum leptin in the control group. CONCLUSION The present study clearly demonstrates that level of leptin is higher in unexplained infertile than in the fertile group, and also shows that a strong relationship exists between BMI and serum leptin in the obese group. Serum leptin level was significantly higher in obese than non-obese subjects. Thus, leptin is an important factor for normal reproductive function. Obesity, the main cause of infertility may be controlled by regulating the leptin concentration.
