Abstract: This study investigated the thiol-disulphide balance in vaginitis, which is a local inflammatory condition, through the use of a new method. A cross-sectional study involving 82 women (45 women with vaginitis and 37 women in control group) was conducted at Ataturk Education and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey from February 2016 to April 2016. Their ages varied between 19-75 years (mean: 42.8±11.6), were incorporated into the study. Thiol – disulphide parameters were measured and the obtained results were compared. The results showed that the serum disulphide level and disulphide/native thiol ratio in the group with vaginitis (p = 0.03 and p = 0.04) and the native thiol/total thiol ratio in the control group was higher (p = 0.03). In this study, it was shown that serum dynamic thiol-disulphide balance in the women with vaginitis had varied. Although vaginitis is a localized infectious inflammatory condition, the increase in the systemic oxidative stress is important. This study is the first article in the literature that investigates the relationship between dynamic thiol-disulphide balance and vaginitis.

Abstract: We present a study to the clinical, therapeutic and evolutive aspects of severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia in the service of obstetrics and gynaecology of regional teaching hospital of Ouahigouya. We have conducted a descriptive and analytical study with retrospective data collection within 3 years, from 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2015. We have recorded 5791 deliveries out of which 261 were included giving a rate of 4.51% (61 cases of eclampsia 1.05%, 200 cases of severe pre-eclampsia, 3.45%). The most affected patients were the women with age ranging between 16-20 years (33.3%), the nulliparous women (24.2%), the multiparous women (25.5%), married women (84%) and those without renumbering activity (86.6%). Maternal prognosis was dominated by a morbidity linked to fever (24.8%), coma (21.7%) and acute kidney failure (14.9%). Maternal lethality rate was 1.92% and the fetal mortality was 24.6%.

Abstract: A case of body stalk anomaly which was diagnosed at 17 weeks of gestation is presented on a second trimester sonography after an abnormal first trimester scan and second opinion review. The fetus displayed multiple anomalies characteristic of body stalk syndrome including abdominal wall defect (omphalocele), kyphoscoliosis, fetal dismorphology and a two vesseled umbilical cord. Body stalk anomaly is a rare congenital anomaly with a series of similar clinical manifestations and poor prognosis.
