  • Caesarean Section for Placenta Praevia (Consent Advice No
    Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Consent Advice No. 12 December 2010 CAESAREAN SECTION FOR PLACENTA PRAEVIA This is the first edition of this guidance. This paper provides additional advice for clinicians in obtaining consent of a woman to undergo caesarean section in the specific circumstance of current pregnancy with placenta praevia with or without previous caesarean section. It is designed to be used in conjunction with Consent Advice No. 7: Caesarean section.1 The aim of this paper is to highlight the additional and specific consequences of caesarean section performed in the presence of placenta praevia. The information should, where possible, be provided during the antenatal period in the form of an information sheet to allow the woman to understand the situation and to provide ample opportunities for her to ask any questions she may have and to antenatally meet providers of additional services that may become necessary, such as interventional radiologists. Depending on local clinical governance arrangements, an additional consent form may be used with the addition- al risks highlighted, or the additional risks may be incorporated in a specific consent form for the whole procedure. CONSENT FORM 1. Name of proposed procedure or course of treatment Caesarean section for placenta praevia. 2. The proposed procedure Describe the nature of caesarean section and emphasise how a procedure in the presence of placenta praevia varies in comparison with one performed in the presence of a normally sited placenta. Explain the procedure as described in the patient information. 3. Intended benefits The aim of the procedure is to secure the safest route of delivery to avoid the anticipated risks to the mother and/or baby of the heavy bleeding that would occur during labour and attempted vaginal delivery owing to the position of the placenta.

  • Preterm Delivery and Risk of Breast Cancer
    British Journal of Cancer (1999) 80(3/4), 609–613 © 1999 Cancer Research Campaign Article no. bjoc.1998.0399 Preterm delivery and risk of breast cancer M Melbye, J Wohlfahrt, A-MN Andersen, T Westergaard and PK Andersen Danish Epidemiology Science Centre, Statens Serum Institut, 5 Artillerivej, DK-2300 Copenhagen S, Denmark Summary To explore the risk of breast cancer in relation to the length of a pregnancy we tested whether a preterm delivery carries a higher risk of breast cancer than does a full-term delivery. Based on information from the Civil Registration System, and the National Birth Registry in Denmark, we established a population-based cohort of 474 156 women born since April 1935, with vital status and detailed parity information, including the gestational age of liveborn children and stillbirths. Information on spontaneous and induced abortions was obtained from the National Hospital Discharge Registry and the National Registry of Induced Abortions. Incident cases of breast cancer in the cohort (n = 1363) were identified through linkage with the Danish Cancer Registry. The period at risk started in 1978 and continued until a breast cancer diagnosis, death, emigration, or 31 December, 1992, whichever occurred first. After adjusting for attained age, parity, age at first birth and calendar period, we observed the following relative risks of breast cancer for different lengths of the pregnancy: < 29 gestational weeks = 2.11 (95% confidence interval 1.00–4.45); 29–31 weeks = 2.08 (1.20–3.60); 32–33 weeks = 1.12 (0.62–2.04); 34–35 weeks = 1.08 (0.71–1.66); 36–37 weeks = 1.04 (0.83–1.32); 38–39 weeks = 1.02 (0.89–1.17); 40 weeks = 1 (reference).

Received: 16 December 2009 / Accepted: 22 January 2010 / Published: 27 January 2010 Abstract: Offspring of mothers using ethanol during pregnancy are known to suffer from developmental delays and/or a variety of behavioral changes. Ethanol, may affect the developing fetus in a dose dependent manner. With very high repetitive doses there is a 6–10% chance of the fetus developing the fetal alcoholic syndrome manifested by prenatal and postnatal growth deficiency, specific craniofacial dysmorphic features, mental retardation, behavioral changes and a variety of major anomalies. With lower repetitive doses there is a risk of "alcoholic effects" mainly manifested by slight intellectual impairment, growth disturbances and behavioral changes. Binge drinking may impose some danger of slight intellectual deficiency. It is advised to offer maternal abstinence programs prior to pregnancy, but they may also be initiated during pregnancy with accompanying close medical care.

With The X-Factor inspiring a whopping 12 million people to audition – twice the number of people living in London - and home karaoke games such as Sing Star and Rock Band selling out at Christmas, it seems everyone wants to get in on the act. But how should all our aspiring singers take the best care of their voices and give themselves the best possible shot at fame – whether on stage or in your living room? Jakemans (http://www.jakemans.com), the soothing menthol cough sweet popular with professional singers, has teamed up with Steps star Claire Richards to provide some tips on how to enhance the singing voices that Mother Nature gave us. With a string of hit singles including ‘5,6,7,8’, ‘Tragedy’ and ‘Last Thing On My Mind’, Claire was a key member of the pop quintet and is keen to continue her singing career after her second child is born later this year. Her top tips for aspiring performers everywhere include: 1.Wherever possible, avoid alcohol, especially before singing 2.Swap your usual cuppa for a herbal tea or hot honey and lemon 3.Make sure you warm up your voice properly 4.Steam your throat regularly by breathing in hot water vapours 5.Sip warm or tepid water rather than cold 6.Suck Jakemans before performing, the menthol vapors lubricate the vocal cords 7.Don’t gargle if you have a sore throat – it’s a myth 8.If you have a cold, try and clear your throat gently rather than big strong coughs 9.Avoid throat sprays that numb the throat, they’ll give you a false sense of security and damage your vocal cords more 10.Finally, try and rest your voice whenever you can, particularly before singing.

    Department of Midwifery Postdates Pregnancy MANAGEMENT OF THE UNCOMPLICATED POSTDATES PREGNANCY Approved – January 2007, April 2011 For Review – April 2013 Acknowledgements PRINCIPAL AUTHORS Yarra Vostrcil, RM Chloe Dayman, RM CONTRIBUTORS Department of Midwifery Guidelines Committee Andrea Mattenley (Chair), RM Carole Miceli, RM Cora Beitel, RM Corina Pautler, RM Amelia Doran, RM Katie McNiven‐Gladman, RM Jennifer Duggan, RM Thea Parkin, RM Leslie Gunning, RM Mandy Reid, RM Kelly Hayes, RM Laura Willihnganz, RM Carolyn Hunt, RM Preamble Guidelines outline recommendations, informed by both the best available evidence and by midwifery philosophy, to guide midwives in specific practice situations and to support their process of informed decision‐making with clients. The midwifery philosophy recognizes the client as the primary decision maker in all aspects of her care and respects the autonomy of the client (1). The best evidence is helpful in assisting thoughtful management decisions and may be balanced by experiential knowledge and clinical judgment. It is not intended to demand unquestioning adherence to its doctrine as even the best evidence may be vulnerable to critique and interpretation. The purpose of practice guidelines is to enhance clinical assessment and decision‐making in a way that supports practitioners to offer a high standard of care. This is supported within a model of well‐informed, shared decision‐ making with clients in order to achieve optimal clinical outcomes. Background The College of Midwives of British Columbia supports registered midwives in providing primary care for women with post‐dates pregnancies. This guideline is intended to assist midwives in offering choices to these women. Definitions The following are World Health Organization (WHO) definitions (2).
