  • Scalp Eczema Factsheet the Scalp Is an Area of the Body That Can Be Affected by Several Types of Eczema
    12 Scalp eczema factsheet The scalp is an area of the body that can be affected by several types of eczema. The scalp may be dry, itchy and scaly in a chronic phase and inflamed (red), weepy and painful in an acute (eczema flare) phase. Aside from eczema, there are a number of reasons why the scalp can become dry and itchy (e.g. psoriasis, fungal infection, ringworm, head lice etc.), so it is wise to get a firm diagnosis if there is uncertainty. Types of eczema • Hair clips and headgear – especially those containing that affect the scalp rubber or nickel. Seborrhoeic eczema (dermatitis) is one of the most See the NES booklet on Contact Dermatitis for more common types of eczema seen on the scalp and hairline. details.

  • Labor and Vaginal Delivery
    VI LABOR, DELIVERY, AND POSTPARTUM LABOR AND VAGINAL DELIVERY Kelly A. Best, MD CHAPTER 61 1. What is the definition of labor? Labor begins when uterine contractions of sufficient frequency, intensity, and duration are attained to bring about effacement and progressive dilation of the cervix. 2. What two steps are theorized to be crucial to the initiation of labor in human pregnancy? 1. Retreat from pregnancy maintenance 2. Uterotonic induction Despite extensive investigation into the associated physiologic and biochemical changes, the physiologic processes in human pregnancy that result in the onset of labor are still not defined. 3. In which patients is induction of labor considered? Awaiting the onset of normal labor may not be an option in certain circumstances. At preterm gestations, indications for labor induction include severe preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction with abnormal antepartum surveillance or other evidence of fetal compromise, and deterioration of maternal disease to the point that continuation of pregnancy is believed to be detrimental. In cases of rupture of membranes without labor (i.e., premature rupture of membranes) at term (37 to 42 weeks) or postterm (≥42 weeks), induction of labor is often performed. 4. What is a Bishop score, and how is it used? A Bishop score is a quantifiable method to assess the likelihood of a successful induction. Elements include dilation, effacement, station, consistency, and position of the cervix (Table 61-1). A score of 6 or less trans- lates into a need to ripen the cervix and is associated with less successful inductions. A score 8 or greater generally means the cervix does not need ripening and induction is more likely to be successful.

This is a qualitative descriptive approach, performed in a school hospital in São Paulo, which data were collected through interviews with the participation of 35 women, who experienced and not episiotomy in labor. The thematic analysis shows these categories: Depends the size of the baby facilitates the childbirth; Depends each woman; The woman is not open; and Episiotomy is not necessary. The results allowed that there is lack of clarification and knowledge regarding this practice, which makes the role of decision ends up in the professionals’ hands.

The author mentions that burning or painful tongue has been reported in three previous cases of GCA [8]. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic large-vessel vasculitis We report five cases of glucocorticoid-responsive mouth (LVV) affecting people older than 50 years. It classically causes symptoms in PMR/GCA; three cases of tongue pain exacerbated headache and ischaemia of cranial structures, resulting in jaw by spicy food, a case of scalp pain made worse by eating spicy claudication and visual disturbance.
