This document discusses female genital mutilation (FGM) in Egypt, including:
- The various types of FGM that are practiced and their physical effects. The most extreme type removes the clitoris and labia and stitches the vaginal opening closed.
- FGM is a cultural practice aimed at controlling women's sexuality, but has no basis in Islamic scripture. Opinions from religious scholars have varied over time.
- Laws banning FGM have been issued in Egypt since the 1950s but are not always enforced. Attitudes among medical professionals and the general public remain mixed.
- An estimated 97% of Egyptian women have undergone some form of FGM, though the rate may be decreasing among

This document discusses various classifications and conservative surgical treatments for pelvic organ prolapse. It begins by describing the normal anatomical supports that prevent prolapse, including the bony scaffolding, endopelvic fascia, and pelvic musculature. It then covers several classification systems for prolapse, including the Baden-Walker and POP-Q systems. Conservative surgeries discussed include abdominal sling operations, various sling procedures, anterior and posterior colporrhaphies, paravaginal defect repairs, and perineorrhaphies. Newer procedures like vaginal sacrospinous cervico-colpopexy and posterior intravaginal slingplasty are also mentioned. The document emphasizes that hyster
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used in gynecology. The two main types are laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Laparoscopy allows surgeons to examine the abdominal cavity and perform surgery using small incisions and long thin instruments inserted through the abdominal wall. It has advantages over open surgery like less pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times. Complications can include bleeding, infection, and injury to nearby organs. Laparoscopy has a long history dating back to the early 19th century and has increasingly replaced open surgery for many gynecological conditions since the 1960s as techniques have advanced.
For difficult vaginal delivery,forceps delivery,vacuum application are done to assist the vaginal delivery.Many types of forceps are there divided in 3 categories.
Adenomyosis is a benign disease of the uterus characterized by ectopic endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium.
It is associated with myometrial hypertrophy and may be either diffuse or focal.
This document provides guidance on obstetric history taking and examination. It discusses obtaining a detailed personal, medical, surgical, obstetric and family history from the patient. Physical examination involves inspection of general appearance and vital signs, examination of breasts, abdomen, pelvis and fetal assessment. The abdominal examination includes assessing fetal position, presentation and growth. The vaginal examination evaluates cervical dilation and effacement to determine Bishop score for labor readiness. Obtaining a thorough history and physical examination is important for diagnosing any complications, determining gestational age and developing a provisional diagnosis and management plan.
This document provides guidelines for evaluating and treating infertility in couples. It recommends investigating couples after 6 months to 1 year of unsuccessful conception depending on the woman's age. Common causes of infertility include male factors (30%), female factors (45%), and unexplained causes (25%). Recommended initial investigations include semen analysis, HSG, and midluteal progesterone levels. The document provides treatment guidelines for various causes of infertility including PCOS, ovarian dysfunction, uterine fibroids, uterine anomalies, and more. It recommends treatments such as clomiphene, metformin, myomectomy, hysteroscopic surgery, IVF, and others depending on the diagnosis.
Maternal collapse is defined as an acute event involving the cardiorespiratory systems and/or brain, resulting in reduced or absent consciousness. Potential causes include postpartum hemorrhage, pulmonary embolism, amniotic fluid embolism, cardiac issues, intracranial events, drug overdose, and hypoglycemia. Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause and may be due to uterine atony, retained placenta, genital tract lacerations, coagulopathy, or acute uterine inversion. Management involves ABC resuscitation, IV fluids, uterotonic drugs, bimanual compression, exploration or hysterectomy if needed.

Face presentations occur when the fetal chin is the presenting part instead of the vertex. They are classified into four positions based on the position of the chin. Mentoanterior positions are more common and favorable than mentoposterior positions. Labor is usually prolonged in face presentations due to delayed engagement and lack of molding of the facial bones. Management depends on the position, with mentoanterior positions usually allowing vaginal delivery while mentoposterior positions often requiring assistance. Brow presentations are the rarest type and usually do not have a defined mechanism of labor.
This document provides an overview of pelvic organ prolapse. It defines prolapse as the descent of pelvic organs, like the bladder, bowel or uterus, into the vagina due to weakness in their supporting structures. It discusses the epidemiology, relevant anatomy, risk factors, classification, clinical features and management. Conservative options include lifestyle changes, pelvic floor exercises and pessaries. Surgical management ranges from repairs to more radical procedures like hysterectomy, depending on the severity of prolapse and patient factors. The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and support the pelvic organs in their proper anatomical position.

Caesarean section is the delivery of a fetus through incisions in the mother's abdominal wall and uterus. There are two main types: lower segment Caesarean section (LSCS), which involves a transverse incision in the lower uterus; and upper segment/classical Caesarean section, which uses a vertical incision in the upper uterus. LSCS is preferred since it is less invasive and has better healing. Indications for emergency LSCS include fetal distress, cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD), and failed instrumental delivery. Elective LSCS is recommended for women with two or more previous C-sections or other risk factors like placenta previa. The procedure involves anesthesia, abdominal

Conservative management includes pelvic floor exercises while surgical options depend on the compartment involved. The document provides details on POP etiology, clinical assessment, differential diagnosis, and treatment approaches.
This document summarizes common causes and management of early pregnancy loss. It discusses different types of spontaneous abortions including threatened, inevitable, incomplete, complete, blighted ovum, missed, septic, and recurrent abortions. Common causes of first trimester loss include chromosomal abnormalities, immunological factors, infections, and unexplained causes. Second trimester losses are commonly due to anatomical, autoimmune, medical diseases, and infections. Evaluation involves history, examination, baseline investigations, and specialized tests. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include progesterone, D&E, misoprostol, cervical cerclage, myomectomy, and low-dose aspirin with heparin.

An X-ray generator is a crucial device used in medical imaging, industry, and research to produce X-rays. It operates by accelerating electrons toward a metal target, generating X-ray radiation. Key components include the X-ray tube, transformer assembly, rectifier system, and high-tension circuits. Various types, such as single-phase, three-phase, constant potential, and high-frequency generators, offer different efficiency levels. High-frequency generators are the most advanced, providing stable, high-quality imaging with minimal radiation exposure. X-ray generators play a vital role in diagnostics, security screening, and industrial testing while requiring strict radiation safety measures.

BIOMECHANICS OF THE MOVEMENT OF THE SHOULDER COMPLEX.pptxdrnidhimnd
Ìý
The shoulder complex acts as in coordinated fashion to provide the smoothest and greatest range of motion possible of the upper limb.
Combined motion of GH and ST joint of shoulder complex helps in:
Distribution of motion between other two joints.
Maintenance of glenoid fossa in optimal position.
Maintenance of good length tension
Although some amount of glenohumeral motion may occur while the other shoulder articulations remain stabilized, movement of the humerus more commonly involves some movement at all three shoulder joints.
