Teenage pregnancy becomes a raising challenge for health care professionals of developing and developed countries.1 Adolescent, also known as teenage pregnancy is affected by different variables. Its rate often attributed to the sexual activity levels, the provided sex education and ease access to multiple contraceptives between countries.2 the literature, in general, published all over the world suggested the raise of teenage pregnancies.3,4 The double burden of reproduction as well as the progressive developmental growth among teenage pregnancies mark them as a high-risk group in reproductive terms.5 Moreover, almost 95% of teen’s births are conducted in developing countries for example, Saudi Arabia’s teen pregnancies ranged between 4.1% to 11.3% in urban and rural areas respectively.6,7 Factors contributing to the high teen pregnancy rate in those countries are overlapping such as; traditional, behavioral, socio-economical, educational and religious ones. Also, it seems that poverty and low socio economic status are the most prevalent factors.8

Background: Primary infertility is a health issue among women over the world. Justification: There is inadequate data about the percentage of women with primary infertility disorder attended to infertility and assisted reproduction centers nationally and globally. Objectives: To recognize the prevalence of primary infertility among Sudanese women with infertility disorders attended to Banoon Center of obstetrics and gynecology and assisted reproduction, Khartoum, Sudan. Material and Method: Hospital based –descriptive cross sectional study, 143 Sudanese women attended to Banoon center of obstetrics and gynecology and assisted reproduction were involved in the study. Result: The primary infertile women between the participants were 60.84%. Conclusion: Additional studies must be done with large sample size and at different infertility health care centers.

Global data shows that 56% of pregnant women in low and middle income countries (LMIC) have anemia.2 The Prevalence of anemia is highest between pregnant women in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) (57%), followed by pregnant women in Southeast Asia (48%), and lowest prevalence (24.1%) was found among pregnant women in South America.4 Tanzania Demographic and Health Surveys reported a slight reduce in the prevalence of anemia between pregnant women from 58% in 2004/05 to 53% in 2010. (5, 6) Other studies conducted in Tanzania have reported a higher prevalence of anemia among pregnant women: 68% in Dar es Salaamand 47% in Moshi.7,8

Over the last 50 years, the shift working has increased significantly in all developed and developing countries such as Iran.1,2 According to the latest statistics, about a quarter of the workforce in the United States is shift working.3,4 From a scientific point of view, the definition of shift work is: “employment at work outside of normal working hours, that is, outside the time period (7 am to 6 pm)”.5,6 Despite the usefulness of the shift work for the general public, the workers themselves are mainly affected by the complications.7 Lighting the midnight environment causes physiological changes in the secretion of the melatonin hormone.8 In a number of epidemiological studies focusing on the relationship between shift work and cancer, attention was focused on the potential negative effects of shift work, with the special emphasis on nighttime light and melatonin. In these studies, there has been an inverse relationship between continuous exposure to light at night and melatonin level.8,9 This reduction in melatonin production is detailed in a hypothesis that light exposure results in an increase in the production and amount of hormones such as estrogen, as well as changes in the growth trend of hormones Tumors in the chest.9,10 According to the results of objective studies, the risk of lung and breast cancers is high in individuals who worked as shift workers.11 The results of laboratory studies and animal studies have shown that the effects of low production of melatonin are not limited to breast cancer.12,13 This review study details the recent systematically studies, and discusses the underlying mechanisms, assumptions, and results from epidemiological and laboratory studies on the incidences of cancer in women shift workers.

Mpilo Central Hospital is located in Bulawayo and deliveries 9000 deliveries per year. Bulawayo is the second largest city in Zimbabwe after the capital city Harare, with a population of 653, 337 as of the 2012 census.1 The unit receives referrals from urban and rural centres. It is located in Matabeleland, 439 km southwest of Harare, on the way to Victoria Falls. Multiple gestations are high risk pregnancies associated with significant poor perinatal outcomes compared to singletons.2 In lowand middle-income countries they pose a high risk to mothers due to inherent biological risks and scarcity of health resources.3 In low-resourced, Nigeria the incidence of twin gestation was found to be 2.3%, the highest in the world.4,5 The second twin is at greater risk of adverse perinatal outcome than the first twin.6 The second twin could die or suffer brain damage due to delayed delivery. Women with multiple gestations should have prompt recourse to emergency caesarean section to avoid poor fetal outcomes. Complications of multiple gestations include anaemia, preeclampsia/eclampsia and preterm labour. The women are at risk of postpartum haemorrhage and death. The fetal complications include twin-twin transfusion syndrome in monochromic twins, congenital malformations, intrauterine death, complications of prematurity, locked twins and birth asphyxia. Women with such high risk pregnancies should book early; have an early ultrasound for dating, fetal number and chorionicity. They should book in a centre where there is comprehensive emergency obstetric care. In low-resource settings, women carry such high risk pregnancies without access to such resources.
