Neurofibromatosis 1, also known as Von Recklinghausen disease, is the most common of the three neurofibromatoses. It is a multi-organ disease that is characterized by the development of cutaneous neurofibromas, plexiform neurofibromas, optic nerve gliomas, astrocytomas, Lisch nodules, and pheochromocytomas. We present a case of 66-year-old woman with NF-1. The disease presents with multiple cutaneous neurofibromas in both breasts. People living with NF-1 disease might have a different course of malignancy or other associated symptoms than the average individual without NF-1. It is essential that patients presenting with NF-1 symptoms are followed longitudinally to ensure that the progression of their symptoms are appropriately treated.

A 19-year-old woman was referred to our emergency department for massive vaginal hemorrhage following an attempted clandestine abortion by intravaginal instillation of potassium permanganate crystals. Primigravida, she was 7 weeks pregnant and had no particular pathological history. Upon admission, she was in hemorrhagic shock with blood pressure at 7/3 mmHg and tachycardia at 152 bpm. Pelvic examination revealed active bleeding from the right vaginal wall. The cervix and vulva were normal. Mechanical hemostasis using a sterile gauze pad mounted on a long forceps was directly applied at the same time as the resuscitative management. After 3 minutes of compression, hemostasis was achieved and vaginal necrotic lesions appeared

Evidence collected globally during the pandemic show that Covid-19 has had a significant impact on patients suffering from non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Indeed, oncological and chronic patients have been left almost alone for several months, especially during the first wave of the pandemic. At the European level, the hope is that the measures adopted thanks to the Next Generation EU Fund [1] can have, in the shortest period possible, a significant impact towards more resilient healthcare systems in each Member State, in which the issue of health acts as a key element within their National Resilience and Recovery Plans (NRRPs). In addition to this, it is extremely essential to act on two sides: to motivate patients to not neglect their treatment path, and to support as much as possible the ones who informally help them in the shadow. In fact, behind every sick person there is often a caregiver, for many of whom every day the work of care takes up almost all of their daily time, with considerable expenditure of physical and mental energy. What is the situation of caregivers across Europe? While challenges faced by patients are a frequently discussed topic, not much is known about the issues caregivers face daily. To shed light on the latter in Italy has been a civic survey carried out along 2020 by the Italian NGO Cittadinanzattiva [2], engaged also at the European level in order to motivate patients and, as an Ambassador of the EU Pillar of Social Rights [3], committed with EU institutions to implement the 20 principles of the Pillar for the benefit of both patients and their caregivers.

Background: Postnatal care is care provisions being delivered during postnatal period. Lack of care in this period may result in death or disability as well as missed opportunities to promote healthy behaviors affecting women, newborns, and children. We need to understand the level and factors affecting health extension postnatal care services utilization. Objective: To determine the prevalence of health extension postnatal care services utilization and associated factors among mothers who gave birth in the last year in Kindo Didaye district, Southern Ethiopia, 2017. Methodology: A community-based cross-sectional mixed-method study was conducted from March 1-30, 2017 to get the final sample size of 645 mothers. Descriptive statistics were used to describe study participants. Binary logistic regression was used to identify associated factors among the explanatory variables at P < 0.05. Results: The prevalence of utilization of Post-natal care services is 32.8%. Having husbands attended secondary and above education, having at least one Antenatal care attendance, last delivery in the health institution, planning to utilize services, visitation, and notification of delivery by Health extension workers were factors to utilize services. The majority of Focus group discussion participants said that Health extension workers were not visiting at their homes and hence mothers might not be encouraged to attend health extension Post-natal care services. Conclusion: The prevalence of mothers who utilized health extension Post-natal care services in the district was very low. Thus, focusing on the identified factors could improve and sustain Post-natal care services from rural Health extension workers.

Objective: To evaluate the efficiency of amniopatch application in previable preterm rupture of membranes (pPPROM) between 17-23 gestational weeks of pregnancy. Methods: 30 pregnants with previable preterm rupture of membranes were given amniopatch as therapy option instead of termination.After one week of antibiotics and bed rest the volunteers were applied amniopatch under sonographic guidance by infusion of 100 mL of 0.9% Isotonic solution alternate infusions of platelets, normal saline and FFP with a total of 100cc of each maximally were given into amniotic cavity. During infusion, in the event of bradycardia, the infusion was stopped. Results: 38 amniopatches were applied to 30 pPPROM patients. 7 aborted, 17 gave an immature birth and 6 gave preterm birth None reached to term. Alive birth rate was %23, All of them were born prematurely with changing durations in Neonatal Intensive Care Unite (NICU). In the 7 alive newborns duration of NICU differed (10 days-91 days) with a mean of 44,5 days. Deepest vertical pocket normalized in only 4 of the 30 patients (13,3%) after one week. There were 2 ablatio plasenta cases, none born alive. Cesarean section rate was 6/30 (%20). Maternal complications were endometritis (5/30, 16%), chorioamnionitis 4/30 (13%) all cured with antbiotic regimens in one week, none had sepsis. Conclusion: Results of amniopatch treatment in pPPROM are not convincing, although you restore the amnion a little bit, the etiopathogenesis and underlying factors still exist and cause premature birth, resulting in neonatal complications.
目的：评价羊膜补片在妊娠17～23周前置性胎膜早破（pPPROM）中的应用效果。方法：对30例可预见性胎膜早破的孕妇进行羊膜补片治疗，而不是终止妊娠。在服用抗生素和卧床休息一周后，志愿者在超声引导下，通过输注100 mL 0.9%等渗溶液，应用羊膜贴片。交替向羊膜腔内输注血小板、生理盐水和FFP，每种最多100cc。在输液过程中，如果出现心动过缓，则停止输液。结果：30例pPPROM患者共应用38片羊膜补片。7人流产，17人早产，6人早产，均未足月。存活出生率为%23，均为新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）中早产，且持续时间不同。7例新生儿新生儿重症监护室存活时间不同（10天至91天），平均44.5天。一周后，30名患者中只有4名（13,3%）的最深垂直口袋正常化。消融性广场炎2例，无一例存活。剖宫产率为6/30（%20）。母体并发症为子宫内膜炎（5/30，16%）、绒毛膜羊膜炎4/30（13%），均在一周内用抗生素方案治愈，无败血症。结论：pPPROM的羊膜补片治疗结果并不令人信服，尽管你稍微恢复了羊膜，但病因和潜在因素仍然存在，并导致早产，导致新生儿并发症。

The study examined the sex preference among women living with HIV/AIDS (WLAHs) in Karnataka, India using a representative random sample of 633 women belonging to the age group 15-29 years since a large proportion of the women in India complete their family size before 30 years. The profile of the respondents indicates that the mean age was slightly over 25 years, was largely residing in rural areas and about a half of them were illiterate. There was a very high level of son preference prior to HIV infection. Though the percent of women desired to have a boy or daughter increased after being HIV positive, the results indicate a significant reduction in son preference after being tested positive compared prior to having any child and HIV negative. This could be due to a significant proportion of the WLHAs refine their desired family and sex preference possibly because of the fear of transmission of HIV virus to their child. The WLHAs desire could be healthy children irrespective of sex of the child so that the children do not have to suffer stigma and discrimination if they are HIV positive.

Objective The fast spread and growing trends of coronavirus has turn out to be a main cause of fear for the healthcare workers. This study is aimed to report the awareness of Coronavirus and practices to control spread of infection amid Healthcare workers in the Ghotki city of Pakistan. Methods The sample of 200 healthcare workers from the Ghotki city of Sindh Province in Pakistan completed a research based survey to report the awareness, responsiveness, knowledge, and practices to contain spread of infection during Coronavirus pandemic in healthcare systems. The survey questionnaire was designed as per CDC (Centers for Disease Control) and WHO (World Health Organization) current provisional guidelines published for healthcare workers (Center for disease control, CDC. 2020). Data was collected through appropriate sampling method and results were reported as frequencies and percentages. The statistics were performed on the bases of percentage of correct responses. The median test was used to separate pairwise evaluations for percentage of correct responses. Results The general knowledge of coronavirus and awareness to prevention for all subcategories was un-adequate with 63% reporting un-correct answers. The maximum accurate replies were from private practicing doctors (Doctors running personal clinics with only out-patient services) and specialist 23%, lowest were from paramedical staff, non- clinical and administrative staff. A smaller amount of the total respondents could correctly define about contact precautions. Though, most of the healthcare workers were conscious of the accurate sequence for the use of a face mask. And, simply 23% of the individuals were found aware of the standards methods of hand wash as advised by who. Conclusion Healthcare workers from the Ghotki city showed inadequate awareness of Coronavirus in current pandemic at hospitals in Ghotki city with an overall percentage of 37 % correct responses.

The article presents the materials of a large-scale study devoted to the study of the contraceptive behavior of female athletes of reproductive age, representing different sports. It has been established that the most commonly used types of contraception, in all age categories, are: interrupted intercourse, spermicides, barrier contraception (male condoms), hormonal patches. The most rarely used are hormonal contraception (single-phase and three-phase combined oral contraceptives) and intrauterine contraception. It has been established that the choice of a particular type of contraception among athletes is determined by such leading factors as sexual activity, frequency of sexual contacts, the number of sexual partners, the presence or absence of a family and marriage.
