<\/p>\n
Dear colleagues<\/p>\n
Greetings and best wishes from IMA Chennai Kauvery.<\/p>\n
As suggested by our Executive Director Dr Aravindan, this e-journal will be published in physical form every quarter consolidating the important articles and events of that quarter.<\/p>\n
As the world is limping back to normalcy don\u2019t lower your guard and hope we will\u00a0 soon see patients without mask.<\/p>\n
This month we have highlighted certain pregnancy related articles, which can be of much value in our clinical practice.<\/p>\n
Yours in IMA service,<\/em> Pregnancy is a milestone for any individual.<\/p>\n It is in fact a 9 month period preparing you to fall in love for your lifetime!!<\/p>\n Every mother should take utmost care of oneself during this important time.<\/p>\n This IMA issue focuses on some relevant health issues and tips during pregnancy.<\/p>\n Hope everyone enjoys this issue.<\/p>\n Long live IMA.<\/p>\n Yours in IMA service, I am happy to meet you through our next edition of our IMA newsletter.<\/p>\n We focused on Pregnancy related issues in this journal.<\/p>\n Kindly go through and give your valuable feedbacks.<\/p>\n My thanks to all contributors and to editorial team.<\/p>\n Long live IMA.<\/p>\n With regards<\/em> Renal transplantation rehabilitates the recipient back to a normal lifestyle situation and post-transplant pregnancy is an ideal example for this statement. Chronic kidney disease is associated with irregular menstrual cycles, anovulatory cycles and decreased libido; a successful transplantation normalizes these abnormalities. Pregnancy is definitely advised for a renal transplant recipient with careful monitoring during pregnancy.<\/p>\n Timing of Pregnancy:<\/strong><\/p>\n Renal transplant recipients are advised to avoid pregnancy for the first year after transplantation, even if the kidney functions are normal.

The first 1,000 days of a child\u2019s life \u2013 the period between conception and up to 2 years represents a once in a lifetime opportunity to lay the groundwork for optimum health, growth, and neurodevelopment throughout the child\u2019s lifespan. While all nutrients are necessary for brain development and function, optimal overall brain development is dependent on providing adequate amounts of key nutrients during specific sensitive periods during the first 1,000 days. Protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, iron, zinc, copper iodine, choline, folate, and vitamins A, B6, and B12 are especially important. Iron is an example of the importance of adequate nutrition during specific stages of brain development to ensure the full developmental potential is reached.

Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gingival tissue, characterized by areas of redness, bleeding and swelling. Gingivitis is limited to the gingival epithelium and connective tissue. Gingivitis is usually caused by the accumulation of plaque around the teeth. Other causes could be drug-induced, systemic conditions, local trauma, genetic or developmental disorders, etc.<\/p>\n One common form of gingivitis, seen in 60% \u2013 70% of women, is pregnancy gingivitis. Gingival inflammation associated with pregnancy has been initiated by dental plaque and exacerbated by endogenous steroid hormones. Patients with prior episode of acute fatty liver of pregnancy, low body mass index, malnutrition, pre-eclampsia, fetal male sex and multiple gestations are found to have an increased risk of developing this condition.<\/p>\n The development of acute fatty liver of pregnancy is considered to be due to the defects in the metabolism of fatty acids. Asthma is a common condition affecting approximately 8% of pregnant women. Epidemiological evidence demonstrates that the course of asthma during pregnancy is variable and unpredictable, with approximately one-third of women experiencing an improvement, one-third experiencing a worsening, and one-third having no changes in asthma symptoms. It is also apparent that poor control of maternal asthma leads to increased risk of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Because of these risks and the unpredictable course of asthma symptoms, it is especially important to provide appropriate monitoring and management of the asthmatic patient throughout pregnancy.

She had been planned for normal vaginal delivery and later decided for emergency LSCS in view of slow progression and maternal exhaustion. Patient had history of hypothyroidism and gestational diabetes mellitus which was under control. Preoperatively, patient was hemodynamically stable and proceeded with sub arachnoid block. Baby was delivered; to follow, placenta with membranes were removed. Immediately after removal of placenta, patient developed cough followed by breathlessness, hypoxia, hypotension and tachycardia.

As pregnancy advances, insulin resistance and diabetogenic stress due to placental hormones necessitate compensatory increase in insulin secretion. When this compensation is inadequate, gestational diabetes develops.<\/p>\n
