Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality in the world, according to the World Health Organization. Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is generally defined as a blood loss of more than 500 mL after a vaginal birth, more than 1000 mL after a cesarean section, and a ten percent decrease in hematocrit levels from pre to post birth measurements (Ward & Hisley, 2011). An early hemorrhage occurs within 24 hours of birth, with the greatest risk in the first four hours. A late hemorrhage happens after 24 hours of birth but less than six weeks after birth. Uterine atony—failure for the uterine myometrium to contract—is the most common postpartum hemorrhage (Venes, Ed.).(2013). Other etiologies include lower genital tract lacerations, uterine inversion, retained products of conception and bleeding disorders (Kawamura, Kondoh, Hamanishi, Kawasaki, & Fujita, (2014).
Further, the sufferer experiences frequent hallucinations, becomes paranoid, and suspicious. In other cases, the individual becomes unable to sleep and has difficulties communicating coupled with rapid mood swings.

Being such, this disease can show small signs such as tingling in the fingertips, arms, and legs, temporary vision loss or red/ green discoloration, double vision, dizziness, and clumsiness. Sometimes the disease can skip the small beginner signs and show larger symptoms that are harder to dismiss such as, onset depression, inability to multitask, incapability to regulate bladder, fatigue mentally or physically, muscle spasms, and the inability to control one’s bladder. Signs and symptoms can occur over the course of one to ten days, and then disappear; this is known as an attack or

There are two types of DUB. There is anovulatory bleeding or ovulatory dysfunctional bleeding. If the corpeus luteum fails to sustain the developing endometrium, it is considered anovulatory DUB. Ovulatory dysfunctional bleeding is related to the woman’s ovulation status which is directed by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-ovarian-axis.
Signs of DIC are as varied as the diseases and conditions which precipitate it; the most universal sign is abnormal bleeding, such as excessive bleeding from venipuncture sites and petechiae or ecchymoses occurring spontaneously along the ventrum and inguinal body regions (Bassert 1161, Tilley 373). Three distinct phases of DIC are recognized: the chronic silent phase, the peracute hypercoagulability phase, and the acute consumptive phase (Bruchim). Each phas...
...ological impairment. RN would check pupils for size and shape, normal response would be 3 mm with round shape and react quickly to light and they should be equal in size. If unequally dilated with poor response to light would indicate hematoma. If both pupils are fixed and dilated this indicates severe injury to brain stem with poor prognosis (Smelter, 2004). Verbal and motor response is measured by verbal commands if no response would check by use of painful stimuli for example sternal rub.
Whereas signs and symptoms to the mother can include: rapid uterine contractions, back and abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and uterine tenderness. Direct causes sometimes can correlate with direct injury to abdominal wall, rapid loss or excess of amniotic fluid, the mother’s lifestyle choices, hypertension, advanced maternal age, diabetes mellitus, and prior placental abruption. Although, preventive measures for placenta abruption is uncommon, attention to ongoing medical evaluation of fetal and maternal welfare connected with consideration of risk factors, outcomes can be

Such clearance is slower than the clearance achieved with HD but continuous treatment compensate for this clearance difference. In addition, it eliminates rebound effect of BCAA blood levels after HD and subsequent re exposure to potentially toxic BCAA levels. CVVHDF is well described as a well-tolerated procedure in children and neonates and also it does not induce any major hemodynamic disturbances. This has potential value in hemodynamically unstable neonate with cerebral edema during worsening MSUD (13). CVVHD should be administered as soon as possible in cases that do not respond to pharmacological and dietary therapy. Studies published in recent years report that CVVHD has more positive effects on prognosis in all inborn error of metabolism(14)(15), also it was observed that toxic metabolites decrease much faster rate with CVVHD compared with PD which shortens the overall dialysis duration(16) and positively affects the neurological outcome. Whenever available, In the neonates with metabolite crisis, CVVHDF is reported as an urgent treatment and may be first choice of
The characteristic symptoms start between the age of 18 and 30. Symptoms include hallucinations and/or delusions. Hallucinations can have various modes. Auditory hallucinations are the most common. These may involve hearing a voice or voices talking to each other and/or to the patient. Visual hallucinations are less common and involve the patient believing they see an object that is not present. Tactile hallucinations are the least common and involve the patient thinking that someone or something is touching them (Nienhuis).
CAH caused by steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency occurs in 1:16,000 to 1:20,000 births. Infants with the salt-losing form of CAH can rapidly become hyperkalemic and die, often without a specific diagnosis.
