Background: In uterus fetal death is the fetal death occurring after 22 weeks of pregnancy or 500 g birth weight if the term is unknown or corrected. The global prevalence of fetal death in uterus from 28 Weeks or fetal weight greater than 1000 g is estimated to be around 2%, with the average around 5 per 1000 births in high-income countries. Aim & Objective: 1. Analysis of fetal death in utero.2. Study of risk factors of fetal death in utero. Methods: Cross sectional Study, Study setting: Department of OBGY Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital Bareilly. Study duration: 10 November 2022 to 11 November 2023. Study population: All the cases with fetal uterine death as per WHO definition and those who give consent were included in the study. Sample size: 100. Results: Majority of cases from 20-35 years group 72%, 96% pregnant women gave birth naturally and 4% delivered by caesarean section. Majority of cases etiology was PIH 38% followed by unknown cause. Conclusions: In uterus fetal deaths remain common in our country. The main causes were hypertension disorders of pregnancy. There were also some unknown causes which could be related to economic or cultural reasons. For instance, autopsies of in uterus deaths and placental anatomopathology examination are not performed because of culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: liver abscess as an inflammatory lesion predominantly caused by ALA and PLA, with ALA being more prevalent in India. It discusses the transmission of Entamoeba histolytica and emphasizes the importance of recognizing unusual variants of ALA due to their association with complications. The section also mentions the occurrence of liver abscess in different lobes of the liver and the benign nature of ALA in the absence of poor prognostic markers. Figure 1 Description: A suggested algorithm for the management of liver abscess is presented in Figure 1, although specific details are not provided in the text. Methodology: The study is designed as a case report and conducted in the Department of OBGY at Rohilkhand Medical College And Hospital, Bareilly. Case Report: This section details a case of a 32-year-old pregnant patient presenting with fever, fatigue, and right upper quadrant pain. The patient's clinical examination, laboratory findings (including blood tests and ultrasound), and the development of tachycardia and tachypnea during hospitalization are described. The ultrasound findings suggest a liver abscess. The patient's subsequent treatment in the ICU and the birth of a healthy neonate are also reported. Figure 2 Description: An abdominal ultrasound image shows the calcified wall of the abscess in a 32-week pregnant woman, as depicted in Figure 2. Conclusion: The conclusion highlights the rarity but critical importance of considering liver abscess as a potential cause of sepsis or septic shock in pregnant patients. It recommends ultrasonographic evaluation of the liver in such cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

New Zealand has the third-highest obesity rate among Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries. To overcome the obesity crisis in New Zealand, this article investigates whether removing the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on fresh fruit and vegetables would improve affordability and healthy eating habits, particularly for low-income families. To support the recommended approach for New Zealand, the article also undertakes a relevant discussion of Australia's general GST treatment of food to identify any insights applicable to New Zealand's regime. The removal of GST on fresh fruit and vegetables in New Zealand, however, would not sufficiently improve affordability and healthy eating habits, particularly for lowincome families, to justify the costs associated with change. This article puts forward that a smart card scheme for purchasing fruit and vegetables, if combined with an increase in education to prioritise healthy eating could better reduce New Zealand's high obesity rate.
