Introduction: Eclampsia is an acute life-threatening complication of pregnancy, it contribute to a maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries like India. Aim: To study the maternal and perinatal outcomes among eclamptic patients admitted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Andhra Medical College. Materials and methods: The prospective study was carried on 98 pregnant women admitted with eclampsia during January 2019 to December 2019. We included women presented with eclampsia or developed eclampsia during hospital stay. Results: This study showed 98 eclampsia cases out of a total of 7,044 deliveries in our hospital, it is more common in age group belongs to 20 - 25 years age group (60%) and primigravida (66.4%), majority of the cases were un-booked (88%), 53% cases with gestational age >36 weeks and antepartum eclampsia 69 (70.4%) and 11 maternal deaths mainly due to pulmonary edema, perinatal mortality was 29.4% mainly due to respiratory distress syndrome. Conclusion: Eclampsia is one of most important and common obstetric emergencies which has significant maternal and perinatal outcome. Good and regular antenatal care with emphasis on appropriate health education of pregnant mothers, improvement of socioeconomic conditions and spreading of awareness in the community early diagnosis of pre-eclampsia and timely intervention with prompt treatment, early referral and judicious termination of pregnancy may help in reducing maternal and perinatal outcome.

The paper presents a low power and high dynamic range 4-bit, 80 MHz Phase ADC that is simulated in Tanner tool using 45 nm technology. Phase ADC can be used in digital signal processing, Bluetooth, cellular and micro sensor wireless networks for wireless communication and in other various communication systems. This ADC is much better than conventional amplitude ADC in case of number of comparators, power dissipation and surface area because this directly quantizes the phase of the received signal instead of using any reference voltage and two separate amplitude ADCs. The Phase ADC presented here includes Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA), comparator and a phase quantization network which are also analyzed in 45 nm technology using Tanner tool. Analysis for power dissipation, slew rate, delay and dynamic range at different values of power supply, input signal frequency and bias current is done. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
