    Abstract Prenatal diagnostic invasive procedures are used to determine if a fetus is at risk of a genetic disease. Analysis based on cells obtained from amniocentesis or chorionic villous sampling is the more commonly performed prenatal diagnostic invasive procedure. For certain indications, however, fetal skin biopsy, muscle biopsy, kidney biopsy, and fetal tissue biopsy of a tumor or mediastinal mass have also been performed. These procedures are rarely indicated in the current scenario when molecular tests are available for most of the genetic conditions. However, there are some genetic conditions for which no specific molecular test is available and prenatal diagnosis can only be done by biopsy of the fetal part during ultrasound guidance.

    Abstract Introduction: Antenatal care (ANC) is crucial for ensuring positive maternal and perinatal outcomes. The World Health Organization (WHO) has released comprehensive guidelines on ANC with the aim of providing a "positive pregnancy experience". While mobile health (mHealth) technology shows immense potential in improving healthcare services, evidence of its effectiveness remains limited.
    Objectives: This study aimed to develop a mobile application aligned with the WHO antenatal care model and follow a group of antenatal women using that and compare it to the conventional care provided.
    Methods: A prospective open-label study was carried out at three health centers, where patients with singleton/twin pregnancies and access to smartphones were recruited after obtaining informed consent. The study group was followed using the mobile application, while the control group received conventional care. A recall-based questionnaire was used to assess the content of care, including comprehensive history, examination, and patient counselling. Patient satisfaction and the feasibility of using the application were also evaluated.
    Results: A total of 85 patients in the study group and 73 controls were followed until delivery. Baseline demographic details were comparable, while the number of antenatal visits were higher in the intervention group. Patients in the study group had significantly higher mean scores compared to the controls in terms of comprehensive history (8.26 ± 2.26 vs 3.58 ± 2.30; p < 0.001), physical examination (4.26 ± 1.03 vs 3.66 ± 1.09; p = 0.001) and patient counselling (6.09 ± 1.65 vs 4.33 ± 1.69; p < 0.001). Among the recommended investigations, a hemogram (100 % vs 93.2 %; p = 0.02) and ultrasound prior to 24 weeks (89.4 % vs 56.2 %; p < 0.001) were carried out in a larger number of patients in the study group. Patient satisfaction scores, calculated using the PreMAPeQ questionnaire, were higher in the intervention group.
    Conclusion: This study highlights the effectiveness of an m-health application in enhancing the quality of antenatal care and facilitating standardized ANC visits. Further research is necessary to establish mHealth technology as a cost-effective intervention in this area.

    Abstract Severe anemia is a high-risk factor in pregnancy and needs to be treated appropriately to prevent poor maternal and fetal outcomes. A pregnant woman with severe anemia reluctant for blood transfusion due to issues of accessibility was given four doses of 300 mg intravenous iron sucrose (IVIS) in 300 ml normal saline starting at 31 weeks 5 days of gestation and her hemoglobin level increased by 4.2 gm/dl over a period of five weeks without any complications and without any intake of iron and folic acid tablets during the entire duration. Intravenous iron sucrose is a useful intervention for severe anemia of pregnancy even in late pregnancy with rapid increase in haemoglobin levels and can be used regularly for treating severe anemia in pregnant women alternative to blood transfusion who have limited accessibility to blood transfusion facilities.

    Abstract Background Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a substantial cause of maternal morbidity and are associated with a significant increase in hospital stay and cost. The prevention of SSI is complex and requires the integration of a range of measures before, during, and after surgery. Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College (JNMC), Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is one of the referral centers of India with a huge influx of patients. Methods The project was undertaken by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, JNMC, AMU, Aligarh. Our department was sensitized to the need for quality improvement (QI) through Laqshya, a Government of India initiative for labor rooms in 2018. We were facing problems like a high surgical site infection rate, poor documentation and records, no standard protocols, overcrowding, and no admission discharge policy. There was a high rate of surgical site infections, leading to maternal morbidity, increased days of hospitalization, more usage of antibiotics, and increased financial burden. A multidisciplinary quality improvement (QI) team was formed comprising obstetricians and gynecologists, the hospital infection control team, the head of the neonatology unit, staff nurses, and multitasking staff (MTS) workers. Results The baseline data were collected for a period of one month and it was found that the rate of SSI was around 30%. Our aim was to decrease the rate of SSI from 30% to less than 5% over a period of six months. The QI team worked meticulously, implemented evidence-based measures, regularly analyzed the results, and devised measures to overcome the obstacles. The point-of-care improvement (POCQI) model was adopted for the project. The rate of SSI decreased significantly in our patients and the rates are around 5% persistently. Conclusion The project not only helped in decreasing the infection rates but also led to vast improvements in the department with the formulation of an antibiotic policy, surgical safety checklist, and admission-discharge policy.
