Childbirth has always carried traumatic stress to the woman’s body. To deliver with less perineal trauma, obstetricians have used episiotomies. Episiotomy is still a common practice despite controversy regarding its use. Weighing risks and benefits, scientific literature supports selective With worldwide trend reduce rate of episiotomy, several techniques been proposed achieve that. However, further research needed prove their efficacy. This review will shed light on historical background different techniques, indications, future practice.

Abstract: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a disorder characterized by abnormal tone, posture and movement clinically classified based on the predominant motor syndrome—spastic hemiplegia, spastic diplegia, quadriplegia, extrapyramidal or dyskinetic. The incidence of CP 2–3 per 1,000 live births. Prematurity low birthweight are important risk factors for CP; however, multiple other have been associated with an increased CP, including maternal infections, gestation. In most cases initial injury to brain occurs during early fetal development; intracerebral hemorrhage periventricular leukomalacia main pathologic findings found in preterm infants who develop CP. diagnosis primarily clinical findings. Early possible combination history, use standardized neuromotor assessment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); settings more reliably recognized 2 years age.

Because secondary medical conditions, its management requires multidisciplinary team approach. Most children grow up be productive adults.

Individual cases of cerebral are attributed to birth asphyxia; however, recent studies indicate asphyxia accounts for less than 10% cases.To determine the molecular diagnostic yield exome sequencing (prevalence pathogenic likely variants) in individuals palsy.A retrospective cohort study patients included clinical laboratory referral data accrued between 2012 2018 health care-based 2007 2017.Exome copy number variant detection.The primary outcome was sequencing.Among 1345 from cohort, median age 8.8 years (interquartile range, 4.4-14.7 years; 0.1-66 years) 601 (45%) were female.

In present study, we performed in-depth clinical and analysis on 120 idiopathic cerebral families, identified underlying detrimental genetic variants 45% of these patients. addition to germline variants, found disease-related postzygotic mutations ∼6.7% We that patients with more severe motor impairments or a comorbidity intellectual had significantly higher chance harbouring variants.
