Prevalence and management of abnormal pap smear in antenatal care clinic at Thammasat University Hospital.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of abnormal Papanicolaou smear in pregnant patients who attend the Antenatal Care Clinic at Thammasat University Hospital. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Pregnant patients who attended the antenatal care clinic at Thammasat University Hospital from August 2003 to December 2003 were recruited for Papanicolaou test. Patients who had abnormal results of equally or over "abnormal squamous/glandular cells of undetermined significance" were assigned for colposcopy and colposcopic biopsy to confirm the result. RESULTS: From 500 Papanicolaou smear performed, there were only four patients who had abnormal Pap tests, which were: 2 ASC-US and 2 LSIL. The prevalence of abnormal Pap smear in pregnant patients who attended the antenatal clinic at Thammasat University Hospital was 0.8 percent. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of abnormal Papanicolaou smear in pregnant patients attending antenatal care clinic at Thammasat University Hospital was quite low in compares with other literature.

Acardiac twin.

Acardiac twin is a rare complication of monozygotic twin pregnancies occurring in 1% of monochorionic twin gestations with an incidence of 1 in 35,000 births. Without treatment, the perinatal mortality of the pump twin is about 50-70%. The optimal management of acardiac twin pregnancies is controversial. Management options include elective termination, observation with close antepartum surveillance (serial cardiotocography, ultrasonography and echocardiography) and surgical interventions

The efficacy of ginger in prevention of post-operative nausea and vomiting after outpatient gynecological laparoscopy.

OBJECTIVE: To study the efficacy of ginger in prevention of nausea and vomiting after outpatient gynecological laparoscopy. STUDY DESIGN: Double blind randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Thammasat Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Thammasat University. MATERIAL AND METHOD: From January, 2001-December, 2001, 80 patients who underwent outpatient gynecological laparoscopy were randomly allocated into group A (n = 40) and group B (n = 40). The patients in group A received 2 capsules of ginger (1 capsule contain 0.5 g of ginger powder) 1 h before the procedure while the patients in group B received the placebo. The visual analogue nausea scores (VANS) and vomiting times were evaluated at 2, 4 and 24 hours after operation. RESULT: There was a significant difference in the incidence of the nausea between group A [12 (30%)] and group B [23 (57.50%)]. The VANS was lower in group A than in group B at 2 and 4 hours (p < 0.05). No difference of VANS at 24 hours was found in both groups. Incidence and frequency of vomiting in group A were lower than group B but there were not statistically different. CONCLUSION: From our data, ginger is effective in prevention of nausea after outpatient gynecological laparoscopy.
