ABSTRACT
A variety of changes in placental villi are known to occur in Pregnancy Induced Hypertension. In this study an attempt is made to study 49 placentae from PIH and its correlation to perinatal outcome. Quantification of villous lesions was carried out. The striking villious changes were cytotrophoblastic proliferation, paucity of vasculosyncytial membrane, trophoblastic basement membrane thickening and fibrinoid necrosis of villi. The changes were directly proportional to the severity of disease and perinatal outcome was worse with advancing grades of PIH.

The study was carried out among the adolescents in respect to their beliefs about sexual behavior and their intended decision with regard to engaging in sexual activity. Both male and female respondents indicated that they believe that individuals of their age should wait until they are older before engaging in sexual activity. However, there were significant differences between the responses of male and female adolescents.

Kasabach-Meritt syndrome is a combination of thromobocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, and acute or chronic consumptive coagulopathy in association with rapidly enlarging hemangioma. A male infant of 5 days was admitted in paediatric ward with this syndrome. The baby had ecchymotic patches over face and extremities and bleeding through umbilical stump. The child expired due to severe thrombocytopenia with consumptive coagulopathy leading to precipituous hemorrhage superimposed by septicemia. An autopsy was performed which confirmed retroperitoneal lesion as kaposiform hemangioendothelioma.
