ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Uterine torsion are extremely rare in pregnancy as few cases have been reported. Torsion of the pregnant uterus is defined as the rotation more than 45 degrees around the long axis of the uterus. It has been referred as, once-in-a-lifetime diagnosis by obstetricians and gynecologists. This paper reports a case of uterine torsion and velamentous cord insertion from our obstetrical practice, along with a review of reported cases. CASE PRESENTATION: The 30-year-old patient (G2P1) at 38 weeks' gestation with a singleton pregnancy, was admitted to the Obstetrical Unit with uterine cramping and decreased fetal movement. Her prior obstetrical history included one uncomplicated term Cesarean section (2016), the current pregnancy had been velamentous cord insertion at 20 weeks' gestation and intra-uterine growth restriction at the 33rd -week gestation until the presentation date. Emergency Cesarean section was performed the 90 degrees uterine torsion and was diagnosed intra-operatively. This patient and her baby recovered and were discharged home on the fifth post-operative day. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Uterine torsion, a rare pregnancy complication, should be considered when evaluating acute abdominal pain or performing a Cesarean delivery, especially in cases of abnormal fetal presentation, pelvic adhesions, uterine fibroids, malformations, or ovarian tumors. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial due to the negative prognosis for both mother and baby. CONCLUSION: Uterine torsion along with velamentous cord insertion is difficult to diagnosis due to its rarity. It is essential to focus on uterine malformations during ultrasound examinations in the first, second, and third trimesters.

ABSTRACT

Background: In Vietnam, there has been, currently, no standardized tool for depression assessment for people with dementia (PWD). Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD) is a widely studied and used scale for PWD worldwide. Objectives: The aim of this study was to standardize the Vietnamese version of the CSDD (V-CSDD) in depression assessment in PWD through reliability and validity examination. Methods: V-CSDD was rated in terms of reliability and validity with gold standard regarding "major depressive episode" and "major depressive-like episode" of DSM-5. Cronbach's α, ICC, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and receiver operating characteristic analysis were performed. Results: V-CSDD was found to have a high internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.80), inter-rater reliability at sound ranking (ICC = 0.89; 95% CI = 0.81-0.94), maximum cut-off mark of 13 (sensitivity = 70%, specificity = 92%), and EFA, which suggested that V-CSDD may comprise 5 factors. Conclusions: Results indicate the V-CSDD to be a reliable and valid assessment and to be beneficial in classifying and diagnosing depression in dementia outpatients in clinical contexts.
