Inflammatory Allied Conditions

Abstract: Inflammatory allied conditions form an inhomogeneous group of rheumatic diseases affecting various anatomical structures. This wide spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions may represent a challenge to the treating doctor. Ultrasound (US) can be of help not only for the diagnosis of these conditions but also for differentiating the inflammatory from noninflammatory disorders.

Fear of Birth and Modern Maternity Systems of Care

Abstract: This chapter will examine the lived experience of maternity systems and how this shapes practice for obstetricians and midwives. In searching deeper into the care systems we will discover the way women present with anxiety and fear, how this is managed within maternity settings. Why recognising that pregnancy and birth leading to motherhood is more than a physiological event; the best care ensures that women’s psychological wellbeing is nurtured too. Who are these women and what can we learn from them in developing our services to support them. Using an example from a consultant midwife’s clinical setting some of these answers will be revealed.

Transient acute adrenal insufficiency associated with adenovirus serotype 40 infection

Abstract: We present an instance of a 6-year-old boy who was admitted with adenovirus infection and developed transient acute adrenal insufficiency, which required supplementation with glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids for 8 weeks. Adenovirus has got adrenotropic potential and can cause adrenal insufficiency. We could not find any similar reported case in medical literature. We hope our case would add to the existing knowledge of adenoviral complications in paediatric patients.
