To determine the frequency of caesarean section with its indication by grouping according to Modified Robson's Criteria at JPMC. ⋯ Planning of the caesarean section of primigravida should be carefully decided. The role of safe VBAC plays the key role in decreasing Cesarean Section rate. Moreover, foetal distress and caesareans in Primigravida should be evaluated with great accuracy to decrease the caesarean section rate.

To compare the clinical efficacy of robot of stereotactic assistant (ROSA) and frame-assisted stereotactic drilling and drainage for intracerebral hematoma in hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH). ⋯ Compared with frame-assisted stereotactic drilling and drainage for intracerebral hematoma, ROSA in HICH treatment shortens the surgical duration and postoperative extubation time, reduces the risks of infection and rehemorrhage and decreases inflammatory level, which is helpful for the recovery of neurological function.
-
To explore the significance of recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH) therapy in promoting the growth and development of children with idiopathic short stature (ISS). ⋯ In the treatment of children with Idiopathic Short Stature (ISS), the choice of rhGH can further improve the curative effect, promote the growth and development of children, without significant adverse reactions.

To measure choroidal thickness (CT) in highly myopia eyes using enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical tomography (EDI SD-OCT) and explore the relationship between the CT and axial length (AL) and corneal curvature. ⋯ EDI SD-OCT can quantitatively measure the CT of high myopia. The CT of patients with high myopia was significantly thinner than that of the control group of the same age. There was a significant correlation between diopter, AL and CT, suggesting that AL is a parameter indicating the degree of myopia, and the change of CT may play a role in the occurrence and development of high myopia.
