In the research article Limenih A, et al. noted the Institutional delivery service utilization is essential to improve maternal and child health and It is recommended that motivating mothers through formal education and awareness creation about the benefit of institutional delivery service utilization and the risk of home delivery should be given due attention especially in rural area by the local health workers [1]. Sharma in his studies assessed diagnostic pointer in index case was malformed fetal toes visible at introitus of mother in advanced second stage of labour [2].

du Mesniladelee et al. in their study they evaluated duration of antibiotic treatment in neonatal late onset sepsis is empirical. The authors concluded that the use of procalcitonine in neonatal late onset sepsis as a guide to duration of treatment may limit the prescription of antibiotics. This should be further examined in a controlled study [3].

Effiong JE, et al. reviewed caesarean sections using Robson (Ten-group) classification system. They concluded that women who had undergone caesarian (CS) previously, women with first time pregnancy having more 37 weeks of gestation period and pregnant women having more 37 weeks of gestation period who has given normal birth previously are more prone to caesarian sections [4].

Igberase GO, et al., Maruotti GM, et al., Blackburn P, et al., Feng J, et al., reported on their cases Funding Options for Assisted Reproductive Technologies in Developing Countries, Improving Number of Antepartum Computerized Fetal Heart Monitoring Testing in Women with Preeclampsia with Severe Features does not Improve Maternal or Perinatal Outcome but Improve the Incidence of Caesarean Delivery, Abdominal Wall Varices in Pregnancy-A Case Report and Review of the Literature, Adjunct Therapy with Ketogenic Diet to Infant Bacterial Meningitis and concluded that all are retrospective studies [11-14].
