Article Type: Review Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 12
This systematic review draws together current findings from high-impact medical literature to examine whether Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and consanguinity might be linked. Consanguinity - marriage between biologically related individuals - remains common in parts of the world and is known to increase autozygosity. That genetic effect could matter for a complex, multifactorial condition like PCOS, by both exposing recessive genetic variants and shifting overall polygenic risk....

It assumes greater significance in situations where administering general anaesthesia is associated with significant risks, such as in pregnant women. Dry tap can have myriad causes, such as a blocked needle, incorrect technique, wrong space, and low cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Alternate neuraxial approaches, such as epidural anaesthesia, can be attempted in certain patients, but the risk of an unrecognized dural puncture must be borne in mind....
