EXPRESSION OF SUBSTANCE P IN BRAINSTEMS OF VICTIMS OF SUDDEN UNEXPLAINED PERINATAL DEATH
Sudden perinatal death including SIDS is a rare but lethal syndrome and there is no symptom of this disorder until the fatal outcome has occurred. Epidemiological, genetic, molecular and pathological studies conducted so far give us some possible explanations about it but are inadequate to explain …

Factors associated with stillbirths during intrapartum care at the Windhoek central hospital and intermediate hospital Katutura, Khomas region, Namibia
Intrapartum stillbirths account for 1.3 million deaths worldwide, which is half of all stillbirths occurring during labour and delivery. NSA (2020), states that the current stillbirths’ rate in Namibia is not calculated due to the limitations of data. The present study investigated factors …
