Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics, maternal and fetal outcomes of trauma in pregnants. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of all traumatised pregnants who admitted to Yüzüncü Yil University teritary referral hospital from June 2010 and December 2012. One hundred seventy-nine pregnants in whom referred for trauma analysed for the data about mechanism of trauma, demographic and obstetric parameters on admission, diagnostic and surgical procedures performed, maternal and fetal outcomes. The SAS statistical package version 9.2 was used in data analysis. Results: Overall, the medical records of 179 patients were reached and included in the study. The mean age was 27.5 ± 5.8. Gestational age ranged from 6 to 39 weeks (mean, 26.2 weeks), with most trauma (49.1%) being in the third trimester. Road trrafic accident (RTA) was the main mechanism of trauma (41.5%) followed by falls (26.4%). Trauma due to animal recoil was seen in three patients. The most injured body area was extremity (34.2%). Traumatised pregnants resulted in metarnal (4 cases) and fetal (16 cases) loss. Most of the fetal loss (49.1%) was seen third trimester, with the main cause detected as placental abruption (8 cases). When compared the complicated pregnancy according to trauma site, abdominal trauma (33.3%) was significantly related to complication in pregnancy than non-abdominal trauma (21.9%) (p = 0.014). Conclusions: Trauma in pregnancy carries risks for both mother and baby. Trauma to abdominal region and trauma in second or third trimester pregnancy is associated with significantly higher maternal and fetal complications.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...
