BACKGROUND Placenta previa and placenta accreta carry significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Several techniques have been described in the literature for controlling massive bleeding associated with placenta previa cesarean sections. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of the cervix as a natural tamponade in controlling postpartum hemo...

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence velamentous cord insertion (VCI) and actual association between pathologically confirmed VCI perinatal outcomes in twins based on chorionicity. Methods: All twin pregnancies that received prenatal care at a specialty clinic for multiple pregnancies, from less than 12 weeks gestation until delivery single institution 2015 2018 ...

Objectives: Analysis of success variables cervical ripening with the Foley catheter in patients prior cesarean section (PCD), post-term pregnancy (PP), and a Bishop score £6. Evaluation technique’s safety. Study design: Prospective cohort trial which 120 were enrolled, from April 2014 to May 2018. PCD was codified four groups: 1) failed Induction (FI); 2) non-progressive labor (NPL) or cephalop...

Observational studies of necrotic core progression identify intraplaque hemorrhage as a critical factor in atherosclerotic plaque growth and destabilization. The rapid accumulation of erythrocyte membranes causes an abrupt change in plaque substrate characterized by increased free cholesterol within the lipid core and excessive macrophage infiltration. Neoangiogenesis is associated closely with...

To determine the relation between placenta previa and male sex at birth, the authors conducted two types of analysis: 1) a historical cohort analysis of singleton live births in New Jersey hospitals during 1989-1992 (N = 447,963); and 2) a meta-analysis of previously published studies on the subject. For the cohort analysis, subject mother-infant dyads were identified from linked birth certific...

Work in different organisms revealed that the vasa gene product is essential for germline specification. Here, we describe the asymmetric segregation of zebrafish vasa RNA, which distinguishes germ cell precursors from somatic cells in cleavage stage embryos. At the late blastula (sphere) stage, vasa mRNA segregation changes from asymmetric to symmetric, a process that precedes primordial germ ...

 Because of an unknown factor, the frequency of complicated pregnancy with placenta previa has been raised during past decade. This study was designed to deepen our understanding of risk factors and outcomes of placenta previa in our country. This study investigated 694 cases of placenta previa comparing with 600 healthy pregnant women with not overlie placenta in two referral and tertiary Obst...

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of placenta Previa in patients coming to a tertiary care unit with previously scarred and non-scarred uterus. METHODS A descriptive cross sectional study was carried on 114 cases who underwent caesarean sections (37 cases out of 645 cases with non scarred uterus and 77 cases from 721 cases with scarred uterus) in the department of obstetrics and gynecology...

Ultrasound is a useful adjunct to the physical examination, particularly in obstetrics patients. By ultrasonography we visualize the placenta position in-situ and describe various positioning of placenta in the uterus. The placenta is positioned at different sites in the uterus which can predict methods of parturition. The objective of this study is to investigate the different positions of pla...
