Placental abruption complicates about 1% of pregnancies and is a leading cause of vaginal bleeding in the latter half of pregnancy. It is also an important cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. The maternal effect of abruption depends primarily on its severity, whereas its effect on the fetus is determined both by its severity and the gestational age at which it occurs. Risk factors for a...

BACKGROUND The lifesaving treatment endured by cancer patients leads, in many women, to early menopause and subsequent infertility. In clinical situations for which chemotherapy needs to be started, ovarian tissue cryopreservation looks to be a promising option to restore fertility. In 1997, biopsy samples of ovarian cortex were taken from a woman with stage IV Hodgkin's lymphoma and cryopreser...

Interstitial pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy with significant risk for morbidity. A 32-year-old woman, was brought to the emergency department with severe abdominal pain and syncope. There was no history of menolipsis and usage of any contraceptive methods. Serum ß hCG arrival was 11224 IU/L. Trans-vaginal ultrasound scan showed an empty uterus with a displaced 16 × 26 mm gestatio...

Ultrasonography has been extensively used in obstetrics and gynecology since 1980's. It found application in pediatric gynecology, procreation period, post-menopause, pregnancy monitoring and after delivery. Although the first reports on the use of ultrasonography in assessing delivery mechanism were published in 1990's, yet to date labor progress is evaluated by means of physical examination i...

Objective: This study is to investigate the effect of different delivery modes on pelvic floor structure by using ultrasonography. Method: A total of 194 cases of patients visited Liaocheng Peoples’ Hospital aged between 25 to 40 y old were enrolled in this retrospective study. According to their fertility status, these 194 cases were divided into childless group and fertility group. The fertil...

Renal artery aneurysm has an incidence of lower than one in 1000 of the general population. The risk of aneurysm rupture increases during pregnancy due to hormonal and hemodynamic changes. Therefore, these patients often refer to physicians with abdominal pain that is followed by shock. We report the case of a 41-year-old multiparous woman who was referred with symptoms of epigastric pain and h...

Overall success rate of pregnancies in kidney transplant recipients is higher than 90% if pregnancy goes beyond the 1st trimester. Risks to mother include hypertension, preeclampsia, infections, and worsening proteinuria, and those to the fetus are prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation, and low birth weight. Hepatitis B infection is associated with progressive liver disease and diminishe...

Cephalhematoma (CH) is less commonly encountered problem of infancy with an incidence of 1 % however calcified CHs are seldom. The exact reason of calcification remains unclear. We report two cases of calcified CHs that developed as a complication of vacuum extraction during vaginal delivery. Calcified CHs generally present with cosmetic reasons like skull asymmetry and calvarial mass. Although...

Cloacal dysgenesis sequence (CDS) is a lethal and rare congenital malformation; usually requiring termination of gestation. As prenatal ultrasonography remains a method with doubtable results, we used Fetal Magnetic Resonance Urography (FMRU) for the evaluation of a fetus at 18 weeks of gestation, suspected to cloacal anomalies. Prenatal imaging of the patient; showed smooth perineum, bilateral...
