A policy of expectant management until 32 weeks of gestation in 29 dichorionic pregnancies discordant for growth retardation resulted in an overall mortality of 24% (95% CI 13.9-37.2%) and a handicap of 2.2% (95% CI 0-12.0%). None of the normally grown co-twins died or was handicapped as a result of iatrogenic prematurity.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a leading cause of death and morbidity relating to pregnancy. Uterine atony is the leading cause of PPH, and trauma, including iatrogenic trauma, increases the risk for postpartum hemorrhage. Women with PPH in a pregnancy are at increased risk of PPH in a subsequent pregnancy. Awareness of these facts, and anticipation and prevention of uterine atony, as well as a...

the uterine rupture during pregnancy is a catastrophic condition resulting in both maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. it occurs in nearly 1% of patients with previous cesarean sections. however, uterine rupture at the site of previous iatrogenic perforation which is spontaneously healed or repaired is less reported. we present a 29-year-old woman, gravida 3 para 1, at 20 weeks of g...

HAART: highly active antiretroviral therapy INTRODUCTION Oral melanoma accounts for approximately 1% of all melanomas. In contrast to cutaneous melanoma, the risk factors for development of oral melanoma are largely unknown. Immunosuppressive states, including HIV infection and iatrogenic immunosuppression, are associated with an increased risk of melanoma development. Pregnancy has not been fo...

Doppler interrogation of the uterine arteries provides information on the physiologic transformation of the spiral arteries during pregnancy. Lack or suboptimal conversion of such arteries by the late second or third trimester of pregnancy is a strong indicator of increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcome, in particular, iatrogenic prematurity due to severe fetal growth restriction or preecl...

Inferior venacaval compression is a common problem in late pregnancy. It can also occur due to compression of inferior venacava by abdominal or pelvic tumors. We report a case of acute iatrogenic inferior venacaval compression due to excessive abdominal packing during an intraabdominal surgery.

Introduction: Pregnancy is associated with significant physiological, psychological, and social changes that affect normal sleep. Sleep disorders whose frequency increases significantly during pregnancy can include restless legs syndrome (RLS). The incidence of RLS in gestational age reaches its maximum the third trimester pregnancy. Reduced sleep quality hypertension pre-eclampsia (PE), among ...
