vascular injuries with acute or chronic arterial hemorrhage after femoral shaft fractures are a rare but a life-threatening complication. we observed a case of iatrogenic rupture of the profunda femoris artery after the internal fixation of a femoral shaft fracture. the pseudoaneurysm, presenting with painful expansile swelling and hemodynamic instability, together with the rupture was evident ...

Spontaneous renal pelvis rupture is a rare situation. It is nearly always related to underlying renal abnormalities caused by calculus, infection, tumor or pregnancy, resulting in hydronephrosis. In some situations, it is iatrogenic, such as fluid overload during diagnostic or therapeutic interventions. Here, we present a case of spontaneous renal pelvis rupture with no predisposing factor foun...

Modern medical devices such as ultrasonographic devices, cardiotocographs or neonatological incubators, from the technical point of view, stem from the greatest advances of science from the beginning of the twentieth century, i.e. quantum theory and the theory of relativity. Unfortunately, their use in obstetrics paradoxically leads to iatrogenic morbidity and mortality due to lack of understan...

Purpose: Official guideline published and coordinated by the German Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics (DGGG). Hypertensive pregnancy disorders contribute significantly to perinatal as well as maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Also in Germany these diseases are a major course for hospitalization during pregnancy, iatrogenic preterm birth and long-term cardiovascular morbidity. Metho...

Background Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a disorder of defective bile acid transport that results in systemic accumulation of bile acids and typically presents in the third trimester of pregnancy with intense pruritus. A positive linear correlation exists between total bile acid level and poor pregnancy outcome, and labor is typically induced at 37 weeks gestation to prevent in...

INTRODUCTION Pregnancy following successful embolisation of a uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is rare. Hypovascularity of treated areas affecting placentation and fetal growth has been postulated to be the cause for adverse pregnancy outcomes. CLINICAL PICTURE A 37-year-old multiparous lady presented with anaemia from repeated heavy vaginal bleeding from an iatrogenic uterine AVM. Th...

I'HIS paper is based on a review of all cases of multiple pregnancy occurring in the Belfast Maternity Hospital, Townsend Street, and the Royal Maternity Hospital, Belfast, during the last ten years 1927-36. During this period, 164 mothers were delivered of twins, and one mother was delivered of triplets, i.e., 165 mothers gave birth to 331 babies. The number of twin pregnancies over this perio...

ObjectiveTo determine the relationship between high antimüllerian hormone (AMH) levels and increased preterm delivery risk in populations of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or unexplained infertility undergoing ovulation induction.DesignSecondary analysis data from two multicenter randomized clinical trials: Pregnancy Polycystic Ovary Syndrome II (PPCOS II); Assessment Multiple Intr...

Since the first report of COVID-19 in December 2019, our knowledge and treatment modalities have evolved at great pace understanding its impact on maternal neonatal outcomes. Whilst pregnant patients are not more susceptible to acquiring infection as compared general population, they may be higher risk developing severe symptoms given physiological changes, relative immune-compromised state pre...
