Background: Placenta previa is an obstetric complication in which the placenta is extending into lower uterine segment up to or covering the cervical os. Caesarean section is one of the important risk factor for placenta previa. It is a leading cause of APH and it affects approximately 0.5% of all labours.With the recent rise in the caesarean delivery rate, it is of great value to study the pla...

Placenta previa and low-lying placentas are associated with pregnancy-related hemorrhage. However, most cases resolve prior to delivery. Our objective was determine whether resolution of a placenta or postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). This is retrospective matched-control cohort study women who underwent transvaginal sonography during fetal anatomic survey at the University Pennsylvania from 1/2017-...

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the safety of fetal delivery through placental incision in a placenta previa pregnancy. METHODS We examined the medical records of 80 women with singleton pregnancy diagnosed with placenta previa who underwent cesarean section between May 2010 and May 2015 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Chungbuk National University Hospital. Among the women with place...

The third stage of labor is associated with considerable maternal morbidity and mortality. The major complication is postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), which is the leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Whereas in the event of PPH due to atony of the uterus there exist numerous treatment guidelines; for the management of retained placenta the general consensus is more difficult...

Placenta accreta is a severe pregnancy complication and is currently the most common indication for peripartum hysterectomy. It is becoming an increasingly common complication mainly due to the increasing rate of cesarean delivery. Main risk factor for placenta accreta is a previous cesarean delivery particularly when accompanied with a coexisting placenta previa. Antenatal diagnosis seems to b...

Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) is the enzyme which degrades poly(ADP-ribose) polymers synthesized by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Both enzymes are activated in response to different stimuli like oxidative stress and are involved in DNA repair processes. The retention of bovine foetal membranes (RFM) is supposed to be connected with oxidative stress conditions. The aim of the stud...
