a rare case of non-puerperal uterine inversion caused by a large fundal leiomyoma in a 39-year nulliparous, infertile woman resulting in intractable hemorrhage was reported after a myomectomy. attempts to reduce the inversion vaginally by transecting the anterior and posterior cervix were unsuccessful and a laparotomy was performed. the inversion was not successfully corrected and hysterectomy ...

The ground and excited states of neutral and cationic PuO and PuO2 have been studied with multiconfigurational quantum chemical methods followed by second order perturbation theory, the CASSCF/CASPT2 method. Scalar relativistic effects and spin-orbit coupling have been included in the treatment. As literature values for the ionization energy of PuO2 are in the wide range of approximately 6.6 eV...

Critically ill obstetric patients are significantly different from the average patient admitted to the medical intensive care unit (ICU). They present a challenge to the critical care physician due to their unique physiology and the specific medical disorders that occur during pregnancy and the peripartum period. The physiologic changes that occur in the pregnant state in several systems, inclu...

The question of operative interference in puerperal infection is a very difficult one in many instances, and at the same time it is one of the highest importance. It is indeed comparatively seldom that one would be justified in performing hysterectomy in such cases, and yet there are occasions, as in the one I am about to record, where life can be saved by the procedure. Schultze, in 1886, laid...
