PURPOSE To evaluate whether type and location of placenta previa affect risk of antepartum hemorrhage-related preterm delivery. METHODS We retrospectively studied 162 women with singleton pregnancies presenting placenta previa. Through observation using transvaginal ultrasound the women were categorized into complete or incomplete placenta previa, and then assigned to anterior and posterior g...

Intrauterine growth of fetus mainly depends on adequate function of placenta. Placenta is a fetal organ. It shares same stress and strain to which the fetus is exposed. Thus any disease which affects the mother has a great impact on placenta. Anatomical structure of placenta greatly influences its function. Thus study of placental morphology is considered essential. 136 Pregnancy complications ...

Retained placenta is a common complication of the third stage of labor. Most literature has focused on management of a trapped placenta or placenta accreta. The most common source of a trapped placenta is from a partial closure of the cervix and/or a contracted lower uterine segment. We present an unusual case of a retained placenta trapped in a septate uterus. The management included unsuccess...

Objective: To review the use of transvaginal ultrasound for the diagnosis of placenta previa and recommend management based on accurate placental localization. Options: Transvaginal sonography (TVS) versus transabdominal sonography for the diagnosis of placenta previa; route of delivery, based on placenta edge to internal cervical os distance; in-patient versus out-patient antenatal care; cercl...

the human placenta has long been the subject of scientific interest due to the important roles which it performs during pregnancy in sustaining the fetus and maintaining fetomaternal tolerance. more recently, however, researchers have begun to investigate the possibility that the placenta’s utility may extend beyond fetal development to act as a source of cells with clinically relevant properti...

Placenta previa can be difficult to diagnose with transabdominal sonography during the third trimester of pregnancy, because of difficulties in imaging the cervix late in pregnancy. Although transperineal sonography offers an additional view of the cervix, its value in the diagnosis of placenta previa has not been studied. Accordingly, we performed transperineal sonography on 164 patients who h...

Several major vascular tissues, such as the aorta-gonad-mesonephros region (AGM), yolk sac, and fetal liver have been confirmed to possess hematopoietic function. Recently, the placenta has been demonstrated as another hematopoietic organ. However, it is not conclusive whether the placenta possesses hematopoietic ability. Therefore, we undertook a series of experiments to study the hematopoieti...

Objective Concurrent placenta previa and placenta accreta increase the risk of massive obstetric hemorrhage. Despite extensive research on the management of placenta previa (including placenta accreta, increta, and percreta), the number and quality of previous studies are limited. We present a case of placenta accreta requiring an induced second-trimester abortion because of premature rupture o...

Various medication and routes administration have been reported to increase spontaneous delivery prevent manual removal placenta. Purpose the study compare outcome between misoprostol oxytocin in management retained placenta.
