the objectives of this study were to 1) describe the risk factors, incidence, production and reproduction consequences of retained placenta in dairy cows, and 2) estimate the financial losses associated with retained placenta. calving records from march 2008 to december 2013 comprising 59,341 calving were included in the data set. the effects of risk factors on retained placenta incidence were ...

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.

because of an unknown factor, the frequency of complicated pregnancy with placenta previa has been raised during past decade. this study was designed to deepen our understanding of risk factors and outcomes of placenta previa in our country. this study investigated 694 cases of placenta previa comparing with 600 healthy pregnant women with not overlie placenta in two referral and tertiary obste...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the perinatal outcome of twin pregnancies delivered in a tertiary teaching hospital according to chorionicity. METHODS A retrospective study involving 289 twin pregnancies delivered from January 2003 to December 2006 was carried out. Maternal and perinatal data were obtained from hospital charts and delivery logs. Chorionicity was determined by ultrasono...

to investigate the effects of certain factors on the rate of retained placenta, 2844 calving records from 1288 holstein cows in a herd were used. these cows calved during year period of 2001 to 2007. a generalized statistical linear model was applied to analyze the data. logistic regression model was applied as the statistical model. in the model, fixed effects of year, season (warm or cold) an...

background & aim: cervical ectopic pregnancy is a rare variant of ectopic pregnancy, and placenta percreta is a complex and dangerous condition; patients with these conditions are difficult to manage. in this study, we present a rare case of placenta percreta in cervical pregnancy. case report: a 32 -year-old woman with 19 weeks of gestation and gross hematuria was admitted to qaem hospital in ...

pedunculated chorangioma is extremely rare type of chorangioma. to the best of our knowledge, no case has been reported in indian literature. we report one such rare case in a twenty two year old primi gravida who delivered a full term live female baby by lower section caesarian section (lscs). gross examination revealed a nodular mass attached to the placenta by a pedicle. histopathological ex...

Background: The incidence of twins worldwide continues to increase. The intrapartum management of twins is a major area of risk in obstetrics, and the optimal mode of delivery is a subject of continuing debate, this can affect the physician counseling, and maternal requests for elective cesarean delivery. Planned caesarean delivery could theoretically avoid some of the risks but direct evidence...

Background: Placenta accreta is one of the known causes of maternal mortality and morbidity. If diagnosed before delivery, appropriate actions can be taken. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of scaling combination of risk factors in predicting placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 120 pregnant women with two criteria and more of placenta previ...

A case of a 27 year old G1P0 female with a dichorionic, diamniotic twin pregnancy presenting with premature rupture of membranes found to have omental caking and diffuse yellow-tan peritoneal nodules, clinically suspicious for carcinomatosis. The case work-up showed this to be an example of florid-diffuse peritoneal deciduosis mimicking carcinomatosis which has since resolved 4 months postpartum.
