We report an extremely unusual case of an undiagnosed cervical ectopic pregnancy resulting in the birth of a live born baby with catastrophic maternal hemorrhage necessitating peripartum hysterectomy, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of such cases.

abortion is an important problem in obstetrics throughout the world. the common and standard method for pregnancy termination at first trimester is surgery (curettage). nowadays, an effective method of pregnancy termination at first trimester is medical treatments. the aim of this study is to compare misoprostol alone or in combination with methotrexate for pregnancy termination at first trimes...

abstract background: we aimed to evaluate an approach to induced abortions during early pregnancies that controls the suction pressure and restricts the duration of the procedure. methods: three hundred patients programmed for induced early pregnancy abortions, hospitalized in the shandong provincial maternity & child care hospital from october 2013 to october 2015, were enrolled. patients were...

the present work was carried out to study the variation in biochemical properties of cervico-vaginal mucus of pregnant and non pregnant animals which could help to design suitable tool in future for early pregnancy diagnosis in buffaloes. cervico-vaginal mucus samples were obtained from 30 buffaloes (12 pregnant and 18 non pregnant) and some biochemical parameters were compared. means of ph, so...

To evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound in early detection of chorionicity and amnionicity in twin pregnancies and evaluate the role of operator-experience, a prospective follow up of 87 consecutive twin pregnancies was performed. Chorionicity and amnionicity were determined by 17 different observers, divided in 2 groups on the basis of their experience, using a composite of US markers at the fi...

Early determination of pregnancy viability is essential for women at risk for experiencing ectopic pregnancy or spontaneous abortion. Several markers of pregnancy viability have been identified including serial human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) monitoring and sonography, in addition to several less commonly available biochemical markers. An ideal test would be readily available, inexpensive an...

conclusions: normothermia and hemodynamic stability are the most important factors which help to reduce fetal loss during open heart surgery in pregnancy. the fetus has an auto-regulation which comes into play when the mother is experiencing shock. objectives: the aim of this study was to report our experience with urgent cardiopulmonary bypass carried out in early pregnancy and to analyze fact...

pregnancy implantation within the scar of a previous cesarean delivery is one of the rarest locations for an ectopic pregnancy. early diagnosis of this condition with the use of ultrasound imaging allows for preserving the uterus and subsequent fertility. however, a delay in either diagnosis or treatment can lead to uterine rupture, hysterectomy and significant maternal morbidity. with increasi...

the purpose of this study was to investigate and compare whether the explant supernatants prepared from endometrial tissues during the proliferative phase, secretory phase and early pregnancy differ in immunosuppressive activity. specimens of nonpregnant endometrium from hysterectomies and normal first trimester decidua following elective aspiration termination of pregnancy were obtained. super...
