Axillary vein thrombosis 30 h after caesarean section: a case report and literature review.

Background: Axillary vein thrombosis is a very rare disorder. However, a case of axillary vein thrombosis shortly after caesarean section has not been reported previously. We report a case of axillary vein thrombosis 30 h after caesarean section due to an unidentified aetiology.

Correlation Between Clinical Factors and Pregnancy Outcome Following Repeat Cerclage: A Retrospective Analysis of a Chinese Population.

Background: The role of repeat cerclage (RC) among patients with prolapsed membranes remains controversial. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of RC and assess the correlation between clinical factors and pregnancy outcome following RC.

Methods: The clinical data of patients who underwent RC for prolapsed membranes after prior cerclage were retrospectively investigated.

Impact of Obesity on Major Surgical Outcomes in Ovarian Cancer: A Meta-Analysis.

Background: The impact of obesity on the surgical outcomes in patients after primary ovarian cancer surgery is unclear. We aimed at conducting a meta-analysis to evaluate the associations between obesity and major surgical outcomes in ovarian cancer patients.

Method: Embase, PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched for eligible studies.

Removal of laparoscopic cerclage stitches laparotomy and rivanol-induced labour: A case report and literature review.

Background: Laparoscopic cervical cerclage is performed for patients with abnormal cervical anatomy and/or transvaginal cervical cerclage failure. However, the method of removing the stitches to allow labour induction remains controversial. According to published literature, stitches are removed through laparoscopic or transvaginal methods.

Urinary Congophilia Confirmed With the CapCord Test Is Associated With Pregnancy Outcomes in Women With Early-Onset Pre-eclampsia.

The association between misfolded proteins presented in the urine of pregnant women and pregnancy outcomes associated with early-onset pre-eclampsia (PE) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate this association to examine the predictive value of urinary congophilia in the prognostication of pregnancy outcomes in this patient group in the Chinese population. This study included 1,397 patients, of which 46, 147, and 8 patients had gestational hypertension, PE, and chronic hypertension, respectively, and 1,196 were healthy controls undergoing the CapCord test for urinary congophilia.

Role of bone morphogenic protein-4 in gestational diabetes mellitus-related hypertension.

Hyperglycaemia stimulates the synthesis and release of bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) in vascular endothelial cells, which further induces peroxide production and inflammatory responses, leading to vascular endothelial dysfunction. However, the role of BMP-4 in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)-related vascular endothelial dysfunction remains unclear. In the present study, the hypothesis that the overexpression of BMP-4 would induce GDM-related hypertension by impairing vascular endothelial function was evaluated.

Case Report: Recurrent Placental Abruption During Pregnancy in a Patient With Pseudoexstrophy.

Pseudoexstrophy is a rare variant of the exstrophy-epispadias complex, which comprises musculoskeletal defects associated with bladder exstrophy without any urinary tract defects. However, only a few pregnancy complications have been reported in patients with pseudoexstrophy. This report presents the case of a woman with pseudoexstrophy, who survived recurrent placental abruption during the second trimester of her pregnancy.
