Pyomyoma associated with bacteremia and puerperal pyrexia: A case report.

Objective: To report a case of pyomyoma, a serious complication of the uterine leiomyoma, in a postpartum woman. As the occurrence of pyomyoma in association with pregnancy is rather rare, a brief literature review of the condition in pregnant women is provided.

Case Report: A 41-year-old woman was found to have pyomyoma following persistent fever during the postpartum period of a first-time vaginal delivery.

Associations between gene expression of magnesium transporters and glucose metabolism in pregnancy.

Background/purpose: To assess the relationship between gene expressions of the magnesium transporters and glucose parameters in pregnant women.

Methods: A cohort of women without ongoing or prior medical illnesses was recruited at the start of an early singleton pregnancy. Expression levels of the magnesium transporters-SLC41A1, CNNM2, MAGT1, TRPM6, and TRPM7-were assessed in the peripheral leukocytes, while total calcium and magnesium were assessed in the serum between 10 and 13 weeks gestation.

Acute pancreatitis secondary to primary hyperparathyroidism in a postpartum patient: a case report and literature review.

Objective: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a rare clinical entity in reproductive women. Unusual hypercalcemia causing pancreatitis in the peripartum period carries significant morbidity to both the fetus and the mother.

Case Report: A 38-year-old woman developed a morbid course of intractable intra-abdominal abscess by pancreatitis, hydronephrosis by renal lithiasis, and unusual neurological presentations soon after delivery.
