Objective: Chylous effusion and chylous ascites are rare but serious conditions that affect both fetuses and neonates. Previous studies have documented chylous effusions or chylous ascites treatment with medications as an adjunct to respiratory support and dietary modifications, but no formal recommendations have been made. New literature suggests propranolol as an effective and safe treatment option, though no randomized clinical studies have been published to date.

Article Synopsis
- - Postpartum hemorrhage is a significant cause of maternal health issues globally, and a new low-suction vacuum hemorrhage device (VHD) may offer an alternative treatment when standard medications fail.
- - A systematic review analyzed data from six studies, involving a total of 1,018 participants, where VHDs showed around 90% effectiveness in controlling bleeding within 5 minutes and had a total deployment time of 3 hours.
- - Although some minor adverse events were reported, the conclusion suggests that VHDs could provide a fast and effective mechanical solution for postpartum hemorrhage, but further rigorous studies are needed to evaluate their safety and efficacy.
