Uterine rupture constitutes a critical obstetric emergency that presents substantial risks to both the maternal and fetal populations. This investigation evaluated the surgical interventions available for uterine rupture, emphasizing laparoscopic repair subsequent to uterine rupture. Laparoscopic repair serves as a fertility-sustaining alternative to conventional laparotomy, demonstrating comparable operative durations of 80 min (interquartile range [IQR] 60-114) for laparoscopic procedures versus 78 min (IQR 58-114) for laparotomy interventions.

Here, a highly reproducible superconducting state in undoped PrNiO thin films grown on SrTiO are demonstrated. Scanning transmission electron microscopy measurements show coherent infinite-layer phase with no visible stacking-fault defects, an overall high structural quality where possible unintentional chemical doping or interstitial oxygen, if present, sum well below the measurable threshold of the technique.

Recently,Italian Gastric Cancer Research Group(GIRCG)study showed SL changed peritoneal status in over 20% of cases. This study aims to evaluate SL's role in cM+ patients and refine indications.

Methods: Donor hearts from wild-type (WT) mice were stratified by preservation technique. Group 1 (n=4) hearts served as non-transplanted controls.
Introduction: The treatment of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bloodstream infections (BSI) remains challenging due to the organism's intrinsic multidrug resistance and the potential side effects of commonly used first-line antibiotics.
Methods: Here, we describe four cases of S. maltophilia BSI treated with cefiderocol (≥ 72 h) in different Italian hospitals.
