Replicated Pattern Formation and Recognition Properties of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid-Imprinted Polymers Using Colloidal Silica Array Molds.

Surface imprinting is an effective and simple method to fabricate and retain imprinted templates and recognizable nanocavities after template extraction. The imprinted effects can be controlled depending on the surface morphological changes. In general, a planar film has a limited area compared to a structured film with relatively higher surface-to-volume (S/V) ratio (A/A), leading to the conventional sensing response upon the functionality of monomers in a fixed chemical composition.

[Splenic artery aneurysm rupture in late pregnancy: a case report and review of the literature].

Haemorrhages during pregnancy may have a non-obstetrical origin, the pregnancy itself favoring some specific aetiologies because of pregnancy-related physiological modifications. These non-obstetrical haemorrhages are rare but are associated with a high maternal and foetal mortality. The prognosis depends on an early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach.

[Use of carbetocin in prevention of uterine atony during cesarean section. Comparison with oxytocin].

Objectives: To compare the efficacy of carbetocin versus oxytocin, during delivery in patients undergoing a caesarian section.

Patients And Methods: A two phase observational study (before/after design) was conducted. Use of carbetocin was considered as a sentinel event.

Analysis of the venous thromboembolic risk associated with severe postpartum haemorrhage in the NOHA First cohort.

Severe postpartum haemorrhages (PPH) are responsible for maternal morbidity/mortality. Their complex management sometimes requires haemostatic supplementation, and therapeutic trials on fibrinogen or activated factor VII, which may add to the thrombotic risk, are currently being considered. Furthermore, there is a risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) during the postpartum period, hence we studied the relationship between severe PPH and VTE in women during their first pregnancy.

Some hemostasis variables at the end of the population distributions are risk factors for severe postpartum hemorrhages.

Background: Severe postpartum hemorrhages (PPH) represent a significant cause of maternal morbidity/mortality, but little is known about its hemostasis-related risk factors. Among the 32 463 women enrolled in the NOHA First cohort, 317 developed severe PPH (S-PPH group), 1269 non-severe PPH (NS-PPH group) and the remaining individuals were considered as control women (C group).

Methods: We performed a case-control study, including 317 triplets of women allocated from the three groups that shared the same clinical characteristics as the S-PPH group.
