Central placenta praevia accreta with focal bladder percretism. Conservative management.

Placenta praevia is a condition when placenta is inserted in an abnormal position near or over the internal cervical orifice (ICO). Abnormal placental attachment (placenta accreta, increta, percreta) is a wide spectrum disorder ranging from abnormal adherence to deeply invasive placental tissue. We report a very rare case of central placenta praevia accreta and focal bladder percretism in a 29 years old pregnant woman with an obstetrical history of one previous vaginal delivery and four curettages following miscarriage.

Congenital toxoplasmotic chorioretinitis following reinfection.

Toxoplasmosis does not usually give any symptoms to a pregnant woman and in most cases she does not realize to be infected. On the contrary, in the newborn, congenital toxoplasmosis can be responsible of hydrocephalus, microcephaly, intracranial calcifications, strabismus, blindness, epilepsy, mental retardation, thrombocytopenia, anemia and chorioretinitis. All these pathologies have been reported in the primary infection, while they are unusual in either reinfections or recurrences.

Renal and Hepatic Functions after A Week of Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation during Fertilization Cycles.

Background: One the main aspects of fertilization (IVF) cycle is to avoid any possible systemic damage on women undergoing a controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH). The aim of this work is to evaluate renal and hepatic function blood tests in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation during IVF cycles.

Materials And Methods: We performed a prospective cohort analysis.

Retroperitoneal sarcoma involving unilateral double ureter: management, treatment and psychological implications.

The case of a 45-year-old woman who was admitted to our university hospital for polymenorrhea, weight gain and pain in the left iliac region is reported. An abdominal ultrasound revealed a 9.5 × 5.

Case Report: Atypical Cornelia de Lange Syndrome.

Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) (also called Bushy Syndrome or Amsterdam dwarfism), is a genetic disorder that can lead to several alterations. This disease affects both physical and neuropsychiatric development. The various abnormalities include facial dysmorphia (arched eyebrows, synophrys, depressed nasal bridge, long philtrum, down-turned angles of the mouth), upper-extremity malformations, hirsutism, cardiac defects, and gastrointestinal alterations.

Physical and psychological implications in a multiple and preterm caesarean section. A case report.

Cesarean section (CS) in Italy has continuously increasing rates. Due to the primary CS, the repeated CS have shown a superimposable trend. Consequently, a number of pathologies are related to such surgery among which placenta previa, dehiscence of previous scar, placenta accreta and preterm delivery.

The reproduction in women affected by cooley disease.

The health background management and outcomes of 5 pregnancies in 4 women affected by Cooley Disease, from Paediatric Institute of Catania University, are described, considering the preconceptual guidances and cares for such patients. These patients were selected among a group of 100 thalassemic women divided into three subgroups, according to their first and successive menstruation characteristics: i) patients with primitive amenorrhoea, ii) patients with secondary amenorrhoea and iii) patients with normal menstruation. Only one woman, affected by primitive amenorrhoea, needed the induction of ovulation.

CD34(+) stem cells from umbilical cord blood.

We describe the relation between umbilical cord clamping time and two different enrichment system of CD34(+) stem cells from umbilical cord blood with the proliferative ability and bone marrow reconstitution of the stem cells obtained. After an obstetrician performed the cord blood collection, the purification of stem cells was performed either with a combination of monoclonal antibodies (negative selections) using the Stem Sep method, or with a positive cells selection based on their surface CD34 antigens using the Mini Macs system. An excellent recovery of haematopoietic progenitors [Burst Forming Unit Erythroids (BFUE); Colony Forming Unit Granulocytes and Macrophages (CFU-GM); and Colony Forming Unit Granulocytes, Erythroids, Monocytes and Macrophages (CFU-GME)], inversely related to the increase in clamping time, was performed with the Mini Macs system (54% of colonies, with 90% purity).

Huge fibroid (g. 3.000) removed during cesarean section with uterus preservation. A case report.

Removal of a giant fibroid during a caesarean section is very rare. We report a case of multiple myomectomy among which a huge myomas (cm 22, weight 3.000 g) in a 44 years old nullipara at 38 weeks.
