This study aims to compare maternal outcomes between different methods of vascular control in surgical PAS management.
Material And Methods: A retrospective cohort study on consecutive cases diagnosed with PAS between 2013 and 2020 in single tertiary hospital.

Background: Insulin resistance is a frequent metabolic disorder in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Moringa oleifera has been shown to increase insulin expres-sion and decrease the degree of insulin in diabetes mellitus, therefore it is expected that Moringa oleifera could decrease insulin levels and increase folliculogenesis in PCOS.
Objective: To prove the effect of Moringa oleifera leaf extract in various doses might decrease the insulin levels and increase folliculogenesis in female PCOS-insulin resistant rats.

Objective: To compare the level of serum heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), soluble FMS like tyrosine kinase (sFlt-1), and neonatal outcome in early onset preeclampsia (EO-PE), late onset preeclampsia (LO-PE), and normal pregnancy (NP).
Methods: In this prospective observational case control study, HO-1 and sFlt-1 levels were measured in blood samples within 24 h of hospital admission. Preeclampsia cases were divided into two groups based on gestational age at delivery: EO-PE (<34 weeks) and LO-PE (≥34 weeks).
BACKGROUND Recurrent seizure in patients with magnesium sulfate-treated eclampsia is very rare and requires meticulous management due to poor prognosis. The development of eclamptic convulsions is considered a preventable obstetric situation. Magnesium sulfate has been the drug of choice in such cases.

Materials And Methods: Twelve consecutive patients strongly suspected of having AIP on the basis of conventional ultrasound (US) and clinical history performed between September 2016 and December 2016 in the main tertiary referral hospital in Surabaya, East Java were included in this prospective observational study. A Samsung WS 80A Elite US scanner with a 3D/4D "crystal vue" and "realistic vue" volume rendering mode was used to establish the diagnosis of AIP and evaluate the site, and depth of placental invasion.
