Background: Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) needs confirmation of left conduction system capture assessed by testing of different electrical parameters. Guidelines recommend the use of an electrophysiology recording system (EP-RS) to guide conduction system pacing procedures. However, some experienced centers perform LBBAP procedures without an EP-RS.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates listeriosis, a disease caused by a Gram-positive bacterium, particularly focusing on its impact on pregnant women, who have a higher risk of severe outcomes, with symptoms like fever and abdominal pain being common.
  • - A retrospective analysis of six confirmed listeriosis cases at Hospital Materno Infantil de Málaga revealed complications such as intrauterine death, but antibiotic treatment showed positive results.
  • - The findings highlight the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to enhance outcomes for both mothers and their babies, as untreated listeriosis can lead to severe fetal complications, including prematurity and infections.

Twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS) in monochorionic twin pregnancies is a potentially serious complication caused by unidirectional vascular anastomoses in the placenta, resulting in one anemic donor twin and one polycythemic recipient twin. Diagnosis of this condition is achieved through Doppler ultrasound assessment of the difference between the MoM of the peak systolic velocity of the middle cerebral artery between the twins, establishing the diagnosis with a delta value >0.5 MoM.

Background: Cesarean sections are the most common abdominal surgical interventions worldwide, with increasing rates in both developed and developing countries. Postpartum (hemorrhage PPH) during cesarean sections can lead to maternal morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality rates. Although various non-surgical measures have been recommended for PPH prevention, surgical techniques such as uterine artery ligation and embolization have been used to manage PPH effectively.
