Pregnancy Following Spontaneous Healing of Uterine Rupture: A Case Report and Experience of Management.

Uterine rupture can heal naturally without the need for surgical intervention. However, reports on subsequent pregnancies are limited. A 27-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 1, visited our institution at seven weeks of gestation.

Obstetrical outcomes of pregnant women 50 years and older compared to those aged 45-49 years: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: In this review, We compared clinical characteristics of pregnant women aged 50 and older with those aged 45-49. Pregnant women ≥45 years are strongly associated with pregnancy-related complications, such as cesarean section rate, gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus, and preterm birth. Although pregnant women ≥50 years are considered more high-risk, differences in pregnancy outcomes between those over 45 and 50 years of age are unclear.

Pregnancy outcomes at maternal age over 45 years: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to identify trends in pregnancy outcomes, especially delivery mode, among pregnant patients older than 45 years.

Data Sources: A literature search was performed using PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for studies published between January 1, 2010, and June 30, 2022.

Study Eligibility Criteria: The primary outcomes were cesarean delivery and assisted delivery.

Unexpected uterine body placenta accreta spectrum with placenta previa in a subsequent pregnancy after uterine artery embolization: a case report.

Background: A subsequent pregnancy after uterine artery embolization (UAE) raises several concerns, one of which is placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). Placenta previa is the strongest risk factor for PAS, which is most likely to occur in the lower uterine segment. PAS without placenta previa (i.

Massive ascites due to lupus peritonitis in a patient with pre-eclampsia and systemic lupus erythematosus: a case report.

Background: Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are associated with pre-eclampsia. Pre-eclampsia can have systemic manifestations, such as ascites. Lupus peritonitis, a rare condition in patients with SLE, can also cause ascites.

Clinical results of image-guided interstitial brachytherapy with or without external beam radiotherapy for postsurgical vaginal recurrence of cervical and endometrial cancers.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcome and efficacy of image-guided interstitial brachytherapy (ISBT) for postsurgical vaginal recurrence of cervical and endometrial cancers.

Materials And Methods: The study included 11 patients who received CT-based image-guided high-dose-rate ISBT with or without external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). Local control, progression-free survival, and treatment-related toxicities were evaluated retrospectively.

Successful repeated uterine artery embolization in postpartum hemorrhage with disseminated intravascular coagulation: a case report and literature review.

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a potentially fatal condition requiring urgent and appropriate intervention. Uterine artery embolization (UAE) has a high hemostatic capacity for PPH, but it may fail. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) has been reported as a risk factor associated with the failure of UAE.

Vulvar Extramammary Paget Disease Detected by Cytology for Cervical Cancer Screening: A Case Report and Literature Review.

BACKGROUND Vulvar extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) with abnormal cervical cytology is extremely rare. We encountered a case of secondary EMPD derived from urothelial carcinoma diagnosed after cytological examination for cervical cancer screening. We diagnosed the case promptly owing to suspicion based on the patient's medical history and vulvar appearance.

Factor Structure and Measurement Invariance of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale Across the Peripartum Period Among Pregnant Japanese Women.

Purpose: The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a self-report questionnaire widely used to assess anxiety and depression. To the best of our knowledge, only four studies have examined the factor structure of the HADS for assessing pregnant women, with conflicting results. This study aimed to assess the factor structure and measurement invariance of the HADS for use with pregnant Japanese women.

Depression, Anxiety and Primiparity are Negatively Associated with Mother-Infant Bonding in Japanese Mothers.

Purpose: Postpartum depression is a well-known risk factor, and postpartum anxiety and parity are potential risk factors, for mother-infant bonding disorder. However, few studies have focused on the relationships among these factors and mother-infant bonding. This cross-sectional study explored the associations between depression, anxiety and parity, and mother-infant bonding.

Treatment for patients with recurrent fetal losses positive for anti-cardiolipin beta2 glycoprotein I antibody using Sairei-to (Chai-ling-tang) and low-dose aspirin.

Aim: Recently, it is widely recognized that positivity for anti-phospholipid antibodies is a causative factor for a range of reproductive failures. Anti-cardiolipin beta2 glycoprotein I antibody (anti-CL-beta2-GPI) is a representative anti-phospholipid antibody, which strongly correlates with the development of thrombotic events and diversity of adverse pregnancies. In this series, we aimed to elucidate effective treatment for patients with recurrent fetal losses positive for anti-CL-beta2-GPI using Japanese-modified Chinese herbal medicine.

The Safety and Effectiveness of Abdominal Radical Trachelectomy for Early-Stage Cervical Cancer During Pregnancy.

Objectives: Cervical cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in pregnancy. Our aim was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of abdominal radical trachelectomy (ART) for pregnant women with early-stage cervical cancer who strongly desire to preserve their pregnancies.

Methods/materials: A retrospective observational study was performed for stage IB1 cervical cancer patients who underwent ART or radical hysterectomy (RH) at our hospital between February 2013 and June 2017.

Effectiveness of fetal cardiac screening for congenital heart disease using a combination of the four-chamber view and three-vessel view during the second trimester scan.

Aim: We aimed to assess the accuracy and effectiveness of fetal cardiac screening for congenital heart disease (CHD) during the second trimester by general obstetricians in a non-selected population.

Methods: In this multicenter, prospective cohort study of fetal cardiac screening, four-chamber and three-vessel views were recorded by obstetricians at 18-21 gestational weeks (GW). A total of 3005 fetuses that were scheduled for delivery at our institution were included.
