Bakri Balloon: an easy, useful and effective option for the treatment of postpartum haemorrhage.

We report our postpartum haemorrhage protocol focussing on the use of Bakri Balloon, describing its placement and affixing method, effectiveness rates, risk factors that might contribute to Bakri Balloon's failure and complications associated. We designed a retrospective study including 147 cases where a Bakri Balloon was necessary to control the postpartum uterine bleeding to assess the efficacy and to determine which clinical, obstetric or delivery variables could be associated with successful treatment. Failed treatment was defined when surgery or any other technique was needed after a Bakri Balloon placement in order to control uterine bleeding.

Uterocervical angle at 20 weeks: A promising predictor of spontaneous preterm birth in twin pregnancies.

Objective: To compare the performance of uterocervical angle (UCA) and cervical length (CL) measurement at 20 weeks of pregnancy for prediction of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) in twin pregnancies.

Study Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 424 twin pregnancies who delivered in our center from October 2014 to December 2018 and who underwent transvaginal ultrasound between 19-22 weeks to measure CL during routine second trimester scan. Recorded ultrasound images of CL were reassessed to evaluate UCA.

Ultrasound-guided intrasacular injection of methotrexate in the management of ectopic pregnancies with embryo. A 12 year experience report in a tertiary hospital.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined-therapy with ultrasound guided intrasacular injection of 50 mg of methotrexate (MTX) and a 50 mg/m dose of systemic MTX in uncomplicated ectopic pregnancies with ultrasonographic evidence of embryonic structures in the gestational sac.

Study Design: We designed a retrospective study including 60 patients to assess the efficacy of combined MTX treatment and to determine which clinical or ultrasonographic variables could be associated with successful medical treatment. Failed medical treatment was defined when surgery was needed.

Hemoptysis as the first symptom in the diagnosis of metastatic choriocarcinoma in the third trimester of pregnancy: A case report.

Introduction: Choriocarcinoma is a rare neoplasm (1/40000 pregnancies). In the context of a viable pregnancy, the incidence is even lower (1/160000).

Case Report: A woman in her second pregnancy was admitted at 31 + 6 weeks of gestation with hemoptysis and abnormal vaginal bleeding.
