Difficult fetal extraction in cesarean section: Number 8 - 2024.
Rev Bras Ginecol Obstet
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Difficult fetal extraction during cesarean sections is mainly caused by a deeply impacted fetal head and floating fetus presentation, with limited scientific evidence supporting various management techniques.
- Maternal complications from managing a deeply impacted fetal head include lacerations and hematomas, while neonates may suffer serious issues like hemorrhage, fractures, nerve injuries, and perinatal asphyxia.
- The abdominovaginal delivery method is linked to higher complications, while the internal podalic version followed by pelvic extraction is a distinct approach for floating fetal presentations.

Purpose: To compare the acute toxicities in radical treatment of prostate cancer between conventional schedule (C-ARM) with 78 Gy/39 fractions and hypofractionation conformal treatment (H-ARM) with 69 Gy/23 fractions.
Methods And Material: This prospective double arm study consisted of 217 patients with prostate cancer, 112 in H-ARM and 105 in C-ARM arm. C-ARM received conventional six- field conformal radiotherapy with 78 Gy in 39 fractions while H-ARM received hypofractionation with 69 Gy in 23 fractions.
Purpose: Exposure to diesel exhaust particles (DEP) results in lung inflammation. Regular aerobic exercise improves the inflammatory status in different pulmonary diseases. However, the effects of long-term aerobic exercise on the pulmonary response to DEP have not been investigated.

Methods: Between July 2001 and February 2003, 56 patients with cervical cancer FIGO stage I (n = 53) or stage II (n = 3) underwent sentinel lymph node detection with preoperative lymphoscintigraphy ((99m)Tc-labeled phytate injected into the uterine cervix, at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock, at a dose of 55-74 MBq in a volume of 0.8 ml) and intraoperative lymphatic mapping with a handheld gamma probe.
