Mode of birth in nulliparous term singleton pregnancies in vertex presentation before and after implementation of an evidence-based intervention: quality-improvement study.

Purpose: The main objective of this study was to assess the impact of a composite quality improvement intervention on mode of birth in nullipara term singleton vertex (NTSVs).

Material And Methods: This was an ambidirectional study following the implementation of the intervention to reduce cesarean section rate in NSTV by comparing two birth cohorts, pre-composite quality improvement intervention cohort (January 2013-December 2015) and post-composite quality improvement intervention cohort (January 2018-December 2020).

Results: In the studied periods, there was a total of 7713 NTSV births.

In Vitro Interactions of Amphiphilic Phosphorous Dendrons with Liposomes and Exosomes-Implications for Blood Viscosity Changes.

Drug delivery by dendron-based nanoparticles is widely studied due to their ability to encapsulate or bind different ligands. For medical purposes, it is necessary (even if not sufficient) for these nanostructures to be compatible with blood. We studied the interaction of amphiphilic dendrons with blood samples from healthy volunteers using standard laboratory methods and rheological measurements.

[Rupture of focal nodular hyperplasia in the 37th week of pregnanacy - case report].

Objective: We describe a case of spontaneous hepatic rupture associated with undiagnosed focal nodular hyperplasia of a patient in the third trimester of pregnancy. Additionally, we provide a brief review of literature.

Design: Case report.
