Recurrent Life-Threatening Gastrointestinal Bleeding From Primary Intestinal Choriocarcinoma: A Case Report.

Choriocarcinoma is a highly aggressive, malignant tumor that arises from trophoblastic cells. Although choriocarcinomas usually arise in the genital organs, they can also originate in extragenital organs, but gastrointestinal tract lesions are rare. Gastrointestinal choriocarcinoma can be primary or metastatic.

Randomized controlled trial comparing 400μg sublingual misoprostol versus placebo for prevention of primary postpartum hemorrhage.

Introduction: obstetric hemorrhage is estimated to cause 25% of all maternal deaths and is the leading direct cause of maternal mortality worldwide. The World Health Organization recommended the use of uterotonics that should be offered for all women who will give birth but in some countries or in special situations oxytocin is not available. The goal of this study is to determine whether the 400μg dose of Misoprostol decreases the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) of women who did not show signs of hemorrhage.
