Approaches to the Prevention and Treatment of Postpartum Hemorrhage: A Systematic Review of Past Advances, Recent Developments, and Best Practices.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, with uterine atony being the most significant contributing factor. Other risk factors for PPH include increased maternal age, coagulation abnormalities, retained placenta, and prolonged third-stage labor. Despite the potential for prevention through early detection and management, PPH can still occur even in the absence of known risk factors.

[Surveillance of echinococcosis in Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from 2017 to 2022].

Objective: To analyze the echinococcosis surveillance results in Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from 2017 to 2022, so as to provide insights into formulation of echinococcosis control measures in the prefecture.

Methods: Villagers were randomly sampled using a multistage sampling method from class I and II echinococcosis endemic counties in Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture from 2017 to 2022 for detection of human echinococcosis, while all patients undergoing ultrasound examinations in medical institutions in class III endemic counties received active echinococcosis screening. In addition, livestock in centralized slaughterhouses or slaughtering sites were screened for echinococcosis using the palpation and necropsy method, and fresh domestic dog feces samples were collected from randomly selected dog owners in each administrative village for detection of copro-antigen in domestic dogs.

Lateral Ridge Splitting (Expansion) With Immediate Placement of Endosseous Dental Implant Using Piezoelectric Device: A New Treatment Protocol.

Many treatment modalities have been introduced for correction of deficient alveolar ridge width. Bone expansion through the ridge split procedure is one of them. This technique was initiated in order to overcome many problems that usually associated with grafting procedures.

Transaortic Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation and Concomitant Off Pump Revascularization.

An increasing number of patients with severe aortic stenosis and concomitant critical coronary artery disease were referred to our hospital. Some of those patients were classified as high-risk patients qualifying for a transcatheter therapy with the additional need for coronary revascularization. As a consequence of their comorbidities, the established transapical as well as transfemoral approach were either not possible or not favored owing to the indispensable need for coronary revascularization.
