Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of vacuum-induced intrauterine balloon tamponade (vIBT) using the modified Bakri system in a clinical setting.
Materials And Methods: This single-center observational study included women who had undergone vIBT for primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Vacuum induction at 60 kPa in the uterus was continued for 1 h with 50-100 ml saline, and the balloon was promptly removed after the protocol was completed.
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 272 twin pairs, the survival rates were very high, with 98% of at least one twin surviving and 85% for both, while 93% of recipient twins and 90% of donor twins survived.
- * The research identifies preoperative anemia-polycythemia sequence and arterio-arterial vascular anastomosis (AAA) as significant risk factors for mortality in donor twins after FLP, although the exact mechanisms of AAA need further investigation.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of various magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pelvimetric parameters for predicting emergent cesarean delivery due to obstructed labor.
Study Design: This was a prospective observational study. MRI pelvimetry was performed in cases of a clinically suspected maternal narrow pelvis, maternal short stature, fetal overgrowth, and abnormal placental position.
Background: 5p deletion syndrome is known as cri-du-chat syndrome, but there are no reports on congenital diaphragmatic hernia complications associated with it.
Case Presentation: A 28-year-old primigravida Japanese woman was referred for 5 mm of nuchal translucency. Fetal growth restriction was found at 20 weeks, and a left-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia was diagnosed at 24 weeks.
