Chitosan-covered tamponade for the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage: a registry-based cohort study assessing outcomes and risk factors for treatment failure.

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Intrauterine hemostatic devices are recommended when PPH does not respond to medical treatment. The objective of this study was to assess the factors leading to unsuccessful intrauterine therapy with a chitosan-covered tamponade (CT) for the treatment of PPH and to evaluate clinical outcomes based on real-world data.

"Optimal timing for RNA isolation: Recommendations for placenta sample collection under clinical conditions".

In placenta research, tissue quality is essential for following laboratory investigations. In clinical settings with deliveries as an unpredictable factor, delayed sampling or incorrect storage until sampling is a common problem. Therefore, we set out to define time points for different storage conditions where good tissue quality is still achievable.

Scar endometriosis, a form of abdominal wall endometriosis-a neglected obstetrical complication?

Background: Scar endometriosis (EM) is defined by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity within the scar region after abdominal or pelvic surgery. It is a form of abdominal wall EM. This systematic review addresses the question of whether women after cesarean delivery (CD) are more frequently affected by scar EM than women after other pelvic surgical procedures.
