Background: This study examines the effect of intrauterine haematomas (IUH) discovered during early pregnancy ultrasound scanning in patients with recurrent miscarriage. Previous studies of IUHs have reported conflicting findings, and none studied women with recurrent miscarriage.
Methods: A total of 341 women with a viable pregnancy was included. Women with an IUH (n = 41) were compared with those without (n = 300).
Results: An IUH was identified by ultrasound in 12% (41/341) women. There were no differences in the number of live births between the two groups (25/41, 61% in the IUH group compared with 169/300, 56% without an IUH) or the number of miscarriages (6/41, 15% with an IUH compared with 72/300, 24% without an IUH). Anti-phospholipid antibodies were more common in the IUH group (21/31, 68% compared with 103/244, 42% P < 0.01). More women with haematomas experienced vaginal bleeding (16/31, 52% compared with 47/244, 19%, P < 0.01). These associations did not affect pregnancy outcome. Also, no increase in the rate of pregnancy complications was observed in the IUH group.
Conclusions: The presence of an IUH in this potentially high risk patient group does not have a deleterious effect on pregnancy outcome.

Development of reed-based cellulose aerogel: a sustainable solution for crude oil spill clean-up.
R Soc Open Sci
January 2025
Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City (IUH), Ho Chi Minh 71420, Vietnam.
This study focused on fabricating a cellulose aerogel for oil spill clean-up, using common reed () as the cellulose source. The process involved isolating cellulose from reed via traditional Kraft pulping, considering the effects of key factors on the isolated cellulose content. After a two-stage HP bleaching sequence, the highest cellulose content achieved was 27.

Obstetrics and Gynecology, Gunma University Hospital, Maebashi, JPN.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the efficacy of continuous oxytocin administration after completion of routine oxytocin administration during the third stage of labor in patients with twin pregnancies delivered via cesarean delivery (CD).
Methods: This retrospective case-control study was conducted between April 2014 and March 2024, and it included 156 women with twin pregnancies. The oxytocin group included patients who were administered continuous oxytocin 2 IU/h until 24 hours after delivery after completion of oxytocin 5 IU intravenous injection immediately after delivery as the routine procedure.
Implementing Goals of Care Notes in a Statewide Health System: A Quality Improvement Initiative.
Am J Med
December 2024
IUH Department of Palliative Care, Indiana University Health, Indianapolis, IN; Division of General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN; Indiana University Center for Ageing Research, Regenstreif Institute, Indianapolis, IN.
Background: Goals of care (GOC) documentation for seriously ill patients is integral to patient-centered care but not standardized. Collaborative efforts within the health system to improve the frequency and documentation of GOC to communicate patient preferences and values are essential to ensure both quality of life and quality of death.
Measures: We created a standard GOC note type and location in the electronic medical record for a large, statewide health system in the Midwest.
Post-Intensive Care Syndrome Family.
Crit Care Clin
January 2025
Department of Psychiatry, Indiana University School of Medicine, IUH Goodman Hall, 355 West 16th Street, Box 4100, Indianapolis, IN 46202, USA. Electronic address:
Family members of patients admitted to intensive care units often experience psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms, known as post-intensive care syndrome-family (PICS-F), due to the stress from having a critically ill loved one and resultant caregiver burden. Awareness of this syndrome is needed, as are prevention and management strategies, to improve outcomes.
