Uterine inversion refers to the condition where the fundus is turned inside and positioned within the uterine cavity. Uterine inversion is a life-threatening and uncommon obstetric emergency that can be fatal because of postpartum hemorrhage and shock. Acute uterine inversion is the most common type, which occurs within 24 h of delivery and is usually associated with untrained birth attendants and a lack of knowledge of labor-inducing drugs.

Puerperal inversion of uterus is a catastrophic and a rare complication, which occurs during the third stage of labour. It can lead to severe haemorrhage and shock which results in maternal morbidity and mortality. When diagnosed correctly, early cases can be managed by manual reposition, but neglected and late cases need surgery.

Severe postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a dangerous condition, characterized by rapid progression and poor prognosis. It remains the leading preventable cause of maternal death worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for severe PPH and establish a prediction model to identify severe PPH early, allowing for early intervention reduce maternal death.

Introduction: This is a case of a 32-year-old woman who developed postpartum depression (PPD). She became anxious and depressive about caring for her child, and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) test showed a score of 9 at 2 weeks after delivery, and at 7 months postpartum, she presented with major melancholic depression followed by mild cognitive decline without any neurological symptoms except cluttering speech.
Case Presentation: Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging showed confluent fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensities in the periventricular and frontal deep white matter, with multiple spotty calcifications in the frontal white matter by cerebral CT.

The objectives of this study were (i) to determine pH and electrolyte concentrations in MGS collected prepartum and at parturition, (ii) to characterize mare milk pH during the first week postpartum, and (iii) to evaluate pre-foaling MGS pH at three storage temperatures. This study outlined two hypotheses: (i) all mares exhibit acidic pH, increased calcium, magnesium, and potassium, and reduced sodium concentrations regardless of prepartum pH and electrolytes; (ii) pre-foaling MGS pH varies with storage temperature and time in an initial value-dependent manner. Twenty-three multiparous mares were monitored daily from 320 days of gestation until parturition.
