A caesarean section was performed on 30 cows before normal term and 16 to 20 hours after the induction of parturition with dexamethasone. During the surgical procedure, 20,000 U of bacterial collagenase was injected into the uterine artery of 15 of the cows. The average periods of retention of the fetal membranes were 40 hours in the treated cows and 114 hours in the control cows (P<0.001). At 36 hours after the surgery six of the treated cows (40 per cent) but all 15 of the control cows had retained fetal membranes. The collagenase-treated cows showed no abnormal clinical signs during the 10 days after the operation.

Postoperative symptom changes following uterine artery embolization for uterine fibroid based on FIGO classification.
CVIR Endovasc
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Graduate School of Medicine, Juntendo University, 2-1-1 Hongo Bunkyo-Ku, Tokyo, 113-8421, Japan.
Background: Classifying uterine fibroid using the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) classification system assists treatment decision-making and planning. This study aimed to study whether different fibroid locations influence clinical outcomes following uterine artery embolization (UAE).
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent UAE for symptomatic uterine fibroid between December 2016 and January 2023 at our hospital.
Independent risk factors for twin pregnancy adverse fetal outcomes before 28 gestational week by first trimester ultrasound screening.

Department of Ultrasound, Shanghai Changning Maternity and Infant Health Hospital, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200050, China.
Background: The incidence of multiple pregnancies has increased worldwide recently and women with a twin pregnancy are at higher risk of adverse outcomes compared with women with a singleton pregnancy. It is important to understand the risk factors for adverse fetal outcomes in twin pregnancy in order to guide clinical management.
Aim: To identify the independent risk factors, including maternal personal and family medical histories and first trimester ultrasound screening findings, for adverse fetal outcomes of twin pregnancy before 28 weeks of gestation.
Uterine preservation in pyomyoma complicating uterine artery embolisation.
BMJ Case Rep

Department of Radiology, All India Institute of Medical Science Bhopal, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Pyomyoma, a rare complication of uterine artery embolisation (UAE) for symptomatic fibroids, can closely mimic post-embolisation syndrome (PES), which typically presents with pain, fever and leucocytosis within the first week. Differentiating PES from pyomyoma is critical, as pyomyoma carries a higher risk of severe complications. We report a case of an unmarried nulliparous woman who developed pyomyoma following UAE for fibroids.

Introduction: The anterior division of the internal iliac artery (ADIIA) is a crucial vascular structure that supplies blood to the pelvic organs, perineum, and gluteal region. The present study demonstrates practical data concerning the anatomy of the ADIIA and its branches. It is hoped that the results of the current study may aid in localizing the pelvic arteries effectively.

Purpose: To quantify the separation between maternal blood cell-free (cf)DNA markers in preeclampsia and unaffected pregnancies and compare with existing markers. This approach has not been used in previous studies.
Methods: Comprehensive systematic literature search of PubMed to identify studies measuring total cfDNA, fetal cf(f)DNA or the fetal fraction (FF) in pregnant women.
