Objective: To assess the amniopatch procedure when premature rupture of membranes occurs after first-trimester chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
Study Design: From May 2001 to June 2004, the amniopatch procedure was offered in cases of premature rupture of membranes after CVS when severe oligohydramnios was present (largest vertical pocket < 2 cm) and persistent (more than 1 week).
Results: The amniopatch was placed in five pregnancies at 12-18 weeks of gestation, resulting in amniotic fluid restoration in all but one pregnancy. In three pregnancies, fetal demise was observed at 1, 2 and 36 days after the procedure. The last procedure resulted in a healthy newborn.
Conclusion: Although the amniopatch restored normal amniotic fluid levels in all cases, 4 of the 5 cases resulted in fetal demise.

Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh. Electronic address:
Background: Neonatal sepsis continues to be a leading cause of mortality among the NICU admitted neonates. The most common causative organisms have been proven to be hospital-acquired organisms.
Aims And Objectives: This study was planned with aim of understanding the pathological colonization of neonatal skin and associated risk factors as well as finding a possible correlation between blood culture isolates and neonatal skin colonizers and their antimicrobial resistance patterns.
Insufficient Labor Epidural Analgesia Due to Asymptomatic Sacral Perineural Cyst: A Case Report.

Department of Anesthesiology, Adachi Hospital, Kyoto, JPN.
Lumbar epidural anesthesia is widely used for labor epidural analgesia (LEA), but it often results in insufficient analgesia in the sacral region. We report a case where we performed LEA using lumbar epidural anesthesia, and an asymptomatic sacral perineural cyst was considered the potential cause of inadequate analgesia in the sacral region. A 33-year-old primigravida was admitted with premature rupture of membranes.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Galilee Medical Center, Nahariya, Israel; Azrieli Faculty of Medicine, Bar Ilan University, Safed, Israel.
Aim: Maternal colonization by Enterobacteriaceae that produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL-E) has risen, and the antimicrobial resistance of ESBL-E is significant. We aimed to evaluate the rates of ESBL-E colonization among women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and of maternal-neonatal vertical transmission. We also aimed to compare obstetrical and neonatal complications among ESBL-E positive versus negative maternal colonization in pregnancies complicated by PPROM.

Background: Existing literature supports the association between atypical phospholipid antibodies - anti-phosphatidylserine/prothrombin antibodies (aPS/PT) and adverse pregnancy outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between aPS/PT and premature rupture of membranes (PROM).
Methods: A retrospective cohort study analysis was conducted on 408 pregnant women who had experienced at least one unexplained miscarriage.
Conservation of the dehiscence zone gene regulatory network in dicots and the role of the SEEDSTICK ortholog of California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) in fruit development.

Background: Fruits, with their diverse shapes, colors, and flavors, represent a fascinating aspect of plant evolution and have played a significant role in human history and nutrition. Understanding the origins and evolutionary pathways of fruits offers valuable insights into plant diversity, ecological relationships, and the development of agricultural systems. Arabidopsis thaliana (Brassicaceae, core eudicot) and Eschscholzia californica (California poppy, Papaveraceae, sister group to core eudicots) both develop dry dehiscent fruits, with two valves separating explosively from the replum-like region upon maturation.
