Background: Legally induced abortion is a safe procedure. However, hemorrhage is a significant cause of abortion-related morbidity and mortality. We describe a case in which a uterine tamponade balloon was successfully used to control a second-trimester postabortion hemorrhage.
Case: A gravida 1 para 0 woman underwent dilation and evacuation at 18 weeks of gestation for fetal aneuploidy. Her procedure was complicated by intraoperative hemorrhage not resulting from uterine atony. This was successfully managed by tamponade with a large intrauterine balloon.
Conclusion: Uterine balloon tamponade should be considered in the management of second-trimester postabortion hemorrhage unresponsive to medical therapy.

Stable pelvic floor muscle training improves urinary incontinence in women with gestational diabetes mellitus.
J Obstet Gynaecol
December 2024
Department of Nursing, Hangzhou Women's Hospital (Hangzhou Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital), Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common metabolic disease that contributes to urinary incontinence (UI) in pregnant women. The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic potential of stable pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training with transverse abdominal muscle for pregnancy-specific UI in patients with GDM.
Methods: This was a randomised controlled trial.
Aftercare following second trimester abortion procedures.
Curr Opin Obstet Gynecol
December 2024
Division of Family Planning Services and Research, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Palo Alto, California, USA.
Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to examine patient experiences following second-trimester abortion care to identify clinical interventions to improve aftercare.
Recent Findings: Early validation of a five-question Reproductive Grief Screen suggests that this instrument may be useful for clinicians to identify patients with maladaptive grief responses following a second-trimester abortion. Patients want to talk with their healthcare providers about grief following abortion and desire frequent mental health check-ins.
Qualitative Pilot Study: Longitudinal Perspectives From People Who Had Second Trimester Abortions for Fetal Anomaly.
WMJ
July 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, Wisconsin,
Background: We investigated patient experience with abortion for fetal anomaly, about which little is known.
Methods: This qualitative, longitudinal pilot study surveyed 7 patients twice after abortion for fetal anomaly, initially 4 to 5 days after the abortion and a follow-up 3 months post-abortion, at a single Wisconsin hospital from July 2012 to February 2014.
Results: Patients indicated that having a choice to have an abortion and choose the modality is imperative, and they remained certain in their decision-making over time.
Feasibility and effectiveness of a 6-month, home-based, resistance exercise delivered by a remote technological solution in healthy older adults.

December 2024
University of Verona, Department of Neurosciences, Biomedicine and Movement Sciences, 37131 Verona, Italy; University of Western Ontario, Research Associate Canadian Center for Activity and Ageing, ON N6A 3K7, London, Canada. Electronic address:
Background: Aging is characterized by a physiological decline in physical function, muscle mass, strength, and power. Home-based resistance training interventions have gained increasing attention from scientists and healthcare system operators, but their efficacy is yet to be fully determined.
Aims: to verify the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of a home-based resistance training program delivered by innovative technological solution in healthy older adults.

Medicine, Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, IND.
Article Synopsis
- Acute kidney injury (AKI) during pregnancy is a critical clinical issue linked to high maternal and fetal morbidity, necessitating a study of its causes, symptoms, and outcomes.
- A year-long prospective observational study at Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences involved 62 patients, primarily aged 18-25, who presented with emergency obstetric complications leading to acute kidney damage.
- The findings revealed that most patients experienced symptoms such as oliguria, fever, and breathlessness, with a significant portion being non-booked and primigravida.
