Published: August 2010

Introduction: The massive world-wide development of assisted reproduction (AR) technology and marked increase of females with infertility treatment lead to different medical complications. One of them is ovarian hyperstimulatory syndrome (OHSS), potential fatal complication in AR. It demonstrates with abdominal discomfort, nauzea, vomitus, ascites, and general alteration. It can imitate an acute abdomen syndrome, and it can lead to the primary surgical assessment.

Aim: The description of OHSS as a cause of an acute abdomen syndrome.

Methods: Authors present a case of OHSS with the symptomatology of acute abdomen, which was handled by surgeon, primarily.

Conclusion: Consistent patient history, including gynecological history, and careful physical and laboratory examinations with relevant imaging methods lead to the elimination of invasive procedures. OHSS is the most actual in differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in fertile females for that reasons.

Clinicians should suspect ureteric injury in post-partum patients with free pelvic fluid.

Acute mortality is often associated with hemorrhage, whereas delayed mortality is most often associated with sepsis and multiple organ failure. We report a case of Wang's classification of type II open pelvic ring fracture with hemorrhagic shock and septic shock from gas gangrene.

Adrenal haemorrhage in pregnancy is rare but can lead to significant maternal and foetal morbidity if unrecognised. We present the case of a 25-year-old woman in her second pregnancy, who was admitted at 34+4 weeks of gestation with severe abdominal pain. Despite initial unremarkable assessments, further imaging revealed a left adrenal haemorrhage, with evidence of prior right adrenal infarction, resulting in primary adrenal insufficiency.

Objective: Patients with osteosarcoma (OS) exhibit metastasis upon diagnosis, and the condition frequently acquires resistance to traditional chemotherapy treatments, failing the therapy. The objective of this research was to examine the impact of curculigoside (Cur), a key phenolic compound discovered in the rhizome of C. orchioides Gaertn, on OS cells and the surrounding tumor environment.
