Background: Pregnancy induces significant physiological and metabolic changes in the mother to support fetal growth and prepare for childbirth. These adaptations impact various systems, including immune tolerance, metabolism, and endocrine function. While metabolomics has been utilized to study pregnancy-related metabolic changes, comprehensive comparisons between pregnant and non-pregnant states, particularly using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS), remain limited.

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading preventable causes of maternal morbidity and mortality causing one-fourth of all maternal deaths. We aimed to study the role of uterine artery embolization (UAE) in controlling PPH and its impact on the need for hysterectomy.
Methods: We studied patients who were diagnosed with primary PPH between February 2012 and March 2020 at Al Ain Hospital, United Arab Emirates.

Objective: Maternal sepsis continues to be a maternal health problem associated with 75,000 deaths per year worldwide, representing a greater burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Although the Shock Index (SI) has been widely studied in postpartum hemorrhage and in non-obstetric populations, it has not yet been widely studied in sepsis. We aimed to identify the relationship between Shock Index and suspected sepsis in pregnant and postpartum patients to explore the use of Shock index in the context of maternal sepsis and its relationship with sepsis-related outcomes.
