AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of using an intrauterine hydrostatic condom to manage obstetric hemorrhage in patients who didn't respond to medical treatments.
- Conducted in a rural facility between March and August 2015, out of 955 vaginal delivery patients, 40 required this method, with a small success rate of 95% and minimal complications.
- The findings suggest that this method is an effective intervention for controlling postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony, highlighting its potential in emergency situations.
Article Abstract
Objective: To report of experience of intrauterine hydrostatic condom to control obstetric hemorrhage.
Material And Method: Descriptive, retro-prospective study. The method was use in patients who had obstetric hemorrhage and do not responded to medical management during the period from March 1st to August27, 2015 in a rural facility.
Results: 955 patients that had a vaginal delivery were identified, 40 (4.1%) of which needed the application of the method. The method was unsuccessful in 2 of 40 patients (5%), one requiring emergency obstetric hysterectomy and other exploratory laparotomy with conservative measures. 11 of 40 patients (2 7.5%) required at least 1-3 globular packs transfusion. None of the 38 patients (95%) who responded to the method presented endometritis in the postpartum follow up or complications associated with the use of hydrostatic condom.
Conclusion: The use of intrauterine hydrostatic condom is an effective method to control postpartum obstetric hemorrhage secondary to uterine atony unresponsive to medical management.

Maternal floor infarction associated with oligohydramnios and cystic renal dysplasia: report of 2 cases.

Maternal floor infarction (MFI) is an unusual, idiopathic placental disorder characterized by deposition of amorphous fibrinoid material along the maternal aspect of the intervillous space. This condition is associated with poor perinatal outcome-in particular, spontaneous abortion-fetal growth restriction, and stillbirth, with a high recurrence rate in subsequent pregnancies. It is unknown whether MFI is a single entity or the common end point of different insults.

Underlying the ubiquitous container-content relation, they give a new and effective approach of the morphogenetic process.

Aim: To investigate the relation between intrauterine pressures and volumes for virtual-reality-based surgical training in hysteroscopy.
Material And Methods: Ten fresh extirpated uteri were insufflated by commercial hysteroscopy pump and imaged by computer tomography (CT) under intrauterine air pressure in distension-collapse cycles between 0 , 20 (150 mmHg), and 0 kPa, performing a CT scan at every step at about 2.7 kPa (20 mmHg).
Regulation of transplacental water transfer: the role of fetoplacental venous tone.

We used the in vitro dually perfused human placental lobule to test the hypothesis that known vasoconstrictors of the fetal placental circulation, angiotensin II and the thromboxane mimetic U46619 could induce fetomaternal water transfer. Secondly, we used a combination of vasoconstrictor and mechanically induced increases in fetal placental circulatory pressure to examine the role of the venous system in this context. Fetal-side administration of angiotensin II (A-II) and U46619 (n=6 and n=9, for A-II and U46619, respectively) induced dose dependent, recoverable elevations in fetal inflow hydrostatic pressure (HP; A-II: maximum contractility=83 mmHg, EC50=22.
