Objective: To evaluate the effect of postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUD) implantation on existing low contraceptive uptake and utilization in Nigeria.
Methods: A prospective analytical cohort study was conducted at eight medical facilities in southern Nigeria between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015. Patients undergoing delivery during the study period were considered for eligibility and the exclusion criteria included any contraindications to PPIUD implantation. Following counselling, participants underwent PPIUD insertion within either 10minutes (post-placental) or 48hours (immediate) of delivery, or at cesarean delivery. All participants were scheduled to attend 14-day and 6-week follow-up. The primary outcome measure was the PPIUD-uptake rate and secondary outcome measures included patient satisfaction and complication rates.
Results: There were 1061 deliveries recorded during the study period; 746 patients were offered PPIUDs, with 374 (50.1%) accepting and undergoing insertion. Immediate post-partum insertion was performed for 199 (53.2%) participants, with 169 (45.2%) and 6 (1.6%) undergoing post-placental and intra-cesarean insertion, respectively.
Conclusion: PPIUD was safe and acceptable to Nigerian women. Increasing the education of patients and training of healthcare providers is recommended to scale-up PPIUD use in Nigeria.

Introduction The association of acute pancreatitis with adverse obstetric outcomes remains subject to great controversy. Outcomes are affected by the standard of care available, and hence, will be better in developed countries than in underdeveloped countries like Pakistan. Therefore, this study aimed to understand the clinical characteristics and treatment of acute pancreatitis in pregnancy (APIP) and its associated maternal and neonatal outcomes in a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan.

Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of health issues in the offspring. Accordingly, recent Endocrine Society guidelines strongly support supplementation in pregnancy, also underlining that without consensus on optimal maternal vitamin D levels, routine screening is currently irrelevant. Knowledge of organ-specific effects of vitamin D and its association with maternal vitamin D status may aid to optimize vitamin D supplementation.

In this study, we aimed to reveal the trends of self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) and SMBP-derived indices during pregnancy and the postpartum period. The Babies and Their Parents Longitudinal Observation in Suzuki Memorial Hospital in the Intrauterine Period (BOSHI) Study is a prospective cohort study in Japan. Participants were instructed to measure SMBP daily during pregnancy and for 1 month after delivery.

Background: Isoproterenol (ISO) is a nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor agonist known for its vasodilatory effects. This experiment aims to investigate whether intrauterine ISO administration could alter vascular indices and follicular development in postpartum Holstein cows.
Objectives: The objectives are to evaluate the effects of intrauterine ISO administration on vascular changes and its impact on follicular development compared to placebo groups.

Importance: To decrease associated infectious and thrombotic morbidity, it is important to understand the indications and risks of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and other vascular access means in pregnancy.
Objectives: The objectives are 3-fold: (1) discuss indications and contraindications, approach to placement, and associated complications for PICC lines, arterial catheters, centrally inserted central catheters, and peripheral intravenous catheters; (2) review available data regarding complications associated with these catheters in pregnancy; and (3) propose an evidence-based approach to clinical decision making regarding vascular access in 2 clinical scenarios among pregnant patients.
Evidence Acquisition: A literature review identified relevant research, review articles, textbook chapters, databases, and societal guidelines, with a focus on obstetrical anesthesia and obstetric literature.
