Coagulation increases during pregnancy and peaks during parturition. We hypothesized that an increase in microparticle (MP) levels in plasma occurs around the time of placental separation and subsides over several hours. We performed a prospective observational pilot study to investigate plasma MP levels in healthy parturients immediately before and after cesarean delivery. The primary outcome was MP levels at postdelivery time points compared to baseline levels. Samples underwent flow cytometry and staining to determine MP levels. Placental-derived MPs were further characterized for the presence of procoagulant proteins. Placental-derived MPs increased immediately after delivery before returning to baseline in healthy parturients.

Department of Radiology, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, China.
Background: Bladder injury during cesarean delivery (CD) in pregnant women with severe placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders mostly occurs in the dissection of vesico-uterine space. Placental MRI may help to assess the risk of bladder injury preoperatively.
Purpose: To identify the high-risk MRI signs of bladder injury during CD in women with severe PAS.

Fetal limb anomaly presentation varies greatly. It can present as amelia (complete absence of skeletal part of one or more limb), meromelia (partial absence of skeletal part of one or more limb), phocomelia (only rudimentary limb formed), and minor limb disorders like polydactyly. The complete absence of the four fetal limbs is extremely rare.

Cutaneous endometriosis is a rare manifestation of endometriosis, and few reports on its dermoscopic features have been published. In this case report, we present a 40-year-old female with cutaneous endometriosis arising in a caesarean scar, exhibiting unique and distinct dermoscopic features. The patient presented with a nodular, papillomatous growth in the right end of the scar, and dermoscopic examination revealed structureless red papillomatous projections, as well as nonpapillomatous areas with red dotted vessels surrounded by a white reticular network.

This randomized controlled intervention study aims to determine the effect of an abdominal binder on pain, bleeding, and breastfeeding success after cesarean delivery. The study was conducted with women who underwent cesarean section and were followed-up for the first 48 hours at the obstetrics clinic of a state hospital in Türkiye between September 2020-March 2021. The study was completed with a total of 128 women who met the inclusion criteria (Intervention (IG):64, Control (CG):64).

Data on pregnancy outcomes in patients with alopecia areata (AA) are limited. The aim of this study is to determine the association between maternal AA and risk of adverse birth outcomes in children. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 45,328 children born to mothers with AA and 4,703,253 controls born to mothers without AA using the Korean National Health Insurance Claims database from 2002 to 2016.
