Spontaneous uterine rupture and generalized peritonitis caused by pyometra occurs rarely with high morbidity and mortality. A correct and definite diagnosis can be made with laparotomy or laparoscopy. The clinical findings of perforated pyometra are similar to perforation of the gastrointestinal tract and gynecologic symptoms are less frequent, which makes preoperative diagnosis difficult. We report a case of a patient aged 82 years who underwent surgery for spontaneous uterine rupture and generalized peritonitis as a result of pyometra.

Upper Arm Deep Vein Thrombosis in a Patient with Active Lupus.
Eur J Case Rep Intern Med
December 2024
Radiology Department, Seychelles Hospital, Healthcare Agency, Victoria, Seychelles.
Unlabelled: Upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT) is relatively rare, and much less as an initial presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Primary UEDVT should be considered in individuals with unilateral arm swelling where the brachial, axillary, and subclavian veins are frequently involved. SLE is a chronic autoimmune disease that predominantly affects women of childbearing age and of African descent.

Matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9) is a secreted zinc-dependent peptidase known for extracellular remodeling. MMP9 is elevated in tissues from women experiencing preterm labor, and previous research has shown that the addition of combined matrix metallopeptidases 2 and 9 (MMP2/9) enhances uterine contractions. We hypothesized that adding MMP9 alone would enhance myometrial contractions and that specific MMP9 inhibition would suppress uterine contractions.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety, accuracy, and effectiveness of embryoscopy for the management of early abortion and to test the hypothesis that targeted embryo and chorionic villi sampling avoids maternal cell contamination (MCC) for genetic testing of products of conception (POC).
Methods: This ambispective study included 74 consecutive patients presenting with early abortion. Gestations between 5 and 9 weeks, obtained either spontaneously or through assisted reproductive technologies were included.
Pregnancy after Tompkins metroplasty for Robert's uterus.
BMJ Case Rep

Obstetrics and Gynaecology, South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Middlesbrough, UK
Two patients of early adolescence age presented with medically resistant primary dysmenorrhoea. Imaging (MRI scan) confirmed an asymmetric uterine septum with a unilaterally obstructed horn with haematometra. Laparotomy and Tompkins metroplasty was performed to unify the uterine cavity in each case, a technique not used for this condition before.

Early missed abortion is defined as a pregnancy of ≤ 12 weeks in which there is a cessation of life in the developing embryo or fetus, leading to its retention within the uterine cavity without being spontaneously expelled promptly. This condition is commonly observed and significantly impacts human reproductive health. This study aimed to identify key genes related to ferroptosis that could serve as novel biomarkers for early missed abortion.
