The placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) describes invasion and adherence of the placenta onto or beyond the myometrium. Prenatal imaging improves management outcomes. In low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), however, the unavailability of ultrasonography in some health facilities delays the diagnosis, particularly if the prenatal period is asymptomatic. Following vaginal delivery, it often manifests as failure to remove a retained placenta manually. In the absence of haemorrhage, expectant management involving leaving the placenta in situ, is an option. In the presence of haemorrhage and/or sepsis, hysterectomy is usually recommended. We present a case of an expectantly managed PAS following a spontaneous preterm vaginal birth. The patient developed puerperal uterine prolapse with the placenta in situ, a previously unreported complication, but this was successfully reduced manually.

Post-procedural fever after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). A multi-centric study.
Infez Med

Department of Experimental and Clinical Medicine, University of Florence, Florence, Italy.
Background: Fever following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) poses a clinical challenge, necessitating a comprehensive diagnostic approach to discern between infectious and non-infectious origins. Despite its minimally invasive nature, TAVI disrupts protective anatomical barriers, leading to an increased risk of infection, as well as to aseptic inflammatory responses. Standardized strategies for the management of these patients are lacking.

Background: The management of patients with concomitant gallbladder stones with silent CBDS still involves a wide range of debates, and there is little evidence regarding the recommendation of CBD clearance either before cholecystectomy or in the same session. In this study, we aimed to discuss the feasibility of performing LC with a wait-and-see strategy for patients with silent CBS.
Method: Patients with silent CBDS identified during preoperative examinations for gallbladder stones were studied for the feasibility of performing LC with a wait-and-see strategy for silent CBS.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and natural history of pediatric patients with a diagnosis of vascular ring.
Method: We retrospectively studied the records of 110 patients of pediatric age, from January 2014 to December 2022, with the following variables: age, clinical manifestations, associated cardiac lesions, diagnostic method and surgical approach.
Results: Of the total, 60 (55%) were female and 50 (45%) were male.
A Case of Postoperative Lymphatic Ascites in Endometrial Cancer Spontaneously Resolving After Approximately One Year of Watchful Waiting.

Postoperative lymphatic ascites following lymph node dissection for gynecologic malignancies is not uncommon, although in most cases it resolves spontaneously within two to three weeks, or at most within four months. We present the case of a 73-year-old woman who underwent total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection for endometrial cancer. She subsequently developed a large volume of ascites, which was diagnosed as lymphatic ascites based on biochemical analysis of the ascitic fluid, cytological examination, and CT findings.

Histological diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2) has traditionally been the cutoff for local surgical treatment, due to a substantial risk of cancer development. However, evidence from the past decade suggests 50-60% of CIN2 lesions spontaneously regress, and active surveillance (or conservative management-ie, leaving the lesion untreated) might be justified in some cases. Active surveillance of CIN2 lesions is now practised widely, although clear recommendations on eligibility, frequency of surveillance, threshold for treatment, and criteria for return to routine recall are insufficient in most countries.
