Choriocarcinoma is a malignant gestational trophoblastic neoplasm with rare postpartum presentation. Its manifestation after full term delivery is very rare with paucity of data reported from Pakistan. We received a patient in the postpartum period with symptoms of distant metastasis. She was diagnosed with choriocarcinoma based on our workup and was referred for chemotherapy after management. Now she is receiving follow-up care.

December 2024
Department of Urology, School of Medicine, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, United States.
Purpose: To characterize trends in vasectomy utilization, delivery, and failure in a large administrative database.
Materials And Methods: We utilized the Merative MarketScan® (2007-2021) Commercial Database to identify vasectomized men. Vasectomy failure (VF) was defined as documented pregnancy ≥6 months post-procedure.
Comparative efficacy and safety of pulmonary surfactant delivery strategies in neonatal RDS: a network meta-analysis.
BMC Pulm Med
December 2024
Department of Neonatology, Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, 400,014, China.
Purpose: To compare five pulmonary surfactant (PS) administration strategies for neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), including intubation-surfactant-extubation (InSurE), thin catheter administration, laryngeal mask airway (LMA), surfactant nebulization (SN), and usual care, with a particular emphasis on the comparison of the LMA and SN with other strategies.
Methods: We conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, PUBMED, and Cochrane CENTRAL databases up to November 2023. Two authors independently conducted data extraction, and assessed bias using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool.

Puerperal inversion of uterus is a catastrophic and a rare complication, which occurs during the third stage of labour. It can lead to severe haemorrhage and shock which results in maternal morbidity and mortality. When diagnosed correctly, early cases can be managed by manual reposition, but neglected and late cases need surgery.

Eur J Med Chem
December 2024
CERES BRAIN Therapeutics, Paris, France. Electronic address:
Dodecyl creatine ester (DCE) is a creatine prodrug currently developed for brain diseases, including creatine transporter deficiency (CTD), an incurable rare genetic disease. A dual strategy combining a prodrug to bypass the non-functional creatine transporter and its delivery via the nose-to-brain pathway has been proposed to replenish creatine levels in cerebral cells, particularly in neurons of CTD patients. In vitro and in vivo studies in various animal models, including wild-type non-human primates and creatine transporter deficient mice, show that formulated DCE, when administered intranasally, achieves significant cerebral distribution up to the target cells, the neurons, and modulates the expression of neuronal markers related to cognitive function at doses intended for patients.
