Objective: To present a patient with prolongated postterm pregnancy.
Design: Case study.
Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Vyškov Hospital.
Case Report: According to the literature, pregnancy that exceeds 42+0 weeks is considered to be a postterm pregnancy. We present a case of a 21-year-old primigravid women with extremely prolongated postterm pregnancy and associated complications. The patient repeatedly rejects the proposed prostaglandin induction of labor or iterative cesarean section. Pregnancy was terminated by cesarean section at 43+3 due to multiple unsuccessful attempts to induce labor in postterm pregnancy. During the surgery abnormally invasive placenta was found with massive blood loss and necessity of subsequent ligation of aa. iliacae internae.
Conclusion: Pregnant women with postterm pregnancy should be offered the possibility of induction of labor. We should educate pregnant women in detail about the risks of postterm pregnancy.

Risk of adverse birth outcomes and birth defects among women living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy and HIV-negative women in Uganda, 2015-2021.
J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr

Introduction: We assessed the risk of adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes and birth defects among women living with HIV (WLHIV) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and HIV-negative women.
Methods: We analyzed data on live births, stillbirths, and spontaneous abortions during 2015-2021 from a hospital-based birth defects surveillance system in Kampala, Uganda. ART regimens were recorded from hospital records and maternal self-reports.

Purpose: To determine the reference values for the shock index (SI) in postpartum patients undergoing elective cesarean delivery with regional anesthesia.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted at our tertiary center between August 1, 2023, and March 1, 2024. We calculated the reference values for the SI within the first 48 h postpartum for patients who underwent elective cesarean delivery after the 34th week of gestation.

Background: An increasing number of childbearing-aged women have undergone bariatric surgery (BS). Although pregnancy outcomes generally improve after BS, concern remains over the impact of rapid weight loss and the catabolic state that occurs soon after BS. At least a 12-month surgery-to-conception time (SCT) is recommended, though the reasoning behind this has been questioned.

Am J Obstet Gynecol

Fetal Medicine Research Institute, King's College Hospital, London, UK.
Background: Previous studies demonstrated that placental dysfunction leads to intrapartum fetal distress, particularly when an abnormal pattern of angiogenic markers is demonstrated at 36 weeks of gestation. Prediction of intrapartum fetal compromise is particularly important in patients undergoing induction of labor due to different indications for delivery, as this can be a useful in optimizing the method and timing of the induction.
Objective: To examine whether the risk of preeclampsia assessed by the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) algorithm (derived from a combination of maternal risk factors, mean arterial pressure, placental growth factor and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1), associates with the risk of intrapartum fetal compromise requiring cesarean delivery, in a population of singleton pregnancies undergoing labor induction for various indications.

Department of Physiology, RAK College of Medical Sciences, RAKMHSU, Al Qusaidat, Ras Al Khaimah, UAE.
Background: Induction of labor (IOL) initiates labor artificially, aiming to prevent potential risks for both mother and fetus. However, data on IOL outcomes for parous women in the developing countries are scarce.
Objectives: This study evaluates maternal and neonatal outcomes in parous women undergoing IOL at a Sudanese hospital.
