Objective: To compare maternal outcomes of abnormally invasive placenta in China in 2012, 2015, and 2018, and further examine the association between use of abdominal aortic balloon occlusion (AABO) and the risk of maternal outcomes.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis included 830 women diagnosed as abnormally invasive placenta from 5 tertiary care centers in China in 2012, 2015 and 2018. Participants were divided into AABO group and non-AABO group according to whether they were treated with AABO or not. Logistic regression models were used to assess the association of use of AABO with postpartum hemorrhage, blood transfusion, hysterectomy and repeated surgery.
Results: Among 830 participants, 66.0% (548/830) and 34.0% (282/830) of women were diagnosed with placenta increta and percreta, respectively; 33.3% (276/830) of women with abnormally invasive placenta were treated with AABO. In 2012, 2015, and 2018, the rate of blood transfusion was 83.1, 59.8, and 56.2%; the rate of hysterectomy was 50.8, 11.2, and 2.4%; and the rate of repeated surgery was 10.2, 9.4, and 0.9%. Use of AABO was associated with lower risk of postpartum hemorrhage (OR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.35-0.99), blood transfusion (OR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.52-0.99), hysterectomy (OR = 0.04, 95% CI: 0.01-0.14) and repeated surgery (OR = 0.14, 95% CI: 0.05-0.41) after adjustment for potential confounders.
Conclusion: The rates of blood transfusion, hysterectomy and repeated surgery progressively decreased from 2012 to 2018 in Chinese women with abnormally invasive placenta. Use of AABO was associated with lower risk of postpartum hemorrhage, blood transfusion, hysterectomy and repeated surgery.

Neurosyphilis-induced dementia represents a severe manifestation of tertiary syphilis, characterized by cognitive and neuropsychiatric impairments. This condition arises from the progression of syphilis to the central nervous system, where the spirochete causes damage through invasion, chronic inflammation, and neurodegeneration. The pathophysiology involves chronic inflammatory responses, direct bacterial damage, and proteinopathies.

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death for women worldwide, and early detection can help reduce the death rate. Infrared thermography has gained popularity as a non-invasive and rapid method for detecting this pathology and can be further enhanced by applying neural networks to extract spatial and even temporal data derived from breast thermographic images if they are acquired sequentially. In this study, we evaluated hybrid convolutional-recurrent neural network (CNN-RNN) models based on five state-of-the-art pre-trained CNN architectures coupled with three RNNs to discern tumor abnormalities in dynamic breast thermographic images.

Background: Unilateral pulmonary artery discontinuity (UPAD) is a rare fetal abnormality, for which a prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis remains challenging. We report a case of left pulmonary artery discontinuity in association with Taussig-Bing syndrome, which has rarely been reported in the literature thus far.
Case Presentation: A pregnant woman with a fetus with congenital heart disease (CHD) at 23 weeks gestation was referred to our center.

In preeclampsia, there occurs a defective trophoblastic invasion of spiral arteries, which is characterized by abnormal uterine artery wave parameter such as increased pulsatility index (PI) and early diastolic notch. This increased uterine artery PI is a good predictor of hypertensive disorder and small for gestational-age babies. Maternal hypertension and proteinuria resolve in the puerperium.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is emerging as a promising treatment for many diseases. This non-invasive approach uses photosensitizing agents and light to selectively destroy abnormal cells, providing a valuable alternative to traditional treatments. Scientists are investigating the use of PDT in various areas of the head, and their work is focused on a growing number of new discoveries and methods for treating cancer.
