Objective: To determine whether the indication of intrauterine balloon tamponade (IUBT) was associated with postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) outcomes.

Methods: Patients with PPH who underwent IUBT between January 2013 and November 2021 were included in a cohort study. PPH outcomes in patients who had IUBT for indications of uterine atony were compared to those who had IUBT for indications of placental site bleeding. PPH outcomes included uterine artery embolization (UAE) or hysterectomy after IUBT, estimated blood loss (EBL) after balloon placement, and blood transfusion. Statistical analysis was performed using multivariate logistic regression.

Results: IUBT was performed on 603 cases, with 121 (20.1%) undergoing it for placental site bleeding and 482 (79.9%) for uterine atony. In general, IUBT was a reliable treatment for PPH, but the specific efficacy varied depending on the indication for placement. After controlling for confounding variables, compared to the indication of uterine atony, the indication of placental site bleeding increased the risk of transfusion of ≥4 units of PRBCs (aOR 2.47, 95%CI 1.32-3.98), EBL ≥ 300 ml after IUBT (aOR 3.78, 95%CI 2.22-5.33), and UAE or hysterectomy (aOR 2.52, 95%CI 1.20-6.01), respectively. Other factors associated with adverse PPH outcomes were lower antenatal hemoglobin, higher IUBT volume, longer duration of IUBT and larger shock index values.

Conclusions: IUBT was less effective in treating PPH patients with indications of placental site bleeding than with indications of uterine atony. Follow-up monitoring of PPH patients with placental site bleeding should be intensified.

Introduction: The distribution of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and dendritic cells (DCs) in sponge trophoblast cells may contribute to the syncytialisation of trophoblast cells and the establishment of uterine placental circulation. Our previous series of studies have shown that MPO plays an important role in angiogenesis and repair, and placental vascular dysfunction can lead to serious pregnancy complications and even miscarriage.

Methods: Mouse model of MPO knockout was constructed, and the crosstalk between MPO and dendritic cells (DC) cells was investigated to determine whether MPO is involved in the pregnancy process.

We report the case of a 28-year-old female patient (gravida 2, para 1) who underwent a cesarean section after 33 weeks of pregnancy due to severe preeclampsia. The placenta was deeply embedded in the myometrium. Localized myometrial ischemia occurred following repair and suturing of the myometrium at the placental attachment site.

Purpose: Our primary objective was to characterize clinical and procedural factors affecting sample size in chorionic villus sampling (CVS).

Methods: This retrospective, single-site cohort study included singleton pregnancies undergoing transabdominal (TA) and transcervical (TC) CVS between 2020 and 2023. Prenatal and maternal data were obtained from the electronic medical record.

Background: Preeclampsia significantly impacts maternal and perinatal health. Early screening using advanced models and primary prevention with low-dose acetylsalicylic acid for high-risk populations is crucial to reduce the disease's incidence. This study assesses the feasibility of implementing preterm preeclampsia screening and prevention by leveraging information from our current aneuploidy screening program in a real-world setting with geographic separation clinical site and laboratory analysis site.

Human amniotic membrane (hAM) has been extensively used for several decades as a bioactive scaffold for regenerative medicine. In its cryopreserved form-one of the main storage formats-the presence of viable cells has often been questioned. Furthermore, there is little published evidence of the role of endogenous amniotic cells from cryopreserved hAM in tissue repair.
