Prelabor uterine rupture is a very rare complication of pregnancy that in most cases occurs when there is a history of uterine surgery. Maternal and neonatal morbidity is significant. Most often, the pregnancy must be terminated to rescue both the mother and the newborn, if possible. We report the case of a patient who had a pre-labor uterine rupture at 18 weeks of gestation (WG) complicated by massive hemoperitoneum. Emergency surgery with conservative management allowed the pregnancy to continue until 32+3 WG. In very rare situations of uterine rupture at a very early term, conservative management appears to be an acceptable solution to allow the pregnancy to continue until a sufficient gestational age to limit complications related to prematurity.

Uterine rupture is a rare but serious complication that predominantly occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy. It is exceptionally uncommon in the second trimester, particularly in the presence of uterine anomalies such as a bicornuate uterus or uterus didelphys. This case report presents a significant instance of second-trimester uterine rupture associated with a bicornuate uterus, resulting in a life-threatening intra-abdominal hemorrhage of approximately 4000 mL.

Cesarean section (CS) is highly prevalent surgery among females. However, current absorbable anti-adhesion membranes used clinically can partially prevent postoperative adhesions but show limited efficacy in tissue regeneration, leaving post-cesarean women at risk for severe complications including cesarean scar pregnancy, placenta previa, and uterine rupture. Herein, we designed a fully amniotic membrane (AM)-derived biomimetic nanostructural materials (AM-BNMs) as an anti-adhesion barrier, and validated its therapeutic efficacy in a rat CS model.

Objectives: During the COVID-19 pandemic, global health systems faced unprecedented challenges, as well as in maternal and neonatal health, thus this study aims to clarify the impacts of COVID-19 on maternal and neonatal disorders (MNDs), regional variations, and the role of economic support.
Methods: We have developed a counterfactual model integrating Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average and Long Short-Term Memory models to forecast the burden of MNDs from 2020 To et al., 2021, which was compared with the actual burden to quantify the specific impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on MNDs.

Objective: The aims of this study were to determine the incidence of macrosomic births over a 5-year period and to examine the childbirth complications for both mother and newborn.
Patients And Methods: During the study period there were a total of 16,126 deliveries, of which 1905 were macrosomic fetuses (defined as those with a birthweight of 4000 g or more). Data on the course of pregnancy and childbirth were collected from existing maternal and peripartum medical records.
