Objective: This study was conducted to elucidate the predictive value of hematological indices, the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and mean platelet volume (MPV), to determine the clinical outcome of placental abruption in women regarding stillbirth.
Methods: This retrospective review of medical charts was performed in a tertiary center experienced for maternal, fetal, and neonatal care, including 89 pregnant women with placental abruption with or without stillbirth. The results of the hemogram tests with hematological indices, including the NLR, PLR, and MPV, which are the routinely obtained parameters both at admission and 4 h postoperatively, were correlated with other clinical parameters.
Results: The findings showed that although there were remarkable changes in some of the clinical features of women with placental abruption with or without stillbirth, in general, the study groups were found comparable regarding these variables. The values of NLR, PLR, and MPV in women with stillbirth presented remarkable changes when hemogram tests were used as pre-operative and post-operative laboratory examinations, although these changes did not correlate with each other meaningfully.
Conclusion: Stillbirth is one of the most important complications of placental abruption requiring rapid diagnosis and regular follow-up after its surgical management. To fine-tune emergent management of placental abruption in women with stillbirth, the indices of NLR, PLR, and MPV calculated at the first admission as well as during follow-up of the patients have clinical value as easily obtainable laboratory findings like other hematological parameters.

Subcapsular liver haematoma in pregnancy, a rare and life-threatening condition, is more commonly associated with severe preeclampsia and haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome. The common presenting symptom of subcapsular haematoma is acute-onset upper abdominal pain in patients suffering from preeclampsia; shock is the presenting feature in severe cases of rupture. Here we have discussed a case of subcapsular haematoma associated with HELLP syndrome in a patient who responded to conservative management.

Biallelic variants in GLDN have recently been associated with lethal congenital contracture syndrome 11 (LCCS11), a form of fetal akinesia deformation sequence (FADS) with high neonatal mortality. In this report, we describe five individuals from two Canadian Inuit families originating from different communities in Nunavik all affected with FADS and harboring a rare homozygous missense variant, [NM_181789.4:c.

Background: The study aims to investigate the application of surgical vaginoscopy via a no-touch hysteroscopic approach for the management of female genital polyps. The primary objective is to assess the feasibility of this technique in treating intrauterine pathologies in both pregnant and non-pregnant women.
Methods: A total of forty-six patients diagnosed with genital polyps underwent operative vaginoscopy at a university-affiliated hospital between April 1, 2017 and May 31, 2023.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to analyze the risk of maternal morbidity based on how pregnancies were achieved, focusing on various methods of medically assisted reproduction like fertility drugs, IUI, and ART.
- Data from Utah's birth certificates (2009-2017) showed that 4.8% of pregnancies were from assisted reproduction, with maternal morbidity defined by complications like blood transfusions and ICU admissions.
- Results indicated higher maternal morbidity risks for those using assisted reproduction, particularly with ART and autologous oocytes, although these risks decreased when controlling for factors like multiple pregnancies and existing health issues.
