AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to compare blood loss during caesarean sections when the placenta is extracted from exteriorized versus non-exteriorized uteri.
  • In total, 98 women were randomly assigned to each method, with results showing a higher incidence of blood loss ≥500ml in the non-exteriorized group (P<0.001).
  • While the exteriorized group experienced less mean estimated blood loss (54.1mL lower), no significant differences were found in overall blood loss, surgery duration, or changes in hemoglobin levels between the groups.

Article Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of placenta extraction from exteriorized uterus versus placenta extraction from non- exteriorized uterus on blood loss during caesarean section (CS). It was a randomized control study in which 98 women undergoing caesarean section were allocated randomly to either the placental delivery from exteriorized uterus or placental delivery from non-exteriorized uterus. The main outcome measure was intraoperative blood loss, and Intention to treat analysis was used. More participants in the non-exteriorized placenta removal group had blood loss ≥500mls (P-value <0.001). Logistic regression showed about 5times likelihood of having blood loss of 500mls or more in the non-exteriorized group (P< 0.001; OR: 5.67; 95%CI: 2.38-13.40). The mean estimated blood loss was 54.1mL less in exteriorized placenta removal group (476.12±160.86 versus 530.20±145.18; P-value = 0.084). The mean changes in haemoglobin concentration in exteriorized and non-exteriorized groups were 0.68±0.19g/dL and 0.74±0.20g/dL; P = 0.131) respectively. This study showed statistically significant difference in blood loss of 500mls or more in the placenta delivery from non-exteriorized compared to the exteriorized group. However, there was no significant difference in the mean blood loss, duration of surgery, and change in haemoglobin between the two groups.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Ahmed glaucoma valve in pediatric patients with refractory glaucoma.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple major databases, including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library of Systematic Reviews, Science Direct, China's National Knowledge Infrastructure, and the Wanfang database. We retrieved studies published before December 2022 that met the inclusion criteria, including clinical controlled trials (randomized controlled trials) and clinical noncontrolled trials (non-randomized controlled trials) on the use of Ahmed glaucoma valve in pediatric patients with refractory glaucoma.

Objective: This study aims to analyze anatomical parameters of the transmission route of sigmoid sinus tinnitus (SST) to explore its mechanism and speculate on possible responsible anatomical abnormalities.

Methods: Clinical data were retrospectively collected from SST and sigmoid sinus wall dehiscence (SSWD) patients suggested by temporal bone high resolution computed tomography (HRCT), with and without tinnitus, at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2015 to August 2022. Patients were divided into SSWD tinnitus ( = 61), and non-tinnitus ( = 60) groups based on HRCT features.

Objective: To explore the risk factors for the reactivate of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) after intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and to construct a nomogram model to predict the risk of ROP reactivate.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 185 ROP children who underwent anti-VEGF treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to October 2023. They were randomly divided into a training set (129 cases) and a validation set (56 cases) at a ratio of 7:3.

Hemorrhoidal disease: what role can rectal artery embolization play?

Front Surg

January 2025

Interventional Radiology Section, Department of Medical Imaging, University Hospital Timone, APHM, Marseille, France.

Introduction: Hemorrhoidal artery embolization, also known as Emborrhoid, has emerged in recent years as a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with recurrent and unresponsive to medical therapies hemorrhoidal bleeding symptoms. We present here an overview of the profile of rectal artery embolization based on the most relevant and recent literature.

Methods: A comprehensive review of literature on Hemorrhoidal artery embolization, was conducted on PubMed-Medline.

Background: Currently, there is no clear standard for the surgical options for Evans-Jensen Type IV intertrochanteric femur fractures in elderly patients over 65 years old. This study aims to retrospectively analyze and compare the early postoperative limb function and quality of life of patients treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) and proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) for this type of fracture. We hypothesize that there is no significant difference in complications and postoperative recovery between the two surgical methods.
