Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains a significant contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. In India, PPH affects approximately 12% of women. The prevention and management of PPH are the significant challenges in obstetrics, with accurate assessment of blood loss and timely intervention being critical. Active Management of the Third Stage of Labor is a gold standard strategy for prevention. Recent advancements in PPH management include the use of recombinant activated factor VIIa, which has shown promise in decreasing the need for invasive procedures and second-line therapies. Additionally, surgical and radiological interventions have been effective in cases of refractory PPH. Overall, ongoing research and advancements in PPH management continue to enhance the quality of care and maternal outcomes experiencing this potentially life-threatening complication of childbirth. This editorial explores prevention and management of Atonic PPH with encompassing medical and surgical strategies, to enhance understanding and optimize clinical care for mothers at risk of this obstetric emergency.

FRAX, a risk calculator that provides individualized 10-year probabilities of hip and major osteoporotic fracture, has been widely used for fracture risk assessment since its launch in 2008. It is now incorporated into very many guidelines worldwide to inform osteoporosis management. In this review, we explore the development of FRAX and how it enhances fracture risk prediction as compared to use of bone mineral density alone, as well as approaches to utilizing FRAX in determining intervention and assessment thresholds.

Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of mortality in Mexico as well as the rest of the world, with dyslipidemia being one of the main risk factors. Despite the importance of its epidemiological impact, there is still -among primary care physicians- a lack of knowledge ranging from the basic concepts for diagnosis to the most recent recommendations for treatment. This document consisting of 10 questions is done by experts in this field.

Background: External ventricular drains (EVDs) provide an invaluable diagnostic method for accessing cerebrospinal fluid and therapeutically treating elevated intracranial pressure. Although complications including hemorrhage and infection have been well documented, the formation of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms following EVD placement has rarely been reported. The authors present a case of this exceedingly rare complication of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm formation following EVD placement.
