We present a rare case of uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (UAP) following an emergency cesarean section, which led to severe vaginal bleeding and subcutaneous hematoma. The patient, a 40-year-old woman with no history of hemophilia or hemostasis disorders, presented with sudden profuse vaginal bleeding and multiple subcutaneous hematomas at the site of the cesarean scar ten days postoperation. Ultrasound and CT scan confirmed the presence of a pseudoaneurysm in the right uterine artery. Due to the unavailability of radiological embolization, surgical ligation of the right internal iliac artery was performed. Postoperative follow-up showed successful resolution of the pseudoaneurysm and cessation of bleeding. This case highlights the importance of considering UAP in the differential diagnosis of postpartum hemorrhage and demonstrates the efficacy of surgical intervention when embolization is not available.

Objective: To comparatively evaluate the effectiveness of uterine artery embolization (UAE), focused ultrasound (HIFU), radiofrequency ablation (RFT), and laparoscopic/laparotomic surgery in the conservative treatment of uterine fibroids DATA SOURCES: The research was performed via electronic databases PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library, using the PRISMA standards.
Methods Of Study Selection: The network included 10 randomized trials between 2000 and 2024 and 1002 randomized subjects.
Tabulation: The Network meta-analysis (NMA) was carried out with subroutine netmeta on R.

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is associated with recurrent pregnancy morbidity, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. We performed multifaceted characterization of the biological and transcriptomic signatures of mouse placenta and uterine natural killer (uNK) cells in APS. Histological analysis of APS placentas unveiled placental abnormalities, including disturbed angiogenesis, occasional necrotic areas, fibrin deposition, and nucleated red blood cell enrichment.

Introduction: The persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly that arises when the embryonic axial artery fails to regress, potentially leading to serious complications such as limb ischemia.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 47-year-old woman with a history of essential hypertension and recent hormonal treatment for uterine fibroids. She developed acute limb ischemia due to bilateral PSA thrombosis, which was confirmed through comprehensive imaging.

Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an important factor contributing to infertility in reproductive-aged women. Hyperandrogenism (HA) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PCOS. This study was conducted to explore the follicular development and endometrial receptivity of different androgen phenotypes in reproductive-aged patients with PCOS.

In preeclampsia, there occurs a defective trophoblastic invasion of spiral arteries, which is characterized by abnormal uterine artery wave parameter such as increased pulsatility index (PI) and early diastolic notch. This increased uterine artery PI is a good predictor of hypertensive disorder and small for gestational-age babies. Maternal hypertension and proteinuria resolve in the puerperium.
