We report the case of a 28-year-old female patient (gravida 2, para 1) who underwent a cesarean section after 33 weeks of pregnancy due to severe preeclampsia. The placenta was deeply embedded in the myometrium. Localized myometrial ischemia occurred following repair and suturing of the myometrium at the placental attachment site.

Purpose: In the first of two companion papers, we comprehensively reviewed the recent evidence in the primary literature, which addressed the increased prevalence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, late-onset or term preeclampsia, fetal overgrowth, postterm birth, and placenta accreta in women conceiving by in vitro fertilization. The preponderance of evidence implicated frozen embryo transfer cycles and, specifically, those employing programmed endometrial preparations, in the higher risk for these adverse maternal and neonatal pregnancy outcomes. Based upon this critical appraisal of the primary literature, we formulate potential etiologies and suggest strategies for prevention in the second article.

Background: Postpartum necrotizing myositis is a rare condition, typically presenting as a complication after uterine artery embolization or uterine compression suturing. Uterine ischemia can cause endometrial necrosis and even myometrial necrosis, which can lead to systemic infection. If a systemic infection is not promptly and actively treated, it may pose significant risk.

Background: The mechanisms responsible for menstrual pain are poorly understood. However, dynamic, noninvasive pelvic imaging of menstrual pain sufferers could aid in identifying therapeutic targets and testing novel treatments.
Objective: To study the mechanisms responsible for menstrual pain, we analyzed ultrasonographic and complementary functional magnetic resonance imaging parameters in dysmenorrhea sufferers and pain-free controls under multiple conditions.
