Objective: This study aimed to evaluate prophylactic uterotonics, antifibrinolytic medications, and vasoconstrictive agents in the prevention of hemorrhage during second-trimester abortions.
Data Sources: PubMed, Embase (Elsevier platform), Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews (Ovid platform), and Web of Science were searched from database creation to October 30, 2023.
Study Eligibility Criteria: Randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, case-control studies, and case series evaluating pregnant individuals (between 13 0/7 and 27 6/7 weeks of gestation) who underwent dilation and evacuation and received prophylactic uterotonics (methylergonovine, carboprost, oxytocin, or misoprostol), antifibrinolytic medications (tranexamic acid), or vasoconstrictive agents (vasopressin, lidocaine with epinephrine) were included in the study.

Background: Although guidelines recommend intracoronary acetylcholine (ACh) and ergonovine (ER) provocation testing for diagnosis of vasospastic angina, the feasibility and safety of sequential (combined) use of both pharmacological agents during the same catheterization session remain unclear.
Objectives: In this study, we investigated the feasibility and safety of sequential intracoronary ACh and ER administration for coronary spasm provocation testing.
Methods: The study included 235 patients who showed positive results on ACh and ER provocation testing.

Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (eDKA) has emerged as an adverse event associated with sodium-glucose transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). We present two consecutive cases of SGLT2i-induced eDKA, both manifested as life-threatening coronary vasospastic angina (VSA). Case 1: A 64-year-old male overweight patient with type 2 diabetes (BMI 28.
