In the present study, 6 out of 100 patients who had an attempted or actual external cephalic version (ECV) showed significant feto-maternal haemorrhage, the amount being greatest in patients with "failed" external versions. Thus ECV may be a source of rhesus iso-immunization in a rhesus negative mother with a rhesus positive fetus and should not be performed unless the father is a rhesus negative. If, however, an ECV has been attempted, fetal cell counts should then be made and rhesus immunoprophylaxis administered if necessary.

Hemolytic disease of fetus and newborn due to maternal AlloAnti-S antibody.
Asian J Transfus Sci

Department of Transfusion Medicine, Saveetha Medical College and Hospitals, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
Hemolytic disease of foetus and newborn (HDFN) is a disease characterized by the destruction of fetal red cells by the maternal antibodies which occurs due to allo immunization in the mother by feto-maternal blood group incompatibility. The antibodies most frequently implicated in HDFN may vary depending on the demographic location under consideration. In areas where RhIg administration is available, ABO antibodies are more commonly implicated.

Background: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorder is a fatal condition responsible for obstetric haemorrhage, which contributes to increased feto-maternal morbidity and mortality. The main contributing factor is a scarred uterus, often from a previous cesarean delivery, myomectomy, or uterine instrumentation. The occurrence of PAS in an unscarred uterus is extremely rare, with only anecdotal cases reported so far in the literature.

Catholic University of Sacred Heart, Department of Women and Child Health, Fondazione Policlinico Gemelli IRCCS, Rome, Italy. Electronic address:
Background: Occiput posterior position is associated with labor arrest, need for operative delivery, and failed instrumental vaginal delivery, with resulting adverse peripartum outcomes. Vacuum extraction is the most commonly performed type of instrumental delivery worldwide.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the outcome of vacuum extraction in fetuses with sonographically confirmed occiput posterior position before the procedure.

Background: Thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy can adversely impact maternal and fetal outcomes. However, the association between thyroid status and specific adverse outcomes needs clarity, especially in understudied regions.
Objective: This prospective cohort study aimed to illuminate the multifaceted associations between maternal thyroid dysfunction and feto-maternal outcomes in Gujarat, India.
Foxp3 + Treg-derived IL-10 promotes colorectal cancer-derived lung metastasis.

Section of Molecular Immunology and Gastroenterology, I. Department of Medicine, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, 20246, Hamburg, Germany.
The lung is one of the most frequently metastasized organs from various cancer entities, especially colorectal cancer (CRC). The occurrence of lung metastasis correlates with worse prognosis in CRC patients. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of IL-10 in lung metastasis development and identify the cellular source and target cells of IL-10 during lung metastatic establishment.
