Acquired inhibitors in factor XI deficiency (FXI) are rare. The presence of an inhibitor during pregnancy poses a potential haemorrhagic risk to the fetus. We report an uncomplicated pregnancy and successful childbirth by a woman with congenital FXI deficiency and an acquired inhibitor, and discuss the persistence of residual FXI activity in the presence of an inhibitor.

Risk factors associated with the failure of local methotrexate combined with minimally invasive surgery for late cesarean scar pregnancy.
BMC Pregnancy Childbirth
January 2025
Department of Gynecology, Shenyang Women's and Children's Hospital, No. 87 Renao Road, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, 110011, China.
Background: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors related to the failure of initial combined local methotrexate (MTX) treatment and minimally invasive surgery for late cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).
Methods: This retrospective case-control study was conducted between January 2016 and December 2023, involving patients with late CSP (≥ 8 weeks) who received local MTX injection combined with either hysteroscopic or laparoscopic surgery. Cesarean scar pregnancy was classified as type I, II, or III based on the direction of growth of the gestational sac and the residual myometrial thickness as assessed by ultrasound.
The Emerging Role of Sonoelastography in Pregnancy: Applications in Assessing Maternal and Fetal Health.
Diagnostics (Basel)

Radiology and Medical Imaging Department, College of Applied Medical Sciences, Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, Al-Kharj 16278, Saudi Arabia.
Sonoelastography, a novel ultrasound-based technique, is emerging as a valuable tool in prenatal diagnostics by quantifying tissue elasticity and stiffness in vivo. This narrative review explores the application of sonoelastography in assessing maternal and fetal health, with a focus on cervical, placental, pelvic floor, and fetal tissue evaluations. In the cervix, sonoelastography aids in predicting preterm birth and assessing labor induction success.

In recent decades, it has become apparent that during parturition events in a number of social mammals, social support behaviours from group mates can be directed to parturient females (and their newborn neonates). Such behaviour has been documented in diverse taxa, across non-human primates, , , and , living in a range of social group organisations, from matrilineal groups to cooperatively breeding groups and multi-male, multi-female groups. Since sociality, in association with parturition, has been demonstrated to confer several health benefits to human mothers and neonates, here, we also consider the potential adaptive significance of social support behaviours for other, non-human, social mammals.

Article Synopsis
- Monitoring gestation and predicting foaling dates in mares, especially in pasture-bred bucking horses, is complicated due to unknown breeding dates.
- A study developed a breed-specific scale that correlates fetal vitreous body length measured via transrectal ultrasonography with days before parturition (DBP) for bucking horses.
- The resulting curvilinear equation accurately predicts DBP based on fetal eye measurements, highlighting that previously used equations for small ponies do not apply accurately to bucking horse pregnancies.
Clinical application of airbag bionic midwifery technology in vaginal delivery of pregnancy with scarred uterus.

This was an original article, mainly explored the effect of applying airbag bionic midwifery technology in vaginal delivery of scarred uterus pregnancy. Sixty patients were chosen, and divided into an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG). The results showed that in contrast to the CG, the IG had shorter first, second and total stages of labor (P<0.
