INTRODUCTION: The occurrence of orthopedic injuries during pregnancy carries considerable morbidity and mortality for both the mother and fetus. Successful care of lower limb fractures during pregnancy requires a multidisciplinary approach. Both operative and non-operative treatments must be taken into account by the treating orthopedic physician. There is limited literature available on the management of these lower limb fractures in pregnancy, and peri-operative management of this obstetric and orthopedic trauma is largely unclear...

Pyomyoma, a rare complication of a myoma undergoing infarction and subsequent infection, may be a diagnostic challenge in patients with unexplained puerperal fever. A woman in her 30s presented with fever and foul-smelling discharge per vaginum, 6 months after her first caesarean section (CS). She underwent an elective CS for symptomatic placenta praevia at 34 weeks of gestation. Intra-operatively, post-partum haemorrhage was managed with uterotonics and blood transfusions. However, 2 weeks later, she developed a high-grade fever that was non-responsive to parenteral antibiotics...

The close relationship between the microbiota and allergic diseases has been known for several years, particularly food allergy. Although the best studied microbiota is that related to bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi are also constituents of this, although their role is not definitively clarified. The microbial world interacts with the human body constantly, we are in daily contact with an infinite and innumerable number of varieties of microbes in our environment, some of them can pass through the body without causing any harm, while others generate undesirable risk for the body...

The uterine environment provides necessary conditions for the existence of endometrial microbiota, which in turn plays an important role in maintaining the homeostasis of the uterine environment. The endometrial microbiome is highly susceptible to external factors such as age, hormones, menstrual, pregnancy, etc. When the microbiota is imbalanced, it will further promote the occurrence of uterine diseases such as endometritis and endometrial cancer. Regulating the microbiome of the endometrium is of positive significance for promoting uterine health...

An intrauterine infection during the first trimester of pregnancy can rapidly lead to bacteremia, with severe consequences for the patient. While these infections are mainly found after a miscarriage or an abortion, the diagnosis is sometimes made while the pregnancy is still in progress. The clinical history and symptoms reported by the patient lead to the suspicion of such a complication. Treatment must be rapid and based on a broad-spectrum antibiotic regimen covering Gram-negative, Gram-positive, aerobic and anaerobic bacteria...

Infectious endometritis is considered one of the major causes of infertility and it can affect up to 60% of barren mares. It is characterized by the presence of one or more microorganisms in the reproductive tract and it is treated with the administration of antibiotics, ecbolic agents and uterine lavages. Ozone, thanks to its antimicrobial properties that are based on its high oxidative potential, could represent an effective alternative treatment for endometritis. The aim of this study was to test in vitro the bactericidal and fungicidal properties of different ozone formulations, either as gas (experiment 1) or dissolved in two liquid matrices (experiment 2), specifically distilled water or oil (Neozone 4000, Cosmoproject, Parma, Italy), onto 6 different species of microorganisms isolated from mares with clinical endometritis, namely Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus equi subsp...
