INTRODUCTION: Misoprostol is widely used in the medical management of missed abortions. However, pretreatment with Mifepristone has shown to be effective but still not recommended to be used in missed abortions. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To compare the outcome of medically managed missed abortion or blighted ovum using combination regime (Mifepristone and Misoprostol) vs Misoprostol alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS: It was a prospective single-centre study performed in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, HIMSR and HAHC hospital, New Delhi, over, for one year...

BACKGROUND: To date, the association between retained placenta and treatment success rate of misoprostol for early pregnancy failure has yet to be evaluated. The aim of this study was to evaluate this association and further investigated the connection between medical, clinical and sonographic parameters and treatment success. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of women with early pregnancy failure treated with misoprostol from 2006 to 2021. The success rate of misoprostol treatment was compared between patients with history of retained placenta including women who underwent manual lysis of the placenta following delivery or patients who were found to have retained products of conception during their post-partum period (study group) and patients without such history (controls)...

INTRODUCTION: Spontaneous pregnancy loss (SPL) is a common health problem that affects 1:10 of childbearing women, and is linked with physical and psychological complications. As the number of nationwide studies on the incidence of SPL is few, especially from middle-income countries, in this study we investigated the epidemiology, complications and outcomes of SPL before 22 weeks of gestation by analyzing large-scale healthcare data from the Unified Nationwide Electronic Healthcare System (UNEHS) in Kazakhstan...

Upper extremity arterial thrombosis is less common than that in the lower extremity. Upper extremity arterial thrombosis, when present, is more likely to occur on the ulnar side of the circulation. Severe ischemia resulting from radial artery thrombosis is rare, but iatrogenic cannulation is the most common etiology when it occurs. The risk factors underlying this dreadful presentation are numerous and still under investigation. Pregnancy and the immediate postpartum period are physiological hypercoagulable states...

OBJECTIVES: Pregnancy at high altitudes is relatively challenging because of hypobaric hypoxia, which is associated with a smaller uterine artery diameter and diminished blood flow. Here, we investigated the histopathological characteristics of early pregnancy disorders among pregnant women living in a high-altitude region (approximately 2200 m above sea level). METHODS: This cross-sectional study used retrospective data collection from a single tertiary hospital in a high-altitude region in KSA...

Heat shock proteins (hsps), in certain circumstances, could shape unique features of decidual dendritic cells (DCs) that play a key role in inducing immunity as well as maintaining tolerance. The aim of the study was to assess the binding of gp96 to Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and CD91 receptors on decidual CD1a+ DCs present at the maternal-fetal interface in vitro as well as the influence of CD1a+ DCs maturation status. Immunohistology and immunofluorescence of paraffin-embedded first-trimester decidua tissue sections of normal and pathological (missed abortion MA and blighted ovum BO) pregnancies were performed together with flow cytometry detection of antigens in CD1a+ DCs after gp96 stimulation of decidual mononuclear cells...

Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) covers a range of proliferative disorders from non-neoplastic hydatid moles to malignant neoplastic conditions such as choriocarcinoma. The incidence of these diseases is low and often challenging to diagnose. Placental site trophoblastic tumour (PSTT) is the rarest form of GTD, accounting for up to 3% of all cases. We present a case of a 35-year-old patient diagnosed with PSTT mimicking an intramural pregnancy. Placental site trophoblastic tumour occurred after pregnancy, which ended as a blighted ovum...

INTRODUCTION: Despite the high prevalence of miscarriages, they are not systematically registered and few epidemiological studies have been done. As Finnish health registries are comprehensive and widely used in research, we validated the Finnish register data concerning diagnostics and treatment of miscarriage, and treatment-related adverse events. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a validation study regarding miscarriage-related codes of diagnoses and surgical procedures in a Finnish National Hospital Discharge Registry (NHDR) by comparing the information from the NHDR with that of the hospital records...

Aim of this study is to investigate whether the risk of miscarriage increases in pregnant women who had COVID-19 in first trimester. Our study included 52 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection detected by RT-PCR and 53 patients with negative RT-PCR test in samples taken with nasopharyngeal swab in the first trimester between March 1 and December 31, 2020. Complete abortion, incomplete abortion, blighted ovum, intrauterine exitus, biochemical pregnancies were accepted as in the miscarriage group (MG). Pregnant women with COVID-19 and control group were compared in terms of demographic data, miscarriage rate and laboratory results...

BACKGROUND Placenta accreta is an abnormal invasive placenta that can be life-threatening because of the risk of hemorrhage. Its incidence has increased due to high cesarean delivery rates. Early gestational age placenta accreta is difficult to diagnose and misdiagnosis can lead to inappropriate treatment. CASE REPORT Patient 1, a 34-year-old woman (para 2 abortus 1) with 2 previous cesarean deliveries, was referred to our department for vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. She received 2 curettages for blighted ovum; then, ultrasound examination found uterus perforation and fluid in the Douglas cavity...

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous miscarriage is one of the two most common problems encountered in the first trimester of pregnancy. The value of histopathological analysis of products of conception (POC) obtained as a result is a source of controversy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the histopathological characteristics of suspected POC following the first-trimester miscarriage and determine the clinical value of such histopathological analyses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study of the histopathological analysis of POC over a period from January 1st to December 31st of 2016 carried out in the histopathology laboratory of a university teaching hospital...

BACKGROUND: Infertility continues to be an enigmatic and emerging problem. Although in vitro fertilization has proved to be revolutionary and immensely beneficial to many people, it is far from perfect, and many women experience recurrent in vitro fertilization failures. There can be a multitude of factors involved in recurrent in vitro fertilization failures. The aim of this report was to explore the role of hysteroscopy in determining potential causes of in vitro fertilization failure and how the relevant hysteroscopic findings can address the issue of infertility in terms of a subsequent successful in vitro fertilization...

Ectopic pregnancies are the main sources of pregnancy-related morbidity and mortality in the first trimester. They are usually located in the ampullary part of the fallopian tube and the incidence increases in the setting of assisted reproductive techniques, older age at the time of the first pregnancy, and prior adnexal procedures. The clinical aspects and diagnostic challenges of an ectopic pregnancy for the pathologist are to be outlined. A review of the relevant literature was performed. Proof of gestational tissue is of utmost importance in the pathological-anatomical evaluation of an ectopic pregnancy...
