Transversus Abdominis Plane Block versus Epidural Anesthesia for Pain Management Post-Caesarean Delivery: A Pilot Study
CONCLUSION: The TAP block proves advantageous in mitigating postoperative pain for women post-caesarean delivery, particularly in the initial 6 postpartum hours. This relief promotes early mother-infant bonding and facilitates breastfeeding.PMID:38650746 | PMC:PMC11033210 | DOI:10.2147/LRA.S444947 (Source: Local and Regional Anesthesia)

Serum levels of sirtuins, leptin and adiponectin in women with pregnancy-induced hypertension
CONCLUSIONS: High leptin levels in PIH women during 3rd trimester might be helpful to predict the necessity for a caesarian section. Blood levels of sirtuins 1, 3 and 6 measured after the 20th week of gestation cannot be regarded as a single diagnostic test for PIH or preeclampsia. More studies to clarify significance of sirtuins in PIH and PE development and diagnosis are needed.PMID:38631184 | DOI:10.1016/j.cyto.2024.156612 (Source: Cytokine)

Prenatal Exposure to Acid Suppressor Medications and Development of Ductus Arteriosus in Term Newborns
Conclusion PDA incidence in term infants in our population was greater than previously reported. PPI and H2RA are both antiacids with different mechanisms of action. The similar OR for exposure to one as well as the other, and the lack of influence of the initial exposure period, are compatible with bias.

Successful management of fetal hypoxia due to amniotic banding at 26 weeks of pregnancy: A case report of a rare survival
CONCLUSION: This case presents the first reported survival of an extremely preterm fetus in hypoxic distress as a cause of amniotic banding of the umbilical cord, with a rare degree of incidental timing. Ultrasound diagnosis remains the gold standard. Obstetrical vigilance is warranted, with fetal rescue proven to be feasible.PMID:38616145 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.04.010 (Source: Reproductive Biology)
