Successful Cesarean Section Deliveries in a Patient with a History of Developmental Venous Anomaly-Induced Hemorrhage
While hemorrhage can occur because of developmental venous anomalies (DVAs), there is no established opinion concerning their association with pregnancy and childbirth. In the present report, we discuss the case of a now 39-year-old woman with DVA in whom pregnancy and childbirth were successful. When she was 28, she experienced disturbance of consciousness and paralysis on the left side of the body, and brain computed tomography revealed cerebral hemorrhage coupled with subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Psychosis Polyrisk Score (PPS) for the Detection of Individuals At-Risk and the Prediction of Their Outcomes
Conclusions The combination of risk/protective factors encompassing genetic (PRS) and non-genetic information (PPS) holds promise for overcoming the epidemiological weakness of the CHR-P paradigm. The PPS conceptually and empirically developed here will facilitate future research in this field and hopefully advance our ability to detect individuals at-risk for psychosis and forecast their clinical outcomes. Ethics Statement This study was supported by the King's College London Confidence in Concept award from the Medical Research Council (MRC) (MC_PC_16048) to PF-P. This study also represents independent researc...

Maternal Cardiac Output Response to Colloid Preload and Vasopressor Therapy During Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Section in Patients With Severe Preeclampsia: A Randomized, Controlled Trial
(Anaesthesia. 2018;73:23–31) Minimally invasive cardiac output monitors have been used in parturients to assess the hemodynamic effects of spinal anesthesia and the commonly used vasopressors phenylephrine and ephedrine. However, studies utilizing these devices have been performed mostly in healthy parturients, with data lacking for those with severe preeclampsia. This randomized study’s objective was to compare the cardiac output response to phenylephrine or ephedrine administered for spinal hypotension during cesarean delivery in women with severe early-onset preeclampsia as well as to measure the stroke volume resp...

Description of the First Cases with ADAMTS13 Mutations in Hungary
CONCLUSIONS:Clinical and molecular characterization of the first 5 Hungarian cases with ADAMTS13 mutations was presented. Compound heterozygous, damaging ADAMTS13 mutations with deficient plasma ADAMTS13 activity were associated with serious clinical consequences. In case of thrombotic microangiopathy in young patients with stroke, or HELLP syndrome, complete workup for ADAMTS13 activity and inhibitors is necessary, and genetic analysis should be considered. Three new ADAMTS13 mutations (c.1016_1017delCA, c.3199T>A , c.2839C>T) were identified and shown to be associated with decreased plasma ADAMTS13 activity.Disclos...

Ultrasound elastography of the lower uterine segment in women with a previous cesarean section: Comparison of in-/ex-vivo elastography versus tensile-stress-strain-rupture analysis
Conclusion This study confirms that US elastography can help in determining viscoelastic properties of the LUS in women with a previous CS. The data from our small series are promising. However whether individual extreme values of high stiffness and consecutive restricted biomechanical resilience can explain the phenomenon of rupture during TOLAC in cases of LUS with adequate thickness remains a question which prospective trials have to analyze before US elastography can be introduced into clinical practice.

Gut Microbiota in Health and Disease
Intestinal regulatory T (Treg) cells are critical to maintaining immune tolerance to dietary antigens and gut microbiota. This paper reviews several papers on this topic that were recently published by Japanese researchers. Specifically, Prof. K. Honda and his group have found that commensal microbiota capable of metabolizing butyrate induces the differentiation of colonic Treg cells. In a separate work, Prof. Y. Yokoyama and his group used a novel, culture-independent analytical method (the Yakult Intestinal Flora-Scan) for detection of bacteria in the bloodstream. Their work revealed that bacteremia in invasive surgery p...

Pre-eclampsia and acute pulmonary embolism —the importance of making a differential diagnosis: a case report
We describe the case of a 41-year-old pregnant patient who presented at 38  weeks of gestation for an urgent cesarean section, with new onset of pre-eclampsia as the initial diagnosis. The intraoperative course was complicated by seizures and hemodynamic collapse. Initially, the presentation of seizure pointed to pre-eclampsia/eclampsia; however, with careful consideratio n of each event as it occurred, the correct diagnosis was later determined to be pulmonary embolism and stroke. This case illustrates the importance of considering multiple possible etiologies, even when a particular diagnosis seems obvious.

A new life for Lynkin after encephalocele surgery
When you meet Lynkin Bell, the first things you notice are her big personality and chubby cheeks. You might also see how she adores her brother Lukis and hamming it up for the camera. But you’d never guess that this playful 14-month-old from Texas wasn’t expected to survive, never mind talk, stand or play peekaboo like a pro. And yet, thanks to her parents’ faith and persistence — and surgery at Boston Children’s Hospital — Lynkin can do all those things, and lots more, with the gusto befitting any toddler her age. “It’s a miracle,” says Kaylen Gaston, Lynkin’s mom. “We were told so many times she wou...

Postpartum cardiomyopathy with cardioembolic stroke (p3.298)
Conclusions:Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a rare cause of stroke. Though seldom described, it should be considered in appropriate female patients presenting with neurological deficits. Definitive therapy with anticoagulation should be considered to prevent further complications.Disclosure: Dr. Kumbham has nothing to disclose. Dr. Sharma has nothing to disclose. Dr. Patel has nothing to disclose. Dr. Masangkay has nothing to disclose.

Cryptogenic postpartum stroke.
Abstract An estimated 25-40% of ischemic strokes are classified as cryptogenic, which means the cause of the cerebral infarction remains unidentified. One of the potential pathomechanisms - especially among young patients with no cardiovascular risk factors - is paradoxical embolism through a patent foramen ovale. Pregnancy, cesarean delivery and the postpartum period are associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular events. Factors that may contribute to ischemic strokes during gestation and puerperium include classic cardiovascular risk factors, changes in hemostaseology/hemodynamics, and pregnancy-specif...

Upper extremity arterial thrombus presenting at birth
We report a 36-week neonate born to a 31-year-old G2P0 woman by emergency c-section due to decreased fetal movement. The pregnancy had been uncomplicated up to that point and the mother had no significant medical history. Birth weight was 2.49 kg. Apgars were 6 and 5. Superficial skin loss and dark blue discolouration were noted along the left upper extremity and hand immediately after delivery. Fluid resuscitation and sterile saline wraps slowly improved perfusion, and the extremity pinked up over the subsequent 3 h (figure 1). She was transferred to an appropriate outside facility where Doppler ultrasound revea...
