Novel cross-over sign in cesarean scar pregnancy helps predicts the risk of invasive placentation
First trimester ultrasound scan evaluating the relationship between the gestational sac and the endometrial line in women with cesarean scar pregnancy(CSP) helps predicts the development of abnormally invasive placenta (AIP) and consecutive intra and post-operative surgical morbidities reports the results of a retrospective case series published in Journal of International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Negative sliding sign by ultrasound in repeat cesarean section predicts presence of severe intrabdominal adhesions
A negative sliding sign by ultrasonography (USG) in patients with previous cesarean section helps alert the surgeon to expect massive intraabdominal adhesions, difficult repeat cesarean section and need of blood transfusion during surgery reports the results of a prospective observational study published ahead of print in the February issue of Journal Obstetrics and Gynecology.
A practical guide to counting ovarian antral follicles by ultrasound
A consensus opinion highlighting the main techniques of ovarian antral follicle count (AFC), and providing recommendations for future research is published in special issue on Reproductive Medicine of the journal Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
The consensus makes several recommendations for varied methods used in counting the antral follicles, but no single method is superior over others and the choice should make best use of resources available in a particular setting.
Novel emerging infectious diseases in pregnancy
Last two decades have seen epidemics of several infectious diseases which were previously not so prevalent worldwide. Pregnant mothers are especially prone to many infections because of anatomical and physiological changes that accompany pregnancy. The immune tolerance to semiallogenic fetus is because of down regulation of immunity, which puts the pregnant women at high risk of other infectious diseases reports a paper published in May 2017 issue of Journal Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Innovative force sensing technology enables the surgeons to feel again from a distance
SensOR Medical Laboratories, a medical device start-up based out of Toronto, Canada has developed a novel force-sensing electronic skin called ForceFilm, that when paired with the existing laparoscopic tools enables the surgeons to get the ‘tactile sensation’ so easily felt during open surgeries.
Handling the tissues from a distance makes it difficult to get the idea of the amount of force applied and increases the rate of surgical complications.
