Case ReportsUncorrected tetralogy of Fallot and pregnancy: a case report.
We report a case of pregnancy in a 34-year-old woman with uncorrected tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). There are more risks in patients without surgical correction. ⋯ Improvement of fetomaternal outcome may be related to corrective procedures before conception to achieve better functional heart capacity. Delicate multidisciplinary medical management is essential for these limited cases to achieve optimal prognosis.

Review Case ReportsPulmonary benign metastasizing leiomyoma: case report and review of the literature.
We present a case of a middle-aged woman who was admitted to the hospital for abdominal pain and was found to have multiple nodules on her CT scan. After CT-guided biopsy, we finally diagnosed PBML case. The patient had a very effective response to bilateral oophorectomy and hysterectomy. A brief review of the literature for PBML is also included.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of diclofenac sodium with indomethacin suppositories for mediolateral episiotomies.
The study was carried out to compare the analgesic effect of diclofenac sodium and indomethacin suppositories for management of right mediolateral episiotomy repair. ⋯ The two analgesics were effective after episiotomy repair, however diclofenac sodium suppositories may be the preferred choice because they were more effective.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyThe efficacy of paracetamol versus tenoxicam on postoperative pain and morphine consumption after abdominal hysterectomy: a placebo-controlled, randomized study.
The purpose of this study was to determine the analgesic efficacy and side-effects of paracetamol and tenoxicam in comparison with placebo in patients with postoperative pain after elective abdominal hysterectomy. ⋯ A single dose of 20 mg tenoxicam provided effective analgesia and reduced total morphine consumption in comparison with paracetamol and placebo after abdominal hysterectomy.

Comparative StudyCesarean section with relative indications versus spontaneous vaginal delivery: short-term outcomes of maternofetal health.
The aim of the study was to compare maternal and perinatal mortality and short-term outcomes of maternal and perinatal health between a cesarean group with relative indications and a vaginal delivery group. ⋯ Short-term maternal complications were more frequently seen in cesarean deliveries with relative indications than spontanous vaginal deliveries but no difference was found in perinatal mortality and morbidity. There is a clear need for research on health outcomes for mothers and infants associated with cesarean delivery without any medical indication.
