Preliminary experience in uterine artery embolization for second trimester pregnancy induced labor with complete placenta previa, placenta implantation, and pernicious placenta previa.
To explore the application of uterine artery embolization (UAE) in complete placenta previa, placenta implantation, and pernicious placenta previa during second trimester pregnancy induced labor. ⋯ UAE is the safe method to avoid serious bleeding due to complete placenta previa, placenta implantation, and pernicious placenta previa with second-trimester pregnancy termination.

Review Case ReportsSuccessful management of complete placenta previa after intrauterine fetal death in a second-trimester pregnancy by uterine artery embolization: case report and literature review.
A 27-year-old woman with complete placenta previa was referred at 22 weeks of gestation because of vaginal bleeding and fetal growth restriction. At 24 weeks, sudden fetal death occurred, but bleeding continued and transvaginal sonography revealed abundant periplacental blood flow in the uterine wall. ⋯ Total blood loss was only 149 ml. The present case suggests that UAE may be an option for patients with placenta previa who desire vaginal delivery after intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) in a second-trimester pregnancy.

Software toolbox for analysis of the endometrial myometrial junction - a pilot study.
To develop and evaluate an algorithm for computerized evaluation and measurement of the endometrial-myometrial junction (EMJ). ⋯ Maximum EMJ thickness measurements performed by the innovative Matla software algorithm are as accurate as manual measurements, and have the potential to reduce inter-observer variability.

Histologic chorioamnionitis prevalence in patients with premature rupture membranes.
This was a retrospective cohort study between 2002 and 2011. A total number of 150 singleton pregnancies with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) (before 34 weeks) were analyzed. ⋯ PROM is a risk factor important for histological chorioamnionitis. To avoid neonatal infection, early termination is recommended in preterm PROM patients.
