Changes in coagulation indexes, thromboelastogram(TEG) and autoantibodies in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) with different number of abortions were analyzed. ⋯ RPL was related to the decrease of APTT, PT, and the increase of FIB and DD levels. TEG indicated that the increase of α and MA values indicated that the risk of multiple abortion was increased. The positive rates of ACA, EmAb and ATA were closely related to multiple abortions, especially the positive rates of ACA and ATA.

Primary objective was to explore experiences of female residents of Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) regarding lapses in patient safety (PS) while secondary objective was to explore factors hampering or favouring improvement of PS in OB/GYN. ⋯ Incidents of Patient Safety (PS) lapses had a strong impact on the emotional and professional life of residents. Formal PS training with improvement of working conditions may help promote PS culture.

To evaluate and compare the Ondansetron and Granisetron in preventing spinal anaesthesia induced hemodynamic instability in obstetric patients. ⋯ High dose granisetron (3mg) is superior to low dose ondansetron (4mg) in preventing hemodynamic fluctuations induced by spinal anaesthesia.

To compare the clinical efficacy of robot of stereotactic assistant (ROSA) and frame-assisted stereotactic drilling and drainage for intracerebral hematoma in hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH). ⋯ Compared with frame-assisted stereotactic drilling and drainage for intracerebral hematoma, ROSA in HICH treatment shortens the surgical duration and postoperative extubation time, reduces the risks of infection and rehemorrhage and decreases inflammatory level, which is helpful for the recovery of neurological function.

Iatrogenic perforation is a complication that can occur during endodontic treatment. If left untreated, it adversely affects the prognosis of the tooth. ⋯ The management of perforations was done with MTA under 25x magnification of a dental operating microscope. The periapical radiograph and clinical investigations revealed complete bone formation at the furcal area adjacent to the repaired strip perforation and ossification of the apical lesion indicating a favourable healing outcome at 18 months of follow up.
