The study reviewed all PAS cases below 22 weeks of gestational age (GA) that underwent cesarean delivery with rectangular-shaped hemostatic sutures. All the pregnancy characteristics, surgical features, and postoperative outcomes were described.Results: Among thirteen pregnant women with PAS, GA from 13 to 17 weeks of GA occupied 11/13 cases. PAS was classified as accreta ( n = 1), increta ( n = 1), increta-percreta ( n = 2), percreta ( n = 4), and percreta invasive to other organs ( n = 5). The estimated blood loss was 761.54 ± 614.12 (150-2,100 mL). Intraoperative blood loss between 500 and 1,500 mL accounted for 46.15%. The surgical duration time was 180.77 ± 32.07 (130-260 minutes). Postoperative duration time was 5.85 ± 2.08 (4-12 days). During the postpartum course, one case was reported with postpartum hemorrhage, acute renal dysfunction, and postoperative infection, respectively. Out of 13 PAS cases, 12 cases were successfully managed with conservative surgery.Conclusion: Surgical management of PAS disorders using rectangular-shaped hemostatic sutures could be acceptable. The technical suture is simple, safe, and cost-effective.","PeriodicalId":7645,"journal":{"name":"AJP Reports","volume":"15 2","pages":"e79-e88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12151718/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144273992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to evaluate the clinical presentation, management, and outcomes of neonates diagnosed with CAVB.Methods: We conducted a retrospective study from January 2018 to December 2024, including eight neonates diagnosed with CAVB. Data on demographics, clinical features, treatment, and follow-up were analyzed.Results: All cases were prenatally diagnosed between 20 and 25 weeks of gestation, with positive anti-SSA/SSB antibodies in five cases. Management included cesarean delivery, Holter ECG monitoring, and pacemaker implantation for four patients. One case resulted in intrauterine fetal death, and two patients died in the neonatal period. Survivors had successful pacemaker implantation with an average follow-up of 18 months.Conclusion: Early prenatal detection and timely management of CAVB are crucial. Pacemaker implantation significantly improves survival, though challenges such as resource limitations and the lack of long-term follow-up data remain. Future studies should address these gaps to optimize care for CAVB patients.","PeriodicalId":7645,"journal":{"name":"AJP Reports","volume":"15 2","pages":"e73-e78"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12148457/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144257136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, aEEG was first used to assess brain function in NKH due to AMT gene mutations in the Chinese mainland so far. The aEEG assessment was stratified according to its background pattern, sleep-wake cycle (SWC), and seizure activity, which gave more objective and systemic results.Results: Seizures and burst-suppression pattern were detected on the aEEG. The background belonged to discontinuous voltage, and showed discontinuity of cerebral activity in the form of the burst-suppression pattern. The classification of SWC in this record belonged to the \"No SWC\" category, which meant the child had severe brain damage. A typical neonatal single seizure was found. The seizure activity lasted approximately 30 seconds. However, clinical symptoms were not observed.Conclusion: Patients with NKH often exhibit complicated clinical phenotypes, and there is a lack of specific symptoms, especially the symptoms of encephalopathy are atypical. aEEG is helpful for the early diagnosis and treatment of seizures. It can help the doctor to carry out appropriate treatment in time. The application value of aEEG in patients with NKH was significant.","PeriodicalId":7645,"journal":{"name":"AJP Reports","volume":"15 2","pages":"e67-e72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12129601/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144207406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neuroimaging showed complete thrombus resolution. The neonate had a normal neurological examination at discharge. Follow-up confirmed overall good clinical condition and showed mild axial hypotonia and convergent strabismus suggestive of cortical visual impairment.Conclusion: Management of CSVT in neonates remains debated. While heparin may carry a risk of bleeding, delaying treatment can lead to thrombus progression. Our case supports the potential safety and efficacy of early heparin use in selected patients.

We present the case of a 35-year-old G4P2 patient, referred to our center for a large adnexal cyst confirmed by ultrasound (US) and fetal MRI, with a calculated volume of 210 mL. Given the cyst's size and the family's strong preference for vaginal delivery (VD), US-guided aspiration was performed at 35 6/7 weeks, followed by an uncomplicated spontaneous VD at 37 2/7 weeks. Two weeks postpartum, the ovarian cyst re-accumulated, requiring laparoscopic-assisted cystectomy in a torsed but viable left ovary. This case demonstrates the importance of individualized prenatal care, where clinical decisions balance parental preferences with medical risks. Maximizing the opportunity for vaginal birth was a top priority for the family, and the successful reduction of the cyst's size through percutaneous aspiration minimized the risk of abdominal dystocia and allowed for a safe VD. We review relevant literature, emphasizing the need for further research to refine fetal intervention criteria and improve outcomes for such cases.","PeriodicalId":7645,"journal":{"name":"AJP Reports","volume":"15 2","pages":"e58-e61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12020539/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143952127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This case report describes a rare instance of a spontaneous dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy, with one fetus in each horn of a didelphys uterus.Case description: This is the case of a 35-year-old woman with unilateral renal agenesis who presented with a spontaneous dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy, with one fetus in each uterine cavity. This patient's pregnancy complications included intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and rising creatinine levels, leading to a planned cesarean delivery at 36 weeks. The delivery was complicated by intrapartum hemorrhage and the postpartum course was further complicated by sepsis and endometritis.Conclusion: This case highlights the complexity of managing a dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy in a didelphys uterus with concomitant congenital unilateral renal agenesis.

Our study involved collaboration with maternal-fetal medicine (MFM).Methods: A retrospective cohort study of pregnant patients: SjD patients were matched 1:3 with non-SjD controls. SjD patients were included by meeting the 2016 ACR/EULAR Criteria or by a rheumatologist diagnosis. Exclusion criteria were concurrent autoimmune disease or related antibodies. A composite of grouped outcomes was utilized and verified by MFM specialists. The primary outcome was adverse pregnancy outcome (APO) between the two groups. Statistical analysis was performed using a two-sample t -test and Fisher's exact test.Results: 48 patients were included: 12 SjD patients and 36 controls. APO was significantly increased in SjD with one preterm birth, one fetal growth restriction, and one limb anomaly; non-SjD had one cardiac anomaly. There were no cases of CHB. SjD patients were more likely to be delivered by cesarean delivery.Conclusion: There was an increased risk of APO in SjD patients compared with controls. No significant difference in neonatal outcomes was found.
