Objective: To report the prevalence of pNK≥12% and its relationship with RPL in a population of Mexican women. Methods: Retrospective, cross sectional and observational study which included 98 women with history of RPL, who were subjected to a blood test sample to measure pNK cell and prevent complications in further pregnancies. Two groups were formed: 1) CONTROL and 2) RPL: Women with history of 2 or more miscarriages. Results: Women in the RPL group were older and had higher BMI compared to the Control group. Prevalence of patient whit pNK≥12% increase in the RPL vs Control. RPL group showed a significant increase of pNK≥1% compared to the Control (11.3±0.5 vs 9.5±0.6%, p=0.002). Finally, the median level of pNK≥12% in the PRL group was higher than Control (15.1±0.5 vs 13.5±0.8%). Conclusion: RPL may be the result of increased pNK concentrations and as observed in this study, slightly more than 50% of the Mexican population could be susceptible to abortions.
Background: Labor is a physiological process during which the fetus, the membranes, the umbilical cord and the placenta are expelled from the uterus and water delivery has become popular, although its prevalence is unknown, it is supported by healthy women with full-term pregnancies, without complications; although there is insufficient evidence to support or discourage it. Objective: To identify obstetric and neonatal outcomes and complications in women who delivered in water and to compare them with traditional deliveries. Material and methods: It is a retrospective, observational and cross-sectional study, where 2486 women were included from a database of 4223 women assisted from 2004 to 2020 in private hospitals; Of the 2486 patients included, 1025 had a water delivery and 1461 had a conventional delivery, discarding 1737 women who underwent caesarean section from the study. The information obtained from the patients, their data obtained for this study were kept in the anonymity of the patients, where they were analyzed: non-parametric data reported in percentages using Chi square; Parametric, perinatal and neonatal data are reported as mean plus standard deviation (±SD) and analyzed using Student's T, using the SPSS version 25 statistical package. Results: A total of 2486 women were included in this study, the birth in 1025 was water delivery (24%) and 1461 was conventional delivery (35%), 1737 caesarean section (41%) were excluded from the study, no difference was observed maternal age; unlike weight, height, body mass index; they were higher in women with water birth compared to conventional. No difference was demonstrated between nulliparous (45.99%) and multiparous (53.86%) when comparing both birth in water and conventional; only increase in previous caesarean sections (9.36 vs 6.5%, p=0.008) and decrease in previous abortions (16.19 vs 20.94%, p=0.002) in water delivery with the conventional one; complications were not different: administration of oxytocin (3.2 vs 3.1) or postpartum hemorrhage (0.29 vs 0.13) in both deliveries; no differences in first degree perineal tears (21.4 vs 18.5%). Conclusion: Water birth reduces stress, pain sensation, second and third degree perineal lacerations and contributes to better newborn outcomes; the selection and inclusion of patients with low-risk pregnancies allows better perinatal results than conventional delivery; but, further studies are required to use it routinely.
Objective: To describe the evolution of Utero-Vesical Fistula (UVF) of one patient who received conservative treatment using intravenous (IV) infusion of 120x106 Adipose tissue Mesenchymal Stem Cells (ADMSCs). Clinical case report A 36-year-old female presented with post-cesarean hematuria 3 hours after an emergency c-section was performed consequently to placental abruption during labour. The primary measure was to use a transurethral Silastic 18F Foley catheter to prevent bladder expansion. The catheter remained for 21 days. Evaluation through Computarized Tomography Cystography (Cisto-CAT) revealed failure to close the fistula. The decision to inject ADMSCs as an IV single dose was done. Three weeks after this intervention no blood was seen in the urine drainage bag. Complete resolution of UVF was confirmed with a control CT urogram. Result: Total closure of UVF. Conclusions: The IV infusion of ADMSCs proved to be a plausible and effective conservative treatment of UVF.
Objective: To report the incidence of Natural killer cells peripheral blood (pNK) ≥12% and his relationship with Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF) in a population of Mexican women. Methods: Retrospective, cross sectional and observational study that included 74 women with history of RIF, which were subjected to a study to evaluate pNK cell levels in order to avoid complications in future pregnancies. 2 groups were formed: 1) Control and 2) RIF: women with a history of implantation failure and primary infertility (with no history of pregnancies or abortions). Results: Women in RIF were younger and had higher BMI, compared to the Control. Prevalence of patients with pNK cells ≥12% was statistically higher in RIF than in Control (66.6% vs 20%). RIF showed a significative increase of pNK≥1 cell concentration, compared to Control (12.9±4.6 vs 9.5±0.6, p=0.00). When only women with results of pNK ≥12% were evaluated, RIF showed a level numerically higher than that of the Control (16±1.8 vs 13.5±0.8). Conclusion: RIF may be the result of increased pNK concentrations and as observed in this study, slightly more than 60% of the Mexican population could be susceptible to abortions.
Background: Infantile hemangiomas (IH) are common neoplasms composed of proliferating endothelial cells. The duration and the growth rate are variable; some grow very poorly, while others grow rapidly and at an unpredictable rate. Despite the relative frequency of IH and the possible severity of complications, there are currently no uniform treatment guidelines. Although most are not worrisome, about 12% of IHs are significantly complex; propranolol has been adopted as a treatment. Objective: Report a clinical case of lactanate with hemangioma treated with propranolol. Case report: A healthy newborn is presented, with the presence of small telangiectasias in the right hemicneck without association with obstetric trauma; of a healthy 31-year-old mother; During its evolution at 3 months of age, the area covered with telangiectasias turned deep blue and the growth of a protrusion began, ultrasound and angioresonance, showed soft tissues of the posterior cervical space a lobulated mass of 9.1x4.1x4.9cm in its longitudinal and transverse diameter respectively, diagnosing it as a deep hemangioma; which was treated with propanolol. Discussion: Asymptomatic newborns with infantile neck hemangiomas are clinically controlled for the first six months of life, 60% of them develop life-threatening airway symptoms; the identification of the hemangioma was due to its rapid growth and not due to the alteration of surrounding structures that put the well-being of the infant at risk. Regarding the application of Propranolol, its administration was immediately after its identification, to avoid future complications. Conclusion: administration of propranolol systemically eliminates the characteristic color and reduces the size of the hemangioma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
