Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a major global cause of neonatal, infant, and maternal infections. In Japan, national guidelines based on Centers for Disease Control Prevention recommendations mandate culture-based screening intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) GBS-positive pregnant women. Despite initial reductions in GBS infections, the incidence has plateaued, there are notable limitations current prevention methods. Approximately 15% women not screened GBS, intermittent colonization...
Perinatal care in Japan has progressed rapidly recent decades, remarkably reducing maternal, perinatal and neonatal mortality rates. This is attributable not only to the sustained efforts dedication of past obstetricians midwives, but also collective results achieved by Society Obstetrics Gynecology healthcare administration, including research on advanced medical care, education, improvements establishing centers. Although maternal rate was steady decline until 2007 (3.1/100 000 births), it...
Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder specific to pregnancy that can cause severe maternal-neonatal complications. The International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy revised PE criteria 2018; diagnosis be established absence proteinuria when organ or uteroplacental dysfunction occurs. initial findings (IFsPE) at first vary considerably across patients. However, impacts different IFsPE on patient prognoses have not been reported. Thus, we investigate predictors...
Our study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-indicated cerclage in singleton pregnancies with cervical shortening (<25 mm), excluding those a history preterm birth (PTB) and infection/inflammation.
Abstract Aim The purpose of this study is to clarify the frequencies fresh frozen plasma (FFP) ± fibrinogen concentrate administration (fibrinogen [FC] therapy) and antithrombin (AT) (AT for women with obstetrical disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Methods Two retrospective multicenter case–control studies as Study‐1 (January–December 2018) Study‐2 (July 2022–June 2023) were conducted. was historical control Study‐2. All participants experienced a blood loss ≥1000 mL during...
The aim of this study was to provide basic documents applicable studying the usefulness administering fibrinogen concentrate patients with massive post-partum hemorrhage. We investigated usage at training institutions for specialist physicians Japan Society Obstetrics and Gynecology.The subjects were women who required hemostasis hemorrhage during period between April 2008 March 2013. underlying diseases, obstetric disseminated intravascular coagulation scores, blood loss, amount...
The aim of the study was to explore sonographic findings fetuses with craniosynostosis and investigate their prognosis. We conducted a 5-year, multicenter retrospective collected data on patients diagnosed in perinatal period. Of 41 cases, 30 cases (73%) were syndromic craniosynostosis, eight (20%) non-syndromic other three (7%) secondary chromosomal deletion syndromes. prenatal ultrasound detection rate 61%. Half detected during period Pfeiffer syndrome; there also six Apert syndrome,...
Objective: To describe the pre-conception status, pregnancy outcomes, and medication prevalence in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC).Methods: E-mail-based questionnaire survey for Japan Maternal Fetal Intensive Care Unit Network hospitals inquiring clinical features of SLE, RA, CD UC complicated pregnancies 2 years.Results: The number among 69,810 deliveries was 184, 139, 27 178, respectively. Less than half were...
Since July 2022, obstetrical disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in Japan has been diagnosed based on the new criteria (tentative version), which assesses main underlying disease, fibrinogen level, and fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products or D-dimer level. In June 2024, tentative version underwent minor revision final was released. The previous Japanese assessed clinical symptoms, various laboratory findings. This study aimed to prove effectiveness, reliability, validity of (final...
Compression has been regarded as the main haemostatic mechanism of compression sutures; however, we suggest that reduced uterine blood flow may be another important action. We our ‘double vertical sutures’ have dual actions: bleeding surface and flow.
Abstract Uterine artery embolization ( UAE ) is a common treatment for post‐partum hemorrhage and uterine fibroids. However, the effects of on subsequent pregnancies have not been established. Here, we present case spontaneous rupture after previous . A 31‐year‐old woman underwent cervical ectopic pregnancy. Contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging MRI at days 5 25 post‐ suggested regionally decreased blood supply in mid‐posterior wall fundus. During pregnancy age 35 years, she an...
Ether and restraint stress-induced peripheral plasma corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH), arginine vasopressin (AVP), oxytocin (OXY) adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) levels were measured by radioimmunoassays. Plasma CRH, AVP, OXY ACTH rose to approximately twice the level of control rats 2 min after onset a 1-min exposure ether. CRH further 5 ether stress, while AVP returned baseline at min. showed significant elevation did not show change. whereas levels. concentrations in hypothalamic median...
Congenital heart block (CHB) is the most serious manifestation of neonatal lupus syndrome (NLS), and maternal antibodies directed against 52-kd SSA/Ro 48-kd SSB/La antigens have been reported to be more strongly associated with CHB than those 60-kd antigen alone (1). The important treatment strategy for preventive, based on therapy a fluorinated steroid plasmapheresis during pregnancy (2). We treated both patients who were seropositive anti-52-kd anti-48-kd or had high titers only...
Time spatial labeling inversion pulse (Time-SLIP) is a non-contrast magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) technique. No cases in which this technique was used during pregnancy have been reported. We report herein two with adenomyosis of the same size and location that underwent Time-SLIP MRA pregnancy. In case 1, blood flow within poor, uterine toward placenta normal, resulting no fetal growth restriction (FGR). 2, quite rich, placental seemed decreased, severe FGR. As well as Doppler...
