BACKGROUND: Embryo selection and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) are used in clinical practice with the aim of improving pregnancy outcomes in patients. However, it remains uncertain whether different PGT techniques improve the live b…

The periconception period is critical for embryo development, pregnancy outcomes, and offspring health. During this stage, oviductal and uterine fluids facilitate embryo-maternal interactions and support early embryonic development. Using P…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the risk factors for severe postpartum hemorrhage (SPPH) in patients with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) undergoing cesarean delivery, despite the prophylactic use of resuscitative endovascular bal…

BACKGROUND: Intramural pregnancy (IMP) is a subtype of ectopic pregnancy that can lead to life-threatening uterine rupture and severe hemorrhage. However, the clinical manifestations of IMP are nonspecific, making early clinical recognition…

BACKGROUND: Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity. The etiology of postpartum hemorrhage exhibits variations in relation to the mode of birth; consequently, risk factors for massive transfusi…
