Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the possible risk factors for cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).
Methods: The CSP group comprised 499 women with CSP admitted to Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province between December 2009 and December 2018, and the observation group comprised 499 women who delivered after a previous cesarean section, selected by propensity score matching. The demographic characteristics and pregnancy history of patients were collected. The independent sample -test was performed to analyze the measurement data; the test or Fisher's exact test was performed to analyze the count data. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was performed for significant variables. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the optimum cutoff score for predicting risk factors for CSP.
Results: After univariate analysis, binary logistic regression analysis revealed that the number of abortions, the proportion of previous cesarean sections performed in tertiary hospitals, the time since the previous cesarean section, the number of cesarean sections, and a trial of labor before a previous cesarean section were correlated with the occurrence of CSP (odds ratios (ORs) (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) of 1.420 (1.276-1.581), 0.631 (0.462-0.863), 0.950 (0.912-0.990), 8.482 (5.567-12.922), and 0.321 (0.212-0.487), respectively). The area under the ROC curve for the number of miscarriages, the number of cesarean sections, and time since a previous cesarean section was 0.625, 0.695, and 0.607, respectively. When the number of miscarriages, the number of cesarean sections and time since a previous cesarean section were 1.5, 1.5, and 4.5 years, Youden's index was the highest.
Conclusions: Multiple cesarean sections and multiple abortions are risk factors for CSP; a trial of labor before a previous cesarean section, a long interval between cesarean sections, and surgery in tertiary hospitals are protective factors for CSP.

Radiology, Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad, PAK.
Background: The rising rates of cesarean sections (CS) globally have increased the number of women with prior cesarean deliveries who may be candidates for vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). This study explores the factors influencing the success of VBAC in women with a previous CS and fetomaternal complications associated with VBAC failure.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the obstetrics unit of Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad, Pakistan, enrolling 102 eligible women who had previously undergone a CS and were offered the option of attempting a vaginal delivery.

Cardiac arrest in pregnancy is a rare event and poses a great risk to the mother and the fetus. A perimortem cesarean delivery (PMCD) is indicated within four minutes of cardiac arrest if the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) has not been achieved. This is a case of a 24-year-old pregnant woman who had a cardiac arrest and underwent a PMCD within six minutes.

Propofol and thiopental are commonly used induction agents for general anesthesia in cesarean sections. While both are effective, their impact on neonatal outcomes, particularly Apgar scores, remains a subject of clinical interest. Neonatal Apgar scores are critical indicators of early adaptation and are used to assess the immediate well-being of the newborn after delivery.

Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is commonly described in individuals recovering from immunosuppression, particularly in HIV-positive patients initiating antiretroviral therapy. However, a similar rebound phenomenon can occur postpartum, a period marked by a shift from an immunotolerant to a pro-inflammatory state. IRIS in this context is underrecognized and may present atypically, complicating timely diagnosis.
