To develop a predictive model for Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH) in a minority region of China (Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture). A retrospective study was conducted using data from 23,490 hospitalized patients. Employing machine learning techniques, a multilayer perceptron neural network model was built to identify significant risk factors affecting PPH.
We report a clinical case of a 68 years old patient planning for endoscopic mucosal dissection of stenotic lesion with thread pull with needle technique. Patient was known for an undifferentiated upper 1/3 carcinoma treated with exclusive targeted radiotherapy curative (50.4 Gy) with radiosensitizing chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin four cycles.
Internal acoustic canal osteaomas are uncommon noncancerous bony growth and they have no aggressive behavior. Patient’s complaints secondary to these lesions are variable but usually related to balance problems and hearing issues [1]. Management should be tailored based on patient’s symptomatology [2-4].
Management of phthisis bulbi is challenging for ophthalmologists, and often results in evisceration. Foldable capsular vitreous bodies have been developed as an alternative to evisceration in eyes with chronic retinal detachment.
Tubular carcinoid tumor of the appendix is a rare pathology, diagnosed incidentally during histopathological examination of the appendectomy specimen. In the literature, a few cases have been reported. We presented here 28 years of age female, who was admitted in the emergency department with symptoms of acute appendicitis.
May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS) is characterized by the compression of the left iliac vein when it passes between the right common iliac artery and the spine. Complications of MTS include deep vein thrombus formation and even life-threatening pulmonary embolism.
Interventional treatment of a rare case of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula causing cerebral embolism
Pulmonary Arteriovenous Fistula (PAVF) is a rare vascular malformation that directly connects the pulmonary and systemic circulations. This case reports the case of a middle-aged female who was admitted for ureteral stones and experienced sudden onset of consciousness disturbance, respiratory distress, and cardiac arrest during hospitalization.

A 57 year-old man with a history of alcoholic-dilated cardiomyopathy was admitted in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with a cardiogenic shock due to eletrical instability. During the ICU stay the patient condition’s got worse and the team decided to use a Swan-Ganz catheter in order to monitor blood flow and pressures around the heart.
IgG4-related disease is a systemic immune-mediated disease characterized by chronic fibrotic inflammation and IgG4-positive plasma cell tissue infiltration that can involve different organ systems.
