Low-risk patients with a previous #Cesarean section are significantly more likely to attempt and successfully achieve a vaginal delivery at predominantly Black-serving hospitals than at hospitals serving fewer Black patients.

Very interesting pre-print on C-section delivery and oxytocin and vasopressin.

Why voles?
"The use of voles as subjects here also offers several advantages.
First, voles tolerate room temperature housing well [36], without the metabolic [37,38], autonomic [12,39] and
neuroendocrine [40] consequences faced by mice housed at room temperature. Voles are undomesticated,
which means their OXT and AVP systems have not undergone artificial selection as in mice [41]. "

WIST Quotations moves again!Jan 13, 2025

A quotation from #Shakespeare, William:

«
MACBETH: I bear a charmèd life, which must not yield
To one of woman born.
MACDUFF: Despair thy charm,
And let the angel whom thou still hast served
Tell thee Macduff was from his mother’s womb
Untimely ripped.
MACBETH: Accursèd be that tongue that tells me so,
For it hath cowed my better part of man!

Magnetic resonance imaging of the female pelvis after Cesarean section: a pictorial review - Insights into Imaging

The rate of Cesarean sections (C-sections) in Poland increased from 21.7% in 2001 to 43.85% in 2017 even though the Polish Society of Gynecologists and Obstetricians highlights the negative consequences of C-section for both mother and child and recommends to make every possible effort to reduce its percentage, following the World Health Organization recommendations. There is a long list of possible complications related to the uterine scar after C-section, including uterine scar dehiscence, uterine rupture, abdominal and pelvic adhesions, uterine synechiae, ectopic pregnancy, anomalous location of the placenta, placental invasion, and—rarely—vesicouterine or uterocutaneous fistulas. Ultrasound (US) remains the first-line modality; however, its strong operator- and equipment dependence and other limitations require further investigations in some cases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the second-line tool which is supposed to confirm, correct, or complete the sonographic diagnosis thanks to its higher tissue resolution and bigger field of view. This article will discuss the spectrum of C-section complications in the MR image-rich form and will provide a systematic discussion of the possible pathology that can occur, showing comprehensive anatomical insight into the pelvis after C-section thanks to MRI that facilitates clinical decisions.
