Introduction Low uterine segment transverse Cesarean Section is the most frequently performed surgery in obstetrics with a reported frequency of 31.9% of deliveries in the USA reported by the CDC [1]. While Cesarean Section is an indispensable tool in Obstetrics, like all surgical procedures it carries risks. As a procedure performed in young and for the most part healthy women, the incidence of severe morbidity and mortality is relatively low, approximating 2.9% [2] nevertheless we are recently identifying additional risks, such as that of Post-Cesarean Syndrome [3-7]. That has been defined broadly as symptoms resulting from the presence of a defect in the lower uterine segment (Lower Uterine Segment Transverse Incision Defect, LUSTIDs). Such symptoms can be pain, bleeding [7] and dysmenorrhea [6]. In addition, the likelihood of a larger defect increases with retro flexion and repeat cesarean deliveries [6]. Such cases are also identified at the time of delivery and the thickness of the remaining lower uterine segment wall is a determinant of the likelihood of complications during labor. In a more recent identified expression of LUSTIDS is infertility, as documented by failure to conceive in the absence of any other cause of infertility [3,8]. We present a case series of patients with LUSTIDS, starting with a Cesarean Section Ectopic managed with primary intent repair at the time of Hysterotomy. ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to present the first patient where a lower uterine segment transverse incision defect that led to a cesarean section scar ectopic pregnancy was repaired at the same time with Hysterotomy for removal of her persistent ectopic pregnancy. We also reviewed the literature.

Progesterone (P) is very involved in achieving successful embryo implantation. It aids in the creation of thinwalled spiral arteries which are needed for nutrient exchange between mother and fetus, by creating a cellular immune response, which removes the thick-cell walls of some of the uterine arteries thus creating spiral arteries. This uterine artery remodeling requires 5 days, but the embryo reaches the uterine cavity by day 3. Thus, P inhibits implantation at that time by stimulating a glycoprotein called mucin-1, which lines the uterine cavity and prevents the embryo from attaching until the mucin-1 barrier is finally breeched, on day 5. Progesterone also inhibits dopamine, which normally serves to decrease cellular permeability. Thus, by blocking dopamine, irritants infuse into the uterine tissue leading to an inflammatory response (70% natural killer cells). These natural killer cells would attack the fetal semi-allograft. However, P again serves to inhibit immune rejection of the fetal semi-allograft, by inducing cells of the fetal-placental unit to make a unique immune modulatory protein called the progesterone induced blocking factor (PIBF), which suppresses cellular immunity. This hypothetical model explains the beneficial effect of creating a greater inflammatory response by endometrial irritation (endometrial scratch), to improve number of spiral arteries, which may be deficient. In addition, this model explains the potential beneficial effect of luteal and first trimester supplementation of P, in improving fecundity and also the possibility of sympathomimetic amines releasing dopamine to similarly improve fecundity by diminishing excessive cellular permeability. Excessive cellular permeability may be the cause of various chronic medical conditions, since they seem to respond very well to dextroamphetamine treatment. Cancer cells also use the PIBF mechanism to escape immune surveillance. Thus, it is no surprise that P receptor antagonists can improve quality and length of life to patients with a variety of cancers.

Dilated Cardiomyopathy: ABSTRACT Cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscles, is difficult to manage and can lead to sudden cardiac death. Dilated cardiomyopathy, a form of cardiomyopathy, with recurrences in subsequent pregnancies, increases the morbidity and mortality of both mother and child. Here, we report a case of a 25-year-old woman with amenorrhea for 6 weeks and a history of dilated cardiomyopathy during her previous pregnancy. Despite the risks and associated complications with the disease, she willingly continued her pregnancy and underwent caesarian section giving birth to a premature alive baby. The aim of this case is to provide guidance on how to manage a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy throughout her pregnancy including antenatal, intranatal and postnatal care.
