Carotid webs are intraluminal shelf-like projections caused by thickening of the arterial tunica intima. Due to their projections forming a nidus for thrombus formation and subsequent embolus, they are considered to be a rare cause of ischaemic strokes. We report a case of a woman with a background of recurrent ischaemic strokes due to bilateral carotid webs who presented with a twin pregnancy. We use this case to discuss how her pregnancy-related stroke risk was subsequently medically managed.

In 2021, the steering committee members of British Society of Haematology Obstetric Haematology Special Interest Group noted difficulties in opening research studies. This led to the development of a survey to further evaluate this issue. An electronic survey was distributed to all members of the British Society of Haematology Obstetric Haematology Special Interest Group and to relevant specialty leads of the National Institute for Health and Care Research Clinical Research Network for further dissemination within these networks. Responses were received from 65 participants (73% consultant grade); mainly haematologists (52%) or obstetricians (39%). Less than a third of participants reported dedicated time for research in their job plan, with only five participants reporting no challenges in opening research studies in obstetric haematology. The survey confirmed significant interest in obstetric haematology research, with barriers to participation. We propose further actions to facilitate increased research.

Pregnancy poses significant physiological demands, and women of extreme short stature may be particularly at risk of complications. Described here are two pregnancies in a woman who was 130 cm tall with a body mass index of 12 kg/m2 and the maternal and neonatal outcomes. The challenges encountered in the care of our patient included cardiorespiratory compromise, management of medication dosing, management of delivery and bleeding risk.

Background: Coroners in England and Wales publish Prevention of Future Death (PFD) reports when they believe action should be taken to prevent similar deaths from occurring, and organisations have a duty to respond within 56 days. These reports are publicly available, but under-utilised and poorly disseminated. Methods: We used an established and reproducible web-scraping and case-screening method using openly available code to screen 4411 PFDs from 1st July 2013 (inception) - 1st June 2023 for maternal deaths. We extracted demographic information, coroner ’ s concerns, and organisational responses, and employed directed content analysis to identify common themes. Results: We identi fi ed 29 PFDs concerning maternal deaths. The mean age of death was 34 years and 76% occurred in hospital. The most common causes of death were suicides and consequences of thromboembolism (6 cases each). The most frequent risk factor identi fi ed was extremes of age (<17 years or >35 years). Death most commonly occurred during the antepartum period. Coroners frequently voiced concerns around poor multidisciplinary working (59% of PFDs), failure to provide appropriate treatment (48%) and failure of timely escalation (38%). Only 38% of PFDs received a response from the organisation to which they were sent. When organisations did respond, 85% of responses implemented new changes including publishing new local policies, increasing multidisciplinary training in obstetric scenarios, or committing to increasing staf fi ng levels. Conclusions: PFDs can highlight gaps in obstetric care which, if appropriately addressed, could prevent future maternal deaths. However, the low response rate to reports suggest lessons are not being learnt

To investigate the prevalence and aetiology of hypokalaemia in pregnancy. This was a five-year retrospective audit of women who received care at a tertiary hospital, who developed hypokalaemia during pregnancy and within three weeks postpartum. Serum potassium and magnesium levels cause(s) of hospitalization and investigations for hypokalaemia were obtained from hospital records. One hundred and ten women developed hypokalaemia during pregnancy and the immediate postpartum period, representing 0.36% of total births. Ninety-one per cent of patients had mild to moderate hypokalaemia (K 2.6–3.1 mmol/L), while 9% had severe hypokalaemia (K < 2.6 mmol/L). The most common associations of hypokalaemia were infection (38%), vomiting (18%), hypertensive disorders (12%) and postpartum haemorrhage (9%). Twenty-four patients did not have a clear underlying aetiology of hypokalaemia, but only five had further investigations. There was inadequate investigation and follow-up of hypokalaemia, particularly in women in whom an obvious cause was not apparent.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) occurs on the background of increased insulin resistance. We aimed to investigate the levels of plasma pancreastatin (PST) levels and its association with metabolic, demographic, and anthropometric parameters in gestational diabetic and normal glucose-tolerant pregnant women. A total of 165 pregnant women in the 24th–28th week of pregnancy were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. PST levels were measured using ELISA method. Median PST levels were similar between GDM (n = 62, 37.6%) and normal glucose-tolerant control group (n = 103, 62.4%). In the GDM group, PST level showed a significant positive correlation with fasting insulin and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). In binary logistic regression analysis, PST levels did not predict the presence of GDM significantly. Positive correlation of PST with fasting insulin and HOMA-IR suggests that PST could be associated with insulin resistance. Further studies are needed as regards to the role of PST in GDM pathogenesis.
