Filter by:Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) is a disease associated with abnormal placental adhesion and invasion. In recent years, the incidence of PAS has increased significantly, which can cause massive postpartum hemorrhage, hysterectomy,and even maternal mortality. The research team of Peking university third hospital developed the ultrasound rating scale in china at first to conduct preliminary assessment of the PAS risk which can identify the severity of cases. In a basis of ultrasound, plan to explore the MRI for the the investigators diagnosis of PAS according to some specific PAS features, like the the uneven signal intensity , the myometrial discontinuity, and black band on T2 image, and finally established a MRI scoring system of PAS. MRI score system of PAS can reduce the subjective difference of the clinician's visual reading, and assist the clinician to assess the risk of sever PAS further, and conduct perioperative preparation to reduce the risk of maternal morbidity and mortality to achieve a better clinical outcome.
Placenta accreta is a relatively rare event, in which the placenta is abnormally implanted into the uterine myometrium. The most significant complication is intense bleeding, mainly during labor. The incidence of placenta accreta increased during the last years due to the increase in cesarean delivery rate, which is the main risk factor. Pre-cesarean diagnosis of placenta accreta may improve surgical outcome. Early diagnosis allows appropriate preparation of multidisciplinary team (including, among others; OB-GYN, urologists, anesthesiologists, neonatologists) and massive blood products. Pre-cesarean diagnosis is based on imaging, mainly ultra-sound. This modality has significant false positive rate which may result in extreme sources investment and even indicated pre-term labor, in vain. Volatolome is a complex of volatile markers emitted in several processes in the human body and collected from breath, skin, urine, blood, feces and more. This profile may be used to identify volatile markers for specific medical conditions. NA-NOSE is an electronic device knowing to identify differences in the Volatolome between "healthy" and "sick" subjects. The objective of this study is to identify specific volatile profile for placenta accreta which will help to distinguish between women with placenta accreta and those without.
This study aim to assess the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to gray-scale and colour Doppler ultrasound (US) for the prenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta.
The placenta accreta spectrum (PAS)is one of the most common reasons for cesarean hysterectomy Which associated with high rates of severe maternal morbidity (40%-50%), with reported mortality rates up to 7%. And, a cesarean hysterectomy might not be considered first-line treatment for women who have a strong desire for future fertility. Conservative management of PAS defines all procedures that aim to avoid peripartum hysterectomy and its related morbidity and consequences. The main types of conservative management which have been described in the literature: the extirpative technique (manual removal of the placenta); leaving the placenta in situ or the expectant approach; one-step conservative surgery and the Triple-P procedure. These methods have been used alone or in combination and in many cases with additional procedures such as those proposed by interventional radiology.
Cell free fetal DNA might predict abnormal placental invasion
Objective: To compare between the role of Transabdominal ultrasound versus Transvaginal ultrasound in evaluation of placental invasion in cases of placenta previa anterior wall with previous uterine scar applying the unified ultrasonographic descriptors suggested by the European working group on abnormally invasive placenta "EW-AIP' Also to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of each criterion by comparing them with the final outcome of pregnancy Fifty pregnant women with persistent placenta previa (after 28 weeks' gestation) were prospectively enrolled into this study. Both transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound were performed by two different operators who were blinded to the results of each other. the placenta was studied as regarding the exact loacalization and the unified descriptors were applied and evaluated by TAS and TVS. The ultrasound findings were analyzed with reference to the final diagnosis made during Cesarean delivery and histopathological examination
A total of 60 women pregnant more than 28 weeks gestation will be recruited from obstetric outpatient clinic (faculty of medicine -Cairo University Hospital) after being diagnosed of having placenta previa or low lying placenta by grey scale ultrasound. Placenta will be reexamined by grey scale ultrasound & color Doppler. Sonographic parameters evaluated will include placental location, loss of retro-placental clear zone, irregularity and thickness of the uterine-placental interface, the smallest myometrial thickness in sagittal and transverse planes, presence of lacunar spaces and bridging vessels & the presence of abnormal vasculature. The sonographic findings will be compared with intraoperative ones. Hysterectomy specimen (if any was done) will be evaluated histo-pathologically to assess the degree of placental invasion & to confirm the accreta status. The aim of the study is to determine the efficacy of ultrasound in predicting operative findings and associated co-morbidties among cases of placenta accreta.
Placenta accreta is a potentially life-threatening obstetric condition that requires a multidisciplinary approach to management.Diagnosis of placenta accreta before delivery minimizes potential maternal or neonatal morbidity and mortality. In this study the researchers will evaluate the role and cost effectiveness of biochemical marker as creatine kinase in comparison with 3D Doppler ultrasound in antenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta and its variants in patients with placenta previa totalis.
The accuracy of sonographic prenatal detection of invasive placentation is unclear. The objective of this prospective, multicenter, observational study is to assess the performance of ultrasound for prenatal identification of invasive placentation in women with placenta previa. This study involves more than 25 hospitals in Italy.
