Intrapartum hemorrhage constitutes a life-threatening obstetric complication and can have multiple etiologies. Some rare causes of intrapartum bleeding warrant consideration when assessing these patients. This case study represents one such instance where cervical deciduosis presented with bleeding relatively early in labor and explores the management that followed. A review was requested for a woman undergoing induction of labor due to intrapartum hemorrhage. On vaginal examination, a mass was palpated attached to the cervix which extended from 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock. During emergency caesarean section, a circumferential, sessile, polypoidal mass was attached to the superior margin of the internal cervical os. ABR-238901 molecular weight Histopathology revealed cervical deciduosis. With regard to this patient, it is unknown if this episode of cervical deciduosis (and the associated intrapartum hemorrhage) was the sole cause of fetal distress or if it was an incidental finding. It is worth remembering that although placental causes of intrapartum hemorrhage are foremost in our minds, there can be other structures and causes that lead to intrapartum bleeding. This shows the complexity that may be associated with intrapartum care.

Her vertebral bone mass was 0.634 g/cm2 before pregnancy. The target calcium intake was set at 800 mg/day. Cephalopelvic disproportion led to the patient having an elective cesarean section at 39 weeks 3 days of gestation and she delivered a female infant weighing 2785 g. After the delivery, her vertebral bone mass had increased to 0.700 g/cm2. At 34 years of age, she conceived her second child. With similar perinatal management, she delivered a female infant weighing 2580 g at 38 weeks of gestation by elective cesarean section. Her vertebral bone mass had increased again after the second pregnancy. Few cases of pregnancy complicated by progressive IJO have been reported. However, an uneventful pregnancy course can be expected with proper management, and pregnancy can be a good opportunity to increase bone mass. Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) for tinnitus is an evidence-based intervention. The components of ICBT for tinnitus have, however, not been dismantled and thus the effectiveness of the different therapeutic components is unknown. It is, furthermore, not known if heterogeneous tinnitus subgroups respond differently to ICBT. This dismantling study aimed to explore the contribution of applied relaxation within ICBT for reducing tinnitus distress and comorbidities associated with tinnitus. A secondary aim was to assess whether outcomes varied for three tinnitus subgroups, namely those with significant tinnitus severity, those with low tinnitus severity, and those with significant depression. A parallel randomized controlled trial design ( =126) was used to compare audiologist-guided applied relaxation with the full ICBT intervention. Recruitment was online and via the intervention platform. Assessments were completed at four-time points including a 2-month follow-up period. The primary oest scores at intake experienced the most substantial changes on the outcome measures. This may suggest tailoring of interventions
