The Outcomes of Second Trimesteric Induction of Abortion in Previously Scarred Uterus at Ain Shams Maternity Hospital.

The article focuses on three medical studies conducted at Ain Shams University related to obstetrics and gynecology. The first study evaluates outcomes of second-trimester induction of abortion in women with previously scarred uteri, finding a 15.5% failure rate of medical abortion and 1.5% uterine rupture, with factors such as increased gestational age and multiple prior cesarean sections linked to lower success. The second study assesses serum concentrations of apelin-13 and apelin-36 in women with primary unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss, reporting significantly higher levels in affected women and suggesting these peptides may play a role in the condition's pathophysiology. The third study, a systematic review, analyzes diagnostic accuracy of Pipelle and dilation and curettage for endometrial carcinoma, indicating Pipelle has moderate sensitivity and high specificity.
