1. Primary hysterotomy location on the uterus

“Reducing the long-term impact of cesarean scar defects: a focus on prevention – Primary hysterotomy location on the uterus.

This figure demonstrates the typical location of uterine incision performed as a lower uterine incision. The upper uterine incision demonstrated is just above the uterovesical peritoneal fold, where there is a richer blood supply.

One hypothesis is that, at this location, where the blood supply is richer, oxygen and growth factors are delivered more effectively, leading to improved healing.”

2. Differences in the maternal plasma protein abundance

“New biomarkers for the detection of fetal death derived from large-scale proteomic analysis of maternal plasma – Differences in the maternal plasma protein abundance between fetal death and control pregnancies described in a volcano plot.

The figure shows a volcano plot of log10-transformed–adjusted P values against log2-transformed fold changes of maternal plasma proteins (identified by corresponding gene symbols) significantly changing in abundance between fetal death cases and controls.”

4. AJOG Expert Review in Cesarean

“AJOG Expert Review in Cesarean: Essential anatomical knowledge for performing routine and complex cesarean delivery – Uterine blood supply

Illustration depicting the classical uterine vasculature (ovarian and uterine arteries) and their principal superior and inferior anastomotic connections.

The extensive inferior vascular anastomotic network provides substantial collateral perfusion capacity that may persist despite the occlusion of both the uterine and ovarian arterial systems, necessitating consideration during hemostatic management. Arterial structures are delineated in red, and the ureter is distinctly visualized in yellow.”

5. External manual aortic compression during patient transports

“AJOG Surgeon’s Corner: External aortic compression: buying time to save lives in obstetric hemorrhage – External manual aortic compression during patient transports

During intrahospital transfers, external manual aortic compression can be maintained if the operator kneels on the patient’s stretcher while she is being moved.

Manual compression applying the operator’s body weight on the patient’s abdomen (at the umbilical level) is maintained while the patient is transported on the stretcher to the operating room.”
