Uterine artery embolisation has been used as a therapeutic alternative for symptomatic uterine myomas. It is considered a safe and effective procedure, with very few cases published involving complications. The authors present a case of a 35-year-old nulliparous woman with an intramural myoma with 161x143x85mm, submitted to an uterine artery embolisation complicated by uterine necrosis. A hysterectomy was performed. This casereport reinforces the idea that artery embolization is not a riskfree procedure and serious complications may occur. Therefore, patients should be carefully selected.

O tipo de vida nas sociedades ocidentais favorece, nos indivíduos geneticamente predispostos, o desenvolvimento do estado de insulino-resistência. Neste estado, são necessárias concentrações de insulina mais elevadas para que se obtenha uma normal resposta metabólica nos tecidos-alvo, ocasionando o desenvolvimento de hiperinsulinismo. Em consequência da multiplicidade de acções da insulina, a insulino-resistência está associada a disfunção de vários tecidos,orgãos e sistemas (Síndrome X), tendo por consequência, entre outras, um aumento do risco de patologia vascular aterosclerótica. Neste artigo, são revistas as alterações a nível do controlo da pressão arterial, endotélio vascular, metabolismo lipídico e sistema fibrinolítico, consequentes ao estado de insulino resistência e a forma como, junto com o hiperinsulinismo, aceleram o processo da aterogénese. São, igualmente, abordadas algumas das armas terapêuticas capazes de combater aquele estado e, assim, reduzir a morbilidade e mortalidade associadas à aterosclerose.

Objective:We aimed to identify if there was any difference in Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) efficacy or weight gain when used in heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) treatment, between obese and non-obese women. Population and methods: This was a case-controlled retrospective study undertaken between 2002-2007. 194 women with HMB were treated with LNG-IUS and stratified into two groups accordingly with body mass index (BMI): Obese Group – BMI ≥ 30 (n=53) and Non-obese Group – BMI < 30 (n=141). Age, weight, days of spotting and days of menses were analyzed at 1, 3 and 6 months after insertion and then annually until 2 years. Analytic parameters of anemia (hemoglobin, serum ferritin, mean corpuscular volume) were reviewed at pre-insertion, at 6 months and then annually until 2 years. Results: During the 2-year follow-up there was a similar improvement in two groups regarding duration of menses, spotting and in analytic parameters of anemia. A statistically significant improvement was observed in obese group after 2 years of treatment regarding analytic parameters of anemia and menstrual characteristics, without weight gain. Conclusion: In obese women, the LNG-IUS is an effective treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding, without being associated to weight gain.

Adnexal torsion is a rare event whose diagnosis requires a high degree of suspicion since its presentation is clinical and laboratory nonspecific. Ultrasound constitute the first-line exam in the imaging evaluation and timely surgical treatment, with detorsion, is mandatory to allow the preservation of the structures involved. The effectiveness of preventive measures of recurrence is yet to be determined. In this paper, in addition to a literature review, the authors present a new imaging finding and propose a flowchart for therapeutic decision.

Infections during pregnancy are prevalent. A small number of cases, however, may be life-threatening. Sepsis may be associated with multiple organ dysfunction and high mortality and it is one of the most common causes of direct maternal death often associated with the inability to recognize the severity of the illness. Long-term morbidity associated with maternal sepsis is significant and includes chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic pelvic pain, bilateral tubal occlusion and infertility. The impact on neonatal mortality is also substantial, with over one million infection-related neonatal deaths eve - ry year. In the last few years, a vast number of clinical reviews of severe sepsis in pregnancy have been published, focusing on the characteristics of pregnant woman, the establishment of a specific treatment and the relevance of pregnancy surveillance by a multidisciplinary team. The treatment of sepsis is time-critical and requires early diagnosis, aggressive resuscitation, antibiotic administration and source control.

Uterine rupture during a trial of labor after previous cesarean (TOLAC) delivery is a rare, but serious complication. Several factors can increase the risk of uterine rupture, so the assessment of individual risks with adequate counseling is ne - cessary. The initial signs and symptoms are usually nonspecific, hampering timely diagnosis and prompt delivery of the fetus, necessary for optimal outcome. The purpose of this document is to review the risks factors for uterine rupture during TOLAC, as well as the current clinical value of the classically described premonitory signs and symptoms.
