Uterine rupture is a significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality factor. It is defined as the complete cleaving of the three uterine layers. The pregnancy distention leads to alteration of the uterine wall fibers, especially in the low resistance points like surgical scars. World Health Organization realized an extensive systematic review to determine the prevalence of uterine rupture. A lower prevalence was seen in developed countries and higher rates for least developed countries. The incidence of uterine rupture in women with caesarean section is estimated to be 1% and without caesarean section is as low as 0.006%. Although the uterine scar is the main feature of uterine rupture, other contributing influences on untoward outcomes must be promptly recognized. The aim of this paper was to assess the frequency of uterine ruptures in a tertiary referral center, to identify risk factors and symptoms for complete and partial uterine rupture before labor, common symptoms of uterine rupture, multidisciplinary approach, and emergency surgical management.

In Bucharest University Emergency Hospital every day we deal with difficult cases either presented per primam in our setting or, even more difficult situations, cases that were intended to be treated in other hospitals but due to lack of infrastructure are sent towards our multidisciplinary hospital, as a final stop. Conditions that our teams have to deal in a very restricted amount of time in the Emergency Room are: submucous myoma with heavy bleeding acquired uterine arteriovenous fistulae, ovarian ruptured cyst , ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, adnexal torsion, tuboovarian abscess, classical tubal ectopic pregnancy, Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, incomplete abortion, ruptured uterus post minimally invasive procedures performed before pregnancy, placental abruption, placenta praevia with heavy bleeding, and the PAS – Placenta Accreta Spectrum. All these conditions recquire a rapid differential diagnosis where ultrasonography is useful in adopting a tailored management either conservative or radical, in avoidance of haemorhagic accidents or even death and, when needed, in fertility sparing.

Ovarian cancer is the seventh most commonly diagnosed cancer in women, with the highest mortality rate among female genital cancers. Due to the nonspecific symptoms and the lack of effective screening strategies, ovarian cancer is often diagnosed in an advanced stage of the disease, with a 5-year survival rate of 25%. The efforts of specialists are aimed at identifying screening methods, with the lowest possible rates of false positive or false negative results in order to diagnose the disease at an early stage, when the 5-year survival rate is 92%. In this study we analyzed the incidence of ovarian cancer in the last five years in the Bucharest University Emergency Hospital, being registered 153 cases of ovarian cancer. The aim of this paper is to analyze the correlation between the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer and the long-term prognosis.

Pregnancy is a risk factor for developing a severe, complicated form of COVID-19. Medical reports have revealed that pregnancy increases three times the risk of ICU admission and 1.7 times the risk of death in patients with COVID-19. The crossing of the placenta by the antibodies generated through vaccination offer a level of protection that should not be ignored. We aimed to comparatively analyze the levels of SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM antibodies in pregnant women who have had this infection during pregnancy or have undergone a complete vaccination cycle during pregnancy, as well as antibody levels in newborns. The inclusion criterion was history of SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy or COVID-19 complete vaccination. For each case the peri-partum values of IgG and IgM SARSCoV- 2 antibodies were analyzed in the same laboratory along with those of their newborns. The vaccination rate in our study group was about 6%. All cases had a significant value of protective IgG SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and the level of protective antibodies of the newborns closely followed maternal values. From the cases with SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy, only 16.6% had a protective level of antibodies and 75% of the newborns from these cases had protective levels of IgG SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Our results clearly plead in favor of vaccination in pregnancy
which provides significant benefits for both mothers and infants.

The reentrant paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias with narrow QRS complex are in a large majority represented by atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). From an electrophysiological (EP) point of view the difference between the two forms is made by the type of the reentry circuit. That means that the former requires an accessory pathway with retrograde conduction while the latter implies the existence of perinodal pathways.
The left atrium (LA) is a part of the circuit in both types of arrhythmias. In sinus rhythm the left atrium has several functions: it acts as a conduit during protodiastole, it has a contractile function raising the filling pressure during atrial systole but it also has a reservoir function during ventricular systole.
