Fetal Growth Outcomes in a Cohort of Polydrug- and Opioid-Dependent Patients 
Laura Garrison, M.A., Lawrence Leeman, M.D., M.P.H., Renate D. Savich, M.D., Hilda Gutierrez, B.S., William F. Rayburn, M.D., M.B.A., and Ludmila N. Bakhireva, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H.
Polysubstance use was associated with higher risk of microcephaly (OR=4.7, 95% CI 2.0�10.8) and small-for-gestational-age status for weight (OR=3.7, 95% CI 1.4�9.4).

Comparison of the Trends in Risk Factors and Management of Severe Postpartum Hemorrhage: Years 2000�2004 Versus 2005�2008
Cherie C. Hill, M.D., Evelyn L. Lockhart, M.D., Elizabeth Thames, R.N., Michael J. Paglia, M.D., Maria J. Small, M.D., M.P.H., Andra H. James, M.D., M.P.H., and Chad A. Grotegut, M.D., M.H.S.
The prevalence of severe postpartum hemorrhage did not change significantly over a 9-year period, but in later years there was greater utilization of misoprostol and platelet transfusion.

Fertility Outcomes After Hysteroscopic Morcellation of Intrauterine Leiomyomas and Polyps
Vaishali Bhalani, M.D., Andrew Chang, M.D., Christen Adkins, M.D., Serena H. Chen, M.D., and Michael Scheiber, M.D., M.P.H.
Eradication of intrauterine lesions by hysteroscopic morcellation in subfertile women undergoing fertility therapy is safe and significantly increases subsequent pregnancy and live birth rates.

Day 3 Biopsy and Blastulation Rates
Mario Vega, M.D., Andrzej Breborowicz, M.D., Ph.D., Maytal Sauerbrun, M.D., Daniel Stein, M.D., Peter McGovern, M.D., and Martin Keltz, M.D.
Blastomere biopsy lowers blastulation rate but allows more euploid embryos to be available for transfer. The fully expanded or hatching blastulation rate appears unaffected.

Management and Outcomes of Patients with Stage I and III Low-Risk Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia Treated in Sheffield, UK, from 1997�2006
Madeleine C. Macdonald, M.D., Barry W. Hancock, M.D., Matthew C. Winter, M.D., Robert E. Coleman, M.D., and John A. Tidy, M.D.
In patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia the overall complete response rate to 8-day methotrexate was 56%, with no significant difference between Stage I and III.

Education of Providers Crucial in Ensuring that Patients Receive Desired Postpartum Sterilization Procedures
Kay Roussos-Ross, M.D., Samantha Winterrowd, M.D., and Kathryn Davidson, M.D.
Educating health care providers that postpartum sterilization should be considered an urgent medical procedure can increase the rates of completed sterilization procedures.

Placental Site Trophoblastic Tumor: A Distinct Entity of Gestational Trophoblastic Disease: Experience from a Tertiary Referral Center in Hong Kong
Mandy Man Yee Chu, M.B.B.S. (MRCOG), Ka Yu Tse, M.B.B.S. (MRCOG), Karen Kar Loen Chan, M.B.B.Chir. (FRCOG), Annie Nga Yin Cheung, M.B.B.S., M.D., Ph.D. (FRCPath), and Hextan Yuen Sheung Ngan, M.B.B.S., M.D. (FRCOG)
The prognosis of patients with placental site trophoblastic tumor is excellent if the disease is confined to the uterus, and adjuvant treatment after hysterectomy is not needed.

Unintended Live Births Following Second Trimester Pregnancy Termination by Labor Induction
Vani C. Movva, M.B.B.S., Diedre Fleener, R.N., B.S.N., and Asha Rijhsinghani, M.D.
The role of feticide is limited in preventing unintended live births in second trimester pregnancy termination.

Ilknur Demir Karakilic, M.D., Onur Karabacak, M.D., Nese Karabacak, M.D., Ismail Guler, M.D., and Umit Korucuoglu, M.D.
Heavy menstrual bleeders with endometrial hyperplasia could be treated effectively with combined use of GnRH analogs and progestins for rapid cycle control and histological reversal.

Does Anti-M�llerian Hormone Predict Outcome of Pregnancy in Women with Recurrent Miscarriage?
Yu Xiao, Ph.D., Spiros Liatsikos, M.B., Ph.D., Ayesha Purohit, M.B., Dongmei Song, M.Med., and TinChiu Li, M.D., Ph.D.
Anti-M�llerian hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone measurements have no significant prognostic value on the outcome of pregnancy in women with recurrent miscarriage.

Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia and Pregnancy Outcome After Routine Second Curettage for Hydatidiform Mole: A Retrospective Observational Study
Momo Kan, M.D., Eiko Yamamoto, M.D., Ph.D., Kaoru Niimi, M.D., Ph.D., Koji Tamakoshi, M.D., Ph.D., Yoko Sekiya, M.D., Kimihiro Nishino, M.D., Kazuhiko Ino, M.D., Ph.D., and Fumitaka Kikkawa, M.D., Ph.D.
Routine second curettage for hydatidiform mole may not reduce gestational trophoblastic neoplasia or affect subsequent pregnancies.

Efficacy and Safety of Perioperative Use of Epinephrine for Laparoscopic Myomectomy in Infertile Women with Symptomatic Solitary Intramural Uterine Fibroids: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Robert Hudecek, M.D., Ph.D., Martin Huser, M.D., Ph.D., Son a P�nkov�, M.D., Lenka Mekinov�, M.D., Jana Kadlecov�, M.D., and Pavel Ventruba, M.D., MBA
Laparoscopic myomectomy with epinephrine is effective and safe, resulting in a lower blood loss, shortened duration of surgery and hospitalization, and no appreciable complications.

Isolated Recurrent Hematotrachelos After Abdominal Myomectomy: A Case Report
Charalampos Chatzicharalampous, M.D., and Mary A. Bray, M.D.
Acquired hematotrachelos is a rare condition and the diagnosis often poses a challenge, especially if there is no obvious history of cervical surgery or manipulation.
