Postpartum hemorrhage is the most important and also preventable cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare cause of postpartum hemorrhage. We present a case of arteriovenous malformation, which may be one of the rare but potentially fatal causes of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). ⋯ After the hysterectomy, the pathology diagnosis supported the initial clinical and radiological suspicions of AVM. Hysterectomy is the definitive treatment method of AVM and should be considered in patients who are not eligible for embolization. This case is presented to draw the attention of physicians to AVM as a possible cause of secondary PPH.

Bone reduction and shelf preparation is a common procedure to establish a new alveolar plane before implant surgery, which might effect the primary stability. ⋯ IT and RFA are not influenced by bone reduction, shelf preparation, or the implant surface. Primary stability is mostly affected by bone density in the immediate load of 4 implants to support a full-arch prosthesis.

Affinity of coronavirus disease to the central nervous system is not well known. ⋯ The change in consciousness was the reason in more than half of the patients who requested neurology consultation during COVID-19 follow-up. Impaired consciousness in a patient with COVID-19 may indicate a poor prognosis. If the studies planned in the near future can shed light on the cause of the unconsciousness developing in COVID-19, it will be promising in terms of treatment plans to reduce mortality.

This experimental study was designed to test the hypothesis that ondansetron, a selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, would decrease the duration of motor, sensory, and proprioception blockade in a dose-dependent fashion in a bupivacaine-induced sciatic nerve blockade. ⋯ This is the first study showing that perineural ondansetron administration (800 μg dose) reverses the effect of the local anesthetics and shortens the duration of the motor, sensory, and proprioception functions blockade.
