Critical Care Obstetrics and Gynecology

Volume 2, Issue 3

I am honored to introduce the new Issue of Critical Care Obstetrics and Gynecology Journal.

It is an open access journal that employs international experts for peer reviewing in order to attest a good quality of scholarship, thus spearheading the knowledge transfer in this important and expanding area. This Scholarly journal aims to focus on discoveries and application of knowledge across fields, which are important and outstanding for the medical community in the area of gynecology and obstetrics.

The first article is a case report of a patient with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and strokelike episodes (MELAS) with a deteriorating lactic acidosis precipitating a disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and a major post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) following an elective Caesarean section. MELAS syndrome is important to be known in the post-delivery care in order to prevent a PPH, due to altered mitochondrial metabolism.

The second article is a short review about fertilitypreserving with GnRH-agonists in young female patients treated by gonadotoxic chemotherapy. Authors conclude that it is important to offer all the possibilities for these patients, cryopreservation of embryo, ovarian tissue, and GnRH-agonist, even in high-risk patients as leukemia while we wait for new developments.

Our last article is another very interesting case report of an eclampsia in a young pregnant woman that suffered from an undiagnosed severe preeclampsia. The case aim is to emphasize problems in diagnosis of significant proteinuria in pregnancy (SPIP) and preeclampsia.

As the editor of these articles, it has been a pleasure to see the enthusiasm and dedication clinical authors have in their work, providing the best possible knowledge in continuously improving for patients.
