Background:
Medical management using potassium chloride feticide and methotrexate is often the first-line approach to cervical pregnancies.
Case:
A 25-year-old woman presenting with a cervical ectopic pregnancy was unsuccessfully managed with conservative therapy, resulting in an arteriovenous malformation requiring a laparoscopic hysterectomy.
Conclusion:
Conservative management of ectopic pregnancies is the treatment of choice for young women looking to preserve fertility. However, medical management is not without risk, and this case illustrates one such complication.

Conserved Binding Sites
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...
