Uterine rupture following trauma in pregnancy is rare, especially in earlier gestational ages. The diagnosis can be challenging, and treatment may be delayed when patients present with nonspecific findings. Therefore, a high index of suspicion must be maintained. Once diagnosed, the treatment involves surgical exploration. We present a case report of a first-trimester uterine rupture of a twin pregnancy following a motor vehicle collision in a patient with prior cesarean sections.

Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
