Unforeseen consequences of the increasing rate of cesarean deliveries: early placenta accreta and cesarean scar pregnancy. A review

TLDR
The review resulted in several conclusions: the diagnosis of placenta accreta and cesarean scar pregnancy is difficult; transvaginal ultrasound seems to be the best diagnostic tool to establish the diagnosis and local methotrexate- and hysteroscopic-directed procedures had the lowest complication rates.

What is the optimal rate of caesarean section at population level? A systematic review of ecologic studies

TL;DR: A systematic review of ecologic studies published between 2000 and 2014 found a strong inverse relationship between CS rates and the mortality outcomes so that maternal, neonatal and infant mortality decrease as CS rates increase up to a certain threshold, which could be interpreted to mean that at CS rates below this threshold, socio-economic development may be driving the ecologic association betweenCS rates and mortality.

Regulation of Human Placental Development by Oxygen Tension

TL;DR: In this study, cytotrophoblasts cultured under hypoxic conditions (2 percent oxygen), mimicking the environment near the uterine surface before 10 weeks of gestation, continued proliferating and differentiated poorly, but when cultured in 20 percent oxygen, mimickingThe environment near uterine arterioles, the cells stopped proliferating
