Maternal and Clinical Outcomes of Placenta Accreta Spectrum: Insights from a Retrospective Study in Bahrain by Kareeza Selby Chacko, Reem Satam AlSubeaei, Soumya Sunil Nair, Nusrat Khalil Kazi, Rafiea Jeddy

“…Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) refers to a group of abnormal placental attachments in which the placenta adheres too deeply to the uterine wall, with varying degrees of invasion classified as accreta, increta, or percreta. Increased rates of uterine surgeries, advanced maternal age, and cesarean deliveries have all contributed to an increase in the incidence of PAS. …”

Groundwater Flooding of Superficial Gravels in an Urbanized Catchment by Jonathan D. Paul, Aneena Ajmi, Doris Bolaji‐Dada, Samuel Bordessoule

“…Geophysical surveys (ground‐penetrating radar and seismic refraction) were designed to produce high‐resolution water table maps, validated against well measurements. Flow rates and hydraulic conductivity, K, of the gravels were determined both in the field (via pumping and tracer tests) and laboratory, to obviate any scale effects. …”
