Abstract Objectives To evaluate the strength of association between maternal and pregnancy characteristics risk adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnancies with laboratory confirmed COVID-19. Methods Secondary analysis a multinational, cohort study on all consecutive pregnant women laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 from February 1, 2020 to April 30, 73 centers 22 different countries. A case was defined as positive result real-time reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) assay...
Severe perineal lacerations are rare obstetrical complications in high-income countries. However, the prevention of obstetric anal sphincter injuries is crucial because their long-term consequences on a woman's digestive function, sexual-mental health, and well-being. The probability can be predicted by assessing antenatal intrapartum risk factors.This study aimed to assess incidence at single institution for 10 years identify women more evaluating relationship between factors severe tears....
In this retrospective study we share our single-center experience using a magnetic seed for the preoperative localization of non-palpable breast lesions. Patients who underwent with Magseed® (Endomagnetics, Cambridge, UK) placement between 2020 and 2022 were enrolled. Indications to Magseed have been established during multidisciplinary meetings prior surgery all patients breast-conserving (BCS). 45 included. Magnetic seeds introduced under ultrasound guidance in 40 (88.9%) stereotactic 5...
Multi-modal image analysis using deep learning (DL) lays the foundation for neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) response monitoring. However, existing methods prioritize extracting multi-modal features to enhance predictive performance, with limited consideration on real-world clinical applicability, particularly in longitudinal NAT scenarios data. Here, we propose Response Prediction (MRP) system, designed mimic physician assessments of responses breast cancer. To feasibility, MRP integrates...
Background: Lumbar epidural analgesia (EA) is the most commonly used method for reducing labour pain, but its impact on duration of second stage and neonatal maternal outcomes remains a matter debate. Our aim was to examine whether EA affected course among patients divided according Robson-10 group classification system. Methods: Patients Robson’s classes 1, 2a, 3, 4a were into either or non-epidural (NEA) group. A propensity score-matching analysis performed balance intergroup differences....
We urgently need answers to basic epidemiological questions regarding SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnant and postpartum women its effect on their newborns. While many national registries, health facilities, research groups are collecting relevant data, we a collaborative methodologically rigorous approach better combine these data address knowledge gaps, especially those related rare outcomes. propose that using sequential, prospective meta-analysis (PMA) is the best generate for policy-...
Introduction Our retrospective study aimed to investigate whether parents of twins encounter heightened psychological and emotional distress one year after childbirth, in comparison singletons within an Italian cohort. Methods Exclusion criteria included multiparity, preterm birth, congenital anomalies, stillbirth, >2 fetus pregnancies, pre-existing maternal mental health disorders. Out the 300 couples (600 parents) invited participate, 286 (158 mothers, 128 fathers) successfully...
Abstract Background Iron deficiency (ID) has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, maternal anaemia, and altered susceptibility to infection. In Papua New Guinea (PNG), monthly treatment sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine plus azithromycin (SPAZ) prevented low birthweight (LBW; <2500 g) through a combination of anti-malarial non-malarial effects when compared single SP chloroquine (SPCQ) at first antenatal visit. We assessed the relationship between ID birth outcomes in women receiving...
Gallbladder percutaneous tissue sampling is a not-so-common technique in cytohistological diagnosis of gallbladder or masses, which can be useful cases surgically unresectable disease and unfeasible endoscopic assessment to address the most adequate chemotherapy course. Nonetheless, great utility patient’s diagnostic therapeutic work-up. This article summarizes literature evidence on biopsy techniques, complications, technical precautions for safe effective sampling.

Abstract Introduction The main objective of this study is to conduct an individual patient data meta-analysis with collaborators from various countries identify SARS-CoV-2 variants concern associated adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Methods Eligible studies included registries single- or multi-site cohort that recruited pregnant recently postpartum women confirmed COVID-19. Studies must have enrolled at least 25 within a defined catchment area. also had overlapped more than single...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Severe perineal lacerations are rare obstetric complications in high-income countries, yet, their prevention is crucial due to long-term consequences on woman digestive function, sexual-mental health and wellbeing. This study aims assess the incidence of anal sphincter injuries at a single institution over period ten years identifying women more risk by evaluating relationship between antenatal intrapartum factors severe tears. METHODS: was an observational retrospective...
