Background and Objectives: Fetal growth abnormalities increase the risk of negative perinatal long-term outcomes. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a ubiquitous endocrine-disrupting chemical to which humans may be exposed in number ways, such as from environment, via various consumer products, through individual's diet. Since compound possesses estrogen-mimicking properties exerts epigenetic genotoxic effects, it has been associated with harmful effects impacting entire spectrum human life, including,...

Introduction Multiple births constitute the dominant adverse effect of fertility treatments and are associated with increased perinatal risks. The aim this study was to comprehensively examine present time trends in multiple Greece. Methods Data on live by multiplicity were derived from Hellenic Statistical Authority, covering a 65-year period 1957 2021. Temporal birth rates (MBR), twin (TwBR), as well triplet higher-order (Tr+BR) assessed using joinpoint regression analysis, annual...

Fetal growth disturbances place fetuses at increased risk for perinatal morbidity and mortality. As yet, little is known about the basic pathogenetic mechanisms underlying deranged fetal growth. Apelin an adipokine with several biological activities. Over past decade, it has been investigated its possible role in restriction. Most studies have examined apelin concentrations maternal serum amniotic fluid third trimester or during neonatal life. In this study, were first time early...

Background: During the early stages of human fetal development, skeleton system is chiefly made up cartilage, which gradually replaced by bone. Fetal bone development mainly regulated parathyroid hormone parathormone (PTH) and PTH-related protein, with specific calprotectin playing a substantial role in cell adhesion chemotaxis while exhibiting antimicrobial activity during inflammatory osteogenesis process. The aim our study was to measure levels PTH second trimester amniotic fluid carry...

Background: Despite the considerable progress made in recent years fetal assessment, etiology of growth disturbances is not as yet well understood. In an effort to enhance our knowledge this area, we investigated associations amniotic fluid angiotensinogen renin–angiotensin system with abnormalities. Methods: We collected samples from 70 pregnant women who underwent amniocentesis during their early second trimester. Birth weight was documented upon delivery, after which embryos corresponding...

Key Clinical Message Caesarean scar pregnancy represents one of the rarest locations ectopic pregnancies. It occurs when blastocyst is implanted in a from previous caesarean section. A dramatic increase its prevalence has been observed for last decades, reaching about 21% globally. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to avoid maternal morbidity mortality. Our case presents characteristic appearance with full implantation gestational sac scar, which was managed successfully laparotomy.

Long operation time remains a disadvantage of robotic-assisted gynaecological procedures. A score that predicts the duration such surgeries could be useful.A retrospective analysis in our institution were conducted. We assessed preoperative values as body mass index, uterine size, previous abdominal surgeries, way deliveries and pathology led patients to theatre we created predictive score, 'Iavazzo score'. Thereafter, correlated this with surgery.57 included. Mean 'Iavazzo' was 7.96, while...
