TL;DR: A systematic review of the incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) with the objective of evaluating its magnitude globally and in different regions and settings suggests that some regional variations might exist.

TL;DR: The pathogenetic mechanisms of HELLP syndrome are reviewed with an emphasis on differences between HELLP and early onset PE.

TL;DR: The data suggest that placental tissue from women with PCOS shows changes in the activities of two important enzymes for steroid synthesis, higher 3β-HSD-1 and lower P450, which could increase androgen production during pregnancy.

TL;DR: Ultrasound assessment of the risk of uterine rupture in women with uterine scars has not been shown to have any clinical utility and is therefore not recommended during pregnancy to help decide the mode of delivery.

TL;DR: Women endorsed higher psychological distress than men across multiple symptoms domains: general psychopathology, anxiety, depression and self esteem.

TL;DR: The insertion of an intrautine balloon or intrauterine device is more effective than the use of hyaluronic acid gel in the prevention of intra-uterine adhesion reformation.

TL;DR: Oral probiotics could be an alternative, side effect-free treatment for one of the most common indications in gynecology, combining the good aspects of both metronidazole and vaginal capsules.

TL;DR: Excessive gestational weight gain is an important contributing factor to the obesity epidemic in women and is associated with pregnancy complications, which is potentially modifiable by achievement of normal GWG, which should be an important focus of antenatal care.

TL;DR: Maternal HFD causes inflammatory changes in the adipose tissue of offspring via late-onset metabolic programming of the fetus, which results in overweight, glucose intolerant and insulin resistant mice of the same gestational age.

TL;DR: The practice of assessing the Manning biophysical score increases the number of diagnoses of oligohydramnios and fetal heart rage (FHR) abnormalities and generates an increase in the rates of inductions and cesareans without improving neonatal prognosis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that dyspareunia as a common complaint in patients with endometriosis causes a severe impairment of sexual function, relationship and psychological wellbeing.

TL;DR: The frequency of placenta accreta correlated steadily with the CS rate until 2000, but since then the incidence has nearly doubled in women with previous CS scars, suggesting an additional causative influence on risk.

TL;DR: Obesity, high grade and stage of cancer, clear cell subtype and high CA 125 level should be incorporated into protocols of VTE prophylaxis in women with ovarian cancer.

TL;DR: By adopting a time-lapse video system, it is suggested that the type of protocol used for controlled ovarian stimulation influences embryo kinetics of development but these variations are not reflected in embryo quality.

TL;DR: In nulliparous women with a spontaneous onset of labor, duration of the active phase of labor increased significantly with increasing maternal BMI, which implies that the risk of prolonged labor is restricted to the first stage of labor.

TL;DR: In this article, four cases of women with vomiting in the third trimester of pregnancy associated with a severe metabolic acidosis were reported and a proposed strategy for management of these women was presented.

TL;DR: The main symptoms of uterus necrosis were fever, abdominal pain, menorrhagia and leukorrhea, and the mean time interval between pelvic embolization and diagnosis of uterine necrosis was 21 days.

TL;DR: During the 26-year period, pregnancy-related VTEs increased, with the greatest rise for antenatal DVTs, and postnatal DVTs declined over the period, particularly following emergency section.

TL;DR: QoL scores were better in patients with secondary infertility and higher educational status, whereas scores were negatively affected by prolonged duration of infertility and desire for psychological support.

TL;DR: The measurement of serum HE4 is a useful method for differential diagnosis between benign gynecologic disease and ovarian cancer and when HE4 was combined with CA125, the sensitivity was higher than that of HE4 alone at the expense of lower specificity.

TL;DR: No differences were found in effectiveness and safety of induction of labour with a Foley catheter and 10mg slow release vaginal prostaglandin E2 inserts andMeta-analysis confirmed a comparable caesarean section rate, and showed fewer cases of hyperstimulation when a FoleyCatheter was used.

TL;DR: It is found that women with a history of miscarriage experienced significant anxiety and depression during their next pregnancy, and a short interpregnancy interval and the first trimester are risk factors for adverse mental health.

TL;DR: Evidence exists for the short-term efficacy (within 24 h) of transversus abdominis plane blocks during hysterectomy in terms of reported pain and morphine consumption, which may not be sustained at 48 h, and anesthetists should not rush to adopt this procedure into routine practice.

TL;DR: Mode of delivery does not directly influence women's satisfaction with childbirth, and involvement in decision-making, support during labour and effective analgesia appear to be the most important factors that improve women's birth experience.

TL;DR: A change in the pattern of indications for hysterectomy, increased age of the affected women, reduced length of stay in the hospital, and a rise in the percentage of minimal invasive surgical procedures are demonstrated.

TL;DR: The prevalence of autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) in patients with PCOS was significantly higher than in controls, and it is suggested that PCOS patients should be screened for AIT.

TL;DR: In term or post-term pregnancies, IO is associated with increased risk of obstetric interventions but outcomes are similar to those of pregnancies with normal AF.

TL;DR: In this article, the difference in circulating anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels between the main polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) phenotypic groups and evaluate the role of AMH in predicting the severity of PCOS.

TL;DR: A retrospective review of five patients treated at the Mayo Clinic between 2002 and 2012 and a literature review from 1970 to the present were performed to review management and results of surgical therapy of intravenous leiomyomatosis.

TL;DR: Data indicate a severe impact of endometriosis on the work ability of employed women with endometRIosis and add to the evidence that this disease represents a significant socio-economic burden.
