Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Adenomyosis is a common condition but its aetiology and natural history are still unknown and its association with parous women, increasing age, dysmenorrhea intensity and with the presence of deep infiltrating endometriosis is shown.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Data from a retrospective case-control study of pregnancy outcomes in 57,724 women managed at a university teaching hospital in Rhode Island, USA support the hypothesis that the incidence of GDM is higher in women predisposed to developing ICP.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Understanding can be useful for health professions to inform and counsel the pregnant women to prevent and reduce the risk factors that contribute to the development of SUI during pregnancy and postpartum period.

Journal ArticleDOI
Noam Smorgick1, Oshri Barel1, Noga Fuchs1, Ido Ben-Ami1, Moty Pansky1, Zvi Vaknin1 
TL;DR: The lack of traditional curettage comparison groups in most studies precludes the conclusion that hysteroscopy is superior to traditional cureTTage, but this procedure does appear to have low complication rates, low rates of IUA, and high rates of subsequent pregnancies.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Pre-operative placement of intravascular balloon catheters is a feasible treatment for AIP, and is particularly useful in cases of placenta percreta.

83 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Examining women's attitudes about environmental chemicals and whether they try to limit their exposure during pregnancy found belief in environmental chemicals are dangerous was associated with a number of healthy behaviors including choosing organic foods, foods in safe plastics, and chemical-free personal care products, and limiting fast food intake.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Clinicians are likely to experience increasing numbers of patients with IC/PBS as more is understood about its pathophysiology and evolving epidemiology, and urogynaecologists should familiarise themselves with appropriate diagnostic criteria and evidence based therapies to optimise clinical outcomes in this patient cohort.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The role of this specific strain as a potential empirical preventive agent for reducing vaginal discomfort after conventional treatment of acute VVC and shifting the vaginal milieu toward a predominance of lactobacilli with an improvement of the vaginal pH value is confirmed.

TL;DR: Among platelet indices, the platelet distribution width (PDW) is significantly higher in women with severe PE than in Women with mild PE, and is positively correlated with the mean arterial pressure (MAP), therefore, the PDW can serve as a candidate marker for predicting the severity of PE.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: There was a significant relationship between low 25(OH)D3 levels in mid-pregnancy and high EPDS scores, which is indicative of PPD for all three follow-up periods and more extensive studies are required to be carried out on this subject.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is indicated that the risk of GDM is two-fold higher in women with singleton pregnancies conceived following ART compared with women who conceived spontaneously and progesterone use during pregnancy was found to be an important risk factor for GDM.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis of non-randomized studies that assessed the association between mode of delivery and neonatal mortality in women with preterm breech presentation concludes that cohort studies indicate that CS reduces Neonatal mortality as compared to VD.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Abnormal maternal blood biomarkers in early pregnancy are significantly associated with preeclampsia, particularly early onset disease.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Twin pregnancy, irrespective of mode of conception, carries an increased risk of morbidity and mortality for both mother and babies and therefore couples should be counselled regarding the increasedrisk of iatrogenic twinning associated with double embryo transfer.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Mesh erosion following vaginal sling procedures is a frustrating complication with relatively low incidence, but it was found to occur more often after TOT procedures than TVT procedures.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results failed to show that DHEA supplementation enhances in vitro fertilization-intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcome in women with poor ovarian reserve.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Every area of sexual function investigated through the SHOW-Q questionnaire was significantly impaired compared to healthy women, indicating that endometriosis severely affects sexual function.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Although complete rupture of the uterus has a severe neonatal prognosis, the complete set of standard symptoms is present in less than 10% of cases.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Removal of the urinary catheter 6h postoperatively appears to be more advantageous than early or late removal in cases of uncomplicated total abdominal hysterectomy.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Multivariate regression analysis for maternal weight gain, neonatal length, Neonatal weight and neonatal head circumference showed an independent correlation with maternal vitamin D level, and treatment of low serum vitamin D during pregnancy improves fetal growth indices and maternal weightgain.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the pregnancy outcomes of women with or without a definitive diagnosis of endometriosis on laparoscopy, and found no significant differences in miscarriage (18.4% vs 18.1%), preterm birth (7.5% vs 8.3%), pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) babies.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In malignant conditions, less blood loss, fewer complications and a shorter hospital stay were considered as the main advantages of robot-assisted surgery, like any mini-invasive technique when compared to open surgery, and vaginal hysterectomy was considered the optimal choice when feasible.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This study confirms the efficacy of DNG in treating symptomatic women with rectovaginal endometriosis even in a particularendometriotic subpopulation of NETA "resistant" patients.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Non-invasive prenatal testing using cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma has been developed for the detection of fetal aneuploidy and should be implemented in national health care as an optional secondary screening test for those pregnancies complicated by a high risk for T21.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results of this survey confirm the inconsistencies surrounding the clinical management of IUGR pregnancies and highlight the need for standardisation of terminology and antenatal surveillance, implementation of fetal weight customisation and national guidance for Ireland.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: POP is better tolerated than COC and it seems to ameliorate migraine attacks compared to COC in symptomatic patients with rectovaginal endometriosis and migraine without aura, and both drugs efficaciously relieve endometiosis-related pain symptoms.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of urinary incontinence subtypes on women's quality of life and psychosocial state found that psychiatric assessment may improve the management ofincontinence in women, especially UI and MI.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Assessment of maternal and fetal risk factors, diagnosis, management and prognosis of placental abruption within the three maternity units of a French university hospital found appropriate multidisciplinary management can limit maternal morbidity and mortality but perinatal mortality remains high.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: An alarming trend toward higher numbers of stroke hospitalizations during the last decade was demonstrated in studies from 1995 to 1996 and 2006 to 2007, and the rate of all types of stroke increased by 47% among antenatal hospitalizations, and by 83% among post-partum hospitalizations.
