TL;DR: A descriptive review of guidelines to address the risks, diagnosis and management of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and a literature search to address conflicting recommendations and highlight new evidence are performed.

TL;DR: The non-ablative Er:YAG laser therapy improves the impact of SUI symptoms on quality of life and sexual function in premenopausal parous women significantly better than placebo and provides a promising minimally-invasive safe treatment alternative for SUI.

TL;DR: The duration of spontaneous labour in women with good perinatal outcomes varies from one woman to another, and the rigid limits currently applied in clinical practice for the assessment of prolonged first or second stage that warrant obstetric intervention are questioned.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that individuals infected with trichomonas vaginalis have a higher risk of cervical cancer, especially co-infected with Human Papilloma Virus.

TL;DR: MSS could be combined with pelvic nerve-sparing surgery as an effective approach to improve intestinal symptoms after radical surgery for DIE that requires segmental intestinal resection, reproducible, safe and effective.

TL;DR: Ovary was the main site of endometriotic lesions followed by the utero sacral ligaments, and left side was predominant for all locations except for ovarian SI and fallopian tube.

TL;DR: It is shown that the obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer also among premenopausal women, especially for the molecular subtype Triple Negative Breast Cancer.

TL;DR: Insomnia prevalence was high from the beginning of pregnancy, associated with pre-gestational insomnia, and moderate physical activity reduced the odds of insomnia in T3, a sign that two out of three pregnant women suffering insomnia are likely to be suffering insomnia.

TL;DR: Results revealed that women in the intervention group were less likely to use an epidural; and that the prevalence of neonate macrosomia was higher in the control group.

TL;DR: A toned overview of individualized screening, targeting only some young high-risk women, may be beneficial although no randomized trial has proven an impact on breast cancer mortality.

TL;DR: PTEN seems not to be useful as predictive marker of response to the conservative treatment of EH and EC, regardless of the administration route (oral or intrauterine) of progestins.

TL;DR: Electromechanical tissue morcellation may be used in gynecological patients who are considered "low risk" upon appropriate preoperative evaluation; however, further studies and prospective data collection are greatly needed to improve sarcoma risk assessment in women with presumed uterine leiomyomas.

TL;DR: It is concluded that ARFD knowledge is insufficient, particularly in determining when female fertility markedly decreases, and campaigns targeted to reproductive age people and healthcare providers are necessary to help the society to make informed reproductive decisions throughout life.

TL;DR: Current literature remains inconclusive on the optimal approach of appendectomy in pregnant women, and further larger-volume studies are needed in order to elucidate the critical effect of laparoscopic appendectomy on fetal loss rates.

TL;DR: There was no difference in the live birth rates between the study groups, indicating a lack of trend toward benefit from GH supplementation in poor responders, and further studies are needed to know the true impact of adding GH to the induction protocols in poor Responders.

TL;DR: Low maternal PlGF levels in late pregnancy are strongly associated with small for gestational age (SGA), and its predictive value may potentially be enhanced if used in combination with other biomarkers or biophysical measures of fetal well-being.

TL;DR: The serum AMH levels between women with and without insulin resistance (IR) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) were not significantly different and a positive correlation between BMI and IR was found.

TL;DR: There was no significant correlation between patient age and diversity of the bladder microbiome but large numbers of different organisms were identified.

TL;DR: It is observed that perceived alteration of quality of life together with the severity of symptomatic fibroids have a significant impact on the overall level of discomfort perceived by women and on their personalquality of life.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that RM provides opportunities to offer timely interventions to pregnant women who require them as well as demonstrating the value of a remote monitoring (RM) follow-up program for women diagnosed with gestational hypertensive disorders.

TL;DR: Available data are not adequate to provide counseling by the physicians in menopausal women regarding the efficacy of vaginal therapies as an alternative to estrogens, on all parameters of sexual function.

TL;DR: NLR was detected to be a prognostic factor for survival and moreover, NLR and PLR are a predictive value for lymph node involvement and also for cervical invasion in endometrial cancer.

TL;DR: SC administration of trastuzumab was associated with a substantial reduction in active HCP time, patient chair time, unit time, and overall cost, and these time and cost could be used to increase capacity within existing resources in a lean operating day care oncology unit.

TL;DR: It is reached that R-LESS surgery is feasible, safe and has equivalent surgical outcomes as conventional LESS surgery; in addition to shorter recovery times, less postoperative pain and better cosmetic outcomes than robotic multi-port surgery.

TL;DR: Indications that vaginal diazepam plus TENS is useful to improve pain and PFM instability in women with VBD are provided.

TL;DR: Although cutaneous endometriosis is a rare disease, its association with gynaecological surgery, and in particular caesarean section, means that there should be more awareness of this condition.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that placental hypoxia and ER stress are interrelated contributory factors to the pathogenesis of PE and the consequential release of placental derived debris into the maternal circulation.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that both meshes can be safely and effectively used with good anatomical outcomes and Interestingly, PVDF use was associated with significantly less storage symptoms and sexual dysfunction.
