TL;DR: It is necessary to give 100 mg of intravenous or intramuscular thiamine in HG patients with persistent or severe late onset vomiting to prevent them from developing Wernicke's Encephalopathy in pregnancy.

TL;DR: Compared with other causes of preterm delivery, PPROM is associated with a clear excess risk of neonatal morbidity and mortality only in cases of intrauterine infection and is linked to higher rates of in utero fetal death, early neonatal infection, and necrotizing enterocolitis.

TL;DR: A review of systematic reviews on the effectiveness and safety of primary and secondary preterm birth prevention interventions found only a few interventions have been demononstrated to be effective, including cerclage, progesterone, low dose aspirin, and lifestyle and behavioural changes.

TL;DR: A review looking at general aspects of consanguinity and any published reproductive outcomes in literature and possible future directions that could be relevant in the management of the consanguineous couple to help improve reproductive outcomes found it may be possible to mitigate some of the adverse reproductive outcomes associated with Consanguinity.

TL;DR: Vitrification is superior to conventional freezing methods in preservation of spermatozoa, regarding total and progressive motility and the efficacy of vitrification is influence by using different vitrification protocol and cryopreservation of different quality spermatozosa, according to the results of meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Interestingly, washed groups had better sperm parameters than unwashed groups so that washing process before frozen seemed to improve sperm parameters, and spermatozoa undergoing vitrification were healthier regarding morphology with less defects than conventional freezing.

TL;DR: This paper presents this evidence and plead for a broader vision on, and use of other evidence than randomised clinical trials solely, the preventive role of mediolateral episiotomy with regard to the occurrence of OASIS.

TL;DR: Collagen changes, including content, morphologic and biomechanical changes and catabolism abnormalities, can destroy the supportive function of the pelvic floor and are closely related to the development of pelvic organ prolapse.

TL;DR: Symptomatic vaginal bleeding and postmenopausal status in women with endometrial polyps increased the risk of malignancy, which could be useful evidence to select patients who need to undergo hysteroscopic resection of endometrian polyps and women to whom, instead, an expectant management can be offer.

TL;DR: Survition analyses demonstrate significantly better progression free survival and overall survival when optimal cytoreduction is achieved, and a prospective, multicentre study is recommended to establish conclusive evidence.

TL;DR: Evaluated immunohistochemical expression of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, the angiogenetic factors VEGF and PlGF, and the epithelial factors HGF, c-Met and STAT3 in placental samples of pregnancies complicated by early-onset preeclampsia found they contribute to placental dysfunctions.

TL;DR: Simulators are necessary for the development of the skills required to meet the specific needs of endoscopic surgery in the 21st century and Teaching hospitals should introduce simulation training programmes in order to increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve patient safety.

TL;DR: UTV-CS risk factors are consistent with factors related to milder bladder injuries, and Prompt diagnosis and surgical repair seem to allow avoiding severe complications and recovery of a normal urological function even in UTV- CS.

TL;DR: PSS seems to be a feasible approach for endometrial cancer staging and larger experiences and prospective comparative studies are important to assess the assumptions and further investigate the real benefits of percutaneous surgical system.

TL;DR: Warm compresses applied during the second stage of labor increase the incidence of intact perineum and lower the risk of episiotomy and severe perineal trauma.

TL;DR: The main reason for the wide range of published diagnostic accuracy figures, arises from the use of two different methods of assessing the output of colposcopist, which should be used when assessing patient management.

TL;DR: Exposure to somephthalate-containing pharmaceutical drugs during third trimester is associated with preterm birth and no associations were found between orthophthalate or phthalate polymer exposure and SGA.

TL;DR: This is the first feasibility study of a telemonitoring platform, combining remote monitoring of BP with preeclampsia symptoms in pregnancy care, and this system is potentially very useful in care for women at risk for hypertensive disorders during pregnancy.

TL;DR: Progestin therapy with D or N appears to be effective in reducing the size of endometriomas and related symptoms, with a greater effect on symptoms relief and higher tolerability in women treated with D.

TL;DR: Adequate gestational weight gain was associated with better outcomes and the results suggest that the IOM guidelines for twin pregnancy are appropriate and therefore should be routinely used.

TL;DR: The historical and scientific basis of antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) therapy is described to improve the management of preterm birth and decreasing rates of respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis and perinatal mortality in premature infants.

TL;DR: Specific complications may occur directly related to the use of stoma in the surgery of deep endometriosis of the rectosigmoid, which associated resection may increase the risk of postoperative complications.

TL;DR: It is vital that a validated childbirth-related perineal trauma diagnostic tool and core outcome set are developed for use in future studies to facilitate improved diagnosis and treatment and reduce long term morbidities of women affected by childbirth- related perineAL trauma wound infection and dehiscence.

TL;DR: In women with primary reproductive failure and T-shaped uterus, hysteroscopic metroplasty seems to be effective to improve reproductive outcomes.

TL;DR: Pooled data showed that women who received gabapentin prior to cesarean delivery had significantly lower VAS pain scores at 24 h on movement, and there was no significant between-group difference in use of additional pain medications, supplemental opioids, and maternal or neonatal side effects.

TL;DR: Insufficient use of critical elements of obstetric resuscitation identifies the need for enhanced obstetric emergency training for obstetric and non-obstetric first responders.

TL;DR: Pregnancy rate did not significantly differ between the groups though there was a trend favoring TL selection and the time-lapse score based on morphologic and kinetic parameters was significantly higher for blastocysts that implanted vs. those that did not.

TL;DR: A cohort study associated leptin and nephatin-1 with HG, whereas a cross-sectional study found no association between H. pylori infection and HG, and more studies of high quality and adequate sample size have to be carried out to identify the predictive factors for HG.

TL;DR: Pregnant women exposed to irradiant diagnostic procedures do not present a higher risk of malformations, miscarriage, in utero fetal death or fetal growth restriction and should be reassured, even if the examination focused on the pelvis.

TL;DR: The diagnostic accuracy of ovarian immobility for disease location in women with isolated SE showed a high specificity and NPV, but poor sensitivity and PPV, suggesting that ipsilateral pelvic sidewall SE is less likely to be present inWomen with a mobile ovary (in the absence of endometrioma or DE).
