TL;DR: There is evidence that estrogen therapy decreases risk for coronary heart disease and for hip fracture, but long-term estrogen therapy increases risk for endometrial cancer and may be associated with a small increase in risk for breast cancer.

TL;DR: A simple clinical assessment screen completed by the health care provider in a private setting and with the male partner absent is as effective as research instruments in identifying abused women.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the association between bacterial vaginosis in early pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcome, including preterm labor, preterm birth, and preterm rupture of membranes (PROM).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the pregnancy outcomes of gestational hypertension, low birth weight, fetal death, congenital anomalies, maternal anemia, and postpartum hemorrhage.

TL;DR: In this paper, a cohort of 241 women who presented for evaluation of sexually transmitted disease and had negative cervical cytologic tests were followed every four months with cytologic and colposcopic examinations of the uterine cervix and tests for HPV DNA and other sexually transmitted diseases.

TL;DR: A quantitative assessment of the association between oral contraceptive use and ovarian cancer using results from the published literature found a summary relative risk of 0.64 associated with ever–use of OC, indicating a 36% reduction in ovarian cancer risk.

TL;DR: Compared with vacuum extraction, forceps delivery is associated with significantly more damage to the anal sphincters and hence an increased incidence of defecatory symptoms, and PNTML was not significantly altered by the mode of delivery.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that pre-delivery sera from women with preeclamptic pregnancies had one-half the antioxidant activity compared with women with uncomplicated pregnancies.

TL;DR: Interferon alfa-2a appears to induce the early regression of life-threatening corticosteroid-resistant hemangiomas of infancy.

TL;DR: Birth weight adjusted for gestational age was significantly associated with all lung function measurements, except FEF25-75, and Respiratory symptoms, especially wheeze most days were significant associated with prematurity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared black and white women with regard to urinary incontinence and prolapse and found that black women with mixed symptoms were significantly less likely than white women to have pure GSI (47 versus 74%; P =.05).

TL;DR: White cell immunization in nonpregnant women did not stimulate production of anticardiolipin antibodies and no significant differences were detected between paired samples of sera obtained before and 6 weeks after WBC immunization.

TL;DR: Perinatal outcome is compromised in the pregnancy complicated by chronic medication-dependent asthma, and the extent is variable and is associated with disease severity, as measured by medication requirements.

TL;DR: The data suggest that magnesium sulfate vasodilates the smaller-diameter intracranial vessels distal to the middle cerebral artery and may exert its main effect in the prophylaxis and treatment of eclampsia by relieving cerebral ischemia.

TL;DR: In this article, 40 perimenopausal women with climacteric complaints were randomly allocated to one of two estrogen-progestogen regimens: cyclically cyclically for 3-week periods with 2 mg of estradiol (E2) valerate; during the last 10 days 250 micrograms of levonorgestrel was added.

TL;DR: The frequency of respiratory morbidity in term neonates is influenced by labor and route of delivery, and it is highest when cesarean delivery is performed prior to the onset of labor.

TL;DR: Absence of any pelvic support defect at the 6-week postoperative visit is associated with a 3% likelihood that the patient will require subsequent reconstructive surgery within 2 to 5 years.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of epidural analgesia on fetal temperature in labor, contrasting intrauterine with oral thermometry, was assessed and 5% of fetuses reached a core temperature in excess of 40C in this study.

TL;DR: It is likely that the cells critically involved in collagen degradation during cervical dilatation are not resident fibroblasts but rather polymorphonuclear leukocytes emigrating from blood vessels.

TL;DR: The increase in the risk of breast cancer associated with a high waist-to-hip ratio, low parity, or greater age at first pregnancy is more pronounced among women with a family history of Breast cancer.

TL;DR: In a randomized, double-blind study, 48 women with symptomatic bacterial vaginosis were assigned to receive either 5 g of 2% clindamycin vaginal cream daily or 500 mg metronidazole oral tablets twice a day for 7 days as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Although the majority of in vitro fertilization pregnancies have a satisfactory obstetric outcome, there are a number of increased obstetric risks that may reflect the history of infertility, the relatively high incidence of poor obstetric history, and the lower threshold for obstetric intervention in in vitro fertilizer patients.

TL;DR: In the United States, black infants are twice as likely to die as white infants; this difference reflects both black infants' higher rates of low birth weight and the higher mortality among black infants of normal birth weight.

TL;DR: Among women seropositive for HIV who had SIL on a Papanicolaou smear, colposcopic and histologic findings were predicted reliably by the cytologic smear.

TL;DR: Findings support the concept that IL‐5 and IL‐6 but not IL‐1 are associated with endometriosis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated whether transvaginal Doppler ultrasound is more valid than trans-vaginal sonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and CA 125 in differentiating malignant from benign ovarian tumors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted to determine whether the addition of a low dose of oral estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) taken daily can prevent the bone loss associated with continuous GnRH analogue use.

TL;DR: Education and occupation were found to influence the prevalence, type and regularity of abuse and their children witnessing the abuse and wife battering has been found to be very prevalent in Nigeria.
