Routine maneuvers in eutocic breech vaginal delivery at term: A prospective cohort study.
Int J Gynaecol Obstet
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the neonatal and maternal outcomes of routine maneuvers during breech vaginal deliveries at term through a secondary analysis of a multicenter study in France and Belgium.
- A total of 1,163 women were compared between those who had routine maneuvers and those who did not, with similar adverse perinatal outcomes in both groups (4.5% vs 5.0%).
- The findings suggested that routine maneuvers did not lead to increased neonatal morbidity, with factors like being a first-time mother and low birth weight being linked to adverse outcomes.
Objectives: To evaluate whether the quality scores validated for second-trimester ultrasound scan can be used for third-trimester ultrasound scan.
Methods: Prospective multicenter ancillary study using data from the RECRET study. Nulliparous women, with no reported history, with second- and third-trimester ultrasound examinations performed by the same ultrasonographer and using the same ultrasound machine were recruited.
Article Synopsis
- Megacystis-microcolon-intestinal-hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) is a rare genetic disorder causing severe abdominal swelling, a small colon, and reduced movement in the intestines, often linked to mutations in the ACTG2 gene.
- Recent findings have also identified additional mutations in other genes such as MYH11, MYLK, and a potential new gene PDCL3 that may be involved in the condition.
- Research on five patients revealed multiple genetic variants, including a complete absence of PDCL3 expression in affected individuals, suggesting it plays an important role in the disorder due to its involvement in smooth muscle contractility.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to evaluate if the side (right or left) of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) influences the survival chances of newborns in intensive care.
- Analyzed data from 506 cases showed a higher survival rate for left CDH (74%) compared to right CDH (49%), but the side alone wasn’t directly linked to increased mortality after accounting for other factors.
- Key findings indicated that liver herniation and lung-to-head ratio are significant predictors of mortality, while the laterality of CDH did not significantly affect survival rates after adjustments.
Maternal complications induced by digoxin treatment of fetal tachycardia: A retrospective series of 18 cases.
J Gynecol Obstet Hum Reprod
February 2018
Objective: To evaluate maternal tolerance to digoxin, used alone or associated to other antiarrhythmic drugs in the management of fetal tachycardia.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at Rouen University Hospital between January 2009 and July 2016. All women who have received a treatment by either digoxin alone or associated with another antiarrhythmic drug for fetal tachycardia were included in the study.
