Introduction: Prenatal determination of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) and its severity is crucial, as it is a highly morbid condition. The aim was to investigate the intraplacental fetal artery (IFA) as a novel ultrasonographic marker in predicting cesarean-hysterectomy need in PAS.

Methods: A prospective observational cohort study was conducted with a total of 62 women with placenta previa and ≥1 previous cesarean-section who were managed for PAS between September 2022 and January 2024.

Background: Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication requiring early detection to improve outcomes. Profilin-1 (PFN1), linked to vascular dysfunction, may serve as a biomarker for diagnosing preeclampsia and predicting adverse neonatal outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine the serum Profilin-1 levels in patients diagnosed with preeclampsia and to investigate its association with disease severity and adverse neonatal outcomes.

Objectives: As previous studies on the use of a cervical pessary to prevent preterm birth (PTB) have produced conflicting results, we aimed to investigate the feasibility, acceptability and safety of a new technique for inserting a cervical pessary and compare it with the traditional technique in patients at high risk of PTB.

Methods: Women at high risk of PTB treated with a cervical pessary between January 2018 and January 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. After applying exclusion criteria, a total of 68 eligible patients were identified and retrospectively analyzed.

Article Synopsis
  • The European Union is focusing on Sustainable Development Goals to reach net-zero emissions, emphasizing research on climate action and clean energy.
  • The study evaluates low-carbon energy consumption's effects on environmental quality while considering natural resource rents and foreign direct investment, using data from 1996 to 2022.
  • Findings support that EU countries are progressing towards net-zero emissions, low-carbon energy positively impacts ecosystems, but both foreign direct investment and natural resource rents can harm environmental quality, suggesting the need for green policies.
