Objectives: To evaluate the impact of a regulated expiratory method (REM) on the childbirth process.

Methods: This was a randomized trial. Study population included all first-time mothers with a spontaneous onset of labour, at an early stage, and a fetus in cephalic presentation with a normal weight for gestational age.

Introduction And Importance: Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) targets immune cells and exposes infected patients to several diseases. For these reasons, HIV infection should be suspected in each situation where post-operative sepsis occurs, to afford therapy and improve the patient's prognosis.

Case Presentation: We present a case of a pregnant woman at 39 weeks of gestation who missed her prenatal follow-up.

Introduction And Importance: Gigantic borderline ovarian cancer, also known as giant borderline ovarian tumor, is a rare subtype of borderline ovarian cancer. This type of ovarian cyst can be associated to various complication, including superinfection.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 30-year-old woman who sought medical attention due to chronic abdominal pain and a rapid increase in abdominal girth over the past four months.

Objectives: To investigate maternal prenatal anxiety and depression in high-risk pregnancies and examine their influence on maternal-fetal attachment.

Methods: We included 95 hospitalized high-risk pregnant women. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI) were used to assess the primary objective.

Objective: To assess the effect of early amniotomy on labor duration, maternal and neonatal outcomes during induction of labor (IOL).

Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial, conducted over a period of eight months at a monocentric site. Singleton pregnancies in nulliparous and parous patients with cephalic presentation and Bishop score ≥ 6 were enrolled in the study.

Background: Uterine closure technique can affect scar healing, potentially resulting in unfavorable gynecologic and life-threatening obstetrical outcomes. Double-layer continuous unlocked suture has been demonstrated to promote optimal residual myometrial thickness. Recently, the purse-string uterine suture technique has emerged as a viable method to enhance the healing of scars.

Background: With the aim of preventing cesarean scar defects, we introduced a new technique involving a purse string uterine suture. To date, this uterine suture technique has not been formally evaluated. The objective of the study was to test the hypothesis that compared to single layer continuous uterine suture (SLCUS), a double layered purse string uterine suture (PSUS) significantly reduces cesarean scar defect (CSD) rates, without increasing the perioperative maternal morbidity.

Objective: To determine whether the French AmbUlatory Cesarean Section (FAUCS) technique reduces postoperative pain and promotes maternal autonomy compared with the Misgav Ladach cesarean section (MLCS) technique in elective conditions.

Study Design: One hundred pregnant women were randomly, but in a non-blinded manner, assigned to undergo FAUCS or MLCS. The primary outcome was a postoperative mean pain score (PMPS), and secondary outcomes were a combined pain/medication score, time to regain autonomy, surgical duration, calculated blood loss, surgical complications, and neonatal outcome.

Background: The current international context considers birth experiences as a focal point for women's health. However, this subject is rarely discussed in Tunisian literature.

Aim: Analyze birth experience of a sample of Tunisian women.

Introduction: markers in breast cancer stem cells, such as cluster of differentiation 10 (CD10), would be correlated with invasive and metastatic potential of several types of cancer, contributing to tumor growth and metastases. In patients with breast cancer, its prognostic value is still controversial, given the discrepancy of results. The purpose of the study was to study CD10 expression in stromal cells of patients with breast cancer as well as to evaluate the prognostic value of this expression.

Objective: To evaluate mother and newborn child safety after French ambulatory cesarean (FAUCS).

Methods: Prospective comparative cohort study in Tunisia (January-June 2018). Pregnant women indicated for primary or repeat cesarean at term underwent FAUCS or Misgav Ladach cesarean (MLC).

Uterine arteriovenous malformation (UAVM) is uncommon. They are usually acquired, due to previous intra uterine trauma. We report a case of acquired UAVM in a 28-years-old patient after a medical abortion, diagnosed with ultrasonography and successfully managed with uterine artery embolization.

Objective: To compare Transperineal (TP) and Transabdominal (TA) ultrasound in the assessment of fetal head position during the second stage of labor.

Method: A prospective comparative Study including low risk parturients. The assessment of fetal head position was performed for each patient at full dilation.

Background: Preterm delivery is the major cause of adverse outcomes in twin pregnancy.  A shortened cervix at 20-24 weeks of amenorrhea is a good predictor of preterm birth in asymptomatic patients. However, there are no recommendations for serial cervical length measurements for these high risk pregnancies.

Ultrasound is a valuable tool commonly used in the delivery room. It has multiple applications. The objective of this study was to investigate whether systematic fetal weight estimation by ultrasound in the delivery room increases the risk of cesarean delivery.

Background: Ultrasonography is an essential tool in the management of twin pregnancies. Fetal weight estimation is useful to anticipate neonatal care in case of weight restriction or growth discordance.

Aims: To assess the accuracy of estimated fetal weight (EFW) in twins and to assess the accuracy of sonographic examination to predict birth weight discordance (BWD) and small birth weight (SBW).

The gold standard for cervical length (CL) assessment is transvaginal ultrasound scan (TVUS). Transperineal ultrasound scan (TPUS) is an alternative route to CL measurement, which may be more acceptable to women. The primary outcome of this study was to investigate the reliability of TPUS performed by obstetrical team on duty in case of preterm labour (PL) and to compare transperineal to transvaginal CL measurements as a reference.
