IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COMPLICATIONS OF EARLY PREGNANCY AND BIOMETEOROLOGICAL FORECAST?

The aim of our study was to connect the possible complications of early pregnancy (miscarriage and symptomatic ectopic pregnancy) up to the 12 week of gestation with biometeorological conditions while assuming a greater number of incidents with an unfavorable biometeorological forecast. We performed a retrospective observational study using medical data of a single medical center of Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Sveti Duh University Hospital and meteorological data from the Croatian Meteorological and Hydrometeorological Service in Zagreb. We tracked the number of visits to the gynecology and obstetrics emergency unit on a daily basis during 2017.

Transvaginally surgically treatment of early postpartum hemorrhage caused by lower uterine segment atony.

Objectives: Prove the success of transvaginal hemostatic procedures in treatment of the early postpartum hemorrhage caused by lower uterine segment atony.

Methods: We have conducted a retrospective, clinical study during a 10-year period (2010-2019) in our institution that is tertiary perinatal university center.

Results: This particular study enrolled total number of 29,543 deliveries with 215 cases of early postpartum hemorrhage (0.

Effects of lateral episiotomy on the emergence of urinary incontinence during the first postpartum year in primiparas: prospective cohort study.

Aim Of The Study: Lateral episiotomy is a widely used procedure, although it is rarely mentioned in the literature and its effects on the pelvic floor are largely unexplored. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of lateral episiotomy on the incidence of urinary incontinence (UI) after vaginal delivery in primiparas.

Material And Methods: The study design is a prospective cohort study.

Modified Stark's (Misgav Ladach) caesarean section: 15 - year experience of the own techniques of caesarean section.

Objective: A 15-year-experience of the personal modification of Misgav Ladach (ML) caesarean section in relation to the Dörffler method.

Study Design: A retrospective clinical randomized observational study included 822 transperitoneal cesarean sections: 557 were performed via modified ML (without bladder catheterization, small transverse fascial incision with muscular stretching and non-preparation of vesicouterine plica) vs. 265 Dörffler (Pfannenstiel - Kerr) method.

Potential beneficial role of sevelamer hydrochloride in diabetic retinopathy.

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) experience co-morbid illnesses, including cardiovascular disease and retinopathy. Sevelamer hydrochloride (Renagel®); a non-calcium phosphate binder reduces coronary artery and aortic calcification as compared to calcium containing phosphate binders and additionally effects inflammatory biomarkers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), and lowers LDL cholesterol in patients with CKD. Since retinopathy is proven to be associated with increased coronary calcification, shared pathophysiological processes may contribute to both microvascular and macrovascular disease.

The antimetastatic effect of macrophages restored by indomethacin: concomitant tumor immunity model.

The role of macrophages acting as immunologic antitumor effectors and promoters of tumor growth are poorly understood as yet. We investigated the role of macrophage in model of concomitant immunity (CI), a phenomenon of secondary tumor rejection during the primary tumor growth. It has been shown that the period of CI weakening can coincide with appearance of tumor metastases.

Is hyperthyroidism underestimated in pregnancy and misdiagnosed as hyperemesis gravidarum?

Thyroid changes are considered to be normal events that happen as a large maternal multiorganic adjustment to pregnancy. However, hyperthyroidism occurs in pregnancy with clinical presentation similar to hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and pregnancy itself. Moreover, 10% of women with HG will continue to have symptoms throughout the pregnancy suggesting that the underlying cause might not be elevation of human chorionic gonadotropin in the first trimester.

Pattern and prenatal diagnosis of skeletal dysplasias in Qatar population.

Objective: To determine the pattern of skeletal dysplasias in Qatar population and to assess the accuracy of prenatal diagnosis and prognosis.

Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study of 30 women with high risk for skeletal dysplasias. The recruited women were submitted to clinical assessment, ultrasound scanning using 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional/4-dimensional and colour Doppler technique with possible molecular diagnosis.
