Antibiotic Recommendations After Postpartum Uterine Exploration or Instrumentation.

Importance: Multiple postpartum scenarios require uterine exploration or instrumentation. These may introduce bacteria into the uterus, increasing the risk of endometritis. Data on the use of antibiotics in these scenarios is limited, resulting in few guidelines and divergent care.

Validation of a sonographic checklist for the detection of histologic placenta accreta spectrum.

Background: To standardize research terminology and to reduce unanticipated placenta accreta spectrum, the European Working Group for Abnormally Invasive Placenta developed a consensus checklist for reporting suspected placenta accreta spectrum observed during an antenatal ultrasound. The diagnostic accuracy of the European Working Group for Abnormally Invasive Placenta checklist has not been assessed.

Objective: This study aimed to test the performance of the European Working Group for Abnormally Invasive Placenta sonographic checklist in predicting histologic placenta accreta spectrum.

Maternal mid-upper arm circumference to predict small for gestational age: Findings in a Zambian cohort.

Objective: To compare the performance of mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) and body mass index (BMI) for prediction of small for gestational age (SGA) in Zambia.

Methods: This is a secondary analysis of an ongoing clinical cohort that included women with a single gestation and MUAC measured before 24 weeks of pregnancy. We assessed relationships between maternal MUAC and birth weight centile using regression.

Physical activity and pregnancy outcomes: an expert review.

This expert review aimed to assess current literature on the effect and tracking of physical activity during pregnancy and associated outcomes. Self-reported physical activity may be inaccurate given the subjective nature of the questionnaires. The accelerometer ActiGraph is considered the "gold standard" to objectively measure physical activity.

Thriving in scrubs: a qualitative study of resident resilience.

Background: Physician well-being impacts both doctors and patients. In light of high rates of physician burnout, enhancing resilience is a priority. To inform effective interventions, educators need to understand how resilience develops during residency.

Uterocervical angle: a novel ultrasound screening tool to predict spontaneous preterm birth.

Background: Mechanical alteration of the cervical angle has been proposed to reduce spontaneous preterm birth. Performance of the uterocervical angle as measured by ultrasound for predicting spontaneous preterm birth is poorly understood.

Objective: We sought to determine whether a novel ultrasonographic marker, uterocervical angle, correlates with risk of spontaneous preterm birth in a general population.
