Mode of Delivery and Neonatal Outcome in Adolescent Pregnancy (13-16 Years Old) Associated with Anemia.

Background: Adolescent pregnancy represents an important public-health problem due to its maternal and fetal outcomes. Adolescent patients are predisposed to multiple obstetrical complications, including anemia and preterm birth which has a higher incidence among this population; withal, in the specialty literature, anemia is considered to be a risk factor for preterm delivery; furthermore, multiple studies have demonstrated that a very young age is an independent risk factor for preterm birth. Objectives: The study aims to reveal if anemia during adolescent pregnancy has a negative impact on the time and mode of delivery and newborns’ outcomes.

Psycho-Emotional Impact of Anomaly Ultrasound Scan in Romanian Pregnant Women.

Objective: Second-trimester anomaly scan was introduced as a regulated practice in Romania in 2019, causing misperceptions and unrealistic expectations about this examination among pregnant women. This study aimed to assess whether second trimester anomaly scan is a reason "per se" for maternal anxiety.

Design: A prospective type 1 cohort study was conducted in a tertiary prenatal diagnosis center with three locations in Bucharest, Romania, among pregnant women who underwent a second trimester anomaly scan between 1 December 2019 and 29 February 2020.

The Relationship between the Soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products and Oxidative Stress in Patients with Palmoplantar Warts.

Background And Objectives: Warts are the most common lesions caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Recent research suggests that oxidative stress and inflammation are involved in the pathogenesis of HPV-related lesions. It has been shown that the soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) may act as a protective factor against the deleterious effects of inflammation and oxidative stress, two interconnected processes.
