Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether the events of October 7, 2023, in Israel affected IVF outcomes by comparing women treated after that date with a control group treated prior.
- The researchers included 580 patients, assessing factors like age, BMI, and IVF cycle number, and found no significant differences in pregnancy rates or embryo quality between the groups.
- The results suggest that the 'October 7' events did not have an impact on the success of IVF treatments, as outcomes remained largely consistent.
Introduction And Hypothesis: To examine a common assumption that suturing of episiotomy, a straight performer-controlled incision, might be easier compared to repair of unpredictable spontaneous perineal tears.
Methods: Data for this study were collected prospectively, as part of a randomized controlled trial examining the outcomes of episiotomy avoidance. Suturing characteristics were compared between vaginal deliveries with episiotomy vs.
Objectives: To apply fetal midbrain (MB) and hindbrain (HB) nomograms, developed using three-dimensional multiplanar sonographic reconstruction (3D-MPR) in the mid-sagittal cranial plane, to fetuses with known posterior fossa malformations.
Methods: In this retrospective study we examined sonographic volumes obtained by sagittal acquisition in 43 fetuses diagnosed with posterior fossa abnormalities and evaluated in the mid-sagittal cranial plane, using 3D-MPR, the following: MB parameters tectal length (TL) and anteroposterior midbrain diameter (APMD), and HB parameters anteroposterior pons diameter (APPD), superoinferior vermian diameter (SIVD) and anteroposterior vermian diameter (APVD). Fetuses were grouped, according to malformation, into eight categories: cobblestone malformation complex (CMC, n = 3), Chiari-II malformation (C-II, n = 7), pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH, n = 2), rhombencephalosynapsis (RES, n = 4), Dandy-Walker malformation (n = 8), vermian dysgenesis (VD, n = 7), persistent Blake's pouch cyst (n = 6) and megacisterna magna (n = 6).
Objective: To construct nomograms for fetal midbrain (MB) and hindbrain (HB) dimensions, assessed in the mid-sagittal cranial plane by three-dimensional multiplanar sonographic reconstruction (3D-MPR).
Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study of 334 healthy fetuses in low-risk singleton pregnancies between 16 and 35 gestational weeks. All sonographic volumes were obtained by sagittal acquisition.
