Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine the success rate of Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC) in women at a hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo who had a previous cesarean section and waited at least 18 months for their next pregnancy.
- - Out of 231 women who attempted VBAC, 57.6% were successful, with factors like higher Bishop scores and spontaneous labor positively influencing success, while larger babies (macrosomic fetuses) decreased the likelihood of a successful VBAC.
- - The findings suggest that successful VBAC is feasible in more than half of cases, but additional assessments of Bishop scores and labor onset at hospital arrival can help manage risks and improve outcomes.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) induced bronchiolitis is a common lung infection and a major cause of infant hospitalization and mortality. Unfortunately, there is no known cure for RSV but several vaccines are in various stages of clinical trials. Currently, immunoprophylaxis is a preventative measure consisting of a series of monthly shots that should be administered at the start, and throughout, peak RSV season.

Using laboratory-confirmed data from a Utah-based healthcare provider, Intermountain Health Care, we analyzed the time-specific patterns of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza A, influenza B, human metapneumovirus, rhinovirus, and enterovirus circulation from 2004 to 2018, using descriptive methods and wavelet analysis ( = 89,462) on a local level. The results showed that RSV virus dynamics in Utah were the most consistent of any of the viruses studied, and that the other seasonal viruses were generally in synchrony with RSV, except for enterovirus (which mostly occurs late summer to early fall) and influenza A and B during pandemic years.
