Pregnancy outcomes post-kidney transplantation across 23 years.

Background: Pregnancy in kidney transplant recipients has become increasingly common. However, pregnancy carries higher risks to these patients compared to the general population.

Aims: To describe pregnancy outcomes in kidney transplant recipients.

Renal transplant injury at caesarean delivery: A cautionary tale and a plan for the future.

Pregnancy following renal transplantation is increasingly common. Overall pregnancy outcomes are favourable; however, specific transplant-related risks do exist. In particular, the risk of caesarean delivery is much higher in renal transplant recipients when compared to the general obstetric population.

Intramuscular versus intravenous oxytocin to prevent postpartum haemorrhage at vaginal delivery: randomised controlled trial.

Objective: To determine whether intravenous oxytocin is more effective than intramuscular oxytocin at preventing postpartum haemorrhage at vaginal delivery.

Design: Double blind placebo controlled randomised trial.

Setting: University affiliated maternity unit in the Republic of Ireland.

Risk reduction surgery (RRS) for tubo-ovarian cancer in an Irish gynaecological practice: an analysis of indications and outcomes.

Background: High-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) is the most common tubo-ovarian cancer. The fallopian tube harbours the precursor lesion: serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC). Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is an effective risk-reducing surgical (RRS) strategy for breast cancer susceptibility gene mutation carriers (BRCAm).

Two Uneventful Pregnancies in a Woman with Glutaric Aciduria Type 1.

Glutaric aciduria type 1 (GA1) is an autosomal recessive rare disorder caused by mutations in the GCDH gene resulting in deficiency of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase, leading to accumulation of the amino acids lysine, hydroxylysine and tryptophan and other metabolites. The phenotypic spectrum of disease is broad. Stress caused by infection and fever and possibly pregnancy may lead to worsening of the signs and symptoms, often with uncertain recovery.
