Pregnancy and neonatal outcomes among a cohort of HIV-infected women in a large Italian teaching hospital: a 30-year retrospective study.

The primary study objective was to investigate three decades from 1985 to 2014 of changes in pregnancies among HIV-infected women. The secondary objective was to assess risk factors associated with preterm delivery and severe small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants in HIV-infected women. A retrospective review of deliveries among pregnant HIV-infected women at the University of Genoa and IRCCS San Martino-IST in Genoa between 1985 and 2014 was performed.

Use of raltegravir in a late presenter HIV-1 woman in advanced gestational age: case report and literature review.

Vertical transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) represents an important worldwide health problem and rapid decline in viral load is essential for HIV pregnant women to prevent mother to child transmission. Specific issues such as late presentation of pregnant HIV-infected women remain a clinical challenge. We present a case of an HIV-infected woman who presented to our hospital at 35 weeks of pregnancy, who was successfully treated with raltegravir-based first-line combined antiretroviral regimen.

The risk of premalignant and malignant pathology in endometrial polyps: should every polyp be resected?

Aim: There is no wide consensus in the literature on the clinical significance and management of symptomatic and asymptomatic polyps. Aims of the study are to evaluate frequency of premalignant and malignant histo-pathologic features in endometrial polyps resected hysteroscopically and identify clinical parameters able to predict final histopathologic diagnosis.

Methods: Clinical data and pathologic report of 90 consecutive operative hysteroscopies performed on women with endometrial polyps were collected.
