Prolactin and Hyperprolactinaemia in Endometriosis-Related Infertility: Are There Clinically Significant Connections?

Endometriosis and hyperprolactinaemia are conditions that might lead to infertility as a consequence. The aim of this article was to present the current knowledge about possible relationships between prolactin/hyperprolactinaemia and endometriosis-related infertility. Experimental studies on local prolactin acting as cytokine and relationship of prolactin and endometriotic tissue, as well as clinical studies on hyperprolactinaemia and endometriosis-related infertility suggest the possible role of prolactin in endometriosis-related infertility, but final proof is still missing and the exact pathogenesis of infertility in such cases is still under investigation.

Antiplatelet Drugs Use in Pregnancy-Review of the Current Practice and Future Implications.

When clinicians opt for antithrombotic therapy to manage or prevent thrombotic complications during pregnancy, it is imperative to consider the unique physiological state of the pregnant woman's body, which can influence the pharmacokinetics of the drug, its ability to traverse the placental barrier, and its potential teratogenic effects on the fetus. While the efficacy and safety of aspirin during pregnancy have been relatively well-established through numerous clinical studies, understanding the effects of newer, more potent antiplatelet agents has primarily stemmed from individual clinical case reports necessitating immediate administration of potent antiplatelet therapy during pregnancy. This review consolidates the collective experiences of clinicians confronting novel thrombotic complications during pregnancy, often requiring the use of dual antiplatelet therapy.

Currently Available Treatment Modalities for Uterine Fibroids.

Unlabelled: Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas and myomas) are the most common benign gynecological condition in patients presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic masses causing pressure or pain, infertility and obstetric complications. Almost a third of women with fibroids need treatment due to symptoms.

Objectives: In this review we present all currently available treatment modalities for uterine fibroids.

Comparison of Post-Cesarean Pain Perception of General Versus Regional Anesthesia, a Single-Center Study.

: Pain during and after the procedure remains the leading concern among women undergoing cesarean section. Numerous studies have concluded that the type of anesthesia used during a cesarean section undoubtedly affects the intensity and experience of pain after the operation. : This prospective cohort study was conducted at the Clinic for Gynecology and Obstetrics, Clinical Center "Dragisa Misovic-Dedinje", Belgrade, Serbia.

Effect of regional vs general anesthesia on vital functions after cesarean section: a single center experience.

Background: The aim was to determine the effect of regional anesthesia (RA) on postoperative vital functions in contrast to general endotracheal anesthesia (GEA) after the cesarean section.

Methods: Prospective cohort study included consecutive term pregnant women delivered by cesarean section (GEA, n = 284; RA, n = 249).

Results: Higher levels of blood pressure and heart rate, as well as lower levels of pulse oximetry were found for GEA in contrast to RA (p < 0.

Cesarean Scar Pregnancy Successfully Managed to Term: When the Patient Is Determined to Keep the Pregnancy.

Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy, defined as the implantation of the gestational sac at the uterine incision scar of the previous cesarean section. This condition is associated with severe maternal and fetal/neonatal complications, including severe bleeding, rupture of the uterus, fetal demise, or preterm delivery. In view of these, early diagnosis allows the option of termination of pregnancy.
