Primary intestinal type mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ovary diagnosed during pregnancy - Maternal and neonatal treatment and outcomes: A case report.

The incidence of ovarian cancer during pregnancy is low. Most adnexal tumors removed during pregnancy are benign, with ovarian carcinomas found in approximately 1: 10,000-1: 50,000 pregnancies. Literature on this disease is scarce and consists mostly of retrospective studies and case reports.

Bacteriuria in Pregnant Adolescents and Behavioral Risk Factors: A Cross-Sectional Study at a Brazilian Teaching Hospital.

Introduction: Bacteriuria during pregnancy is a frequent and important cause of morbidity and complications. Data on its occurrence in pregnant adolescents are still scarce.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary teaching hospital in São Paulo, Brazil.

Urinary Bacterial Profile and Antibiotic Susceptibility in Pregnant Adolescents and Pregnant Low Obstetric Risk Adult Women.

Introduction: Significant bacteriuria is associated with clinical and obstetric complications. The existing studies on the profile of urinary pathogens in pregnant women have widely divergent results and they hardly include data on pregnant adolescents.

Methods: This observational retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in the city of São Paulo with 388 pregnant adolescents and 2547 pregnant low-risk obstetric care adults who began prenatal care between January 2010 and January 2016.

Cancer During Pregnancy: The Oncologist Overview.

Although a rare and challenging condition, cancer during pregnancy should promptly be identified and treated. Not only standards of care guidelines for the underlying disease are taken into account, but also fetal safety might be weighted for clinical decisions. Frequent lack of experience and knowledge about this condition could lead to late diagnosis, imprecise management, suboptimal treatment and fetal and maternal harm.

Risk assessment of venous thromboembolism and thromboprophylaxis in pregnant women hospitalized with cancer: Preliminary results from a risk score.

Objectives: Hospitalized patients with cancer are at high risk of developing venous thromboembolism, and the risk increases with pregnancy. The aim of this study was to apply a thromboprophylaxis protocol with a venous thromboembolism risk score for hospitalized pregnant women with cancer and to evaluate the effects on maternal morbidity and mortality.

Methods: A longitudinal and prospective study was conducted from December 2014 to July 2016.

Gestational Tubal Choriocarcinoma Presenting as a Pregnancy of Unknown Location following Ovarian Induction.

The management of pregnancy of unknown location (PUL) can be a challenging situation, since it can present as several different conditions. Here we describe a rare case of gestational choriocarcinoma arising in the fallopian tube after ovarian induction in an infertile patient. The patient received clomiphene for ovarian induction and had rising levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) over nine months without sign of pregnancy.

Prenatal natural history of isolated fetal mild bilateral pyelectasis.

Objective: To analyze the prenatal outcomes in a cohort of fetuses with mild bilateral pyelectasis and determine whether performing serial ultrasounds is a good follow-up strategy.

Methods: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted on 62 fetuses with mild bilateral pyelectasis. Fetal mild bilateral pyelectasis was considered when the renal pelvis measured (in millimeters) ≥5.

Is Doppler ultrasound useful for evaluating gestational trophoblastic disease?

Unlabelled: Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive method for evaluating vascularization and is widely used in clinical practice. Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia includes a group of highly vascularized malignancies derived from placental cells. This review summarizes data found in the literature regarding the applications of Doppler ultrasound in managing patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.
