Pregnancy outcomes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus by models of care: a retrospective cohort study.

Objective: To compare birth outcomes of women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with background obstetric population, stratified by models of care.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: A tertiary referral centre in Sydney, Australia.

Aspirin and pre-eclampsia prevention in women with pre-existing diabetes: a retrospective study.

Background: Aspirin is routinely prescribed in high-risk pregnancies to prevent pre-eclampsia; however, there is a paucity of data in women with pre-existing diabetes.

Aims: To assess the efficacy and safety of aspirin in women with pre-existing diabetes in preventing pre-eclampsia.

Methods: A retrospective review of women with pre-existing diabetes who attended antenatal clinics in a tertiary referral hospital between 2013 and 2019 was conducted.

The management of severe pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome in a twin pregnancy with a known morbidly adherent placenta: A case report.

Introduction: Morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) is a rare obstetric complication, especially in cases of multiple gestation. We present a case of MAP complicating a dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twin pregnancy requiring delivery by emergency cesarean hysterectomy at 30 + 2 weeks of gestation.

Case Presentation: A 36-year-old woman, G3P2, with a DCDA twin pregnancy and known MAP presented to the labour ward at 30 + 2 weeks of gestation with evidence of pre-eclampsia and fulminating HELLP syndrome.

Depletion of Langerhans cells in human papillomavirus type 16-infected skin is associated with E6-mediated down regulation of E-cadherin.

Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) is an oncogenic virus that causes persistent infections in cervical epithelium. The chronic nature of HPV16 infections suggests that this virus actively evades the host immune response. Intraepithelial Langerhans cells (LC) are antigen-presenting cells that are critical in T-cell priming in response to viral infections of the skin.
