Introduction: Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors are rare tumors of the ovary. Moderate and poorly differentiated tumors can metastasize and have a poor outcome. A pathogenic variant in is associated with an increased risk of developing these tumors along with other clinical phenotypes.

Several treatment strategies are followed to improve the overall outcome and minimize surgical stress. Glucocorticoids provide significant analgesic and antiemetic effects but their role in reducing inflammatory stress in a fast-track, multi-modal setting in patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery remains to be investigated in details.

The studies found a high interest in easy accessibility and respect for privacy. Science-based information and facilitation of knowledge about all contraceptives were desired.

Methods: This was a follow-up study of a cohort with normal and borderline OGTT in 1991/1992. Among the original 352 women, only five were lost to follow-up.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with a number of complications, including developmental disorders in the child but the specific association is unclear. The purpose of this review is to summarize the latest knowledge about the association between GDM and one of the developmental disorders, namely autism spectrum disorder (ASF) in the child. Large cohort studies found that GDM increases the risk of ASF in the child, and that the risk increases the earlier the mother is diagnosed with GDM.

The aim of this study was to examine the diagnostic flow among women with postmenopausal bleeding.
Methods: Data were collected and analysed from 362 women at Sygehus Sønderjylland referred with the International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition, diagnosis "DN950 postmenopausal bleeding" from 2015 to 2019.
Spontaneous labor should not be included in the intervention group when discussing induction of labor vs expectant management in post‐term pregnancies.

Several interventional trials showed that application of a care bundle involving a hands-on approach to perineal protection may reduce the risk of OASI. Previously, we found that only the element "hand on the fetal head" in itself was protective, although the risk of a type 2 error was calculated to be 50%.

In this review, it is shown that self-testing with a urine human chorionic gonadotropin stix (detection limit greater than 25 IU/l) four weeks after administration of medication is a safe, practical, and cheap method to determine successful termination.

Methods: Six databases were searched for quantitative, qualitative or mixed-methods systematic reviews. All types of interventions or screening programmes were eligible.
To evaluate the incidence and timing of the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in a cohort of Danish women after a pregnancy with gestational diabetes (GDM) to estimate the optimum time for preventative actions in relation to metabolic syndrome (MetS). In this follow-up study, 435 women were included from a consecutive cohort with prior history of GDM. Data on dyslipidemia, hypertension and other cardiovascular disorders (CVD) were extracted from the electronic patient journal.

Objective: In the last decade, there has been an increased interest in exploring the impact of the physical birth environment on midwifery practice and women's birth experiences. This study is based on the hypothesis that the environment for birth needs greater attention to improve some of the existing challenges in modern obstetric practice, for example the increasing use of augmentation and number of interventions during delivery.
Study Design: A randomized controlled trial was carried out to study the effect of giving birth in a specially designed "birth environment room" on the use of augmentation during labor.
Purpose: The aim was to follow-up two cohorts of women with GDM to investigate the incidence and time of diagnosis of manifest diabetes mellitus (DM) postpartum and identify the risk factors for diabetes in our population.
Methods: A follow-up study on two independent cohorts having oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in 1991/1992 and 2011-2016: Cohort 1 consisted of 406 women including 54 with GDM and 352 with a non-GDM OGTT-test and cohort 2 had 433 women diagnosed with GDM. The first cohort had nearly 25 years of follow-up and gave information on magnitude, conversion rate and type of diabetes manifestation.
Introduction: We aimed to describe sexual behaviour and knowledge about sexually transmitted infections (STI) among Danish adolescents stratified by gender and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination status.
Methods: We conducted a questionnaire study in Viborg Municipality, Denmark. A validated questionnaire was sent to all ninth-grade pupils without prior notice to either teachers or pupils.

Introduction: In the last decade, there has been an increased interest in exploring the impact of the physical birth environment on birth outcomes. The birth environment might have an important role in facilitating the production of the hormone oxytocin that causes contractions during labour. Oxytocin is released in a safe, secure and confidence-inducing environment, and environments focused on technology and medical interventions to achieve birth may disrupt the production of oxytocin and slow down the progress of labour.

Clinical manifestations of hyperandrogenism include virilisation with hirsutism, vocal change, increased muscle mass, hypertrophy of clitoris and alopecia. Definitive diagnosis is made by histopathologic examination, and the most common diagnoses are granulosa cell tumour, ovarian stromal hyperplasia and Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour.

She had had a failed attempt of cephalic version two weeks before delivery, and her baby's weight was checked regularly in third term. Unicorn uterus is associated with a higher risk of spontaneous abortions, infertility, preterm labour, foetal malpresentation, low birth weight, caesarean delivery and renal malformations.

Study Design: A total of 151 women with type 1 diabetes mellitus were recruited for repeat 24-h BP recordings thrice during pregnancy and once three months post partum. Fifty women without diabetes served as controls.
Purpose: Information about the perioperative incontinence following hysterectomy is limited. To advance the postoperative rehabilitation further we need more information about qualitative changes in incontinence, fatigue and physical function of patients undergoing hysterectomy.
Methods: 108 patients undergoing planned hysterectomy were compared pre- and postoperatively.
Purpose: The cornerstone in treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is medical nutrition therapy (MNT), but the effect on birth weight is disputed. The birth weight was evaluated with respect to length of MNT and adherence to diet.
Methods: We performed a cohort study on 436 women with GDM and 254 non-diabetic women.
Vitamin C (vitC) is essential for normal pregnancy and fetal development and poor vitC status has been related to complications of pregnancy. We have previously shown lower vitC status in diabetic women throughout pregnancy compared to that of non-diabetic controls. Here, we evaluate the relationship between vitC status late in diabetic pregnancy in relation to fetal outcome, complications of pregnancy, diabetic characteristics, and glycemic control based on data of 47 women from the same cohort.
