Article Synopsis
- Obstructive ureterocele is a condition where the distal end of the ureter expands cystically, often linked with severe lack of amniotic fluid and kidney dilation.
- This study involved a review of cases diagnosed with ureterocele before 26 weeks of gestation, highlighting the use of ultrasound-guided laser ablation for treatment.
- Out of six cases, two underwent successful fetal surgery, leading to improved amniotic fluid levels and allowing pregnancies to reach term, although one neonate faced a tragic outcome due to asphyxia.
Objective: Determine the value of the combination of fasting glucose less than the 10th percentile (FG < p10) during 75 gram oral glucose tolerance test (75g OGTT) with maternal characteristics to predict low birth weight (LBW) established by Intergrowth-21st tables.
Methods: Prospective cohort study of pregnant women who was underwent 75g OGTT between 24 and 28.6 weeks.
Heterotopic pregnancy refers to the simultaneous presence of ectopic pregnancy and intrauterine pregnancy. With the advent of assisted reproductive technology, the overall incidence of heterotopic pregnancies has risen. We report a case of a 36-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 1-year of primary infertility.
