Objective: We aimed to investigate whether the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) may assist in the prediction of post CS infections.
Study Design: This was a case control study performed at the Soroka University Medical Center, a large tertiary teaching medical center, between the years 2012-2016. Cases (post CS infection) were matched to controls (without post CS infection) in a proportion of 2:1.
Objective: To compare prevalence and risk factors for urinary tract infection (UTI) following midurethral sling surgery with either the GYNECARE ABBREVO Continence System (Ethicon, Somerville, NJ, USA) or a standard transobturator.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among women who underwent midurethral sling surgery to treat stress urinary incontinence at a single tertiary hospital in Israel between January 1, 2014, and August 11, 2015. Data were retrieved from medical records.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of urinary tract infection (UTI) one year following sub-midurethral sling (SMUS) incontinence surgery in a university affiliated medical center in southern Israel.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to identify and characterize patients who suffered UTI within a year following SMUS surgery. The study population comprised of all patients who underwent a SMUS surgery between the years 2014 and 2015.
Objective: To determine whether fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring categories during the 1st and 2nd stage of labor can predict arterial cord pH <7.2.
Materials And Methods: A case control study was conducted including 653 consecutive term deliveries (37 weeks gestation and above) that were divided according to fetal pH ≤ 7.
Objective: To investigate fetal gender and its influences on neonatal outcomes, taking into consideration the available tools for the assessment of fetal well-being.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study comparing maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes according to fetal gender, in women carrying a singleton gestation. A multivariate analysis was performed for the prediction of adverse neonatal outcomes according to fetal gender, after adjustment for gestational age, maternal age and fetal weight.
