Discharge medication delivery location and postpartum blood pressure control in patients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

Objective: This study examined whether use of bedside medication delivery (Meds to Beds, M2B) or on-campus pharmacy at discharge was associated with improved postpartum blood pressure (BP) control compared to outside pharmacy use in patients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP).

Study Design: This was a secondary analysis of 357 patients with HDP enrolled in STAMPP-HTN (Systematic Treatment and Management of Postpartum Hypertension Program) who were discharged from delivery admission with antihypertensives between October 2018 and June 2020. Patients were grouped by discharge medication location: M2B/on-campus pharmacy (on-site) versus outside pharmacy (off-site).

Cost-effective fetal lung volumetry for assessment of congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

Objectives: (1) To investigate the reproducibility of total fetal lung volume (TFLV) measurements using a free 3D modeling software (3DSlicer); (2) To correlate these measurements with lung-to-head ratio (LHR) or TFLV measured using PACS and; (3) To determine the role of 3DSlicer in predicting perinatal outcomes in cases with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) who had fetal tracheal occlusion (FETO).

Methods: Retrospective cohort study between 2012 and 2017 at Texas Children's Hospital (2011-2017), including all patients who underwent FETO for CDH. LHR was measured by ultrasound and TFLV was measured by MRI at the time of referral and 6 weeks after FETO using 3DSlicer and PACS.

Effects of clitoral reconstruction for female genital mutilation on perinatal outcomes: A retrospective case-control study.

Objectives: To investigate the perinatal outcomes of women with a history of female genital mutilation (FGM) who underwent clitoral reconstruction (CR) compared with women with FGM who did not undergo CR.

Material And Methods: Retrospective case-control study at Angers University Hospital, between 2005 and 2017.

Inclusion Criteria: pregnant women >18 years who underwent CR after FGM.

Benefits of an oocyte pickup simulation training program using a high-fidelity simulator (PickUpSim) for obstetrics and gynaecology residents: an observational survey study.

The aim of this study was to evaluate an oocyte pick-up (OPU) simulation training program for residents using the high fidelity PickUpSim (Accurate, Cesena, Italy) simulator. The authors carried out an observational study during an OPU simulation workshop. A successful scenario was defined as an oocyte retrieval rate ≥70% without any complications.

Outcomes of prenatally diagnosed spontaneous chorioamniotic membrane separation in singleton pregnancies: A systematic review of case series and case reports.

Objectives: To provide an overview of perinatal outcomes in prenatally diagnosed spontaneous chorioamniotic separation (sCAS).

Methods: A systematic search of the literature was performed from inception to July 2019, including PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Ovid EMBASE. All studies reporting prenatally diagnosed sCAS after 16 weeks' gestation in singleton pregnancies were eligible.

Proton Therapy for Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma: Quantifying Treatment Responses by Magnetic Resonance Diffusion Tensor Imaging.

Purpose: Proton therapy is increasingly used to treat pediatric brain tumors. However, the response of both tumors and healthy tissues to proton therapy is currently under investigation. One way of assessing this response is magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which can measure molecular mobility at the cellular level, quantified by the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC).
