Diabetes, diabetes treatment, and mammographic density in Danish Diet, Cancer, and Health cohort.

Purpose: We examined whether diabetes and diabetes treatment are associated with MD in a cohort study of Danish women above age of 50 years.

Methods: Study cohort consisted of 5,644 women (4,500 postmenopausal) who participated in the Danish Diet, Cancer, and Health cohort (1993-1997) and subsequently attended mammographic screening in Copenhagen (1993-2001). We used MD assessed at the first screening after the cohort entry, defined as mixed/dense or fatty.

New MRI Criteria for Successful Vaginal Breech Delivery in Primiparae.

Background: Even if lower vaginal delivery success rates and impaired neonatal short-term outcomes have been reported for primiparous women with breech presentation, vaginal breech delivery remains an option for carefully selected patients. Because Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pelvimetry can provide additional information on maternal pelvic morphology, we sought to identify new MRI parameters that predict successful vaginal breech delivery.

Methods: In this retrospective unicentre study, 240 primiparous women with breech presentation at term underwent MRI pelvimetry.
