The Efficacy and Acceptability of Flash Glucose Monitoring in Pregnant Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) occurs in approximately 9% of pregnancies, and proper glycemic control is of utmost importance in the prevention of GDM-associated obstetric complications. Flash glucose monitoring (FGM), a subtype of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), offers intermittent blood glucose scanning and is considered a propitious alternative to the standard method of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). The aim of this review was to systematically assess the efficacy and acceptability of FGM in in pregnancies complicated by GDM.

Prevalence of Septate Uterus in a Large Population of Women of Reproductive Age: Comparison of ASRM 2016 and 2021, ESHRE/ESGE, and CUME Diagnostic Criteria: A Prospective Study.

In this study, we aimed to assess and compare the prevalence of septate uterus using the diagnostic criteria of the ESHRE-ESGE, ASRM 2016, ASRM 2021, and CUME classifications. This prospective observational study included 977 women of reproductive age. Each participant underwent a transvaginal ultrasound, and a 3D volume of the uterus was obtained for further analysis.

Management and Treatment Outcomes of Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn (HDFN)-A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is caused by maternal antibodies attacking fetal blood cell antigens. Despite routine antenatal anti-D prophylaxis, intrauterine transfusions (IUTs) are still needed in some HDFN cases. We conducted a retrospective cohort study on newborns with HDFN born in the 1st Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Medical University of Warsaw.

Incidence and Risk Factors of Cholestasis in Newborns with Hemolytic Disease-A Case-Control Study.

: One of the rare causes of cholestasis may be hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). : We retrospectively analyzed 88 medical records of HDFN newborns with cholestasis and 186 records of children with HDFN without cholestasis and conducted an observational, case-control, retrospective study. : Factors influencing the risk of cholestasis were lower gestational age at birth (36.

Outcome of Monochorionic Diamniotic Twins with Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence: Interstitial Laser versus Endoscopic Cord Occlusion.

Twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence (TRAP) is a rare complication of monochorionic twins (MC). This study aimed to describe and compare the short- and long-term outcomes of MC pregnancies with the TRAP sequence treated with two different techniques: interstitial fetal laser (IFL) ( = 22) versus endoscopic cord occlusion (CO) ( = 24). The study population included 46 MC pregnancies with TRAP.

Bioleptin as a useful marker of metabolic status in children with diabetes mellitus type 1.

Introduction: The purpose of our study was tomeasure the level of leptin and biologically active leptin (bioLEP) in children with type 1 diabetes, depending on the duration of diabetes and its degree of metabolic control.

Methods: The study included 94 children (58 boys and 36 girls). In a group of children with diabetes, 40 patients were newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, 40 children who have diabetes for more than a year (20 with good metabolic control and 20 with poor metabolic control).

Circulating miR-3613-5p but not miR-125b-5p, miR-199a-3p, and miR-451a are biomarkers of endometriosis.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the utility of circulating miR-125b-5p, miR-199a-3p, miR-451a, and miR-3613-5p as biomarkers of endometriosis.

Study Design: Patients with stage III or IV of endometriosis according to the revised American Society of Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) staging classification, as well as control women, were recruited. We created a prospective study conducted on a group of 48 patients (n = 25 controls, n = 24 endometriosis) who had laparoscopic surgery.

Association of Membranous WNT-1 and Nuclear mTOR with Endometrial Cancer Grade.

Endometrial cancer remains a common cancer affecting the female reproductive system. There is still a need for more efficient ways of determining the degree of malignancy and optimizing treatment. WNT and mTOR are components of signaling pathways within tumor cells, and dysfunction of either protein is associated with the pathogenesis of neoplasms.

Modern assessment of the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes in the era of high-efficacy assisted reproductive technology.

The high efficacy of modern assisted reproductive technology (ART) and increase in the number of noninfertile patients who are using ART for family building in the United States call into question the relevance of the standard, one-size-fits-all infertility evaluation. Here, we explore whether all patients presenting for ART need uterine cavity and tubal assessment and what tests are most appropriate, efficient, and cost-effective in current times.

CD133 Expression in the Nucleus Is Associated with Endometrial Carcinoma Staging and Tumor Angioinvasion.

(1) Endometrial cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women, with a growing incidence. To better understand the different behaviors associated with endometrial cancer, it is necessary to understand the changes that occur at a molecular level. CD133 is one of the factors that regulate tumor progression, which is primarily known as the transmembrane glycoprotein associated with tumor progression or cancer stem cells.

Oxytocin and Misoprostol With Diclofenac in the Preparation for Magnetic Resonance-Guided High-Intensity Ultrasound Treatment of Symptomatic Uterine Fibroids: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Uterine fibroids (UFs) are very common benign tumors of the female reproductive tract. According to recent reports, magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity ultrasound (MR-HIFU) appears to be a well-tolerated and efficient treatment option for UFs. However, MR-HIFU still presents several limitations.

Terminology for describing normally sited and ectopic pregnancies on ultrasound: ESHRE recommendations for good practice.

Study Question: What recommendations can be provided to improve terminology for normal and ectopic pregnancy description on ultrasound?

Summary Answer: The present ESHRE document provides 17 consensus recommendations on how to describe normally sited and different types of ectopic pregnancies on ultrasound.

What Is Known Already: Current diagnostic criteria stipulate that each type of ectopic pregnancy can be defined by clear anatomical landmarks which facilitates reaching a correct diagnosis. However, a clear definition of normally sited pregnancies and a comprehensive classification of ectopic pregnancies are still lacking.
