Background: The literature has been evolving to standardize gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) diagnosis and terminology. The significance of timing in diagnosing hyperglycemia during pregnancy is underlined by evidence that women diagnosed at 24 weeks of gestation or earlier are at a higher risk of developing postpartum prediabetes, but its association with adverse outcomes for the newborn is controversial. We aimed to investigate the association between early-onset GDM and adverse outcomes in newborns and neonates, comparing it with the late-onset GDM model.

Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and many other clinical variables have been associated with postpartum urinary incontinence (UI). However, the data are still restricted, and no study explored early- or late-onset GDM as a risk factor for this condition. We aimed to identify independent risk factors for postpartum UI, focusing on GDM and its early or late onset.

Aim: To evaluate the pelvic floor (PF) biometry using three-dimensional ultrasound (US) at two-time points of gestational in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Methods: A prospective cohort study conducted at the Perinatal Diabetes Research Center including 44 pregnant women with GDM and 66 pregnant women without GDM at 24 to 28 weeks of gestation. Three-dimensional transperineal US was performed at 24 to 28 and 34 to 38 weeks of gestation in the lithotomy position at rest.

Introduction: Partial nephrectomy is the standard of care for localized renal tumors. However, bleeding and warm ischemia time are still controversial when laparoscopic surgeries are carried out. Herein, we aim to compare the outcomes from laparoscopic partial nephrectomy with and without the use of biological glue with purified bovine albumin and glutaraldehyde (BioGlue ®).
