Objective: This study explores a hybrid approach to maternal-fetal care for gestational diabetes (GD), integrating virtual visits seamlessly with in-clinic assessments. We assessed the feasibility, time efficiency, patient satisfaction, and clinical outcomes to facilitate wider adoption of maternal-fetal telemedicine.
Methods: We conducted a 4-week prospective study involving 20 women with GD at ≥32 weeks of pregnancy, alternating between remote and in-clinic weekly visits.

Research Question: We aimed to assess the impact of Body Mass Index (BMI) on 30-day postoperative complications in patients undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy (MIH) for fibroids.
Design: Using data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database (2012-2020), we analyzed major and minor 30-day postoperative complications, stratified by BMI, in patients with uterine fibroids who underwent MIH. Complications were stratified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.
Anogenital mammary-like glands (AGMLGs) are present in the anogenital region that bear striking morphologic and protein-expression similarities to mammary glands in the breast. AGMLGs can give rise to both benign and malignant lesions which mimic primary breast lesions. Herein, we report two mammary-type adenocarcinomas arising from AGMLGs, including one in the previously unreported site of the rectum.

- * This research aimed to investigate the link between BMI and short-term postoperative complications following myomectomy, analyzing data from the American College of Surgeons database from 2012 to 2020 and excluding vaginal myomectomy cases.
- * The study found that 11.4% of the 27,387 patients experienced complications, with rates varying by BMI category, where patients with obesity class 1 had fewer major complications, while those in obesity class 2 and 3 had more complications compared to
Objective: This study aimed to determine whether administration of a late preterm (34-36 weeks) course of antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) is associated with improved short-term neonatal outcomes among pregnancies complicated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) who delivered in the late preterm period.
Study Design: A single tertiary center retrospective cohort study, including pregnant individuals with singleton fetuses who delivered between 34.0 and 36.
