Applicability, Safety, and Efficiency of Salpingectomy versus Electrocoagulation and Laparoscopic Tubal Section in Ambulatory.

Objective:  Female sterilization is a surgical procedure that aims women to permanently stop the use of conception. The benefits, risks and cost-effectiveness are important issues. The purpose of this study was comparing the applicability, complications and efficacy of salpingectomy versus electrocoagulation and tubal occlusion by laparoscopy in the Ambulatory Surgery Unit.

[Medically Assisted Reproduction in Natural Cycle: Outcome Evaluation of a Reproductive Medicine Department].

Introduction: Medically assisted reproduction in natural cycle has been investigated, especially in women with poor response to conventional ovarian stimulation, with endometrial receptivity improvement, lower cost and possibility of successive cycles. The disadvantages are: lower profitability per treatment cycle and higher cancellation rate. The aim of this study was to determine the rate of clinical pregnancy in infertile women subjected to medically assisted reproduction in natural cycle.

Fetal primary hydrothorax with spontaneous resolution.

Fetal primary hydrothorax is a rare congenital anomaly with an estimated incidence of 1:10.000-15.000 pregnancies, with an unpredictable clinical course, ranging from spontaneous resolution to fetal death.

Intrapartum synthetic oxytocin and breastfeeding: a retrospective cohort study.

Non-pulsatile oxytocin given during labour can negatively affect breastfeeding. The aim of this study was to assess whether intrapartum oxytocin administration has any effect on breastfeeding. Secondly, to assess whether some maternal or neonatal variables influence breastfeeding.

Prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes by extreme values of first trimester screening markers.

Background: To determine the association between extreme values of first trimester markers and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 916 women who underwent first-trimester combined screening during 2015 was performed. Extreme values of NT, pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) and free β-hCG, and their association with adverse pregnancy outcomes were analyzed.
