Association of preconception premenstrual disorders with perinatal depression: an analysis of the perinatal clinical database of a single Japanese institution.

Background: Recent studies have identified premenstrual disorders (PMDs) as a risk factor for postpartum depression. However, routine screening for preconception PMDs is not yet common in Japan. This study investigated the association between preconception PMDs and perinatal depression in a single tertiary care setting.

Uneventful vaginal delivery using epidural anesthesia in patient with exercise induced anaphylaxis: a case report and literature review.

Exercise induced anaphylaxis (EIA) is a rare and potentially life-threatening syndrome characterized by anaphylaxis provoked by exercise. Although vaginal delivery with labor pain is a physical strain for women and a possible trigger for EIA, no consensus exists on the management strategy of delivery in patients with EIA. A 28-year-old primigravida was referred to our hospital because of history of EIA, associated with pruritus, urticaria, and respiratory distress, exacerbated during physical activity.

X-ray Pelvimetry Has No Impact on the Outcomes of Trial of Labor after Cesarean Delivery: A Retrospective Single-center Study.

Few studies have examined the relationship between pelvic size and the success or failure of trial of labor after cesarean delivery (TOLAC). Here we aimed to determine whether pelvic size and morphological data obtained from radiography contribute to the first successful TOLAC. This retrospective single-center observational study enrolled pregnant women who underwent TOLAC between 2010 and 2021.

Compound heterozygous variants in RAB34 in a rare skeletal ciliopathy syndrome.

Skeletal ciliopathies are a heterogenous group of congenital disorders characterized by multiple internal abnormalities, and distinct radiographic presentation. Pathogenic variants in at least 30 cilia genes are known to cause skeletal ciliopathies. Here we report a fetus with an atypical skeletal ciliopathy phenotype and compound heterozygous variants in the RAB34 gene.
