Objective: Assessment of the reoperation rate in patients with positive resection margins after initial breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer and estimation of the cost to the hospital.
Method: 146 patients with diagnosis of invasive breast cancer were included, who were initially intervened with conservative surgery by the Gynecology and Obstetrics Service of Hospital Universitario de Tarragona Juan XXIII (HUTJ23) during the years 2018 and 2019. We calculated the rate of involvement of the surgical margins of the resection piece after initial conservative surgery, establishing in which cases it was necessary to carry out a second resection, estimating the added direct costs of the second surgical procedure, and comparing them with the costs established by the Catalan Health Service according to the level of the hospital and the Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRG) established by the National Health System.

Background: To evaluate the inflammatory axis mediated by tumour necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) and its scavenger receptor CD163 during pregnancy and their influence on insulin sensitivity in normal pregnancy and in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Materials And Methods: One hundred and thirty seven women with one singleton pregnancy, 71 with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and 66 with GDM were studied. Glucose metabolism was assessed by oral glucose tolerance test.
Objective: We sought to analyze the role of cord blood adiponectin and its multimeric forms in neonatal adiposity and fetal growth velocity (FGV) during the third trimester of pregnancy according to fetal gender.
Study Design: This was a prospective analytical observational study conducted at the Diabetes and Pregnancy Unit, University Hospital Joan XXIII, Tarragona, Spain. In all, 96 healthy pregnant women were included in the early third trimester and were followed up until delivery.
