Postpartum antihypertensive treatment: Is there a correlation to placental lesions?

Objective: We aimed to examine the association of clinical risk factors and placental lesions, in gestations complicated with preeclampsia, with the need for antihypertensive treatment in the early postpartum period.

Methods: The computerized files and placental reports of all singleton deliveries at 24.0-42.

Placental vascular lesions differ between male and female fetuses in early-onset preeclampsia.

Purpose: A growing body of evidence accumulate pointing to sex-specific differences in placental adaptation to pregnancy complications. We aimed to study if there is a difference in placental histopathology lesions, between female and male fetuses in pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia.

Methods: The medical files of all patients with preeclampsia, were reviewed.

Placental-related disorders of pregnancy and IVF: does placental histological examination explain the excess risk?

Research Question: What are the clinical characteristics of pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction (FGR) and preeclampsia in patients who have undergone IVF, and what is the correlation between these complications and histopathological placental findings in such pregnancies.

Design: A retrospective cohort of patients who had delivered their babies at our institution who had been diagnosed with preeclampsia, whose babies had been diagnosed with FGR, or both. Deliveries in which the placenta was sent for histopathological examination were included.

Comparison of 3 protocols for analgesia control after cesarean delivery: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Proper pain control after cesarean delivery is of high clinical importance to the recovery and relief of patients after surgical delivery.

Objective: We aimed to compare fixed time interval to on-demand regimens of nonopioid analgesics and to assess whether a protocol that is based on intravenous administration is superior to oral administration.

Study Design: This was a randomized controlled trial performed between April 2017 and May 2018.

Prediction of the efficacy of dinoprostone slow release vaginal insert (Propess) for cervical ripening: A prospective cohort study.

Aim: To evaluate factors predictive of the success of dinoprostone slow release vaginal insert for cervical ripening.

Methods: A total of 169 women who underwent cervical ripening with dinoprostone slow release vaginal insert were included in the study cohort. The correlation between parameters present before cervical ripening with dinoprostone slow release and its success, as well as complications and adverse outcomes were analyzed.

Trial of vaginal delivery for twins - is it safe? a single center experience.

Purpose: This study assessed our hospital protocol of vaginal delivery for twins and evaluated whether trial of vaginal delivery (unless contraindicated) was as safe as elective cesarean. Risk factors leading to failed trial of labor (TOL) were characterized to improve our ability to advise patients and select cases for TOL.

Methods: This retrospective, cohort study included women >32 weeks gestation, with twin A in cephalic presentation and no contraindications for vaginal delivery.
