An Evaluation of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patient's Quality of life Following Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.

Aims: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by episodic sleep state-dependent upper airway collapse. OSA can markedly decrease quality of life (QoL) and productivity. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) has been used as an effective treatment for OSA.

Structured Workshop for Repair of High-Grade Perineal Lacerations Among Obstetrics and Gynecology Residents, The Need for Repetition and Retraining.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of structured workshops in improving the knowledge and skills of obstetrics and gynecology residents for repairing high-grade perineal lacerations.

Materials And Methods: This quasi-experimental multicenter study evaluated the baseline knowledge of obstetrics and gynecology residents using an online patient-management problem (PMP) tool. After the initial evaluation, a workshop was conducted using sponge models to teach the practical technique for repairing high-grade perineal lacerations, including external and internal anal sphincter repair.

Correlation between PAPP-A serum levels in the first trimester of pregnancy with the occurrence of gestational diabetes, a multicenter cohort study.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between first-trimester Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) levels and subsequent gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) development.

Method: The study was conducted on 5854 pregnant women who attended routine prenatal care. Maternal biomarkers, including PAPP-A and free beta hCG, were measured for all women in a referral laboratory and converted to MoM values.

Relationship Between Anatomic Features of the Placenta, the Type of Abnormal Placental Cord Insertion and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes in Singleton Pregnancies: A Prospective Observational Study.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the potential value of placental anatomic features and various types of normal and abnormal cord insertion types in predicting adverse maternal-fetal outcomes in singleton pregnancies. We also tried to assess the association between these outcomes and various types of placental cord insertion.

Method: This prospective observational study was performed on singleton pregnancies.
