Proposal of a novel index in assessing perinatal mortality in prenatal diagnosis of Sacrococcygeal Teratoma.

Objectives: To describe obstetric characteristics and perinatal outcomes in a serie of fetuses with Sacrococcygeal Teratoma (SCT) and propose a novel index to assess postnatal mortality based on the THC ratio and the addition of the presence of polyhydramnios.

Methods: A retrospective study in a referral teaching hospital between 2013 and 2023. A descriptive analysis and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were performed to the determine the optimal cutoff value of the THC plus polyhydramnios based on optimal sensitivity and specificity.

A systematic review of early intrauterine intervention at 12 + 0 to 16 + 6 weeks in twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence.

Unlabelled: There is some evidence that in twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence, intervention at early gestational age could prevent a spontaneous death of the pump twin, achieving a better global survival.

Objective: To review the perinatal outcomes of early intervention in pregnancies complicated by twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence.

Study Design: A comprehensive search from inception to December 2022 was conducted on databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and LILACS.

Treatment and Management Experience of Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis in a Low-income Country.

Objective:  Reporting our experience of the management and treatment of Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) in a low-income country by describing patients characteristics and therapy with emphasis on conservative surgical excision and postoperative care as the cornerstone of treatment.

Methods:  A retrospective cohort of women with histopathological diagnosis of IGM from 2014 to 2018 at Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal in Lima, Peru. Patients' characteristics, clinical presentation, treatment, management, postoperative care, and follow-up were analyzed.

Severe fetal anaemia caused by congenital cytomegalovirus infection.

A 22-year-old pregnant woman was referred to our fetal medicine unit due to severe fetal growth restriction at 26 weeks of gestation. An extensive detailed ultrasound revealed signs of bilateral periventricular hyperechogenicity, suggesting fetal infection potentially due to cytomegalovirus (CMV). Doppler ultrasound showed a high peak systolic velocity in the middle cerebral artery.

Maternal clinical characteristics and perinatal outcomes among pregnant women with coronavirus disease 2019. A systematic review.

Objective: To describe the maternal clinical characteristics, maternal and perinatal outcomes in COVID-19-positive pregnant women.

Methods: Articles in all languages on the SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnant women were sought from MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and LILACS; China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database (CNKI), Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database (VIP) and Wan Fang Data between December 1, 2019 and April 27, 2020. Bulletins and national reports were also searched.
