Synthetic vs nonsynthetic slings for female stress and mixed urinary incontinence: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to systematically review objective and subjective success and surgical outcomes of suburethral sling surgery for female patients with stress or mixed urinary incontinence using synthetic vs nonsynthetic material with corresponding surgical approaches (retropubic or transobturator).

Data Sources: We systematically searched Medline, Embase, EBM Reviews, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Web of Science Core Collection using standardized Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) without date restrictions (PROSPERO-registered).

Task shifting cesarean sections in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Safe and timely access to cesarean section (CS) in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) remains a significant challenge.

Objectives: To compare maternal and perinatal outcomes of CS by non-physician clinicians (NPCs) versus physicians in LMIC.

Search Strategy And Selection Criteria: A systematic search of Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library (including CENTRAL), Web of Science, and LILACS was performed from inception to January 2022.

Maternal anxiety, depression and vascular function during pregnancy.

Objective: We aim to clarify whether type and timing of mental health symptoms in early pregnancy distinctly contribute to maternal-fetal vascular function, independent from the psychotropic medications given to treat these conditions.

Methods: Data from a prospective cohort study (n = 1678) were used to test whether self-reported fears about giving birth and depressive symptoms prior to 16 weeks of gestation were associated with vascular outcomes predictive of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) i.e.

Effect of double embryo transfer derived from autologous frozen oocytes on multiple pregnancy rates and presentation of success rates stratified by age at retrieval.

Objective: To compare outcomes transferring one or two embryos in autologous frozen oocyte cycles.

Material And Methods: A retrospective cohort study conducted at an academic fertility center between January 2012 and December 2018. One-hundred and fourteen patients underwent frozen oocyte transfers; 67 single embryo transfer (SET) and 47 double embryo transfer (DET).

Advanced parental age: Is it contributing to an increased incidence of non-syndromic craniosynostosis? A review of case-control studies.

Background: Craniosynostosis (CS) is a congenital birth defect characterized by the premature fusion of one or several calvarial suture(s). CS could lead to serious complications, such as intracranial hypertension and neurodevelopmental impairment. There is an increasing trend in the prevalence of CS - 75% of which are of non-syndromic type (NSCS).

testing in women with high-grade serous ovarian cancer: gynecologic oncologist-initiated testing compared with genetics referral.

Objective: Up to 15% of patients with high-grade serous ovarian, tubal, or peritoneal carcinoma harbor a mutation in genes. Early notion of mutation status may facilitate counseling, predict prognosis, and increase access to Parp-inhibitors. The aim of this study was to examine the rate of germline genetic testing in a retrospective cohort of women with high-grade serous ovarian, tubal, or peritoneal carcinoma to determine if a new pilot project of gynecologic oncologist-initiated genetic testing improved the rate of testing, after 1 year of implementation.

Supplements to Conventional Treatment After Hysteroscopic Lysis of Intrauterine Adhesions: A Systematic Review.

Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) are a result of trauma to the basalis layer of the endometrium and may lead to clinical sequelae such as miscarriage, infertility, and menstrual irregularities. Hysteroscopy is recognized as the gold standard in diagnosis and management, although the optimal treatment after surgical intervention remains unclear. This review aimed to provide an update on the treatment options available after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis and to facilitate clinical management of patients with IUAs.
