COVID-19 and Pregnancy: Citation Network Analysis and Evidence Synthesis.

Background: COVID-19 spread quickly around the world shortly after the first outbreaks of the new coronavirus disease at the end of December 2019, affecting all populations, including pregnant women.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between different publications on COVID-19 in pregnancy and their authors through citation networks, as well as to identify the research areas and to determine the publication that has been the most highly cited.

Methods: The search for publications was carried out through the Web of Science database using terms such as "pregnancy," "SARS-CoV-2," "pregnant," and "COVID-19" for the period between January and December 2020.

Preeclampsia and gestational hypertension are associated to low maternal circulating kisspeptin levels: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: There are contradictory data concerning kisspeptin in gravids with preeclampsia and gestational hypertension (GH).

Objective: To conduct a meta-analysis of studies comparing maternal kisspeptin levels in gravids with and without preeclampsia or GH.

Material And Methods: We searched PubMed, LILACS, and CNKI list of articles up to 20 August 2021, without language limitations, comparing circulating maternal kisspeptin levels, and maternal and neonatal outcomes in gravids with and without preeclampsia or GH.

Gynecological Surgery and Its Five Steps Towards Resilience: Minimally Invasive Approach in the COVID-19 Era.

After the declaration of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, gynecological surgery joins the readjustment process that this great global health crisis implies. In the light of current literature, the five steps towards its resilience are described as below; (1) Dynamic prioritization of surgical indications and reintroduction of elective surgeries: Diverse surgical prioritization lists are published including the most common gynecological pathologies. (2) Minimally invasive surgery through laparoscopy and robotic assistance: Some authors suggest a theoretical but unproven risk of viral transmission during these approaches because of the aerosol generation.
