Prevalence and characteristics of mistreatment during childbirth in two Israeli hospitals.
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of mistreatment during childbirth in Israeli medical centers, addressing gaps in quantitative data within developed countries.
Study Design: A new questionnaire, incorporating demographic, obstetric, and mistreatment-related questions, was developed and distributed to postpartum women in two Israeli hospitals. Mistreatment categories included physical, sexual, and verbal abuse, failure to meet professional standards, poor rapport between women and providers, and health system conditions.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of using a double balloon device for cervical ripening for 6 hours compared to 12 hours in patients with a cervical length of 30 mm or more before labor induction.
- - It was a secondary analysis involving 67 women, where the main focus was the change in Bishop score after removing the device, with secondary measures like delivery timing and oxytocin use.
- - Results showed no significant difference in Bishop score changes between the two time groups, but the 6-hour group had a notably shorter delivery time by 10 hours compared to the 12-hour group.

Purpose: To compare mode of delivery and maternal and neonatal outcomes using cervical ripening balloon (CRB) for induction of labor (IOL) in nulliparous patients vs. those undergoing first trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC).
Methods: Retrospective cohort study including data from two tertiary medical centers.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze how general endoscopists' ability to predict the histologic features of small colorectal polyps improved when using a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system during real-life colonoscopies in the U.S.
- - Results showed that while both unassisted and CADx-assisted predictions had similar sensitivity (around 90%), the assisted group's specificity was significantly higher, allowing more polyps to be resected or left untreated.
- - Despite the benefits seen in a clinical setting, the study noted that the use of CADx might not yield the same results in other real-world scenarios.
The study presented here aims at assessing the effects of hypobaric hypoxia on RAAS pathway and its components along with mitigation of anomalies with quercetin prophylaxis. One hour prior to hypobaric hypoxia exposure, male SD rats were orally supplemented with quercetin (50 mg/kg BW) and acetazolamide (50 mg/kg BW) and exposed them to 25,000 ft. (7,620 m) in a simulated environmental chamber for 12 h at 25 ± 2 °C.
