Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the pregnancy outcomes of women with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) who have had five or more pregnancies (grand multiparity) and compares them to two control groups: those with fewer pregnancies and those without aPL/APS.
- Results showed that while most pregnancy-related parameters were similar across the groups, grand multiparity women with aPL/APS had higher rates of obstetric APS diagnosis, older maternal age, higher body mass index (BMI), more cases of polyhydramnios, and delivered larger babies.
- The conclusions suggest that the perinatal outcomes for grand multiparity women with aPL/APS are not worse than those of their counterparts
Introduction: Studies investigating the risk factors associated with unfavorable maternal/neonatal outcomes in cases of shoulder dystocia are scarce. This study aims to uncover the predictive factors that give rise to unfavorable outcomes within the context of shoulder dystocia.
Materials And Methods: Medical records of pregnancies complicated by shoulder dystocia was obtained between 2008-2022 from a single tertiary center.
Purpose: To compare perinatal outcomes between active and routine management in true knot of the umbilical cord (TKUC).
Methods: A retrospective study of singletons born beyond 22 weeks with TKUC. Active management included weekly fetal heart rate monitoring(FHRM) ≥ 30 weeks and labor induction at 36-37 weeks.
Research Question: Do perinatal outcomes of selective termination performed in the late second versus third trimester differ and what risk factors are associated with subsequent preterm birth?
Design: This is a retrospective cohort study of late selective terminations performed in dichorionic twins between 2009 and 2021. Perinatal outcomes were compared between two groups: group A, late second trimester (20.2 to 24.
Background: Prenatal diagnosis of cleft palate is challenging. Numerous 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional methods have been proposed to assess the integrity of the fetal palate, yet detection rates remain relatively low. We propose the "Hard Palate Sweep," a novel 2-dimensional method that enables clear demonstration of the entire fetal palate throughout pregnancy, in a single sweep, avoiding acoustic shadows cast by surrounding bones.

Data are missing regarding the response after 3 vaccine doses.
Methods: We followed up a group of PLWH who received 3 doses of the mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine and for whom data of humoral immune response after 2 vaccine doses were available.
Background: Little is known about vaccine efficacy and sustainability among people with HIV (PWH). We estimated humoral and cellular immune responses postvaccination with BNT162b2 mRNA coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine among PWH in Tel-Aviv Medical Center.
Methods: The vaccine humoral response was evaluated by measuring immunoglobulin G (IgG) titers of antispike receptor-binding domain antibodies (anti-RBD IgG).
