Identification of important genes related to ferroptosis in early missed abortion based on WGCNA.

Early missed abortion is defined as a pregnancy of ≤ 12 weeks in which there is a cessation of life in the developing embryo or fetus, leading to its retention within the uterine cavity without being spontaneously expelled promptly. This condition is commonly observed and significantly impacts human reproductive health. This study aimed to identify key genes related to ferroptosis that could serve as novel biomarkers for early missed abortion.

Mersilene tape versus conventional sutures in transvaginal cervical cerclage: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Mersilene tape versus alternative suture types in prolonging singleton pregnancies as well as other pregnancy and neonatal outcomes, in cases of history-, ultrasound-, and exam-indicated cervical cerclage.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted to identify relevant studies comparing different suture types in cervical cerclage procedures. The primary outcome of interest was preterm birth (PTB) rate < 37, <35, < 28, and < 24 weeks.
