Evaluation of the lymphocyte population and placental inflammation in pregnant patients with moderate or severe COVID-19 forms - a secondary analysis.

Aim: In this secondary analysis, we aimed to characterize the lymphocytes population and placental inflammation in pregnant women with moderate and severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) forms.

Patients, Materials And Methods: In the analysis of this prospective evaluation, we included 26 pregnant women at term with moderate and severe COVID-19 forms that were evaluated in a tertiary maternity center in a one-year timeframe. Clinical data, along with blood immunophenotyping results and placental histopathological examinations were comparatively evaluated between two study groups depending on the COVID-19 severity: Group 1 (moderate COVID-19, n=14 patients) and Group 2 (severe COVID-19, n=12 patients).

Conservative management of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 and prediction of its progression - a retrospective study.

Aim: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 (CIN2) evolution is controversial, and some of them regress spontaneously in a two-year follow-up. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the percentage of CIN2 progression or persistence during a 24-month follow-up, using clinical predictors such as human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype and cytology results.

Patients, Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective case-control study and included patients of reproductive age who had a new diagnosis of CIN2 who were monitored for lesion regression (Group 1, n=72 patients), and progression or persistence (Group 2, n=36 patients).
