Sertaconazole 300 mg versus clotrimazole 500 mg vaginal suppository for treating pregnant women with acute vaginal candidiasis: a double-blinded, randomized trial.

Background: Vaginal candidiasis (VC) commonly affects pregnant women. Traditionally, clotrimazole vaginal tablets (CLO) have been the cornerstone of management. However, sertaconazole ovules (SER) offer a novel topical antimycotic option.

Prenatal predisposing factors associated with neonatal lupus erythematosus.

Objectives: To identify the prenatal predisposing factors related to neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective case-control study was made of 131 pregnant women with positive anti-Ro or anti-La autoantibodies and known neonatal outcomes between January 2002 and December 2019 at Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. There were 101 unaffected neonates and 30 NLE cases confirmed postnatally.

A 10-Year Retrospective Review of Prenatal Applications, Current Challenges and Future Prospects of Three-Dimensional Sonoangiography.

Realistic reconstruction of angioarchitecture within the morphological landmark with three-dimensional sonoangiography (three-dimensional power Doppler; 3D PD) may augment standard prenatal ultrasound and Doppler assessments. This study aimed to (a) present a technical overview, (b) determine additional advantages, (c) identify current challenges, and (d) predict trajectories of 3D PD for prenatal assessments. PubMed and Scopus databases for the last decade were searched.

Additional benefits of three-dimensional ultrasound for prenatal assessment of twins.

Three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) may provide additional information for prenatal assessment of twins. It may improve the diagnostic confidence of dating, nuchal translucency (NT) and chorionicity assignment in twin pregnancies. The "virtual 3DUS placentoscopy" can guide selective fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (SFLP) to treat twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).

Reproductive outcomes of patients being hospitalised with pelvic inflammatory disease.

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and the predictors of the adverse reproductive outcomes in patients who had been hospitalised with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). The retrospective cohort study was conducted by contacting all the patients admitted with PID or tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) during January 2004 and December 2011. Those who were sexually active and aged 14-40 years were included.
