Exploring the impact of integrating telehealth in obstetric care: A scoping review.
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- Telemedicine, or using technology to communicate with doctors, has become important in pregnancy care over the last few years.
- The study looked at lots of research (66 studies) to see how well telemedicine works for pregnant women and if they are happy with it.
- Most women preferred video calls or special apps, and many were satisfied with their care, especially when it helped monitor their health during pregnancy.
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are the most common medical complications in pregnancy. Physical exercise is considered to be safe and beneficial during pregnancy. Moreover, pregnancy could be considered as an opportunity for healthcare providers to promote positive lifestyle behavior and optimize the well-being of pregnant women.

- Researchers studied how a special type of DNA found in blood, called ctDNA, could help predict the survival chances of people with a type of cancer called epithelial ovarian cancer.
- They looked at many previous studies to find out if having a lot of ctDNA was linked to shorter survival times for patients.
- The results showed that high levels of ctDNA meant patients were more likely to have a worse prognosis, so more research is needed to understand this better.
Safety of misoprostol vs dinoprostone for induction of labor: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol
October 2023
Objective: Pharmacological agents such as prostaglandins (dinoprostone and misoprostol) are commonly used to reduce the duration of labor and promote vaginal delivery. However, key safety considerations with its use include an increased risk of uterine rupture, tachysystole and hyperstimulation of pregnant women, which could potentially lead to a non-reassuring fetal heart rate and to fetal hypoxemia. The aim of this systematic review was to assess maternal and fetal outcomes between misoprostol group (PGE1) and dinoprostone group (PGE2) STUDY DESIGN: We search on MEDLINE (PubMed), CINHAL (EBSCOhost), EMBASE, Scopus (Ovid), CENTRAL (January 1, 1998, to December 31, 2022).

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of COVID-19 vaccination received during pregnancy on SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID-19-related hospitalisation, COVID-19-related intensive care unit (ICU) admission and maternal-fetal complications.
Search Strategy: MEDLINE, CINHAL, Embase, Scopus and CENTRAL databases, as well as ClinicalTrials.
Background: There is insufficient high-quality evidence to either support or discourage water birth (WB).
Objectives: To examine different maternal complications of WB compared to standard land birth (LB). The primary outcomes were postpartum hemorrhage and genital trauma.
Association between ultrasound measured angle of progression and remaining time in labor: a systematic review.
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med
December 2022
Objectives: To evaluate the association between ultrasound measured angle of progression (AoP) during labor and time to delivery (TTD) or second stage of labor duration (SSLD).
Methods: This systematic review (SR) was reported according to PRISMA statement 2020. Databases investigated were MEDLINE, CINHAL, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science.
