Burn injuries remain a major clinical problem worldwide, which require special management by experienced plastic surgeons. However, they cannot be available in every healthcare unit; consequently, there is a need for effective treatment options that could be utilized by a wide range of non-expert healthcare professionals. The aim of the present experimental study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of using a fibrin sealant (TISSEEL) compared to the conventional treatment with sulfadiazine on partial-thickness burn in a rat animal model.

- - The systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the significance of low pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) levels in predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes in twin pregnancies, such as hypertensive disorders, preterm birth, and fetal growth restriction.
- - A total of 11 studies with 3,741 patients were analyzed; the findings showed no strong link between low PAPP-A levels and hypertensive disorders, but suggested a positive association with preterm birth and small-for-gestational-age conditions.
- - Despite some correlations found, the study emphasized that the current sample size may not be sufficient to establish definitive conclusions, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
Objectives: Lower uterine segment (LUS) involvement is encountered in a small proportion of endometrial cancer patients and is associated with aggressive histological features. Despite the available evidence, there seems to be a lack of consensus concerning its actual impact on disease related survival.
Study Design: The search strategy involved the Medline, Scopus, Clinicaltrials.
The occurrence of multiple pregnancies is consistently and significantly linked to the growing use of assisted reproductive technology (ART). Even very young women opt for having multiple embryos implanted by medical professionals in order to increase the chances of a successful outcome. Our aim is to review the research on cesarean section rates and perinatal outcomes, like perinatal morbidity, risk of preterm delivery, and low birth weight (LBW) of neonates in multiple pregnancies that resulted from ART in comparison to those that were naturally conceived.

- The study examines the differences in maternal serum biomarkers during the first and second trimesters for aneuploidy screening among women with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), placenta previa, and normal pregnancies.
- A systematic review of data up to April 2023 included 8 retrospective studies with 1886 participants, revealing significant variations in biomarker levels, such as higher pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A in PAS patients during the first trimester.
- The findings highlight the potential for developing early screening methods for placental disorders, but emphasize the need for further large-scale studies to validate these results.
