Objective: We examined fluctuations in emergency department (ED) visits for nonspecific back and neck pain during the COVID-19 pandemic and explored potential contributing factors.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients who presented to the ED with nonspecific back and neck pain between January 2019 and December 2021. Demographic data, visit frequencies, and clinical outcomes were analyzed to assess the impact of the pandemic on visit patterns.
This study investigated whether the difference between endometrial thickness in the frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle and the preceding fresh stimulated cycle predicts clinical pregnancy in women with thin endometrium. A retrospective analysis of 335 cycles in 227 women (age < 43) with endometrium < 8 mm in the FET cycle was conducted. Endometrial thickness was assessed using the ratio (ET) and absolute difference (ET) between the maximal endometrial thickness measured during the stimulated IVF cycle and that measured in the FET cycle.

- This study examined the outcomes of 185 pregnant women who had appendectomies, comparing them to 555 who did not undergo surgery, focusing on clinical, obstetrical, and neonatal results from 2005 to 2022.
- The majority of the appendectomies were laparoscopic, with 76.2% of cases showing an inflamed appendix; however, preterm delivery was significantly higher in the appendectomy group (11.9%) compared to the control group (5.4%).
- The analysis indicated that having an appendectomy, especially if it was a negative appendectomy, was a significant risk factor for preterm birth, highlighting the need for careful
Introduction: It has been reported that approximately 80-90% of apical prolapse repair is through reconstructive or obliterative vaginal surgery. Although several procedures have been described, to date there is a lack of consensus on the best surgical procedure. The aim of this study was to perform a thorough review of the current literature on the efficacy and safety of the iliococcygeus fixation technique for the treatment of vaginal vault prolapse.

The analysis focused on the influence of surgical duration, the number of cervical levels treated, and implant types. A total of 21 studies were included, and heterogeneity among studies was evaluated using the I² statistic.
