Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of, indications for and clinical epidemiological characteristics in patients having their first cesarean section (FCS) and then to compare the data with that found in patients with repeated cesarean section (RCS).
Patients And Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out. 493 pregnant patients who gave birth by cesarean section or vaginal delivery were seen. Some of the variables analyzed were: age, prenatal care consultations, gyneco-obstetric antecedents, cesarean section indication and neonate weight. Statistical analysis included ANOVA, chi(2) and OR, with a 95% CI. Significance was p<0.05.
Results: 66% of the patients had vaginal births (VB) and 33.4% had cesarean sections, with a FCS frequency of 61%. The three most frequent indications for FCS were dystocias and cephalopelvic disproportion (45%), fetal distress (12.8%), and pelvic presentation (9.9%). Meanwhile, those for RCS were previous cesarean section (51%), dystocias (20%) and pelvic presentation (6.2%). The variables significantly associated with FCS were: first pregnancy, antecedent of labor room induction and a neonate weight above 3500 g. The remaining variables were not associated with FCS. Percentages of nulliparity, secondgravidity and multigravidity were greater in RCS patients.
Conclusion: The frequency of FCS is still high in Mexico. Adequate following of programs to diminish the percentage of FCS and increase the number of VB, would significantly reduce the prevalence of cesarean section.

Objectives: Liver transplant is the most effective therapeutic option for patients with end-stage liver disease, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and acute liver failure. We evaluated whether the percentage of hepatic fat percentage affected transplant outcomes to determine whether livers with varying severity of macrosteatosis should be considered suitable for donation.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed data from 381 patients with liver failure who received liver transplant at Montaseriyeh Hospital in Mashhad, Iran, between 2013 and 2022.

Background: Focus groups (FGs) are an established method in health research to capture a full range of different perspectives on a particular research question. The extent to which they are effective depends, not least, on the composition of the participants. This study aimed to investigate how published FG studies plan and conduct the recruitment of study participants.

Background: In developing countries evidences regarding pulmonary hypertension (PH) in rheumatic heart disease (RHD) patients are lacking, despite being responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. As a result, identifying the factors that influence PH is crucial to improve the quality of care.
Objective: To determine prevalence of pulmonary hypertension and its associated factors among rheumatic heart disease patients at the public hospitals of Bahir Dar city, Ethiopia.

After intracranial surgery, sympathetic overdrive and increased blood catecholamine levels can contribute to postoperative hypertension, a significant clinical problem. The objective of this review was to summarize, quantify, and assess the epidemiological perspective of post-craniotomy hypertension and its association with adverse outcomes. This PROSPERO-registered systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines.

Purpose: Long-term opioid therapy (LTOT) has been shown to be associated with opioid overdose, but the definition of LTOT varies widely across studies. We use a rigorous LTOT definition to examine risk of opioid overdose by duration of treatment.
Methods: Data were from a large private health insurance provider in North Carolina linked to mortality records from 2006-2018.
