Background: Postpartum haemorrhage is a preventable cause of maternal mortality that commonly occurs during the third stage of labour. Skin-to-skin contact is an intervention that can support the physiological processes of labour by increasing oxytocin levels, which can accelerate placental expulsion and enhance uterine contractions, thereby contributing to the prevention of postpartum haemorrhage.
Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of skin-to-skin contact on key maternal variables during the third stage of labour, including the duration of this stage, placental integrity, the need for manual placental extraction, the administration of therapeutic uterotonics, and the position of the uterine fundus.

Objective: To assess the short-term effects of Multiwavelength Photobiomodulation (LumiThera Valeda Light Delivery System) on retinal functional behavior in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
Materials And Methods: Twelve RP patients (24 eyes) underwent treatment involving nine photobiomodulation (PBM) sessions using the Valeda system, which emits three distinct wavelengths within the yellow (590 nm; 4 mW/cm2), red (660 nm; 65 mW/cm2), and near-infrared (NIR) (850 nm; 0.6 mW/cm2) spectrum.

In this study, we aimed to assess and compare the prevalence of septate uterus using the diagnostic criteria of the ESHRE-ESGE, ASRM 2016, ASRM 2021, and CUME classifications. This prospective observational study included 977 women of reproductive age. Each participant underwent a transvaginal ultrasound, and a 3D volume of the uterus was obtained for further analysis.
