Objective: To identify risk factors of cesarean section due to cephalopelvic disproportion
Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital.
Study Design: Case-control study.
Material And Method: One hundred and three singleton, viable, term pregnant women in cephalic presentation delivered by cesarean section due to cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) and 105 controls gave normal birth just before or after the study case. Demographic, anthropometric data, labor characteristics, and neonatal outcomes were obtained from medical records. The expected risk indicators of the case and control groups were compared by using independent unpaired T-test and exact probability test as appropriate. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine the significant risk factors (p < 0.05).
Results: Significant independent risk factors of cesarean section due to CPD were: estimated fetal weight (EFW) > 3,000 g (OR = 3.96, 95% CI = 2.06, 7.63), pre-pregnancy BMI > or = 25 kg/m2 (OR = 5.06, 95% CI = 1.67, 15.34), nulliparity (OR = 2.98, 95% CI = 1.31, 6.78) and the inadequacy of clinical pelvimetry (OR = 8.49, 95% CI = 1.01, 71.78), (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Risk factors for cesarean section due to CPD were EFW > 3,000 g, pre-pregnancy BMI > or = 25 kg/m2, nulliparity and the inadequacy of clinical pelvimetry. They are useful in the categorization of individual women into high and low CPD-risk groups.

Risk assessment is an important component of judicial decision-making in many areas of the law. In Australia, those convicted of terrorist offences may be the subject of continued detention in prison or extended supervision in the community if there is an "unacceptable risk" of them committing future terrorism offences. Forensic psychologists and psychiatrists may provide evidence of risk through identifying and measuring risk factors with the aid of tools that use scales based on statistical or actuarial risk prediction.

Background: The increasing awareness of the emotional consequences of emergency cesarean deliveries (C-sections) highlights their substantial role in fostering postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate the prevalence and determinants of PTSD following emergency C-sections, as well as the implications of these events on maternal mental health and welfare.
Methods: Undertaking extensive searches of Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar, we have incorporated studies published from 2013 onwards that examined the occurrence of PTSD following emergency C-sections.

Background: In USA, total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) ranks amongst the top five surgeries that require hospitalization. As a result, the healthcare system in USA could face a considerable financial strain due to the emergence of subsequent pulmonary problems. This study aimed to conduct a thorough examination of the prevalence, influential factors and medical importance of pulmonary complications, with emphasis on pneumonia, respiratory failure and pulmonary embolism (PE) following total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) procedures in USA.

Background: Umbilical outpouchings (UOs) in pigs are a multifactorial disease and little is known about effective prevention strategies and risk factors for UO development. UOs are common in Danish pigs and legislation complicates and increases the cost of keeping and raising pigs with UO. Recommendations for preventive measures exist but the scientific evidence behind the recommendations is often lacking.

Background: Pancreatic cancer is characterized by a complex tumor microenvironment that hinders effective immunotherapy. Identifying key factors that regulate the immunosuppressive landscape is crucial for improving treatment strategies.
Methods: We constructed a prognostic and risk assessment model for pancreatic cancer using 101 machine learning algorithms, identifying OSBPL3 as a key gene associated with disease progression and prognosis.
