Background: Renal colics due to urinary stones are also common in women of childbearing age whether pregnant or not.
Aim: Through a review of literature, we evaluated diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in renal colic in pregnancy and lactation.
Methods: Review of literature.
Results: The clinical diagnosis is sometimes difficult requiring additional medical imaging based on ultrasound. Other radiological investigations using X-rays are formally forbidden. The prescription of analgesic treatment during pregnancy and lactation must take into account mainly the teratogenic risk in addition to maternal risk by altering drug pharmacokinetics during pregnancy.
Conclusion: During pregnancy, NSAIDs are prohibited because of their teratogenicity effect. Salicylates and opiates should be used with care, especially in cases of threat of confinement. Paracetamol remains the treatment of choice. Salicylates and corticosteroids should be used with caution during lactation.

Background And Aims: Celiac disease (CeD) affects 1-2% of the world's population. The aim of this study was to relate the incidence of CeD-related serological markers to symptoms, pathologies, and environmental exposure to wheat flour, given the number of flour mills present in the region.
Materials & Methods: Serum samples were collected from 537 inhabitants from a rural city.
Low-Dose Prophylactic Oral Iron Supplementation (Ferrous Fumarate, Ferrous Bisglycinate, and Ferrous Sulphate) in Pregnancy Is Not Associated With Clinically Significant Gastrointestinal Complaints: Results From Two Randomized Studies.

Article Synopsis
- Many pregnant women hesitate to take oral iron supplements due to fears of gastrointestinal (GI) side effects, leading to a study comparing the effects of three different iron formulas on GI complaints in healthy pregnant women.* -
- Two double-blind studies were conducted, involving a total of 482 women, to assess side effects like nausea, constipation, and black stools from different iron dosages and formulas during pregnancy.* -
- Among the iron supplements tested, ferrous bisglycinate at 25 mg showed the least GI side effects, while higher doses of ferrous fumarate resulted in more constipation and black stools, indicating it might be the least preferable option for pregnant women.*

Objective: To compare neonatal outcomes following URS, stent, or PCN in pregnant women presenting with suspected renal colic.
Methods: Women undergoing a procedure for suspected renal colic during pregnancy at a large multi-center institution between 2008 and 2022 were retrospectively reviewed and categorized by initial intervention. Neonatal outcomes were recorded and linked to maternal and obstetric data.
Is domestic violence during COVID-19 in lactating women related to infantile colic? An important question.

Department of Basic Sciences, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between domestic violence against breastfeeding mothers during COVID-19 and the occurrence of infantile colic, as maternal stress can impact infants via breast milk.
- Conducted with 356 breastfeeding mothers, the research utilized questionnaires to assess demographics and experiences of domestic violence, with statistical analysis performed using SPSS software.
- Findings indicated higher instances of sexual violence among mothers of infants with colic, and while there was a greater likelihood of colic in infants from mothers who faced domestic violence, the results weren't statistically significant; significant correlations were noted between infantile colic, history of abortion, and cesarean section.

Introduction: Anesthesia choice during the procedural management of suspected renal colic during pregnancy may vary based on available resources and patient or provider preferences, as there are no specific recommendations. Our objective was to evaluate whether preterm birth (<37 weeks) was associated with anesthesia type, anesthesia timing by trimester, or procedure type.
Methods: We retrospectively identified pregnant patients who required procedural management with ureteral stent, percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN), or ureteroscopy (URS) for suspected renal colic based on laboratory and imaging findings from 2009-2021 at our center.
