Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine in a sequential unselected sample of nonpregnant women whether an anteverted retroflexed uterine position develops after cesarean delivery and to see whether the amount of myometrial thinning related to cesarean delivery affects the development of an anteverted retroflexed uterine position.
Materials And Methods: Images from 641 consecutive transvaginal ultrasound examinations performed between 2008 and 2011 in which a uterus was present were reviewed and archived. The series was analyzed in three groups: patients who underwent cesarean delivery, patients who were parous but had not undergone cesarean delivery, and patients who were nulliparous. The uterine axis was categorized as anteverted, anteverted and anteflexed, retroverted, retroverted and retroflexed, anteverted and retroflexed, retroverted and anteflexed, and axial, that is, in the same axis as the vagina.
Results: An anteverted retroflexed uterine position was found in 27% of women after cesarean delivery. It was rare when no cesarean section had been performed, being found in 1% of those women, and was not seen in nulliparous women.
Conclusion: An anteverted retroflexed uterine position is a common consequence of cesarean delivery but is rarely seen in other parous women.

Background: Myelomeningocele (MMC) is the most common type of congenital spinal malformation, typically requiring surgical intervention. While prenatal repair is increasingly favored, postnatal repair remains the standard in many settings. This study aims to evaluate the antibiotics prescribed to neonates with MMC and their correlation with central nervous system (CNS) infection rates following postnatal surgical repair.

AbstractMorning Report is a time-honored tradition where physicians-in-training present cases to their colleagues and clinical experts to collaboratively examine an interesting patient presentation. The Morning Report section seeks to carry on this tradition by presenting a patient's chief concern and story, inviting the reader to develop a differential diagnosis and discover the diagnosis alongside the authors of the case. This report examines the story of a 26-year-old woman who developed acute hepatocellular liver injury following a cesarean delivery for fetal distress.

The benefits and risks of delivery should always be considered before initiating preinduction cervical ripening and labor induction. Understanding the benefits and potential complications is crucial for healthcare professionals to make informed decisions and provide optimal care. The research was conducted retrospectively between January 2019 and July 2022.

Background: Obesity and excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) have been linked to an increased risk of cesarean section. However, existing literature primarily focuses on weight gain during individual trimesters, lacking a comprehensive assessment of GWG trajectories across all three trimesters. This study aimed to investigate the impact of pre-pregnancy BMI and changes in GWG trajectories from the first to the third trimester on cesarean section in women with confirmed gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
