Background: The effects of bariatric surgery (BS) on outcomes in subsequent pregnancies are unclear.
Objectives: To compare maternal and fetal outcomes among women who become pregnant after BS and obese women who have not undergone BS before pregnancy.
Search Strategy: PubMed and Embase were searched for relevant reports, and the reference lists of identified articles were hand-searched.
Selection Criteria: Cohort studies that compared outcomes among women who had undergone any type of BS and obese women who had not undergone surgery were included when results were reported as risk ratios or odds ratios (ORs).
Data Collection And Analysis: Summary ORs were estimated using a random effects model.
Main Results: Eleven studies were included. Compared with obese women who had not undergone BS, women who had undergone BS had significantly lower odds of gestational diabetes (OR 0.31; 95% CI 0.15-0.65), hypertensive disorders (OR 0.42; 95% CI 0.23-0.78), and macrosomia (OR 0.40; 95% CI 0.24-0.67). However, their odds of small-for-gestational-age newborns were increased (OR 2.16; 95% CI 1.28-3.66). No significant differences were recorded for cesarean, postpartum hemorrhage, and preterm delivery.
Conclusions: BS reduces the odds of some adverse maternal and fetal outcomes among obese women.

Background: Lung transplantation is a viable lifesaving option for patients with diffuse pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). We present a case of diffuse pulmonary AVMs associated with juvenile polyposis and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (JP-HHT) that was successfully managed by lung transplantation.

An increasing number of women are undergoing female genital cosmetic surgery (FGCS). Labiaplasty, the most commonly performed FGCS, consists of a surgical procedure to decrease the inner labia size so that no or less tissue protrudes beyond the outer labia. Anatomically, it is similar to female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) Type 2a.

After receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer, patients may experience negative physical, mental, and psychological symptoms. When excessive and uncontrollable, anxiety can become a pathological disorder. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are psychological approaches that incorporate practices individuals can use to promote awareness, nonjudgmental acceptance, and present-moment focus.

Objectives: Blood pressure (BP) management is challenging in patients with acute ischemic supratentorial stroke undergoing recanalization therapy due to the lack of established guidelines. Assessing dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) may address this need, as it is a bedside technique that evaluates the transfer function phase in the very low-frequency (VLF) range (0.02-0.

Background: Musculoskeletal (NTM) infections are rare, particularly post-acupuncture therapy, and present diagnostic challenges due to their infrequency and potential severity. Prompt recognition and appropriate management are crucial for optimal outcomes. NTM-infected wounds involving the joints are difficult to treat, and only a few cases have been reported.
