Background: Numerous studies have addressed the impact of mode of delivery on the natural history of squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) in pregnant women. However, the literature is still contradictory.
Patients And Methods: In the course of a retrospective analysis, data of 63 pregnant women with abnormal cervical smears who were referred to our Outpatient Department for pre-invasive lesions of the cervix were analyzed. The study was conducted at the General Hospital in Vienna, Austria, between 2010 and 2015. Data collection included demographics, delivery route and diagnostic results of cervical lesions by cytology, colposcopy, human papilloma virus (HPV) testing, histological report of punch biopsy and, if applicable, cone biopsy.
Results: Among 63 women who met the inclusion criteria, 40 (63%) delivered vaginally and 23 (37%) underwent caesarean section. Postpartum regression of cervical dysplasia was documented in 15 women delivering vaginally and in 10 who had a caesarean section (p=0.641). Among those women who delivered vaginally, three had progression and in 22 women the lesions persisted postpartum. In the group of women with caesarean section, one had progression and the lesions of 12 women persisted after delivery. No woman had progression to invasive disease.
Conclusion: The mode of delivery does not significantly influence the natural history of cervical dysplastic lesions in pregnant women. The numbers of spontaneous regressions to normal cervical cytology during pregnancy were similar in both groups.

Background: Heterozygous TRPV4 mutations cause a group of skeletal dysplasias characterized by short stature, short trunk, and skeletal deformities.
Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the natural history of clinical and radiologic features of patients with different TRPV4-related skeletal dysplasias.
Materials And Methods: Thirteen patients with a mutation in TRPV4 were included in the study, and 11 were followed for a median of 6.

With the global rise in advanced maternal age (AMA) pregnancies, the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increases. However, few GDM prediction models are tailored for AMA women. This study aims to develop a practical risk prediction model for GDM in AMA women.

The hoarding behaviour of animals has evolved to reduce starvation risk when food resources are scarce, but effects of food limitation on survival of hoarding animals is poorly understood. Eurasian pygmy owls (Glaucidium passerinum) hoard small mammals and birds in natural cavities and nest boxes in late autumn for later use in the following winter. We studied the relative influence of the food biomass in hoards of pygmy owls on their over-winter and over-summer apparent survival.

Background: Even a gross total resection of a benign epidermoid tumor (ET) carries a high risk of recurrence. The management strategy mostly involves redo surgical excision but at a significant cost of morbidity and mortality. The role of adjuvant radiation therapies in this scenario is still undefined.

Aromia bungii is an invasive Cerambycidae of major concern at the global scale because of the damage caused to Rosaceae. Given the major phytosanitary relevance of A. bungii, predicting its spread in invaded areas and identifying possible new suitable regions worldwide remains a key action to develop appropriate management practices and optimise monitoring and early detection campaigns.
