Article Abstract
Rectal foreign bodies are not uncommon as previously thought and should be recognised as a potentially serious condition. The diagnosis is often delayed due to patient embarrassment and reluctance to seek medical help, which may increase the likelihood of complications. Clinicians should be aware of this condition, as it may be a manifestation of underlying psychiatric conditions, drug trafficking or due to sexual assault.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to compare prenatal care access and utilization between Italian and foreign women in Trento, Italy, focusing on visit scheduling, diagnostic tests, and healthcare services from 2012 to 2016.
- Data from 23,165 women showed that foreign women had significantly fewer prenatal tests, visits, and ultrasounds, along with later first appointments and lower participation in antenatal classes compared to Italian women.
- Findings suggest that social factors like unemployment and lower education levels among the foreign population contribute to health inequalities in prenatal care access and should be addressed to improve equity.
