Background And Aims: Crohn's disease (CD) frequently affects young women and may require surgery during pregnancy. Data regarding operation for CD in expectant mothers are scare.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective nationwide survey from the GETAID Chirurgie. Any woman with CD undergoing surgery during pregnancy was eligible.
Results: A total of 15 cases were collected between 1992 and 2015. Most operations were performed due to penetrating or stricturing complications. Mean gestational age at delivery was 34 weeks, with a mean birth weight of 2507 g. Maternal post-operative complications occurred in two-thirds of cases. Maternal mortality rate was 6.7% and neonatal mortality rate 9.1%.
Conclusions: This is the largest case series of surgery for CD during pregnancy. This operation may have significant morbidity and mortality for mother, fetus, and newborn. Indication needs to be tailored to maternal status, disease severity, and gestational age. Surgery should be managed by experienced gynecologists, physicians, and surgeons. Active CD may be associated with a greater risk to the fetus than the surgical procedure itself.

Identifying Fraudulent Responses in a Study Exploring Delivery Options for Pregnancies Impacted by Gestational Diabetes: Lessons Learned From a Web-Based Survey.

Current literature is unclear on the safety and optimal timing of delivery for pregnant individuals with gestational diabetes mellitus, which inspired our study team to conduct a web-based survey study exploring patient and provider opinions on delivery options. However, an incident of fraudulent activity with survey responses prompted a shift in the focus of the research project. Unfortunately, despite the significant rise of web-based surveys used in medical research, there remains very limited evidence on the implications of and optimal methods to handle fraudulent web-based survey responses.

Purpose: The impact of ventriculomegaly (VM) on cortical development and brain functionality has been extensively explored in existing literature. VM has been associated with higher risks of attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorders, as well as cognitive, language, and behavior deficits. Some studies have also shown a relationship between VM and cortical overgrowth, along with reduced cortical folding, both in fetuses and neonates.

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders pose significant challenges in the anaesthetic management of elective caesarean section. This article explores the anaesthetic considerations for patients with PAS focusing on the optimal techniques to ensure maternal safety and surgical success. The analysis examines the advantages and disadvantages of general anaesthesia, neuraxial anaesthesia, and combined techniques to inform considerations of anaesthetic management in this high-risk population.

A young female patient suffered cardiogenic shock after undergoing surgery for an ectopic pregnancy. Coronary artery computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed a left main artery (LM) originating from the right coronary sinus and traveling between the aorta and pulmonary artery. We successfully resuscitated the patient with mechanical circulatory support using veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP).
