Introduction: Deep infiltrative endometriosis can lead to infertility with a spontaneous pregnancy rate between 8.7 and 13%. Surgical treatment of bowel endometriosis may improve spontaneous and ART fertility. The aim of this study was to evaluate post-operative fertility according to the surgical technic used (shaving vs. bowel resection).
Material And Method: A retrospective, monocentric study was carried-out in the University Hospital of Strasbourg, France, from September 2009 to October 2016. All patients with a desire to become pregnant and treated for colorectal deep infiltrating endometriosis were included. Two groups were analyzed and compared: shaving treatment vs. digestive resection (discoid or segmental). The primary outcome was pregnancy rate after surgery. Secondary outcomes were: mode of pregnancy occurrence (spontaneous versus ART), time of onset, term at birth, occurrence of complications during pregnancy.
Results: 94 patients were included (39 had a bowel resection and 55 a shaving). Both groups had similar pre-operative characteristics. The pregnancy rate was 52,1% for the total population with no significant differences between the two groups (p = 0.68). However, we found a significantly higher spontaneous pregnancies rate among the resection group with 73.7% (p = 0,0086). Pregnancy complications occurred in 50% of pregnancies, regardless of the surgical technic used.
Conclusion: This study suggests that, for patients with colorectal DIE, surgical treatment improves overall fertility. Furthermore, resection surgery seems to significantly improve the occurrence of spontaneous pregnancies. However, this surgery is not without risks and multidisciplinary discussions and thorough information to the patient are a prerequisite.

Background: Effective use of health services by pregnant and postpartum woman (PPWs) is crucial to maternal and child health. Most maternal deaths are attributed to inadequate maternal health services, especially in rural areas. As a vulnerable group, rural PPWs can effectively prevent and reduce maternal and infant health risk factors through whole-process health management and ensure the health and safety of mothers and infants.

Iron in the brain is essential to neurodevelopmental processes, as it supports neural functions, including processes of oxygen delivery, electron transport, and enzymatic activity. However, the development of brain iron before birth is scarcely understood. By estimating R2* (1/T2*) relaxometry from a sizable sample of fetal multiecho echo-planar imaging (EPI) scans, which is the standard sequence for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), across gestation, this study investigates age and sex-related changes in iron, across regions and tissue segments.

Background: Mirroring other developed countries globally, the birth rate has decreased in Finland in recent years. The effects of a fear of childbirth (FOC) and psychiatric disorders on the likelihood of having more than one child remain relatively unstudied. This study aims to assess the influence of FOC, psychiatric disorders, and the mode of first delivery on the likelihood of the second birth among primiparous women.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a predictive model for the risk of no usable blastocyst formation in patients with normal ovarian reserve undergoing IVF.
Methods: The model was derived from 7,901 patients who underwent their first oocyte retrieval and subsequent blastocyst culture, of which 446 cases have no usable blastocysts formed. Univariate regression analyses, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis were used to identify the association of patient and cycle characteristics with the presence of no available blastocyst and to create a nomogram.
Impact of early versus late artificial rupture of membranes during oxytocin induction of labour on the incidence of chorioamnionitis: a randomised controlled trial (ARM trial).

Background: The approach to induction of labour differs internationally, with timing of amniotomy being controversial. Some institutions favour performing artificial rupture of membranes prior to commencement of oxytocin infusion, with the belief that the labour will progress more efficiently. In other institutions, the approach recommended is for oxytocin infusion with intact amniotic membranes until the person has reached the active phase of labour, citing risk of infection with early amniotomy.
