Objective: This study aims to characterize the women's health care pathway and to evaluate the rate of complications during a surgical abortion according to the technique of dilatation and evacuation between 14 and 16 SA.
Method: Single-center prospective study at the Armand Trousseau Hospital with inclusion of women who had an abortion between 14 and 16 GA in the Obstetrics & Gynecology Department of the Armand Trousseau Hospital between March 2 and October 31, 2022.
Results: Forty-six women underwent an abortion during this 8-month period. The average gestational age at which the abortions were performed was 15 weeks' gestation with an median delay of 14.0 days between the date of discovery of the pregnancy and the date of the abortion with more than half of the women (65.2 %, N=30) having consulted for the first time for an abortion request before 14 weeks' gestation. Of these women, 22 (48.9%) had to consult several hospitals before being treated. One woman (2.2% 95% CI [0.0-6.4]) had a haemorrhage defined by bleeding more than 500ml. Cervical suture for cervical tear was performed in four women (8.7% 95% CI [0.0-16.8]). There were no complications such as perforation, postoperative infection or surgical revision. No women were transfused.
Conclusion: The introduction in our center of surgical abortion using the dilatation and evacuation technique performed between 14 and 16 weeks' gestation wasn't accompanied by significant morbidity. The women's pathway before the procedure probably contributed to the later performance of the abortion.

Problem: Regulatory B-cells (Bregs, CD19CD24CD38) are a specialized B-cell subset that suppresses immune responses and potentially contribute to the maintenance of an immune-privileged environment for fetal development during pregnancy. However, little is known about the surrounding immunological environment of Bregs in gestational physiology. The relationship of regulatory T-cells (Tregs, CD4CD25CD127FoxP3) to Bregs in coordinating immunoregulation during pregnancy is unknown.

Objective: This study explores a hybrid approach to maternal-fetal care for gestational diabetes (GD), integrating virtual visits seamlessly with in-clinic assessments. We assessed the feasibility, time efficiency, patient satisfaction, and clinical outcomes to facilitate wider adoption of maternal-fetal telemedicine.
Methods: We conducted a 4-week prospective study involving 20 women with GD at ≥32 weeks of pregnancy, alternating between remote and in-clinic weekly visits.

Importance: Neonatal protein intake following very preterm birth has long lasting effects on brain development. However, it is uncertain whether these effects are associated with improved or impaired brain maturation.
Objective: To assess the association of neonatal protein intake following very preterm birth with brain structure at 7 years of age.

Purpose: Professional bodies currently advise all pregnant individuals undertake confirmatory prenatal diagnostic testing following preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic conditions (PGT-M). We aimed to ascertain the uptake of prenatal diagnostic testing following PGT-M in a large single-centre population.
Methods: This observational linkage study was undertaken using routinely collected outcome data from PGT-M cycles performed at one of Australia's largest PGT-M providers and a statewide dataset of all prenatal samples undergoing cytogenetic analysis in Victoria, Australia, between 2015 and 2022.

Pregnancy loss is a significant concern worldwide, encompassing miscarriage and stillbirth. Miscarriage, defined as the loss of a baby before 28 weeks of gestation, accounts for approximately 15% of pregnancies. Stillbirth, occurring at or after 28 weeks of gestation, affects nearly 2.
