Background: The superior gluteal artery (SGA) is the largest, terminating branch of the internal iliac artery (IIA). Knowledge about the anatomy of the SGA is extremely important when performing numerous reconstructive and endovascular procedures.
Materials And Methods: The results of 75 consecutive patients who underwent pelvic computed tomography angiography (CTA) were analysed.
Results: A total of 145 SGAs were analysed. The origin variation of each SGA was deeply analysed. Type O1 occurred in 79 SGA (56.4%). Furthermore, analogously, branching pattern types were also established. Initially 19 branching variations were evaluated, of which types 1-7 constituted 76.5%. The median SGA length was set to be 54.88 mm (LQ = 49.63; HQ = 63.26). The median SGA origin diameter, in cases of SGA originating from PDIIA, was set to be 6.27 mm (LQ = = 5.56; HQ = 6.87).
Conclusions: The origin of the said artery showed a low grade of variability, and the most prevalent origin type of the SGA was similar to the one presented by the major anatomical textbooks, namely, the PDIIA. However, the branching pattern of the SGA was highly variable. To present the anatomy of the SGA in a clear and straight-forward way, novel classification systems of the origin and branching patterns were made. Furthermore, the morphometric properties of the branches of the PDIIA were analysed. It is hoped that the results of the present study may be useful for physicians performing numerous reconstructive and endovascular procedures.

Background: The accuracy of low birth weight (LBW) and small for gestational age (SGA) in administrative healthcare records is crucial for perinatal studies but has few validity studies.
Methods: Using 1999-2010 MAX linked to birth certificates (BC), we identified mother-infant dyads (≥30 days enrollment after delivery, with valid gestational age (GA) and birth weight (BW)). LBW and SGA were identified based on ICD-9-CM codes.

Objectives: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of homelessness shortly before or during pregnancy and describe differences in maternal characteristics and adverse birth outcomes between people reporting homelessness and not reporting homelessness.
Methods: We used 2016-2020 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) data from 31 sites to estimate the prevalence of self-reported homelessness during the 12 months before giving birth. We used logistic regression models to evaluate the association between homelessness and adverse birth outcomes, specifically small for gestational age (SGA), low birth weight (LBW), and preterm birth (PTB).

Background: In recent decades, relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) became more treatable through new disease-modifying therapies (DMTs). Identifying safe treatments with minimal fetal risks for family planning is needed.
Methods: In this prospective cohort from the German MS and Pregnancy Registry (DMSKW), we analyzed pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in MS-patients using descriptive statistics and logistic/linear regression models to compare DMT-exposed pregnancies to DMT-unexposed pregnancies.

Background: Overweight and obesity are global issues, especially among women of childbearing age, linked to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. These risks vary by age, race, and ethnicity, with increasing rates among immigrant and minority women. This study compares overweight and obesity rates, pregnancy weight gain, and neonatal outcomes in Turkish and Syrian immigrant/refugee women.

Background/objectives: Understanding the dynamic changes in nutritional status of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) during chemotherapy is crucial, as it significantly impacts chemotherapy-related toxicity and survival outcomes.
Subjects/methods: This multi-center study included newly diagnosed NHL patients. Nutritional status and chemotherapy-related toxic effects were assessed over the first five chemotherapy sessions, with follow-ups conducted every 3 months.
