Objective: To estimate the prevalence of true knot of the umbilical cord (TKUC) and identify associated adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Study Design: A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted, including all women with singleton pregnancies who delivered between 24 and 42 weeks of gestation from 2005 to 2021 at two large obstetrical centers. Gross pathological examinations of the placenta and umbilical cord were routinely performed immediately after delivery.

Purpose Of Review: Parasitic lung diseases occur because of transient migration of parasites in the lung or because of a subsequent immunologic reaction. The purpose of this review is to scan for any recent developments in the epidemiology, diagnostics and treatment of these exotic diseases.
Recent Findings: Disease is mostly seen in endemic countries, but with international travel, globalization and mass migration, together with their late presentations, these diseases can present worldwide, often mimicking other conditions.
Introduction Autologous breast reconstruction using free tissue transfer is widely regarded as the gold standard for oncologic reconstruction due to its reliability and high patient satisfaction. However, it is associated with challenges such as prolonged operative time, extended recovery, and potential complications. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate early and late complications, their impact on length of stay, and readmissions in a retrospective study from a single institution.
