Article Abstract
This study analyzes occurrence of ectopic pregnancies in women using intrauterine contraceptive devices. During a 5-year period, 1990-1994, 524 women with ectopic pregnancies underwent surgery at our Clinic, while 22 (4.2%) had intrauterine devices. At admission most patients had signs of heavy intraabdominal bleeding, so in 77.27% cases the diagnosis was made by punction of the Douglas area, and only in 9.09% by laparoscopy, that is other methods for early detection of diseases. Rupture of the fallopian tube occurred in 50% of patients, tubal abortions in 36.36% and ovarian pregnancies in 13.64%, whereas 18 salpingectomies and 4 adnexectomies were performed. Late diagnosis and impossibility of performing conservative operations on fallopian tubes are the consequence of disregarding the possibility of getting pregnant by the users of intrauterine devices themselves, as well as by physicians whose help is asked for after symptoms appear.

Nicotine is one of the most toxic substances found in cigarettes, but also found in chewing tobacco gum, patches and vaping products (electronic cigarettes). In addition to being a highly addictive chemical, it is capable of reducing fertility in men and women. In the ovaries, it can induce morphological changes and impair the formation of follicles, being a possible cause of changes in the reproductive cycle and anticipation of menopause in women whose mothers smoked during pregnancy.

Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) which is judged based on birth weight and gestational age, is associated with increased neonatal mobility and mortality and also has a further impact on physical and mental health during later in life. Using the birth weight percentile for singletons to assess twins might not accurately reflect the growth status of the twins; this could potentially lead to an incorrect evaluation of growth-restricted children. For a more precise assessment of twin newborns, it is beneficial to utilize twin-specific birth weight percentile curves and ponderal index (PI) curves that consider factors such as birth order and sex.

Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a rare but serious complication that can develop during pregnancy, with up to 30% of patients presenting with euglycemia, making prompt recognition challenging. It is associated with increased perinatal mortality rates, although the exact risk of maternal mortality remains unclear. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the available literature and provide an overview of reported cases of DKA during pregnancy.
