Background: This study has taken into account the modalities of delivery during years 1983-1996 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the "Spirito Santo" Hospital in Pescara.
Methods: Delivery methods of gravidae already subjected to a caesarean in the last seven years (1990-1996) have been examined and the single and multiple indications of a repeated caesarean have been analyzed considering also the modalities in dealing with the labour after a previous caesarean.
Results: The data obtained underline a minimum variability in the incidence of vaginal delivery, while among the operative deliveries, a marked reduction in the application of forceps and a more substantial rise of the caesarean in the last three years have been observed.
Conclusions: The conclusion is drawn that the wide variability in the incidence of caesarean section among the several populations, as well as among the several Centres of the same population, is not justified and that in order to reverse this trend it is necessary to analyze the reasons for the use of a caesarean section, limiting such practice to particular indications. Moreover, it should always be taken into account the natural labour in women already subjected to one or more caesarean sections, in order to limit the operative delivery to necessary cases.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is rare during pregnancy and current data on the impact of AF during delivery is scarce. In this study, we aim to analyze the impact of AF in patients who underwent delivery via cesarean section (CS), natural spontaneous delivery (NSD), or instrumental delivery (ID).
Methods: This study analyzed discharge data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2016 to 2020.
Women's experience of body weight management during and post-pregnancy: a mixed methods approach.

Background: Gaining excessive weight during pregnancy has been linked with adverse effects including increased risk of caesarean delivery and postpartum weight retention. Despite these recognised risks, currently no UK/Ireland gestational weight gain (GWG) guidelines exist, women are not routinely weighed throughout pregnancy and consequently, women's understanding of the importance of weight management during, and post-pregnancy remains poor. The present study explored factors influencing weight change during and post-pregnancy and identified potential opportunities that could help women manage weight during these periods.

Objective: We examined the role of myofibroblasts in regulating Cx43 and collagen structure in iatrogenic preterm amniotic membrane (AM) defects subjected to mechanical stimulation.
Method: Preterm AM specimens were collected from women undergoing planned preterm caesarean section after in utero intervention for correction of spina bifida by open fetal surgery (n = 4 patients; preterm delivery at 34 + 0 weeks to 35 + 0 weeks). Control specimens taken 5 cm away from the open fetal surgery defect site were compared with wound edge AM.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of comprehensive nursing and the ISBAR handover method on patients suffering from placental abruption.
- The research involved two groups of patients; one receiving traditional care and handover processes, while the other group received enhanced nursing care combined with ISBAR from May 2022 to June 2023.
- Results indicated that the observation group had better delivery outcomes, lower complication rates, improved nurse handover quality, and higher patient satisfaction compared to the control group.
