The association between maternal obesity and fetomaternal outcomes in twin pregnancies.

The prevalence of overweight and obese people worldwide has dramatically increased in the last decades and is yet to peak. At the same time and partly due to obesity and associated assisted reproduction, twinning rates showed a clear rise in the last years. Adverse fetomaternal outcomes are known to occur in singleton and twin pregnancies in overweight and obese women.

The effect of the onset of labor on the characteristics of the cesarean scar.

Objective: To assess the effect of cesarean section (CS) timing, elective versus unplanned, on the residual myometrial thickness (RMT) and CS scars.

Methods: This is a prospective single-blinded observational cohort study with 186 observations. Patients indicated to undergo first singleton CS were preoperatively recruited.

Ectopic pregnancy: a single-center experience over ten years.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate characteristics associated with ectopic pregnancy (EP) that could be utilized for predicting morbidity or mortality.

Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of pregnancy-related records from a tertiary center over a period of ten years. Data on age, gravidity, parity, EP risk, amenorrhea duration, abdominal pain presence and location, β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) level, ultrasound findings, therapeutic intervention, exact EP implantation site and length of hospital stay (LOS) were obtained from the database.

Assessing lateral uterine wall defects and residual myometrial thickness after cesarean section.

Objective: Lateral wall ruptures in women with a history of cesarean section are less common but more complicated than anterior wall ruptures. Residual myometrial thickness (RMT) is believed to be valuable for assessing the probability of ruptures. This study aimed to assess the utility of OmniView (a sonographic reslicing technique) in evaluating the lateral uterine wall after cesarean section and evaluate the relationship between lateral and anterior wall RMT using OmniView and sagittal two-dimensional ultrasound.

The B-mode sonographic evaluation of the post-caesarean uterine wall and its methodology: A study protocol.

Aim: The aim of this study is to utilize the niche measurement guidelines outlined by Jordans et al. in order to establish normal values and accurate description of caesarean section scars in a normal population. After defining the normal distribution, abnormal pregestational scar characteristics will be identified for predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes.
