Fetal aortic isthmus Doppler assessment to predict the adverse perinatal outcomes associated with fetal growth restriction: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) management and delivery planning is based on a multimodal approach. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prognostic accuracies of the aortic isthmus Doppler to predict adverse perinatal outcomes in singleton pregnancies with FGR.

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.

Indocyanine Green Fluorescence-Guided Sentinel Node Biopsy in Breast Cancer Within a North African Population: A Retrospective Study.

Objective: Radio isotopes and blue dyes alone or in combination are the most commonly used tracer agents in sentinel node (SN) biopsy for early breast cancer. Recent studies have found fluorescence method using indocyanine green (ICG) as a promising technology with fewer disadvantages.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis of our database that included patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer scheduled for breast surgery and SN biopsy between 2016 and January 2021.

Use of indocyanine green for detecting sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer: letter to the editor.

In a previous issue of the journal, Oldřich Coufal and Vuk Fait reported a pilot study that specifically addressed the use of indocyanine green for detecting sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer within a European population. They concluded that fluorescence method cannot currently be considered a method fully comparable with using radioisotopes in this setting. We consider that the absence of a learning curve, the low mean of retrieved sentinel nodes, and the possibility that migration of indocyanine green occurred after the initial biopsy limit the strength of their conclusion.

The effect of placental removal method at cesarean delivery on perioperative hemorrhage: a randomized clinical trial ISRCTN 49779257.

Objectives: To evaluate whether the method of placental removal during cesarean section has an impact on perioperative hemorrhage and maternal infectious morbidity.

Study Design: Three hundred and two patients admitted for abdominal delivery were recruited in a prospective randomized clinical intention-to-treat trial. Participants were assigned to have their placenta removed either manually or spontaneously.
