Clinic Versus the Operating Room: Determining the Optimal Setting for Dilation and Curettage for Management of First-Trimester Pregnancy Failure.

Introduction There is no clear guidance for the optimal setting for dilation and curettage (D&C) for the management of first-trimester pregnancy failure. Identifying patients at risk of clinically significant blood loss at the time of D&C may inform a provider's decision regarding the setting for the procedure. We aimed to identify risk factors predictive for blood loss of 200mL or greater at the time of D&C.

Resilience and psychological distress in pregnant women during quarantine due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Spain: a multicentre cross-sectional online survey.

Purpose: To examine the prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms and the corresponding risk factors among pregnant women during the confinement due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Spain.

We designed an anonymous online self-administered questionnaire (https://bit.

Relationship of breast volume, obesity and central obesity with different prognostic factors of breast cancer.

The objective of this study was to investigate whether the BC tumor biology in women with larger breast volume, in obese women and especially in women with central adiposity at the moment of diagnosis of BC is more aggressive than in those women without these characteristics. 347 pre- and postmenopausal women with a recent diagnosis of BC were analyzed. In all patients, anthropometric measurements at the time of diagnosis was collected.

Understanding barriers to uptake of 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17-OHP) in women with history of preterm birth.

Premature birth is responsible for approximately 38% of infant deaths as well as a host of complications, including abnormal lung development, infection, and long-term disabilities. For women with a history of spontaneous preterm birth in a singleton pregnancy, use of 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17-OHP) can reduce the risk of a recurrent preterm birth by up to 42%. However, less than half of eligible women currently receive 17-OHP.

Current practice of HIV postexposure prophylaxis treatment for sexual assault patients in an emergency department.

Vulvar dysesthesia.

Chronic vulvar pain is a significant and misunderstood factor in women's health. Recent new definitions of chronic vulvar dysesthesia have helped to clarify the issue, however the etiology and effective treatment options remain elusive. A systematic approach to the diagnosis and treatment of vulvar dysesthesia is necessary for this difficult and challenging condition.

Human papillomatous virus infection update: impact on women's health.

Human papilloma virus (HPV) is one of the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) seen throughout the population. More than 60 types of HPV have been identified, and 20 are known to cause genital warts; other types of HPV have an oncogenic potential. During pregnancy, genital warts may grow (possibly due to a suppressed immune system) and the neonate may become exposed.

The hemodynamic effects of isometric exercise during late normal pregnancy.

Objective: Our study was designed to evaluate the hemodynamic effects of isometric exercise in late normal pregnancy.

Study Design: Study subjects were 10 healthy pregnant volunteers with uncomplicated singleton gestations between 25 and 36 weeks. Doppler methods were used to derive cardiac output, total peripheral resistance, and stroke volume before, during, and after a defined protocol of lower extremity isometric exercise.
