Mashup Score: 0Quality of life after risk-reducing surgery for breast and ovarian cancer prevention: a systematic review and meta-analysis - 1 year(s) ago
To assess the impact of risk-reducing surgery (RRS) for breast cancer (BC) and ovarian cancer (OC) prevention on quality-of-life (QoL). We consider risk-reducing mastectomy (RRM), risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO), and risk-reducing early-salpingectomy and delayed-oophorectomy (RRESDO).

Mashup Score: 0Abnormal fetal heart rate patterns caused by pathophysiologic processes other than fetal acidemia - 1 year(s) ago
Fetal acidemia is a common final pathway to fetal death, and in many cases, to fetal central nervous system injury. However, certain fetal pathophysiological processes are associated with significant category II or category III fetal heart rate changes before the development of or in the absence of fetal acidemia. The most frequent of these processes include fetal infection and/or inflammation,…

Mashup Score: 2Epidural-related maternal fever: incidence, pathophysiology, outcomes, and management - 1 year(s) ago
Epidural-related maternal fever affects 15% to 25% of patients who receive a labor epidural. Two meta-analyses demonstrated that epidural-related maternal fever is a clinical phenomenon, which is unlikely to be caused by selection bias. All commonly used neuraxial techniques, local anesthetics with or without opioids, and maintenance regimens are associated with epidural-related maternal fever,…

Mashup Score: 0Meconium-stained amniotic fluid - 1 year(s) ago
Green-stained amniotic fluid, often referred to as meconium-stained amniotic fluid, is present in 5% to 20% of patients in labor and has been traditionally considered an obstetrical hazard. Discolored amniotic fluid has been attributed to the presence of heme catabolic products from the passage of fetal colonic content (meconium), intraamniotic bleeding, or both. The frequency of green-stained…

Mashup Score: 6The implications of the Fetal Medicine Foundation 35- to 36-week preeclampsia prediction competing-risk model on timing of birth - 1 year(s) ago
Preeclampsia is associated with increased risks of life-threatening, -altering, and -ending complications. Assessment of risk for preeclampsia at 35 to 36 weeks’ gestation by the Fetal Medicine Foundation 36-week competing-risk model identifies approximately 75% of women who will develop term preeclampsia, at a 10% screen-positive rate.

Mashup Score: 0
On April 5, 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) withdrew approval of 17-alpha hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17-OHPC), effective immediately, due to lack of evidence that it reduces the risk of recurrent spontaneous preterm birth (PTB). This decision withdraws approval for all formulations of 17-OHPC (both intramuscular and subcutaneous) and applies to both brand name (Makena) and…

Mashup Score: 3
Fertility-sparing treatment in patients with cervical cancer should, in principle, follow identical algorithms to that in patients without future reproductive plans. In recent years, a trend toward nonradical procedures, such as conization or simple trachelectomy, has become apparent in medical literature, because of their associations with better pregnancy outcomes. However, the published…

Mashup Score: 6Dysfunctional labor and delivery: adverse effects on offspring - 1 year(s) ago
There is no doubt that parturition can produce fetal and neonatal adversity, but the frequency with which this occurs is uncertain, particularly in modern healthcare settings. Moreover, there is a paucity of recent studies in this area. Substantial challenges impede epidemiologic study of the effect of parturition on offspring. Randomized trials would be ethically fraught. Therefore, large…
