Placental weight percentile curves in a Danish population
ConclusionsThese percentile curves may serve as a reference for other populations, and may be useful for other studies investigating the role of the placenta in relation to pregnancy outcomes, and health in later life. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

Subsequent pregnancy outcomes after second trimester miscarriage or termination for medical/fetal reason: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis of observational studies
ConclusionsVery low certainty evidence suggests there may be an increased risk of preterm birth in a subsequent pregnancy after a late miscarriage. However, evidence is limited. Larger, higher quality cohort studies are needed to investigate this potential association. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

First experience with the Hugo ™ robot‐assisted surgery system for endometriosis: A descriptive study
ConclusionsIn this pilot study, we found the Medtronic Hugo ™ RAS system safe and feasible for robot-assisted surgery for endometriosis. The advent of new robotic systems is welcomed to accelerate the development of technology that will advance surgical care for patients across the globe.

Identification of depression and anxiety during pregnancy: A  systematic review and meta‐analysis of test accuracy
ConclusionsFindings from the meta-analysis suggest that the EPDS alone is not perfectly suitable for detection of major depressive disorder during pregnancy. Few studies have evaluated the other instruments, therefore, their usefulness for identification of women with depression and anxiety during pregnancy remains very uncertain. At present, case-identification with any tool may best serve as a complement to a broader dialogue between healthcare professionals and their patients.

Adrenal volumes in fetuses delivering prior to 32  weeks' gestation: An MRI pilot study
ConclusionsAdrenal: body volume ratios are significantly larger in fetuses who go on to deliver preterm than those delivering at term. Adrenal volumes were not significantly larger, we hypothesize that this could be due to an adrenal atrophy in fetuses with fulminating chorioamnionitis. A straightforward relationship of adrenal size being increased prior to preterm birth should not be assumed. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

Prevalence of lumbopelvic pain during pregnancy: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis of cross‐sectional studies
ConclusionsLumbopelvic pain during pregnancy is common; about three-fifths of pregnant women experience LPP. More prevention and intervention research for lumbopelvic should be conducted in pregnant women with different clinical characteristics. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

Self ‐reported distress and problems after treatment for gynecological cancer – Correlation between a short screening tool and longer measures of anxiety/depression and health‐related quality of life
ConclusionsThe NCCN DTPL can be used as a screening measure for self-reported distress and problems after treatment for gynecological cancer. A score of ≥5 on DT may indicate high level of anxiety/depression as measured by HADS. The tool may help identify patients in need of referral to supportive care and rehabilitation facilities.

Longitudinal MRI in the context of in utero surgery for open spina bifida: A descriptive study
ConclusionsThere was timely access to supervised MRI for OSB fetal surgery assessment. However, the provision of images of the fetal brain and spine in sufficient orthogonal planes, which are required for determining eligibility and to determine the reversal of hindbrain herniation after fetal surgery, were less frequently acquired. Our evidence suggests the need for specific guidance in relation to fetal MRI for OSB. We propose an example guidance for MRI acquisition and reporting.

Fear of childbirth after induced abortion in primiparous women: Population ‐based register study from Finland
ConclusionsA history of IA is associated with increased odds for FOC in subsequent pregnancy. However, the associations of FOC with a history of psychiatric diagnosis and elevated maternal age (especially ≥40 years old) are more pronounced. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)

Automated quantitative evaluation of fetal atrioventricular annular plane systolic excursion before and after intrauterine blood transfusion in pregnancies affected by red blood cell alloimmunization

Breast cancer during pregnancy —The oncologist's point of view
AbstractBreast cancer is the most common malignancy diagnosed during or directly after pregnancy. Differences in pathogenesis and prognosis identify two distinct patient groups, those with breast cancer during pregnancy and those with postpartum breast cancer which, for reasons not completely understood, is associated with worse outcomes. Compared with breast cancer in the non-pregnant patient, several limitations in terms of both local and systemic therapy are applied to limit fetal harm. Treatment is nevertheless delivered with curative intent, therefore avoiding harmful delays in therapy initiation, unnecessary therapy ...
