Rare case of postnatal diagnosed twin anemia-polycythemia sequence in mcda twins with normal mca -psv Doppler
Introduction: Twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS) is a form of TTTS characterized by a significant discordance in hemoglobin level between twins without significant amniotic fluid discordance.MCA-PSV is considered to be gold standard to diagnose TAPS. However, we had a case with normal MCA PSV who postnatally diagnosed as TAPS. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)

All-fours position vs traditional position in women undergoing vacuum-assisted delivery: the vavade-4 randomized trial protocol
Introduction and aims of the study: All-fours position has several advantages due to the increase in the posterior diameter of the pelvis and higher mobility of the sacrum, with easier descent of the fetal head and greater chance of posterior to anterior occiput rotation.

Acute abdominal pain caused by previously undiagnosed ruptured mucinous carcinoma in pregnancy
Introduction and aims of the study: Ovarian cancer incidence during pregnancy is rare (estimated as 1:10,000 to 1:50,000) but is second most frequent gynecological cancer diagnosed during pregnancy. Only 3 to 6% of all pregnancy-associated ovarian cysts are malignant, their diagnosis and management are complicated due to the lack of evidence from large randomized trials and cohort studies. The incidence of discovery of adnexal masses has increased with routine use of ultrasound during pregnancy. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)

Vaginal birth after two caesarean (VBAC-2) – a retrospective analysis of different delivery modes
Introduction: The total number of deliveries by caesarean section has significantly increased throughout the past decades. This leads to a direct rise in patients being pregnant after two caesarean deliveries. As of today, there is a lack of evidence-based data for appropriate mode of delivery consultation of these patients. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)

Letrozole as an alternative in the conservative management of tubal pregnancy: is it effective?
Introduction and objectives: It is hypothesized that the inhibition of estradiol production by administration of letrozole may interfere with physiological effects of progesterone necessary to maintain the pregnancy. Treatment of tubal pregnancy with letrozole would allow to avoid the adverse effects of methotrexate (MTX) in women who decline surgery. The aim was to compare the effectiveness of letrozole with MTX in the management of tubal pregnancy. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)

Association between hba1c levels and adverse pregnancy outcomes
Despite optimization of metabolic balance during pregnancy in GDM (Gestational Diabetes Mellitus), maternal and fetal complications remain higher than in the background population. Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a strong indicator of the median glucose blood levels for the three months before the analysis. During pregnancy, the ideal HbA1c level should be lower than the recommended values. HbA1c levels are a strong predictor of maternal and fetal complications.

Evaluation of pdgf-ab, pdgf-bb, tgf- α, EGF and ang-2 as potential biomarkers in the diagnosis of endometrial cancer
This study aimed to investigate whether PDGF-AB, PDGF-BB, TGF- α, EGF, and ANG-2 could be considered as new useful markers for diagnosis of endometrial cancer. 93 women diagnosed with endometrial cancer (EC) and 66 patients with non-cancerous endometrial lesions (NCEL) were included in this study. The preoperative plasma PDGF-AB, PDGF-BB, TGF-α, EGF, and ANG- 2 levels were determined by a enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (SunRed Biotechnology, Shanghai) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.
