Characterizing of intra-amniotic inflammatory changes associated with chronic inflammation in the placenta marked by elevated amniotic fluid interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10) in pregnancies complicated by preterm prelabor rupture of membranes
Preterm delivery (PTD), which refers to delivery occurring before 37  weeks of gestation, is a significant contributor to perinatal mortality and morbidity, as extensively supported by research studies [1,2]. The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 13.4 million children worldwide are born preterm [2,3]. The incidence of PTD in developed countries ranges from 5 % to 12 % [2,4,5]. Preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) represents a clinical phenotype of spontaneous PTD, characterized by the rupture of the fetal membranes prior to the onset of labor and before 37 weeks of gestation.

Urinary symptoms and sexual function after hysterectomy secondary to cervical cancer: A prospective, cohort study
The global incidence of cervical cancer (CC) is about half million cases per year. Nine out of ten deaths per cervical cancer occur in underdeveloped regions, where the risk of dying from CC is three times higher than developed countries. [1].

Chemotherapy response score as a predictor of survival in ovarian cancer patients
Ovarian cancer is the main cause of mortality among gynecological cancer patients, accounting for more than 200,000 new cases annually at an international level and responsible for more than 150,000 deaths [1]. It is usually encountered in advanced stages, as symptomatology is primarily of an obstructive nature from the gastrointestinal system or the respiratory tract, depending on the site of metastases, the involvement of the bowel tract, and the severity of ascites [2]. The symptomatology in patients with early-stage disease may exceed rates of 50  % of those affected; however, it is usually subtle and may be overlook...

Overview of the current situation of embryo donation in Belgian fertility centers
Embryo donation (ED) has been legally regulated in Belgium since 2007. The 2007 law on medically assisted reproduction regulates the various aspects of medically assisted reproduction, including the donation of gametes and supernumerary embryos [1]. After a cryopreservation period of maximum five years, patients have three options when they no longer wish to keep their embryos for their own reproduction, i.e. destruction, donation for research or donation to another patient or couple. This decision is included in a written contract between the patient(s) and the fertility center, which is signed before starting the treatme...

Long-term embryo vitrification is associated with reduced success rates in women undergoing frozen embryo transfer following a failed fresh cycle
In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) techniques have enabled millions of infertile couples to achieve a pregnancy [1]. The development of cryopreservation techniques have made storage of surplus embryos viable and increase the cumulative pregnancy rate of a completed oocyte retrieval cycle [2,3].

Fluidity of equipoise in a Multi-Centred Pilot RCT: Influences on clinician Decision-Making in offering trial entry
Second trimester miscarriage and very early preterm birth is a multifactorial complex condition [1]. Women often with no previous history or identifiable risk factors can present in emergency situations with cervical dilatation and exposed, unruptured foetal membranes in the peri-viable gestation period [1,2]. Management of premature cervical dilatation is complex and the evidence for interventions to prevent premature birth is limited; the placement of Emergency Cervical Cerclage (ECC) in attempt to keep the cervix closed is sometimes considered [2].

Dose-dependent increase in risk of bleeding and bleeding complications in relation to SSRI use at delivery
Psychiatric illness during pregnancy and postpartum depression are serious conditions. Suicide is the most common indirect cause of maternal death in England, and the second most common cause of death during the first year after delivery [1,2]. Women with current or prior psychiatric symptoms, such as anxiety disorder or depression, have limited ability to adjust to the overwhelming changes that pregnancy and delivery bring, thus putting them at greater risk [1]. There is an association between untreated depression or anxiety during pregnancy and unfavourable outcomes, such as low birth weight, preterm birth, and behaviour...

We read with great interest the recent paper by Ferro and colleagues [1] detailing their experience with the vNOTES approach to gynaecological emergencies. Our unit started offering this minimally invasive route approximately 12  months previously and we would like to share our pilot data on vNOTES salpingectomies for ectopic pregnancies from January to September 2023.

Missed abortion in the 11 –21-week period: Fetal autopsy and placental histopathological analysis of 794 cases

Low uptake of gynecological consultation following domestic or sexual violence: A case-control study during pregnancy follow-up
Violenceagainst women is a majorpublic healthproblem and a violation of human rights [1]. In 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 27  % of women aged 15 to 49 had been victims of physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, including 13 % in the previous year [2]. In a meta-analysis of 10 cross-sectional studies involving 8549 women, the prevalence of lifetime sexual violence was 31 %, with higher rates among pregnant wom en and women in developing countries [3]. Psychological, physical and sexual intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual violence, whoever the perpetrator, leads to serious shor...

The effects of taping in the management of primary dysmenorrhoea: A systematic review with meta-analysis
Dysmenorrhoea, commonly known as painful menstruation, affects most women of reproductive age. The intensity of this condition can sometimes equate to the severe pain experienced during renal colic, labour, or an ectopic pregnancy [1]. Research indicates that between 60 and 93  % of women experience menstrual pain, with 42 % suffering from severe levels [2]. Dysmenorrhoea itself causes a painful and often crampy or spasmodic sensation in the lower abdomen or suprapubic region [3–5]. Associated symptoms may include back pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, fa tigue, nervousness and dizziness, a collection of w...

European Association of Perinatal Medicine (EAPM), European Board and College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (EBCOG), European Midwives Association (EMA). Joint position statement: Substandard and disrespectful care in labour – because words matter
Substandard or disrespectful care during labour should be of serious concern for healthcare professionals, as it can affect one of the most important events in a woman ’s life. Substandard care refers to the use of interventions that are not considered best-practice, to the inadequate execution of interventions, to situations where best-practice interventions are withheld from patients, or there is lack of adequate informed consent. Disrespectful care refers to forms of verbal and non-verbal communication that affect patients’ dignity, individuality, privacy, intimacy, or personal beliefs. (Source: European Journal of ...

Previous mode of delivery and pregnancy outcomes after single euploid embryo transfer: A retrospective study
It is currently estimated that the global prevalence of caesarean section is approximately 21.1  % [1]. Epidemiological studies have shown a steady increase in the caesarean section rate of 19 % from 1990 to 2018, and estimates suggest that the projected rate will be approximately 28.5 % by 2030 [2]. The incidence of caesarean section is increasing for many reasons, most of which can be attributed to the advancing age of childbearing women [3].
