Helicobacter pylori infection and pre-eclampsia in a Romanian study group
It has been suggested that Helicobacter pylori infection could contribute to the etiopathogenesis of pre-eclampsia by inducing a pro-inflammatory state [1]. The cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) antigen, an indicator of a highly virulent strain of H. pylori, can stimulate the production of specific antibodies that can recognize cytotrophoblast-cell antigens, impairing their function and placental development [2]. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of seropositivity for IgG antibodies targeting H. (Source: International Journal of Gynaecology and Obstetrics)

Tunisian experience of low-cost self-created transobturator tape for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence
The transobturator approach for the management of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) using tension-free vaginal tape has gained popularity worldwide owing to its simplicity and low morbidity. However, the high cost of commercial tape strips is a significant limitation to their use; in Tunisia, the price of strips can reach €340. To reduce costs, the aim of the present study was to develop a self-created mesh sling (SCMS) from polyethylene mesh and to investigate outcomes of using it in the surgical treatment of SUI.
