The Impact on Birth Outcomes of Sonographic Fetal Weight Estimation in Neonatal Macrosomia
Conclusion Larger EFW increased CD risk among pregnancies with actual neonatal macrosomia. Antenatally suspected macrosomia might alter labor management due to concerns for potential complications, especially when associated with primiparity, diabetes mellitus, or maternal obesity. The increase in the CD rate did not show an association with improved maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Identifying ChatGPT-written Patient Education Materials Using Text Analysis and Readability
Conclusion As ChatGPT is more widely integrated into medicine, it will be important for health care stakeholders to have tools to separate originally written documents from those generated by AI. While more robust analyses may be required to determine the authenticity of articles written by complex AI technology in the future, simple grammatical analysis can accurately characterize current AI-generated texts with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity.

Perioperative Hypothermia in Elderly Patients During Pelvic Floor Reconstruction Surgery: An Observational Study
ConclusionsThis observational prospective study identified several predictive factors for perioperative hypothermia in elderly patients during pelvic floor reconstruction surgery. Strategies aimed at preventing perioperative hypothermia should target these factors. Further studies are required to assess the effectiveness of these strategies, specifically in elderly patients undergoing pelvic floor reconstruction surgery.

Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Toward Medication Use During Pregnancy: A Hospital-Based Cross-Sectional Survey
ConclusionThe study concludes that pregnant women have good knowledge, and positive attitudes toward safe medication use; still there is a wide gap in transforming this knowledge and behavior into real practice. So, to address the gap identified in the practice of pregnant women, a hospital or community-based sensitization program can be conducted targeting young age, rural residents, illiterates, and non-healthcare professional groups on medication safety during pregnancy.

ConclusionAwareness of FGS was limited among the study participants. The high prevalence of knowledge of some FGS symptoms related to the genitalia needs cautious interpretation.

Multidisciplinary Approach to Evaluation of Rectovaginal Fistulas
Thorough evaluation of a rectovaginal fistula (RVF) is essential to optimize surgical repair. The underlying cause should be addressed and treated, which can affect the timing as well as approach to repair. It is imperative to be well-prepared as the highest chance of successful closure occurs during the initial repair attempt. Our objective is to demonstrate how multidisciplinary colorectal surgery and urogynecology teams use specific methods during exam under anesthesia to evaluate a complex RVF and optimize surgical approach to repair.
