Live birth derived from a markedly large polar body oocyte: a rare case report
In this study, it is revealed for the first time that a huge PB1 oocyte can be fertilized, resulting in the growth of a blastocyst, a subsequent pregnancy, and a live birth. This new information prompts us to reconsider the use of large PB1 oocytes. More insightful talks should be given attention to prevent the waste of embryos because not all oocytes with aberrant morphology are unavailable.PMID:38619002 | DOI:10.1017/S0967199424000054 (Source: Zygote)

The NF κB Signaling Pathway Is Involved in the Pathophysiological Process of Preeclampsia
Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd. 2024 Apr 10;84(4):334-345. doi: 10.1055/a-2273-6318. eCollection 2024 Apr.ABSTRACTThe high prevalence of preeclampsia (PE) is a major cause of maternal and fetal mortality and affects the long-term prognosis of both mother and baby. Termination of pregnancy is currently the only effective treatment for PE, so there is an urgent need for research into its pathogenesis and the development of new therapeutic approaches. The NFκB family of transcription factors has an essential role in inflammation and innate immunity. In this review, we summarize the role of NFκB in normal and preeclampsia pregnan...

Is Appendectomy During Late Stages of Pregnancy Associated with an Increased Cesarean Delivery Rate? - a Retrospective Analysis of One Center During 10 Years
CONCLUSION: In this small monocentric cohort, only open appendectomies were performed. Our data indicate that it is safe to perform open appendectomy during pregnancy if necessary. In this small patient group, there was an increase in simultaneous cesarean deliveries.PMID:38618579 | PMC:PMC11006560 | DOI:10.1055/a-2273-2672 (Source: Geburtshilfe und Frauenheilkunde)

Sarcoidosis in pregnancy
Key content:
Sarcoidosis is an uncommon multi-system disorder characterised by the presence of non-caseating granulomas. It has a peak incidence between the ages of 20 –40 years old.
The pathogenesis of sarcoidosis is uncertain; however, it is known to be associated with an exaggerated T helper 1 (TH1) immune response leading to systemic inflammation and granuloma formation.
Suppression in TH1 responses in pregnancy leads to disease remission in the majority of pregnancies. Nevertheless, the potential for decompensation in a subgroup remains, and consideration should be given to the pre-pregnancy state.
Sarcoidos...

Evaluation of the Patients with the Diagnosis of Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia: A Multicenter National Study
AbstractPontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH) is a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by hypoplasia and degeneration of the cerebellum and pons. We aimed to identify the clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings of the patients with diagnosed PCH with confirmed genetic analysis. We collected available clinical data, laboratory, and imaging findings in our retrospective multicenter national study of 64 patients with PCH in Turkey. The genetic analysis included the whole-exome sequencing (WES), targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS), or single gene analysis. Sixty-four patients with PCH were 28 f...

Characteristics Associated with Trial of Labor among Patients with Twin Pregnancies
Conclusion In this cohort of twin gestations with a high frequency of TOL, patient and provider characteristics are associated with attempting vaginal delivery. Variation in provider practices suggests differing skills and comfort with twin vaginal delivery may influence route of delivery decision-making in patients with twins.

Is social media our new quitline? A descriptive study assessing youtube coverage of tobacco cessation
ConclusionsEnvironmental exposure presents significant risks for acute and chronic diseases for both smokers and nonsmokers, and specific risks for children and pregnant women, and this requires further investigation. Education for individuals, families and communities on tobacco cessation can help people achieve cessation. Social media such as YouTube promises to reach large audiences at low cost without requiring high reading literacy. Additional attention is needed to create videos with up-to-date, accurate information that can engage consumers. (Source: Journal of Preventive Medicine and Hygiene)
