Donor‐To‐Recipient Mean Axonal Count Ratios of Upper Limb Nerves Used in Nerve Transfer Surgery: A Systematic Review of Histomorphometric Cadaveric Studies

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nerve transfer surgery may be performed to restore sensorimotor function following peripheral nerve trauma or dysfunction. There is biological plausibility and limited correlative evidence that donor‐to‐recipient axon count ratios may impact functional outcomes.

A comparison in maternal and neonatal outcomes between mild fundal pressure and vacuum extraction for shortening the second stage of labor

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Mild fundal pressure (MFP) and vacuum extraction (VE) are interventions used during the second stage of labor when clinical intervention is required. While VE is well established with standardized training and predictable risks, MFP remains controversial with limited comparative data. This study aimed to compare maternal and neonatal

Severe maternal and neonatal morbidity or mortality in forceps versus cesarean birth in the second stage of labor: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Approximately one in four first‐time mothers reach the second stage of labor but cannot have a spontaneous vaginal birth, necessitating an intervention such as forceps to facilitate birth. Objective This study synthesizes evidence comparing severe maternal morbidity (SMM) and neonatal morbidity or mortality (SNMM) following forceps ...
