Reducing post‐cesarean sepsis: Current best practice in prevention and treatment

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cesarean section is the most common surgical procedure performed worldwide. It is associated with good perinatal and maternal outcomes when indicated. The rising global cesarean birth rate has coincided with an increase in post‐cesarean sepsis – specifically site infections, which have an incidence of 7% worldwide. Post‐cesarean sepsis remains

MicroRNA-548 regulates high mobility group box 1 expression in patients with preterm birth and chorioamnionitis

Scientific Reports, 2019
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a prototypic alarmin and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory process in spontaneous preterm birth. This study was conducted to compare the levels of HMGB1 in amniotic fluid and amnion membranes

Efficacy of Fetal Ear Length as a Prenatal Marker of Chromosomal Anomalies: A Prospective, Multicenter Cohort Study in a Southern European Population

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Fetal ear length (FEL) correlates with gestational age and may help detect chromosomal anomalies. This study developed a nomogram for a Southern European population, showing high measurement reliability. While FEL ≤ 5th percentile increased anomaly risk, its moderate sensitivity and specificity limit clinical utility.

Bowel habits in preterm infants: Observations from the first 2 weeks of life

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Uniform descriptions of normal preterm infant bowel habits are lacking, causing ambiguity in identifying abnormal bowel habits in this population. This study examines preterm infants' bowel habits and their association with maternal and infant factors in the first 2 weeks of life. Methods An observational study included infants with
