Uncovering the role of genetic polymorphisms in cervical insufficiency
Pathways and genes implicated in CI pathogenesis. Abstract Cervical insufficiency (CI) is characterized by spontaneous dilation of the cervix in the absence of painful uterine contractions in the mid‐trimester, leading to premature delivery. It is responsible for up to 20% of second trimester pregnancy losses, mostly <24 weeks.

Abstract Objective The optimal delivery approach for fetal growth restriction (FGR) with pathological cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) remains uncertain. This study evaluated the association between isolated pathological CPR (<5th percentile) and delivery outcomes, specifically the rate of cesarean delivery (CD) due to non‐reassuring fetal heart rate ...

We have chosen to write about spontaneous uterine ruptures following myomectomy due to the scarcity of data on this subject, stemming from the limited number of reported cases.

Role of vulvovaginal infection in women with short cervix: An observational clinical trial
Abstract Objective Short cervix (SC) and vulvovaginal infections, such as bacterial vaginosis (BV) and vulvovaginal candidosis (VVC), are known risk factors for preterm birth (PTB). The objective of this study was to investigate whether the combined presence of SC and vulvovaginal infections further elevates the risk of PTB.
