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.

Associations between Hysterectomy and Metabolic Syndrome: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Metabolic syndrome is linked to an increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality. Notable associations exist between hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and metabolic syndrome. However, there is emerging evidence that even with ovarian conservation, hysterectomy may be independently associated with long-term CVD risk. (Source: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Impact of Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus on Offspring Cardiovascular Health in Early Adolescence
Adverse pregnancy outcomes, including hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), influence maternal cardiovascular heath (CVH) long after pregnancy, but their relationship to offspring CVH following in utero exposure remains uncertain.

Validity of a Delphi consensus definition of growth restriction in the newborn for identifying neonatal morbidity
Small-for-gestational age (SGA) is defined as a birthweight below a birthweight-percentile threshold, usually the 10th percentile, with the 3rd or 5th percentile used to identify severe SGA. SGA is used as a proxy for growth restriction in the newborn, but SGA newborns can be physiologically small and healthy. This definition also excludes growth restricted newborns who have weights above the 10th percentile. To address these limits, a Delphi study developed a new consensus definition of growth restriction in the newborn based on neonatal anthropometric and clinical parameters, but it has not been evaluated.

Expectant management of preeclampsia with severe features diagnosed at less than 24 weeks
The recent ACOG practice bulletin offers no guidance on management of preeclampsia with severe features (PreE with SF) less than 24 weeks. Historically, immediate delivery was recommended due to poor perinatal outcomes and high maternal morbidity. Recently, advances in neonatal resuscitation have led to increased survival at peri-viable gestational ages. (Source: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Blood pressure cut-offs at 11-13 weeks ’ gestation and risk of preeclampsia
A parallel has been drawn between first trimester placental vascular maturation and maternal cardiovascular adaptations, including blood pressure. Although 140/90 mmHg is well-accepted as the threshold for chronic hypertension in the general obstetric population in early pregnancy, a different threshold could apply to stratify risk of adverse outcomes, such as preeclampsia. This could have implications for interventions, such as the threshold for initiation of antihypertensive therapy and the target blood pressure level.

A prospective study of dietary patterns and the incidence of endometriosis diagnosis
Although endometriosis is a common condition —affecting ∼10% of premenopausal individuals—its etiology is unknown. Diet receives large patient attention, but studies of the role of diet are limited. Examining dietary patterns is essential to provide new insight. (Source: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)
