Dimensional versus standard 2-D laparoscopy for benign hysterectomy: A randomized clinical trial
Our aim was to evaluate possible short and long-term benefits of 3-dimensional (3-D) compared to 2-dimensional (2-D) laparoscopy for benign hysterectomy.Primary outcomes were long-term quality of life and postoperative pain. Secondary outcomes were operative time, surgical complications, time to return to work and length of hospitalization. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)

Comparison of single- and double-dose methotrexate protocols for treatment of pregnancy of unknown location
Pregnancy of unknown location (PUL) is defined as the presence of a positive pregnancy test without confirmation by transvaginal ultrasound of either intrauterine pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy (EP) [1]. The incidence of PUL is not well described, and a final diagnosis of either intrauterine pregnancy, early pregnancy loss or EP is obtained in 30 –50 % of cases, meaning that the location is never confirmed in 50–70 % of patients with PUL.

Gestational weight gain: Toward best practices in managing gestational weight gain in patients with obesity: Comparison of recommendations
Obesity is the disease of the 21st century; it affects every age group and can cause a variety of illnesses considered severe public health problems. There is now a true obesity epidemic in developed countries, prompting the World Health Organization to characterize the situation as a significant threat to health. In 2016, there were more than 1.9 billion overweight adults (over age 18) worldwide. Of that total, 650 million were obese. The global prevalence of obesity nearly tripled from 1975 to 2016 [1].

Breast cancer awareness among women of reproductive age- a questionnaire based study
Cancer is the growth of abnormal cells in any bodily organ, and breast cancer is one of them. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in both developed and developing countries. The incidence and mortality are growing at a faster rate. It can occur in several types, and it progresses through different stages involving more organs before spreading. It is extremely difficult to manage cancer if presented at advanced stages, which is a very common feature of breast cancer patients, especially in low- and middle-income countries.

Stage II endometrial cancer: The diagnostic power of hysteroscopic excisional biopsy and MRI in the pre-operative cervical stroma assessment
Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynaecological malignancy in western countries [1]. EC is mainly discovered in an early stage (stage I or II) due to early symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding [2]. Secondarily to a histological endorsement, preoperative work-up must include family, general and gynaecological history, pelvic examination, transvaginal or transrectal ultrasound (US), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography scan (CT) [3].

Discriminative diagnosis of ovarian endometriosis cysts and benign mucinous cystadenomas based on the ConvNeXt algorithm
The objective of this study was to develop a deep learning model, using the ConvNeXt algorithm, that can effectively differentiate between ovarian endometriosis cysts (OEC) and benign mucinous cystadenomas (MC) by analyzing ultrasound images. The performance of the model in the diagnostic differentiation of these two conditions was also evaluated. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)

Pregnancy with endometriosis: Assessment of national-level trends, characteristics, and maternal morbidity at delivery
Endometriosis is a gynecologic condition defined by the implantation of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus [1]. This disease affects approximately 10  % of reproductive aged women and is characterized by chronic pain and subfertility [1]. Different classifications systems exist to describe the severity of endometriosis, most recently with a focus on surgical complexity. However, it has been shown that the calculated stage of endometriosis often does not correlate with symptomology [2–4]. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)

Abnormal maternal apolipoprotein levels during pregnancy are risk factors for preterm birth in women with dichorionic twin pregnancies: A retrospective study
Due to the rapid development of assisted reproductive technology, the incidence of twin pregnancies has increased dramatically in the past few decades [1,2]. The incidence of twin pregnancies in the United States was 32.6 per 1000 pregnancies in 2018[3]. Twin-pregnant women have 10 times the risk of preterm birth and 5 times the risk of serious complications compared with singleton-pregnant women [4]. The health needs of preterm infants are a heavy burden for families and society, and reducing the preterm birth rate has become a major public health issue [5].

Aggressive angiomyxoma of female pelvis and perineum: Retrospective study of 17 cases
Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare mesenchymal myxoid neoplasm originating from soft tissues in the pelvic region, such as perineum and vaginal wall [1]. It predominantly affects women of reproductive age, while occurring less frequently in men, with a male to female ratio of 1:6 [2 –5]. In 1983, Steeper and Rosai first reported nine cases of AAM [6], primarily focusing on its pathological characteristics. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)

The genetics and clinical outcomes in 151 cases of fetal growth restriction: A Chinese single-center study
The Delphi procedure defines fetal growth restriction (FGR) based on gestational age, abdominal circumference, weight, umbilical artery end-diastolic blood flow, uterine artery pulsatility index, and cerebroplacental ratio, and classifies it into early and late-onset FGR [1]. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Society of Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC), and Chinese expert consensus on FGR (2019) define FGR as fetal growth failure to reach its genetic potential due to the influence of maternal, fetal, placental and other pathological factors.

Data integrity of 14 randomised controlled trials
A review of the literature of iron treatments for iron-deficient anaemia in pregnancy indicated integrity problems in two randomised controlled trials (RCTs) from the author Dr A.M. Darwish, Assiut University, Egypt (Dawish 2017, Darwish 2019a0 [1]. There were worrying similarities between the tables of papers that purport to present the results of distinct studies. We therefore assessed all the papers of this author, following methods as previously described [2]. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)

Relationship between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and cardiac remodeling during pregnancy: Systematic review and meta-analysis
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) affect up to 6 –8 % of all pregnancies. It is one of the three leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide [1]. Existing studies have consistently shown increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women with known history of HDP [2–4]. Though there is significant number of studies tha t support the long-term effect of CVD after HDP [5], there is insufficient evidence supporting HDP related CVD during pregnancy.

Postmenopausal hormone therapy and cognition in twins
Basic science has hypothesised that oestrogen may have a neuroprotective function with a modulating effect on neurotransmitters throughout the brain [1,2,3]. Thus, hormone therapy (HT) consisting of oestrogen alone or combined with a progestogen which can be used during menopause as a way to relieve menopausal symptoms could potentially influencing cognitive function (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)
