OBJECTIVE: Female cancer survivors planning to become pregnant are concerned about the impact of cancer treatment on their ability to maintain normal pregnancy and the negative impact on their offspring. However, studies on the pregnancy outcomes of cancer survivors in Japan are limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the pregnancy outcomes of female cancer survivors by comparing them with women without a history of malignant tumors in Japan. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 3308 subjects, based on an internet-based questionnaire (self-reported) survey conducted in Japan...

OBJECTIVE: Intra-amniotic inflammation (IAI), associated with either microbe (infection) or danger signals (sterile), plays a major role in the pathophysiology of preterm labor and delivery. Coiled-Coil-Helix-Coiled-Coil-Helix Domain Containing 2 (CHCHD2) [also known as Mitochondrial Nuclear Retrograde Regulator 1 (MNRR1)], a mitochondrial protein involved in oxidative phosphorylation and cell survival, is capable of sensing tissue hypoxia and inflammatory signaling. The ability to maintain an appropriate energy balance at the cellular level while adapting to environmental stress is essential for the survival of an organism...

INTRODUCTION: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects 30% of adults in the United States. Transient elastography (TE) (Fibroscan, Echosens, Paris, France) with controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) is a noninvasive way to evaluate liver steatosis and liver stiffness. The primary objective of this study was to assess prevalence of elevated liver stiffness and steatosis immediately postpartum. Furthermore, we sought to evaluate whether there were differences in rates of metabolic disorders of pregnancy (gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia) and pre-pregnancy conditions (type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), chronic hypertension, and obesity) in those with elevated postpartum liver steatosis/liver stiffness...

INTRODUCTION: The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines (GL) provide indications on the mode of delivery in women with heart disease. However available data suggests that the rate of Cesarean Delivery (CD) is high and widely variable among such patients. In this study, we aimed to investigate the degree of adherence to the ESC recommendations among women delivering in four tertiary maternity services in Italy and how this affects the maternal and neonatal outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective multicenter cohort study including pregnant women with heart disease who gave birth between January 2014 and July 2020...

OBJECTIVE: While a basic understanding of pelvic size and typology is still important for obstetricians, pelvic measurement data for Japanese women are very scarce. To our best knowledge, no large-scale pelvimetry studies of Japanese women have been made for the past 50 years. This study aimed to investigate the accurate size, particularly the obstetric conjugate (OC) and transverse diameter of the pelvic inlet (TD), of modern Japanese women, using three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT), and to obtain their reference values...

INTRODUCTION: A twin pregnancy involving a hydatidiform mole (HM) coexisting with a developing fetus is an extremely rare obstetric complication, which typically presents as a complete hydatidiform mole with a coexisting fetus (CHMCF) or a partial hydatidiform mole with a coexisting fetus (PHMCF). CASE PRESENTATION: A 26-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to a small volume of vaginal bleeding during the 31st week of pregnancy. The patient was previously healthy, and an intrauterine singleton pregnancy was detected by ultrasound on day 46 of gestation; however, bunch-of-grapes sign was observed in the uterine cavity at 24 weeks...

BACKGROUND: Regular and supervised exercise during pregnancy is worldwide recommended due to its proven benefits, but, during exercise, maternal blood flow is redirected from the viscera to the muscles and how fetal wellbeing may be affected by this redistribution is still not well known. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the longitudinal effect of a supervised moderate physical exercise program during pregnancy on uteroplacental and fetal Doppler parameters. METHODS: This is a planned secondary analysis of an randomized controlled trial (RCT), performed at Hospital Universitario de Torrejón, Madrid, Spain, including 124 women randomized from 12+0 to 15+6  weeks of gestation to exercise vs...

Pre-eclampsia/eclampsia during pregnancy and the puerperium are major risk factors for maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early diagnosis followed by appropriate treatment can prevent neurological disorders, considered one of the most serious sequelae of the disease. The detection of increased intracerebral pressure through the use of ocular ultrasonography could be considered an effective method for its diagnosis, since it has the advantage of being a noninvasive technique, easy to perform at the patient's bedside and with a high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of intracranial hypertension...

INTRODUCTION: Prenatal exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is a risk factor for the occurrence of congenital heart diseases (CHDs). Genetic susceptibility to PAHs metabolism may modify the exposure-risk relationship. The role of uridine diphosphoglucuronosyl transferase 1A1 ( UGT1A1 ) genetic polymorphisms for modulating the impacts of prenatal PAHs exposure on the risk of CHDs remains to be discovered. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate whether maternal UGT1A1 genetic polymorphisms are associated with fetal susceptibility to CHDs and to assess whether the risk is modified by maternal PAHs exposure...
