Ten-year incidence, predictors and impact of dizziness and vertigo in community-dwelling adults

Bamini Gopinath, Diana Tang, George Burlutsky, Paul Mitchell

Summary: This study used a cohort of community-dwelling adults to establish the 10-year incidence and predictors of dizziness/vertigo, and its impacts on health-related quality of life. The results showed that age and presence of migraine were significant predictors of incident dizziness/vertigo, and dizziness/vertigo was associated with a significant decrease in quality of life.

10. Role of high dimensional technology in preeclampsia (omics in preeclampsia)

Lina Youssef, Lea Testa, Francesca Crovetto, Fatima Crispi

Summary: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific disease with an unknown precise cause. Multi-omics approaches have been used to study the molecular mechanisms of preeclampsia, and various genetic variants, altered gene expressions, potential biomarkers, and metabolic changes have been identified. Microbiomics studies have also found dysbiosis in the microbiota of pregnant women with preeclampsia. Further research is needed to integrate and translate these findings into clinical practice.

Utility of iron biomarkers in differentiating menopausal status: Findings from CoLaus and PREVEND

Lum Kastrati, Dion Groothof, Hugo G. Quezada-Pinedo, Hamidreza Raeisi-Dehkordi, Lia Bally, Martin H. De Borst, Stephan J. L. Bakker, Pedro-Marques Vidal, Michele F. Eisenga, Taulant Muka

Summary: The study aimed to examine the association between iron biomarkers and menopausal status and assess whether these biomarkers can help differentiate menopausal status beyond age. The results showed that iron biomarkers were significantly associated with menopausal status in both cohorts and modestly improved a model with age alone for differentiating menopause status.

Outcome of subsequent pregnancies in women with prior uterine rupture

Ohad Houri, Asaf Romano, Yossi Geron, Gil Zeevi, Eran Hadar, Shiri Barbash-Hazan, Shir Danieli-Gruber

Summary: Women with prior uterine rupture have good maternal and neonatal outcomes in subsequent pregnancies when managed at a tertiary medical center, with planned elective term cesarean delivery, or even earlier, at the onset of spontaneous preterm labor.

Ambulation for latency during expectant management of preterm prelabor rupture of membranes: a randomized controlled trial (AMBLE)

Beth L. Pineles, Mallory Vial, Tania Castro, Tala Ghorayeb, Oluwadare Ajishegiri, Sandra Sadek, Claudia Pedroza, Sean C. Blackwell, Suneet P. Chauhan, Baha M. Sibai

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate whether encouragement to ambulate at least 2000 steps daily affects latency among individuals with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes compared with usual care. The results showed that individuals encouraged to ambulate had a longer latency to delivery and improved neonatal and mental health outcomes, with similar maternal clinical outcomes compared to usual care.

Performance of fetal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in predicting birthweight according to the test-to-delivery interval: A cohort study

Dominique A. Badr, Mieke M. Cannie, Caroline Kadji, Xin Kang, Andrew Carlin, Jacques C. Jani

Summary: The objective of this study was to assess the influence of the test-to-delivery interval on the performance of ultrasound and MRI in predicting birthweight. The results showed that MRI performed best in predicting birthweight greater than gestational age if delivery occurred within two weeks of the examination, with a slight decrease thereafter, while ultrasound performance decreased drastically over time.

Molecular landscape of ERBB2/HER2 gene amplification among patients with gynecologic malignancies; clinical implications and future directions

Dimitrios Nasioudis, Stefan Gysler, Nawar Latif, Lory Cory, Robert L. Giuntoli II, Sarah H. Kim, Fiona Simpkins, Lainie Martin, Emily M. Ko

Summary: The prevalence of ERBB2 gene amplification was investigated among patients with gynecologic malignancies. The study found that ERBB2 amplification is frequently encountered in uterine serous carcinoma and mucinous ovarian carcinoma, but less common in endometrioid endometrial carcinoma.

Summary: Premature ovarian insufficiency and ovarian aging are complex conditions that affect women's reproductive health and overall well-being. This review explores the influence of environmental factors, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals and lifestyle choices, on the development and progression of these conditions. Understanding the impact of environmental factors is important for public and clinical health contexts.

Summary: This systematic review examined the comorbidity of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and their impact on metabolism, hormone levels, and reproduction. The findings showed a high prevalence of comorbidity between the two conditions, which may have significant clinical implications for patient management.

An artificial intelligence-based approach for selecting the optimal day for triggering in antagonist protocol cycles

Shachar Reuvenny, Michal Youngster, Almog Luz, Rohi Hourvitz, Ettie Maman, Micha Baum, Ariel Hourvitz

Summary: Using a machine-learning model to determine the optimal trigger days can improve the outcomes of antagonist protocol cycles in freeze-all or fresh transfer cycles, for all age groups. Implementing these models can more accurately predict the number of retrieved oocytes, optimizing physicians' decisions, balancing workloads, and creating more standardized yet patient-specific protocols.

Summary: Breast actinomycosis is a rare chronic infection characterized by external fistulas on the skin of the breasts. This article presents a clinical case of a 71-year-old female patient who experienced a hard tumor, intense pain, limited mobility of the left upper limb, and significant weight loss. The thoracic tomography report initially suspected a malignant breast neoplasm, but the pathology study revealed mammary actinomycosis.

Dietary interventions in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome: A bibliographic review

Jesus Javier Aguaviva Bascunana, Nerea Olivares Sanchez

Summary: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a female endocrinopathy characterized by hyperandrogenism and ovulatory dysfunction. It is associated with infertility and other symptoms such as insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and metabolic syndrome. Targeted dietary interventions, including the DASH diet and modifications in carbohydrates, have shown positive effects on body markers, insulin resistance, and hormonal markers in PCOS patients.
