Magnesium sulfate marks 100 years in the medical management of eclampsia. Lazard, starting in May 1924 at the Los Angeles General Hospital, collected clinical evidence of its benefits on the mortality associated with pregnancy convulsions. Doses, regimens, and dilutions were analyzed, revealing therapeutic safety for both mother and fetus. By the end of the 20th century, randomized clinical trials demonstrated the clinical utility of magnesium for the following indications: treatment of eclampsia, prevention of eclampsia, and neurological protection of the brain in preterm infants less than 32 weeks of gestation, among others. This journey has been controversial among many authorities; however, the National University of Colombia and its Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology have defended the Zuspan regimen as the ideal approach for managing these patients since 1982. Through this review, we aim to present all the evidence that has established magnesium as an essential drug for reducing maternal mortality worldwide, especially in developing countries.

Objectives: To evaluate the short-term safety and efficacy of vaginal hysterectomy with cervical preservation in patients with genital prolapse stages II to IV. Materials and methods: This is a descriptive case series study. It included women with genital prolapse stages II to IV, indicated for vaginal hysterectomy, with negative cervicovaginal cytology for malignancy, who underwent subtotal vaginal hysterectomy with suspension of the cervical stump to the sacrospinous ligament between June 1 and December 31, 2023, at a high-complexity general clinic. Sociodemographic variables and complications six months postoperatively were analyzed. The surgical technique is presented, and descriptive analysis, along with a detailed surgical technique exposition of cervical stump suspension to the sacrospinous ligament, was conducted. Results: During the described period, 10 patients consulted, of whom eight met the inclusion criteria. The mean duration of the surgical procedure was 133 minutes. Average blood loss was 200 cc. One patient required analgesic use of pregabalin for peripheral neuropathic pain, achieving adequate postoperative pain control. No other intraoperative or postoperative complications were reported. No prolapse recurrence was observed six months postevaluation. Conclusions: Subtotal vaginal hysterectomy with cervical stump suspension to the sacrospinous ligament is a surgical repair technique that could be considered for the management of uterine prolapse. Randomized studies comparing this technique with other management alternatives are needed to evaluate its long-term efficacy and safety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetivos: hacer una aproximación a la seguridad y eficacia a corto plazo de la histerectomía vaginal con preservación de cuello uterino en pacientes con prolapso genital estadios II a IV. Materiales y métodos: estudio descriptivo tipo serie de casos. Se incluyeron mujeres con prolapso genital estadios II a IV, con indicación de histerectomía vía vaginal, con citología cervicovaginal negativa para malignidad, que fueron sometidas a histerectomía subtotal vía vaginal, con suspensión del muñón cervical al ligamento sacro-espinoso, del 1 de junio al 31 de diciembre de 2023 en una clínica general de alta complejidad. Se analizaron variables sociodemográficas y complicaciones a los seis meses del posoperatorio. Se presenta la técnica quirúrgica y se realiza análisis descriptivo y la exposición quirúrgica de la técnica con suspensión del muñón cervical al ligamento sacro-espinoso. Resultados: en el periodo descrito consultaron 10 pacientes, de las cuales ocho cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. La duración media del procedimiento quirúrgico fue de 133 min. El sangrado tuvo una media de 200 cc. Una paciente requirió uso de analgésico para el dolor neuropático periférico tipo pregabalina, con lo que se logró adecuado manejo del dolor posoperatorio. No se presentaron otras complicaciones intraoperatorias o posoperatorias. No hubo recurrencia de prolapso a los seis meses de evaluadas las pacientes. Conclusiones: la histerectomía subtotal vía vaginal con suspensión del muñón cervical al ligamento sacro-espinoso es una técnica de reparación quirúrgica que podría ser considerada para el manejo del prolapso uterino. Se requieren estudios aleatorizados que comparen esta técnica con otras alternativas de manejo para evaluar su eficacia a largo plazo y su seguridad.

El Sulfato de Magnesio completa 100 años en el manejo médico de la eclampsia. Lazard, a partir de mayo de 1924, en el Hospital General de los Ángeles, recogió las evidencias clínicas de sus beneficios sobre la mortalidad de la enfermedad convulsiva del embarazo. Se analizaron dosis, esquemas, diluciones, se encontró seguridad terapéutica para la madre y el feto, y finalizando el siglo XX, se realizaron experimentos clínicos aleatorizados que demostraron la utilidad clínica del magnesio para las siguientes indicaciones: tratamiento de la eclampsia, prevención de la eclampsia, protección neurológica del cerebro del prematuro menor de 32 semanas, entre otras. Todo este camino ha sido controvertido por muchas autoridades; sin embargo, la Universidad Nacional de Colombia y su Departamento de Obstetricia y Ginecología han defendido desde 1982 el esquema Zuspan como el ideal en el manejo de estas pacientes. Con esta revisión queremos mostrar todas las evidencias que han convertido al magnesio en un fármaco indispensable para disminuir la mortalidad materna en todo el mundo, especialmente en los países subdesarrollados.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of episiotomy over a 14-year period and to explore its association with maternal, delivery, and neonatal variables using administrative data. Material and methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Women who had a vaginal delivery with a live newborn at a referral hospital for obstetric care in Ecuador were included. Consecutive sampling was employed. ICD-10 records and the perinatal information system (PIS) were utilized. Sociodemographic, gestational, delivery, and neonatal variables were assessed. Descriptive analysis was performed. The overall and yearly prevalence was determined. Exploratory bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted. The study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Universidad Central del Ecuador. Results: A total of 11,862 records were analyzed. The overall prevalence of episiotomy was 36.69 %, with a maximum of 42 % and a minimum of 28 %. There is an implied trend towards a reduction in frequency from 2019 to 2022. A positive association was found between episiotomy and maternal age under 20 years, previous cesarean section, absence of a companion during delivery, term newborns, and large for gestational age newborns. A negative association was found with previous vaginal deliveries. Conclusions: The prevalence of episiotomy exceeds the recommendation of the World Health Organization (WHO). Clinical practice guidelines should consider potentially modifiable maternal and neonatal factors in their recommendations. Prospective studies should be conducted to evaluate the safety of the procedure, confirm these observations, and use robust methodologies to assess if there is a real decrease in its practice.

Durante mucho tiempo, las pacientes obstétricas han sido una población marginada en cuanto a los avances médicos farmacológicos debido a las restricciones éticas que limitan su participación en ensayos clínicos. La variabilidad en la respuesta de estas pacientes a los medicamentos, que se manifiesta de manera más acentuada durante el embarazo, ha generado una mayor percepción de riesgo en este período. Un ejemplo destacado es el caso de la betametasona, utilizada para promover la madurez fetal en casos de parto prematuro previsto; sin embargo, los efectos no son uniformes en todos los fetos tratados y se han identificado variaciones genéticas que pueden influir en el éxito de esta intervención.

Objetivos: la preeclampsia (PE) es un trastorno hipertensivo del embarazo que puede causar complicaciones graves y resultados adversos maternos y fetales. El objetivo del estudio fue estimar el impacto económico de la incorporación del cociente sFlt-1/PlGF (factor tirosinkinasa -1 soluble tipo fms / Placenta Growth Factor – Factor de Crecimiento Placentario) al sistema de salud uruguayo. Materiales y métodos: se utilizó un árbol de decisión para estimar, en una cohorte hipotética de mujeres con sospecha de PE, el impacto económico anual incluidos los costos relevantes asociados con el diagnóstico, el seguimiento y el tratamiento de la presentación inicial de la PE clínicamente sospechada hasta el parto. Se analizaron los costos anuales para un escenario estándar de atención y un escenario que incluye el cociente sFlt-1/PlGF para PE. Se realizaron diversos análisis de sensibilidad determinísticos y probabilísticos. Resultados: el modelo económico estimó que el uso del cociente sFlt-1/PlGF permitiría al sistema de salud uruguayo ahorrar 95.432.678 pesos uruguayos (2.320.269 dólares) anualmente: una reducción del 5 % en comparación con el estándar de atención, principalmente como resultado de la reducción de las hospitalizaciones de mujeres con sospecha de PE. El cálculo del impacto económico estimó un ahorro neto anual de aproximadamente 10.602 pesos uruguayos (258 dólares) por paciente. Conclusiones: la introducción del cociente sFlt-1/PlGF en el sistema de salud uruguayo probablemente genere ahorros debido a la optimización del manejo de las hospitalizaciones de mujeres con sospecha de PE, aunque la posibilidad de obtener ahorros dependerá principalmente de la tasa actual de hospitalización de estas (la eficiencia del manejo de los embarazos de alto riesgo de PE), y de los días de internación de las mujeres hospitalizadas.

Resultados: a partir dos resultados desse estudo, podemos identificar que no cenário de alto risco estudado, as tecnologias leves e duras foram as mais utilizadas, de forma que, entre as tecnologias duras, a cirurgia cesariana foi a que apresentou maior prevalência Conclusão: ficou evidente a necessidade do melhor aproveitamento das tecnologias leve-duras, a fim de proporcionar uma melhor experiência parturitiva para as mulheres.

Introduction: Hydrops fetalis (HF) is a rare condition with a high mortality. This study analysed the obstetric and perinatal outcomes of antenatally diagnosed HF according to its aetiology and the possibility of intrauterine treatment (IUT). Patients and methods: We carried out a retrospective review of the health records of 164 pregnant women with a prenatal diagnosis of HF in a tertiary care centre between 2011−2021. We analysed prenatal interventions, clinical findings, aetiologies and obstetric and live-born infant outcomes. Results: An invasive prenatal study had been performed in 79.3% cases. The most common aetiologies were genetic disorders (31%), TORCH and parvovirus B19 infections (9.7%) and structural heart diseases (9.1%). Intrauterine treatment was performed in 25.6%, and 74.4% of pregnancies were terminated. Pregnancies with a prenatal diagnosis of genetic or chromosomal disorders had higher rates of elective termination compared to other aetiologies (P < .01). Among all pregnancies, only 25.6% resulted in live births (LBs), most of them preterm. Perinatal and 1-year survival rates were higher in the group that received IUT (P < .001). Among the LBs, structural heart diseases had the worst survival rates, while the aetiology with the best outcomes was tachyarrhythmia. Survival at 1 year of life among those born alive was 70%, but 58.6% of these infants had significant morbidity at discharge. Conclusions: Despite advances in the management of FH, the poor obstetric prognosis, perinatal mortality and morbidity of survivors is still significant. These data are important for the purpose of counselling families when HF is diagnosed antenatally. Resumen: Introducción: El hidrops fetal (HF) es una condición rara con una alta mortalidad. Este estudio analiza la evolución obstétrica y perinatal de los diagnósticos prenatales de HF, relacionándola con la etiología y el tratamiento intrauterino (TIU) recibido. Pacientes y métodos: Se revisaron 164 gestantes con diagnóstico prenatal de HF entre 2011 y 2021. Se registraron intervenciones prenatales, hallazgos clínicos, etiologías y resultados de los recién nacidos vivos. Resultados: Se realizó estudio invasivo prenatal en 79,3% de pacientes. Las etiologías mayoritarias fueron alteraciones genéticas (31%), infecciones TORCH y por parvovirus B19 (9,7%) y cardiopatías estructurales (9,1%). En 25,6% se realizó TIU y entre todas las gestaciones un 74,4% fueron interrumpidas. Las alteraciones genéticas tuvieron tasas más altas de interrupción legal del embarazo respecto a otras etiologías (p

Objectives: To determine if there is an association between the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and prognosis in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) diagnosed and treated in a Spanish population. Material and methods: Retrospective cohort of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer who had neutrophil and lymphocyte values in complete blood count before the histopathological diagnosis and survival of at least three months, in an intermediate complexity hospital. Convenience sampling. Measured variables included age, menopausal stage, parity, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, treatment type, residual tumor, lymph node involvement, presence of ascites, cytology, histologic type, differentiation grade, and CA-125 values. Additionally, outcomes, overall survival, disease/progression-free survival were also measured. Bivariate inferential and Cox regression analyses were performed. Results: Out of 78 candidates, 60 women with EOC were included. Of them, 24 (40%) had a low NLR (≤2,9) while 36 (60%) had a high NLR (>2,9). An association was found between high NLR levels and suboptimal cytoreductive surgery. High NLR ratios were associated with lower overall survival (Hazard ratio (HR): 4.1; 95% CI: 1.4-11.8) and lower 5-year disease-free survival (HR: 2.6; 95% CI: 1.2-5.7). Conclusions: A plasma neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio of more than 2.9 was associated with poor prognosis in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer in our setting. There is a need to establish the optimal cut-off point and conduct prospective studies with larger patient numbers in order to support this information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To identify the obstetric practices used in childbirth care and the association between obstetric and sociodemographic conditions of women and the route of delivery. This was a concurrent mixed-method study with 399 postpartum women, which used structured and semi-structured interviews, data from medical records, and the pregnant woman’s health record between August 2017 and March 2018 in a public maternity hospital in the state of Paraná. Content analysis and a chi-square test were used to analyze the data. Frequent obstetric interventions in childbirth care were identified, mainly the use of oxytocin, amniotomy, repeated vaginal exams, and episiotomy. Vaginal birth was associated with maternal age, usual risk, ruptured membranes, absent uterine dynamics, and uterine dilation greater than five on admission. In conclusion, there is frequent use of harmful, ineffective, or inappropriately used practices and incipient use of practices that should be encouraged. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción: La telemedicina se ha posicionado como estrategia para mejorar la calidad y cobertura de los servicios, no obstante, su implementación representa un desafío para el personal de salud. Objetivo: Determinar la percepción del uso del programa de telemedicina durante la pandemia por la COVID-19 en profesionales de salud de obstetricia. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal desarrollado en 40 profesionales de obstetricia que trabajaban en un programa de telemedicina de centros sanitarios del Ministerio de Salud y que fueron seleccionados de manera no aleatoria. Se utilizó un cuestionario validado en contenido y confiable. Se estimaron frecuencias y porcentajes. Resultados: El 45 % estuvo de acuerdo con que las capacitaciones fueron oportunas y eficientes, así como la determinación de roles y perfiles para un compromiso con el programa (50 %). No obstante, el 47,5 % señalaron la falta de articulación de las actividades en las distintas áreas. Al 85 % le pareció amigable la plataforma y al 70 % que tenía un sistema de registro de información eficiente. También que el programa brinda un acceso oportuno a los usuarios (60 %), optimiza el tiempo de consulta y cantidad de usuarios (52,5 %), y horarios más flexibles (55 %). Conclusiones: El programa de telemedicina es bien valorado por los profesionales de obstetricia, la reconocen como unaherramienta útil y tecnológicamente adecuada para mejorar el acceso y la calidad de la atención en salud. Sin embargo, es necesario perfeccionar la organización y la articulación de esta tecnología en las actividades profesionales.

RESUMO Introdução: Os médicos residentes constituem um grupo de risco para distúrbios emocionais e comportamentais, e isso pode levar à síndrome de burnout e interferir negativamente no atendimento prestado. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivos identificar os estressores vivenciados por residentes de ginecologia e obstetrícia (GO) de uma maternidade-escola do Sul do Brasil e estimar a prevalência da síndrome de burnout entre eles. Método: Realizou-se a coleta de dados de agosto a dezembro de 2020 com 21 residentes. A coleta compreendeu duas etapas: na primeira, fez-se uma entrevista semiestruturada, por meio de um roteiro-guia, visando identificar os estressores vivenciados pelos residentes em GO. Na sequência, os participantes receberam um questionário autoaplicável que teve por objetivo medir o nível de burnout pautado no Maslach Burnout Inventory. Para análise dos dados qualitativos, adotou-se a metodologia discurso do sujeito coletivo. Para análise dos dados quantitativos, foi utilizada a descrição analítica dos dados. Resultado: Entre os estressores vivenciados pelos residentes, destacam-se: falta de acolhimento pela equipe multiprofissional ao ingressarem na residência; excessiva carga horária de trabalho; poucas horas de sono; o desafio de se tornarem responsáveis pelo próprio aprendizado; as várias abordagens terapêuticas por preceptores diferentes para um mesmo problema; sensação de insuficiência de conteúdo teórico durante a residência; culpa por não estudarem o quanto acreditam que deveriam; diminuição do tempo destinado ao lazer e à atividade física; alto nível de estresse; abalo emocional que a grande responsabilidade assumida acarreta; e falta de apoio psicológico. Dos 21 médicos residentes, a síndrome de burnout esteve presente em 57,1% dos participantes. Exaustão emocional foi a mais frequente dimensão (52,7%), seguida por despersonalização (33,3%) e baixa realização profissional (9,5%). Conclusão: Os estressores relatados apontam para necessidade de revisão da residência a fim de que consequências nefastas à saúde mental de residentes, como a síndrome de burnout e suas consequências, sejam prevenidas, diminuídas ou sanadas, de modo a evitar danos tanto para os residentes como para os pacientes por eles atendidos e para instituição de saúde. São propostas medidas profiláticas na busca de melhorias na qualidade de vida, na qualidade do atendimento e, talvez no aspecto mais importante: a mudança de foco, da residência centrada no serviço para a residência centrada no aprendiz.

Resumo Este estudo, de caráter misto e sequencial exploratório, objetivou identificar padrões relacionados a trajetória de mulheres gestantes e puérperas que evoluíram para situações de risco, desde sua chegada em um primeiro serviço de assistência até sua admissão em uma maternidade terciária. A fase quantitativa analisou 1.703 prontuários e registros de internação de mulheres assistidas em três maternidades terciárias da Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza, no Ceará, entre 2010 e 2019. Na fase qualitativa, realizada entre janeiro e setembro de 2020, participaram 14 mulheres sobreviventes ao Near Miss Materno (NMM), por meio da Entrevista Narrativa Autobiográfica de Schütze. Os achados desvelam como atrasos relacionados aos profissionais e ao sistema de saúde contribuíram para a peregrinação de gestantes e puérperas e, consequentemente, para os quadros de NMM. A peregrinação destas mulheres associa-se a problemas nas estruturas da rede de atenção e dos serviços de saúde. Assim, fazem-se necessários o uso de ferramentas de acompanhamento da qualidade do serviço prestado pelos profissionais de saúde, os processos assistenciais bem estabelecidos, as estruturas físicas e as Redes de Atenção à Saúde (RAS), que suportem o seguimento desses processos.

Este estudo objetivou analisar os desfechos maternos associados às intervenções realizadas durante o trabalho de parto de nulíparas de baixo risco.

Resumo Introdução: Anticoncepção corresponde ao uso de métodos e técnicas com a finalidade de impedir que o relacionamento sexual resulte em gravidez. O médico residente em ginecologia e obstetrícia deve estar intimamente familiarizado com as múltiplas opções contraceptivas existentes, o modo de uso, os efeitos colaterais e suas contraindicações. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivos identificar o nível de conhecimento, atitude e prática dos médicos residentes de ginecologia e obstetrícia do estado de Pernambuco sobre anticoncepção, determinar sua autopercepção em indicar e contraindicar os métodos contraceptivos, avaliar as melhores indicações clínicas, como prescrevê-los e orientar seu uso. Método: Foi realizado um estudo de inquérito, do tipo corte transversal, com componente analítico. Durante o período de maio a julho de 2022, aplicou-se um questionário à população-alvo, composta pelos médicos residentes de ginecologia e obstetrícia do estado de Pernambuco, e obteve-se um tamanho amostral de 157 respostas, que foram analisadas no programa estatístico Stata, versão 12.0. Resultado: Os métodos contraceptivos mais utilizados por eles foram o ACO, o DIU Mirena, a camisinha peniana e o DIU de cobre. Mais de 90% da amostra afirmou conhecer os critérios de elegibilidade e o índice de Pearl, e pouco mais da metade respondeu corretamente aos casos clínicos sobre contracepção; 52,9% relataram que não faziam uso da dupla proteção, e 40,1% da amostra mencionou que nunca usava camisinha. A maioria dos entrevistados atestou possuir uma boa prática com LARC e com esterilização cirúrgica; uma boa parcela dos residentes entrevistados considerou-se apta a orientar todos os métodos anticoncepcionais. Conclusão: O conhecimento das indicações e contraindicações pode ser considerado satisfatório, apesar de chamar a atenção a presença de uma disparidade entre a autopercepção do saber e os acertos das questões a respeito de casos clínicos específicos. Em relação à atitude, as respostas foram controversas. No âmbito da prática, obtiveram-se os melhores resultados de autopercepção de habilidade, com destaque para a prática com os LARC e a esterilização cirúrgica. As autoavaliações demonstraram que mais da metade da amostra considerou seus conhecimentos, suas atitudes e suas práticas muito satisfatórios e/ou adequados.

Objetivo: verificar a ocorrência de violência obstétrica em uma maternidade pública de uma capital norte-brasileira, na percepção de puérperas. Método: estudo descritivo-exploratório e quantitativo, realizado com 123 puérperas internadas em alojamento conjunto. Os dados foram coletados em junho e julho de 2020, por meio de um questionário estruturado, analisados no Statistical Package for the Social Sciences®, versão 21. Resultados: a maioria desconhecia (59,3%) mas vivenciou (74,8%) a violência obstétrica. As práticas prevalentes foram peregrinação (34,1%), não ter acompanhante (22,8%), bebê retirado do campo de visão (20,3%), proibição de ingestão de alimentos (18,7%), toques vaginais repetitivos (17,9%), manobra de Kristeller (14,6%) e litotomia (12,2%), ocorridos no setor pré-parto, parto e pós parto (83,1%) e a categoria médica (92,8%) envolvida. Conclusão: houve alta ocorrência, inferindo mudanças na conduta profissional e reformulação de políticas para um cuidado integral à mulher no período gravídico-puerperal.

Few studies in the literature have related organisational well-being and temperament according to Cloninger's bio-psycho-social model. This paper investigates the relationship between dimensions of temperament (NS; HA; RD) and character (CO; SD; ST; P) and dimensions of organisational well-being in Obstetrics and Gynaecology personnel. Thirty-eight subjects, predominantly women (89.5%) aged between 18 and 63 years, participated in the study (M=50.20 SD=9.81). The Temperament and Character Inventory of R. Cloninger et al. (1994) extended version and the C.I.V.I.T. questionnaire. Positive correlations emerged between Self- Directedness and positive perceptions of the context and work and negative correlations between Self-Directedness and negative perceptions of job security and discrimination. Work well-being may be related to certain character traits rather than temperament and this correlation suggests a connection between personality and work adaptation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The pelvis, formed by the ilium, ischium and pubis, forms the coxal, which is the largest of the flat bones of the skeleton, with an important role in the physiology of birth. Vastly studied in domestic animals, there is still much to be investigated regarding the anatomical classification in wild animals, mainly aiming to improve the understanding of the reproductive management of the species. Tamandua tetradactyla is one of these species in which morphological studies are still scarce, especially when it comes to reproductive aspects. In this context, we carried out the pelvimetry of T. tetradactyla using radiographic images to anatomically and obstetrically classify the pelvis of this species, classifying it as dolicopelvic, with evidence of homoscedasticity of the samples. Verification of the existence of a relationship between the variables studied by the statistical method of Pearson coefficients showed positive correlations of high intensity for the diameters studied (P < 0.01). Thus, we believed that our findings may support future reproductive studies in this species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ultrasonography is one of the main methods of gestational diagnosis, in which it performs: biometry, monitoring of beats and organogenesis, detection of abnormalities and evaluation of maternal-fetal blood circulation. In this regard, intrauterine sonographic diagnosis of fetal abnormalities has been gaining space with the development of more advanced equipment, and has the potential to become a screening tool for this purpose. Based on the scarcity observed in this aspect, this study aims to report the intrauterine ultrasound diagnosis of a fetal abnormality in a pregnant feline. The patient was a 3-year-old Persian female with a history of natural mounting for 40 days. At ultrasonography, four live fetuses were visualized at approximately 38 days of age. A second ultrasonographic evaluation was performed after 12 days, and one fetus with cardiomegaly, heart rate oscillation and fetal distress was observed, while the other fetuses were within normal limits. The third scan was performed after four days, showing absence of heartbeat and presence of fluid in the pleural space in the fetus in question, confirming the death. Natural delivery occurred after one week, with the birth of three live pups and one stillborn. At necroscopic examination of the stillborn, generalized cardiomegaly was confirmed. We conclude that ultrasonography is a gold standard method for diagnosing fetal abnormalities, allowing birth planning and early intervention according to the situation. Thus, this study enriches the literature with more information related to fetal malformations observed before delivery, thus contributing to obstetric management in small animals.

Considerando as evidências que indicam o uso restritivo, e não rotineiro, de episiotomia, diferentes técnicas e intervenções estão sendo utilizadas para evitar o trauma perineal, principalmente, por enfermeiras obstétricas e obstetrizes. Com isso, objetivou-se compreender a experiência dos acompanhantes ao realizarem a massagem perineal em suas companheiras durante a gestação. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, exploratório-descritiva. A coleta de dados foi realizada entre abril de 2016 e abril de 2017, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e notas descritivas, na residência ou local de trabalho dos participantes. Participaram da pesquisa 10 acompanhantes. Os dados foram interpretados por meio da análise de conteúdo de Bardin, com auxílio do software Visual Qualitative Data Analysis (ATLAS.ti 8.0). Após análise dos resultados obtidos, emergiram cinco categorias: desafios apontados pelos acompanhantes para a realização da massagem perineal; contribuições da massagem perineal para a proteção do períneo; a massagem perineal favorece o envolvimento do acompanhante durante a gestação; estratégias para a realização da massagem perineal; e, recomendações dos acompanhantes a partir de suas experiências. A realização da massagem perineal pelo acompanhante durante a gestação contribui para o pré-natal masculino e favorece o vínculo do casal, sendo uma proposta de cuidado que visa à contínua presença do homem em atividades do ciclo gravídico-puerperal.

Objetivos: establecer la concordancia para evaluar el requerimiento de profilaxis farmacológica en el puerperio entre la escala del Royal College Obstetricians and Gynaecologists y la escala de la guía colombiana en una institución de cuarto nivel en Bogotá, Colombia. Materiales y métodos: estudio de concordancia diagnóstica ensamblado sobre un estudio transversal. Se incluyeron mujeres embarazadas con 24 o más semanas de gestación que ingresaron para inducción de trabajo de parto, en trabajo de parto activo, para cesárea electiva, o que requirieron cesárea de urgencia, hospitalizadas entre el 1 de marzo y 30 de abril de 2021 en una institución privada de alta complejidad en Bogotá, Colombia. Se realizó un muestreo por conveniencia. Se midieron variables demográficas, factores de riesgo, clasificación del riesgo y profilaxis farmacológica según las dos escalas. Se calculó la prevalencia de los factores de riesgo por cada escala y la concordancia en la indicación de la profilaxis entre las dos escalas por medio del valor de kappa ponderado. Resultados: se incluyeron 320 pacientes. La escala del Royal College Obstetricians and Gynaecologists clasificó al 54,7 % de las pacientes en riesgo bajo, riesgo intermedio al 42,5 % y riesgo alto al 2,8 %. La escala colombiana clasificó al 80 % de las pacientes en riesgo bajo, 17,2 % riesgo intermedio, 2,2 % riesgo alto y 0,6 % con riesgo muy alto. El valor kappa ponderado para la concordancia para indicación fue de 0,47 (IC 95 %: 0,38-0,56). Conclusiones: la concordancia de las dos escalas para definir requerimiento de profilaxis farmacológica en el posparto tiene un acuerdo moderado. Se considera es necesario validar los criterios de clasificación del riesgo de la escala colombiana en una segunda cohorte, además evaluar la capacidad predictiva de la herramienta de la guía colombiana en diferentes puntos de corte en términos de las consecuencias de falsos positivos y negativos.

Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar o desfecho obstétrico de gestantes nulíparas pertencentes aos grupos 1 e 2 da Classificação de Robson (CR), atendidas em uma maternidade de grande porte de Porto Alegre/RS. Método: Foi um estudo quantitativo, com abordagem transversal e descritiva com população constituída de 478 parturientes que tiveram seu parto vaginal ou cesárea assistidos no hospital no período de 01/07/2018 a 01/01/2019. Resultados: Nos resultados, observou-se que 82,9% das gestantes incluídas no Grupo 1 tiveram parto vaginal, já as incluídas no grupo 2, a maioria (57,3%) tiveram cesariana como desfecho obstétrico. Conclusões: O estudo apontou uma porcentagem elevada de cesarianas em nulíparas, evidenciando a necessidade de melhoria nas estratégias para reduzir cada vez mais este índice, principalmente para as mulheres que estão parindo pela primeira vez.

O objetivo deste relato é descrever achados de laparotomia de uma gestação ectópica concomitante a piometra em felina. Foi atendido no dia 26 de setembro de 2020, em uma clínica veterinária particular A de Santarém-PA, uma felina, SRD de 3 anos, 3,95 kg diagnosticada com fecaloma, no exame de hemograma revelou apenas linfopenia. No entanto, a paciente não apresentou evolução clínica, sendo assim levada para clínica veterinária particular B no dia 02 de outubro de 2020, no exame físico de palpação percebeu-se a presença de uma massa firme e móvel na região abdominal esquerda, com ausência de distensão abdominal, normotermia, mucosas normocoradas, TPC 2 segundos, turgor cutâneo normal, sendo assim, foi solicitado laparotomia exploratória. Durante a cirurgia, foi observado feto na região abdominal esquerda aderido ao omento, além de material purulento observado no interior do útero incisado após cirurgia, caracterizando piometra. A ovariohisterectomia associada a laparotomia exploratória são ainda a melhor opção para o tratamento de piometra e ectopia, respectivamente.

A hipoplasia da veia cava inferior é uma patologia rara que integra o conjunto de anomalias do desenvolvimento da veia cava inferior. A sua incidência situa-se entre 0,3%-0,5% na população saudável e 5% nos adultos jovens sem fatores de risco para trombose venosa profunda, sendo considerada um importante fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de trombose dos membros inferiores. O principal objetivo deste trabalho é reportar a conduta obstétrica de um caso clínico de uma grávida diagnosticada com hipoplasia da veia cava inferior, prévia à gravidez. Trata-se de um caso clínico, de uma grávida, primigesta, com 37 anos, com hipoplasia da veia cava inferior e heterozigotia para o gene MTHFR677 diagnosticadas, na sequência de uma trombose venosa bilateral dos membros inferiores e do segmento infrarrenal da veia cava inferior. A gravidez foi seguida em consulta hospitalar na nossa instituição, tendo a grávida sido medicada com enoxaparina em dose profilática e ácido acetilsalicílico, com um período pré natal que decorreu sem intercorrências. Às 37 semanas e 6 dias de gestação, deu entrada no Serviço de Urgência de Obstetrícia por rotura prematura de membranas. Intraparto foram utilizadas meias de compressão pneumática intermitente, tendo o parto ocorrido às 38 semanas de gestação por via vaginal (parto eutócico), do qual nasceu um recém-nascido do sexo feminino, com 2620g e índice de Apgar 9/10/10. O presente caso clínico demonstra que em situações de hipoplasia da veia cava inferior com um seguimento obstétrico adequado é possível a realização de um parto vaginal, possibilitando um desfecho obstétrico favorável.

Objective: Delimit parturient service profile and the OBGYN practices developed in the West Region Hospital between January and December of 2019. Methods: Consists of a quantitative transversal, retrospective, observational and descriptive research. Results: High rates of cesarean sections in the service (40%). Low rate of use of the partograph in care. According to the Robson Classification, most parturients (88%) fit between groups one to five, and 12% between groups six to ten. Conclusion: Cesarean rates higher than recommended by the World Health Organization due to a number of factors. The low rate of use of the partograph may indicate insecurity or lack of knowledge by professionals, lack of protocols, objections to its use, or outdated and lack of credibility of the instrument. National and international studies have shown a high rate of women between groups one to five being referred for cesarean section due to the lack of encouragement to good practices and the use of non-pharmacological methods and the failure to use the recommended instruments (partograph).

Background: Sirenomelia is a condition characterized by the abnormal development of the caudal body of a fetus, with partial or complete lower extremity fusion, also known as Mermaid Syndrome. The anomaly is a serious multisystemic malformation, generally involving the gastrointestinal, genitourinary, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems. The exact cause of sirenomelia is unknown, and it is believed that environmental and genetic factors may play a role in the development of this anomaly. The prognosis for sirenomelia is poor, with a median survival of less than a week, and more than half of cases end in stillbirth. Aim: To report a case of sirenomelia treated in our Hospital. Method: This is a case report of a pregnant woman treated at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Service of the Hospital Universitário São Francisco na Providência de Deus - HUSF, located in the city of Bragança Paulista - SP, Brazil. Case Report: 17-year-old patient referred to the Fetal Medicine Service after a morphological ultrasound during pregnancy which demonstrated multiple malformations, including renal agenesis and severe oligohydramnios. The child was born prematurely and with sirenomelia, dying four hours after birth. Analysis of the placenta and umbilical cord revealed abnormalities in the fetus implantation, in addition to a single umbilical artery. Conclusion: Sirenomelia is a rare and fatal congenital anomaly, characterized by fusion of the lower extremities, often associated with additional malformations. Its etiology is poorly understood and possible risk factors include maternal diabetes, exposure to teratogenic drugs, genetic susceptibility, infections and maternal age. Based on the case described, it is suggested that ultrasound is crucial for early diagnosis and decision-making in cases of sirenomelia. Furthermore, raising awareness about preventing teenage pregnancy and controlling blood glucose levels in diabetic pregnant woman are essential to reduce the incidence of the syndrome.

Background: Congenital malformations are defects in the development of organs and body regions present from birth. Genetic and environmental factors can cause malformations, with some phenotypic associations sharing common etiological mechanisms. Understanding the epidemiological profile of malformations is essential for prevention campaigns and systematic care. Aim: To identify the epidemiological profile of congenital malformations diagnosed in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of a University Hospital located in the city of Bragança Paulista - SP, Brazil. Method: This is a retrospective, descriptive, and quantitative study that includes internal notifications of congenital malformations identified in the fetuses of pregnant women treated at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Service of the Hospital Universitário São Francisco na Providência de Deus - HUSF. Results: The sample of this study consisted of 95 malformation notifications, 21 in 2017 (22.11%), 10 in 2018 (10.53%), 10 in 2019 (10.53%), 13 in 2020 (13.69%), 12 in 2021 (12.63%), 14 in 2022 (14.73%) and 15 in 2023 (15.78%). The frequency of malformations in 2017 was significantly higher than that observed in the rest of the years evaluated (p = 0.04). The average maternal age during the studied period was 29.3 ± 7.4 years. The most commonly identified malformations were those occurring in structures of the central nervous system, as well as those identified in the cardiovascular system. Conclusion: In our study, the most frequent malformations were associated with structures of the central nervous system, as well as cardiovascular structures. Despite the fact that this specific survey did not evaluate risk factors in pregnant women, it is noteworthy that contact with agricultural products may beassociated with malformations, suggesting the need to create campaigns to inform pregnant women about the dangers of exposure to these compounds.

Background: Acute fatty liver of pregnancy is rare and potentially lethal, occurring mainly in the third trimester of pregnancy, and can also occur in the immediate postpartum period, with a prevalence of 1 in every 16,000 pregnancies. It mainly occurs in primigravida women and is associated with preeclampsia, male newborn, multiple pregnancies, BMI < 20, and maternal obesity. The signs and symptoms are nonspecific and can progress to severe cases, even leading to maternal and fetal death. Diagnosis is based on Swansea criteria. The only effective treatment is delivery, and supportive treatment is essential. Aim: To report a case of acute fatty liver of pregnancy treated in our service. Case report: Patient a 28-year-old primigravida with untreated gestational diabetes mellitus, at term gestational age, presenting with lower abdominal pain, decreased fetal movement, and fetal bradycardia. A cesarean section was performed, and premature placental abruption was observed. The patient developed hypoglycemia, poor general condition, coagulopathy, and jaundice. The patient developed hepatic encephalopathy, which was reversed. After 19 days of hospitalization, she showed clinical improvement, was discharged, and followed up with a multidisciplinary team. Conclusion: Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) is pregnancy-exclusive pathology, associated with a potentially fatal clinical course that can lead to multiple organ failure. Regardless of the timing of occurrence, AFLP presents with a similar and indistinguishable presentation. The only consideration that must be taken into account is the appropriate treatment for each period, always considering that delivery is the only treatment that establishes a cure.
