Cesarean delivery, one of the most common surgeries performed worldwide, carries the risk of complications. These complications affect both mothers and newborns, but in this review, only maternal complications will …
Three-dimensional (3D) culture systems provide physiologically relevant models that better replicate in vivo cell architecture and function compared to the conventional two-dimensional cultures. In reproductive biology, 3D models of endometrial …
Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles that mediate intercellular communication by transporting microRNAs, proteins, and lipids. Generated through Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT)-dependent mechanisms or ESCRT-independent pathways, exosomes are …
The immunology of fertilization, implantation and pregnancy is based on a complex balance between maternal immune tolerance and a controlled inflammatory response. Adaptation of the maternal immune system is essential …
Background: Women's health has historically served as an incubator for major medical innovations yet often faces relative neglect in sustained funding and implementation. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and …
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are reportedly associated with adverse obstetric outcomes, including premature labor and gestational diabetes. We aimed to evaluate associations of maternal PFAS exposure with obstetric and …
Uterine rupture is an infrequent yet sometimes fatal complication of a subsequent vaginal birth attempt following a previous uterine surgery. We have chosen to write about spontaneous uterine ruptures following …
Breakthrough pain requiring anesthesiologist intervention occurs in 14-55% of parturients despite labor epidural analgesia, substantially affecting the childbirth experience. Identifying predictive factors may enable more effective, individualized pain management.
