The prevalence of COVID-19 infection in pregnant women was lower than non-pregnant women in Korea, resulting in relatively small cases of fatality. It has implications that public health policy, such as an effective response to COVID-19 and a powerful preemptive strategy for pregnant women, can lower risk of COVID-19 infection and better clinical outcomes in pregnant women with COVID-19.

WHAT IS CURRENTLY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication with significant health risks. Early identification of women at high risk for GDM is crucial for timely intervention and improved outcomes. WHAT IS THE KEY RESEARCH QUESTION?: What alterations in circulating metabolites during early pregnancy are associated with subsequent GDM development? Does metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) mediate the association b

Patients were distributed unevenly across the nine groups of acute abdominal pain. In particular, the "unclassified abdominal pain" only group was not uncommon. Considering a systemic classification for acute abdominal pain may be helpful in the diagnostic approach in children.

Self-reported pain scores combined with cervical length and fetal fibronectin are useful in predicting impending PTB in symptomatic twin pregnancy.

Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis measures the contribution of genetic variation in gene expression on complex traits. Although this methodology has been used to examine gene regulation in numerous human tissues, eQTL research in solid tissues is relatively lacking. We conducted eQTL analysis on placentas collected from an East Asian population in an effort to identify gene regulatory mechanisms in this tissue. Placentas (n = 102) were collected at the time of cesarean delivery.

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a rare and lifethreatening complication of systemic lupus erythematosus. Differential diagnosis and successful management of DAH can be problematic in pre gnancy. We report a case of a 35yearold pregnant woman who was presumptively diagnosed with DAH and treated during the antepartum period, resulting in symptomatic improvement and successful delivery after immunosuppressive treatment.

Prenatal diagnosis of clubfoot traditionally relied on two-dimensional ultrasonography. To enhance diagnosis and predict postnatal outcomes, we examined the parameters that differentiate pathological clubfoot using three-dimensional ultrasonography. In our retrospective study, we examined the findings of prenatal ultrasound and the postnatal outcomes of pregnancies with suspected congenital clubfoot between 2018 and 2021. Based on the three-dimensional perspective, we measured the angles of varu

Objective: Accurate prediction of impending preterm birth in twin pregnancy is an important issue in the clinical decision for administration of antenatal corticosteroid or tocolytics and transfer to referral hospitals. Ultrasound cervical length(CL) measurement and fetal fibronectin(fFN) test is the most effective tools in predicting the risk of preterm delivery for asymptomatic twin pregnancies. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical value of fFN for prediction of preterm bir

We found that women with low SES were more vulnerable to the adverse effects of APO history, resulting in a greater increase in ASCVD risk. This study highlights the need for SES-tailored preventive policies to reduce long-term cardiovascular disease in women with a history of APO.

Abstract Background: To evaluate the self-reported pain scores as a predictor of preterm birth (PTB) in symptomatic twin pregnancy and to develop a nomogram for the prediction model. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 148 cases of symptomatic twin pregnancies before 34 weeks of gestation visited at Seoul national university hospital from 2013 to 2018. With other clinical factors, self-reported pain score was evaluated by the numerical rating scale (NRS) pain scores for pain intensity
