Background: Group B streptococcus (GBS) is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality in developed countries. This study aims primarily to estimate the prevalence of maternal GBS positivity and secondarily to evaluate the compliance and the effectiveness of the current GBS prevention protocol. Methods: This retrospective study has...

Low maternal serum levels of pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) are known to be associated with the development of pregnancy-related complications like small for gestational age infants, intrauterine fetal demise, gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. The study aims to find possible long-term correlations with the development of...

The aim is to report a case of spontaneous uterine rupture in the first trimester of pregnancy and to review the literature on the topic. Methods: A literature search was performed using PubMed and Scopus. Relevant English articles were identified without any time or study limitations. The data were aggregated, and a summary statistic was...
