Mashup Score: 2The active phase of labor - 11 month(s) ago
The active phase of labor begins at various degrees of dilatation when the rate of dilatation transitions from the relatively flat slope of the latent phase to a more rapid slope. No diagnostic manifestations demarcate its onset, other than accelerating dilatation. It ends with apparent slowing of dilatation, a deceleration phase, which is usually short in duration and frequently undetected. Several aberrant labor patterns can be detected during the active phase, including protracted dilatation, arrest of dilatation, prolonged deceleration phase and failure of descent.

Mashup Score: 0Obstetric violence is a misnomer - 1 year(s) ago
The term “obstetric violence” has been used in the legislative language of several countries to protect mothers from abuse during pregnancy. Subsequently, it has been expanded to include a spectrum of obstetric procedures, such as induction of labor, episiotomy, and cesarean delivery, and has surfaced in the peer-reviewed literature. The term “obstetric violence” can be seen as quite strong and emotionally charged, which may lead to misunderstandings or misconceptions. It might be interpreted as implying a deliberate act of violence by healthcare providers when mistreatment can sometimes result from systemic issues, lack of training, or misunderstandings rather than intentional violence.

Mashup Score: 10Randomized controlled trials: not always the “gold standard” for evidence in obstetrics and gynecology - 1 year(s) ago
Randomized controlled trials are considered the “gold standard” for therapeutic interventions, and it is not uncommon for sweeping changes in medical practice to follow positive results from such trials. However, randomized controlled trials are not without their limitations. Physicians frequently view randomized controlled trials as infallible, whereas they tend to dismiss evidence derived from sources other than randomized controlled trials as less credible or reliable. In several situations in obstetrics and gynecology, there are no randomized controlled trials to help guide the clinician.

Pregnant Muslim women may be religiously exempt from fasting during the Islamic month of Ramadan, especially if there is concern for undue hardship or harm to maternal or fetal health. However, several studies demonstrate that most women still choose to fast during pregnancy and avoid discussing fasting with their providers. A targeted literature review of published studies on fasting during Ramadan and pregnancy or maternal and fetal outcomes was performed. We generally found little to no clinically significant effect of fasting on neonatal birthweight or preterm delivery.

Venous thromboembolism accounts for approximately 9% of pregnancy-related deaths in the United States. National guidelines recommend postpartum risk stratification and pharmacologic prophylaxis in at-risk individuals. Knowledge on modern rates of postpartum pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis and its associated risks is limited.

Mashup Score: 12Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Consult Series #68: Sickle cell disease in pregnancy - 1 year(s) ago
Pregnant individuals with sickle cell disease have an increased risk of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. However, prepregnancy counseling and multidisciplinary care can lead to favorable maternal and neonatal outcomes. In this consult series, we summarize what is known about sickle cell disease and provide guidance for sickle cell disease management during pregnancy. The following are Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine recommendations:

Mashup Score: 34Postpartum urinary retention: an expert review - 1 year(s) ago
Postpartum urinary retention is a relatively common condition that can have a marked impact on women in the immediate days following childbirth. If left untreated, postpartum urinary retention can lead to repetitive overdistention injury that may damage the detrusor muscle and the parasympathetic nerve fibers within the bladder wall. In rare circumstances, postpartum urinary retention may even lead to bladder rupture, which is a potentially life-threatening yet entirely preventable complication.
