The Pulsatile test is reliable in determining the correct position of the Veress needle in closed laparoscopic surgery and could help in avoiding iatrogenic injury.

Immunoexpression of Fas protein in endometrial cells was downregulated in patients with endometriosis as compared to healthy women.

Excessive gestational weight gain alters risk for cesarean section and accelerated fetal growth in an obese cohort. Breastfeeding decreases maternal weight retention postpartum.

A cutoff value of 8 μIU/mL for vaginal fluid prolactin can be considered a valuable screening test for diagnosis of premature rupture of membranes with high negative predictive value.

Women with congenital heart disease (CHD) have an increased risk of preterm birth, labor induction, and infant congenital heart disease as compared to women without CHD.

Strategies for optimal menstrual suppression are underutilized among women undergoing treatment for nongynecologic malignancies. Improved education and collaboration of oncologists and gynecologists is needed.

Neither serum anti-Müllerian hormone nor follicular fluid anti-Müllerian hormone was associated with oocyte quality in women with diminished ovarian reserve.

hCG from women with hyperemesis gravidarum has a lower mass than normal. This molecule is analogous to thyroid-stimulating hormone accounting for hyperthyroidism and emesis in pregnancy.

Combining age, anti-Müllerian hormone, antral follicle count, and follicle-stimulating hormone is significantly more accurate than these individual markers for the prediction of poor ovarian response in young, nonobese women undergoing their first IVF cycle.

Conservative management of patients with isolated fallopian tube torsion can be considered a safe option, even if little evidence of recovery is observed after detorsion.

Some cases of cervical insufficiency appear to be pregnancy specific, and the etiology might be fetal or placental in origin.

Intravenous furosemide to enhance fetal renal clearance of ACE inhibitors may be a useful adjunct to medication cessation in achieving resolution of associated oligohydramnios.

The authors describe a successful live birth despite a serum hCG level of 6.1 mIU/mL at 14 days after oocyte pickup.

A woman who was a heavy smoker had low antral follicle count and low oocyte recovery in oocyte retrieval and was unable to achieve pregnancy via in vitro fertilization.

Raising the awareness of intramural pregnancy is critical to avoid misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.
