A clinical history analysis guide was used as a data collection instrument. Results: Regarding the type of delivery, cesarean section predominated (52.3 versus 47.7%), however, 68.9% of the complications occurred in those with vaginal delivery, the most frequent being vaginal tears (33.3%), retained placenta (8.9%) and uterine hypotonia (8.9%). In contrast, in the group of pregnant women with cesarean section, surgical site infections (17.8%) and anemia (8.9%) were identified as the most frequent complications.

Methods: Cross-sectional study. The population consisted of patients who attended to the Hospital Universitario de Caracas with pelvic organ prolapse stage II or greater and who had involvement of the apical compartment between 2021 and 2022. The selection of the sample was made in a non-probabilistic, sequential way. Each patient underwent POPQ before and after simulation of apical support with the posterior blade of a standard Graves speculum. The Aa Ba Ap and Bp points were evaluated before and after simulation and the proportion of patients in whom the stage of anterior or posterior prolapse changed when simulating apical support was also determined. Results: We included 100 patients, most of them with prolapse stage III and IV. After apical support, the anterior compartment points were corrected to a value between 0 to -2 or -3 in most cases (p< 0.05). The points corresponding to the posterior vaginal wall changed to -3 in most patients (p< 0.05). The prolapse stage of the anterior compartment, changed to stage ≤ II in 99 % of cases (p< 0.05), and in 100% in the posterior compartment (p<0.05).

Methods: A longitudinal and prospective study was conducted between January 2016 and December 2022 in women with low-risk singleton pregnancies, between 14 and 40 weeks of gestation, who attended prenatal consultation at the Central Hospital “Dr. Urquinaona”, Maracaibo. Biparietal diameter, abdominal circumference, femur length, and fetal sacrum length were measured during pregnancy. Results: For the final analysis, data from 215 healthy women was selected. A total of 3,033 total evaluations were performed, with the lowest number of evaluations at 38 weeks with 104 and the highest number of 139 at 22 weeks. When analyzing the correlation between sacral length and gestational age by date of last menstrual period and the rest of the ultrasound variables used, strong, positive, and significant correlations were found (p < 0.0001). The average difference between the gestational age determined by the date of the last menstrual period and that obtained by the model was +/- 0.3 weeks. The value of the coefficient of determination of the model of gestational age predicted by measurement was 0.975.
