Methods: A systematic review of the literature was carried out in different electronic databases (EMBASE, CINAHL Plus, Scopus, among others), through standardized search terms. Evaluative outcomes include studies where any treatment or intervention was published for male partners of women treated for bacterial vaginosis, recurrence rates, and proportion of male adverse events. Results: 65 articles are included, and they coincide in not recommending the detection and treatment of the male sexual partner of a woman with bacterial vaginosis; since said intervention has not shown benefits in preventing the recurrence of the infection (Grade of recommendation C); a high proportion is reported in the presence of adverse reactions in male partners. Conclusions: The results of published research on whether or not to treat the male sexual partner of a woman with bacterial vaginosis are conclusive in that it is not recommended; however, everything points to the fact that any intervention is ineffective, without offering advantages when it comes to reducing recurrence. Well-designed studies evaluating different more effective and safer treatment interventions to prevent recurrence of bacterial vaginosis are needed.","PeriodicalId":35674,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Obstetricia y Ginecologia de Venezuela","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136327161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: An observational and cross-sectional, descriptive study, was carried out by applying a registration matrix to symptomatic patients who attended the IAHULA gynecological consultation in the period between January-June 2019 to those who underwent pelvic ultrasound and hysteroscopy. Results: A sample of 24 patients was obtained. The average age was 37 years; 91.7 % had pelvic pain, 54.2 % dyspareunia, 50 % SUA and 4.2 % infertility. Of the total sample 18 patients reported isthmocele by ultrasound and 20 by hysteroscopy. Conclusion: It is important that before symptoms such as pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility and dyspareunia, isthmocele is considered as a possible cause and differential diagnosis, being an easy defect to diagnose and treat. This study demonstrates a very good correlation between the results, with ultrasound reporting a sensitivity of 100 % and specificity of 67 %. The incidence of isthmocele was 75 % by ultrasound and 83.3 % by hysteroscopy.","PeriodicalId":35674,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Obstetricia y Ginecologia de Venezuela","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47466039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overall, 87% of patients perceived moderate adherence. In care during labor and birth, 90 patients perceived moderate adherence, during the labor period, 85% found moderate adherence; in the second stage and delivery, 54% perceived that adherence was moderate but 29% described it as poor. In postpartum care for mother and newborn, 47% perceived adherence to be excellent, with 42% perceiving it as moderate. The total score was 3078 points (61.6%) corresponding to moderate adherence.

High concentrations of sex hormones and genetic predisposition appear to be important factors for their development. The incidence depends on the ethnic composition of the population and the diagnostic criteria used. It is characterized by increasing and persistent pruritus, increased concentrations of bile acids, usually in the late second or third trimester of pregnancy. It leads to the occurrence of uteroplacental hypoxia that increases the risk of meconium amniotic fluid, preterm delivery, preeclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, and perinatal death. Therapeutic management is aimed at reducing clinical symptoms, normalizing maternal biochemical changes, and preventing fetal complications.

Methods: Cross-sectional analytical study, based on the databases of the 2020 Peruvian Family Health Demographic Survey. We included 41 258 women aged 15-49 years who had at least one child in the last 5 years. Pearson’s Chi-square test and the crude prevalence ratio (cPR) and adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) were used for the bivariate analysis; and Poisson regression was used for the multivariate analysis. The STATA version 14 program was used. Results: Exclusive breastfeeding had a prevalence of 70.43%. The sociodemographic factors associated were being from the highlands [aPR: 1.39; 95% CI: 1.35-1.43] and rural area [aPR: 1,95; IC95 %: 1,93-1,96]. Regarding obstetric factors, exclusive breastfeeding training [aPR: 1.05; 95% CI: 1.03-1.06] increases the probability of compliance, while excessive bleeding in labor [aPR: 0.97; 95% CI: 0.94-0.99] and postpartum breast infection [aPR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.91-0.97] reduce it. Among neonatal factors, having a macrosomic child and early initiation of breastfeeding [aPR: 0.73; 95%CI: 0.68-0.80] are associated with exclusive breastfeeding.

Exposure to vehicular emissions of particulate matter smaller than 10 microns and carbon monoxide was determined using previously published estimates for the city. The statistical analysis was carried out in the Jamovi – Stats Open Now application. It had the endorsement of the ethics committees of the institutions involved. Results: A total of 222 patients were analyzed, 74 presented preterm delivery (cases) and 148 term delivery (controls). No statistically significant association was found between the development of preterm labor and levels of particulate matter less than 10 microns or carbon monoxide; however, there could be an association between preterm delivery and health insurance, which could not be established due to the small sample size. The spatial pattern of cases of preterm delivery in the city was also obtained based on the habitual residence of the patients.
