Introduction: Uterine torsion is a rare gynecological emergency, defined as of the uterus greater than 45° around its axis. Case reports describe either in gravid or postmenopausal women, yet rarely non-gravid, premenopausal uterus. This report describes case uterine secondary to large pedunculated fibroid 34-year-old nulliparous woman.

Genital prolapse is commonly observed in postmenopausal and multiparous women, However, nulliparous women contribute to 2% of prevalence. We report a case of 21-year-old female who presented with a large nabothian cyst contributing to prolapse. This is the first case reported in the literature.

BACKGROUND We examined the association of maternal obesity with risk of stillbirth, focusing on whether the pattern of results varied by gestational age or maternal race-ethnicity or parity. METHODS Analyses included 4,012 stillbirths and 1,121,234 liveborn infants delivered in California from 2007-2010. We excluded stillbirths due to congenital anomalies, women with hypertensive disorders or...

OBJECTIVE To perform a meta-analysis of case-control studies that addressed whether prior oral contraceptive (OC) use is associated with premenopausal breast cancer.

Search terms used included breast neoplasms, oral c...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether self-reported history of violence or experienced violence during pregnancy is associated with ...

OBJECTIVE We examined obstetric and fetal/neonatal outcomes in women with a history of recurrent miscarriage. METHODS We reviewed the obstetric records of all 5,829 nulliparous pregnant women who delivered at #8805;14 weeks' gestation from 2008 through 2013 at our perinatal center. Of these women, 74 had a history of recurrent miscarriage (1.3%). The control population consisted of 4,176 null...

Background: Long-term safety of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) is of interest as their use is increasing. Cancer risk is known to be affected by parity. This study examined the risk of cancer after fertility treatment, stratified by women's parity.Methods: Data were obtained from all women (n = 1,353,724) born in Norway between 1960 and 1996. Drug exposure data (2004-2014) were obtained...

Objective: To study maternal and neonatal outcomes, the nulliparous women submitted to a training program in third trimester. Materials and methods: This randomized controlled trial was carried out on 64 nulliparous pregnant women divided into two groups according to their participation including; training group; n=34 or not; n=34. The program consisted of 8 meetings (between the 28 th and the ...

OBJECTIVE To estimate in a cohort of nulliparous women in labor at term whether cesarean delivery rates are increased in first and second stages of labor in overweight and obese women and whether being overweight or obese is an independent risk factor for cesarean delivery. METHODS Nulliparous women recruited to the prospective Screening for Pregnancy Endpoints study who went into labor after...
