Article Abstract
Aim: We aimed to determine the influence of body mass index (BMI) on induction of labor.
Methods: In this historical multicenter cohort study, 2122 labor inductions were analyzed. Women were divided into four groups according to their body mass index (BMI): BMI < 30 (normal group [NG]), 30 ≤ BMI < 35 (group 1 [G1]), 35 ≤ BMI < 40 (group 2 [G2]), and BMI ≥ 40 (group 3 [G3]). The primary outcome measure was the induction-to-delivery interval. The secondary outcome parameter was, among others, the rate of cesarean section.
Results: A total of 1113 inductions of labor were analyzed in the NG, 610 in G1, 239 in G2, and 160 in G3. The induction-to-delivery interval was shorter in the NG compared to G1 (mean values 1550 min vs 1669 min, P = 0.0406), G2 (1745 min, P = 0.0294), and G3 (1899 min, P = 0.0008). The cesarean section rate was significantly higher in G1-G3 (G1: 30.8%, P < 0.001; G2: 30.5%, P < 0.0067; G3: 42.5%, P < 0.0001) compared to the NG (21.8%). There were more vaginal deliveries within 48 h in the NG (84%) compared to G1-G3 (78%, P = 0.0186; 75%, P = 0.0049; 75%, P = 0.0329). However, these findings could mainly be seen in nulliparous women when stratifying for parity. Multivariable analysis showed that high BMI increased the induction-to-delivery interval whereas high parity, gestational age, and Bishop score decreased it.
Conclusion: An increased body mass index has a negative impact on induction of labor at term, especially in nulliparous women.

Evaluation of nutritional status and swallowing functions of children with neuromuscular disordes.
Neuro Endocrinol Lett
September 2025
Department of Pediatric Neurology, Cukurova University Faculty of Medicine, Adana, Turkey.
Objective: It is important to raise awareness of the nutritional problems that can be overlooked during the follow-up visits with children who suffer from neuromuscular diseases, as these dietary differences may lead to additional neurological and systemic problems and impair the quality of life of the patient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional status of children with neuromuscular disorders and to prevent possible complications by recognizing possible nutritional problems in advance.
Methods: Patients who applied to the outpatient clinic at Cukurova University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pediatric Neurology beginning in April 2022 with a neuromuscular disorder diagnosis were followed up with and were included in the study.
Anatomical Risk Factors for Portal Vein Complications Following Right Hepatectomy in Living Donors.
Ann Surg

Division of Hepatobiliary Surgery and Liver Transplantation, Department of Surgery, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Objective: To determine the incidence, clinical outcomes, and anatomical risk factors of portal vein (PV)-related complications after right lobe donor hepatectomy (RLDH).
Summary Background Data: With the increase in living donor liver transplantation, large-scale studies on donor morbidity have been conducted to ensure donor safety. However, reports evaluating PV-related complications following right hepatectomy in living donors are lacking.

Objective: to compare the effect of salt consumption on blood pressure (BP) of an indigenous and of a non-indigenous population in Brazil.
Design: the studies were carried out in the years of 1999-2004 in an urban population of Vitória (n = 1,663), the capital of Espírito Santo State, and in an indigenous population settled in a reserve of Aracruz (n = 663). Salt consumption was evaluated by a 12-hour overnight urine collect.

This study aimed to evaluate mortality due to female breast cancer attributable to overweight and obesity and to estimate the number of preventable deaths with a reduction in the Body Mass Index in Brazil. An ecological study was carried out with investigation of information on overweight, obesity, sociodemographic characteristics based on a national survey carried out in 2013-14; breast cancer mortality rate in 2019 using the Online Atlas of Mortality and Relative Risk Meta-Analyses. The Potential Impact Fraction analysis was carried out, considering the following counterfactual scenarios related to the reduction in BMI: Scenario A - population contingent of women that make up the prevalence of overweight and obesity now composes the prevalence of eutrophy; Scenario B - population contingent of women that make up the prevalence of overweight starts to make up the prevalence of eutrophy; Scenario C - population contingent of women that make up the prevalence of obesity becomes part of the prevalence of overweight.
