Article Abstract
Introduction: Persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) is a congenital anomaly associated with significant surgical challenges, including a high risk of postoperative retinal detachment (RD). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of surgical approach and axial length (AL) on RD risk and visual outcomes in pediatric PFV management.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 76 eyes of 74 patients who underwent cataract surgery for PFV between 2014 and 2022. Patients were categorized by RD status postoperatively (14 with RD, 62 without RD). Key predictors, including surgical approach (corneal vs. pars plicata), AL, and age at surgery, were analyzed. The primary outcomes were RD incidence and final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).
Results: Compared to the pars plicata approach, the corneal approach was associated with a significantly lower risk of RD, as indicated by a multivariate odds ratio of 0.08 (95% CI 0.01-0.6, P = 0.011). A shorter AL increased the risk of RD (median 17 vs. 20 mm, P = 0.002). The RD group showed poorer visual outcomes (P < 0.001), with a 71% loss of light perception. Surgery before 3 months improved outcomes, regardless of RD. Visible ciliary processes were strongly correlated with RD (P < 0.001).
Conclusions: Corneal surgical approach and longer AL are associated with a lower RD risk in PFV cataract surgery. Early intervention and thorough preoperative assessment of the AL and ciliary processes are crucial for optimal outcomes.

Immune signatures of SARS-CoV-2 infection resolution in human lung tissues.

While human autopsy samples have provided insights into pulmonary immune mechanisms associated with severe viral respiratory diseases, the mechanisms that contribute to a clinically favorable resolution of viral respiratory infections remain unclear due to the lack of proper experimental systems. Using mice co-engrafted with a genetically matched human immune system and fetal lung xenograft (fLX), we mapped the immunological events defining successful resolution of SARS-CoV-2 infection in human lung tissues. Viral infection is rapidly cleared from fLX following a peak of viral replication, histopathological manifestations of lung disease and loss of AT2 program, as reported in human COVID-19 patients.

Introduction: The persistent disparities in the field of obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) have become increasingly visible in the public eye, while at the same time public discourse regarding the appropriateness and efficacy of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) education has become increasingly politically polarized.
Background: While it has long been accepted that DEI training is an essential component of curricula offered in academic OBGYN departments, there remains a great deal of uncertainty regarding the best practices for developing and provisioning such training.
Methods: In this article, the authors outline lessons learned from the process of developing an evidence-based department-wide needs assessment in order to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of members of a large academic OBGYN department, including an evaluation of the impact of prior DEI educational programming.
Delayed Presentation of Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy in the Postpartum Period: A Case Report.

Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP), also known as polymorphic eruption of pregnancy, is a benign inflammatory dermatosis that typically presents in primigravid women during the third trimester of pregnancy. Postpartum onset is rare and often underrecognized. We report a case of a 29-year-old primigravida with a BMI of 38 kg/mwho delivered a healthy 4 kg male infant via emergency cesarean section for fetal distress.

Objective: To evaluate the association between low-volume chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and delay in patient care.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent CVS from 8/19/2019 to 12/31/2022 in a single center. The exposure was low-volume CVS, defined as less than 15 mg of sample.
Secular trends in the prevalence of small vulnerable newborns in Japan, 1997-2021.

BackgroundIn 2023, a collaborative UNICEF-WHO group introduced the concept of small vulnerable newborns (SVNs) to improve the identification of newborns at increased risk of adverse outcomes and to guide more effective preventive strategies. However, global data on the prevalence of SVNs remains scarce. This study aimed to examine secular trends in the prevalence of SVNs and their three subgroups, namely term small for gestational age (SGA), preterm SGA, and preterm non-SGA, in the Japanese population.
