Perception of newly graduated physicians toward ethical education in medical schools: a Brazilian cross-sectional nationwide study.
The objective of this study was to evaluate fresh medical graduates' perceptions regarding the general aspects of ethics teaching in Brazilian medical schools. ⋯ Despite great efforts to improve medical ethics education, our findings suggest the persistence of deficits and inadequacies in the ethics training currently given in medical schools in Brazil. Further modifications in ethics training must be made to address the deficiencies shown in this study. This process should be accompanied by continuous evaluation.

The effectiveness of preoperative diagnostic methods in predicting intra-abdominal adhesions before repeat cesarean section delivery.
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of skin appearance, striae gravidarum severity, and ultrasonographic "sliding sign" in predicting preoperative adhesions before repeat cesarean section delivery on the same patient and find the most useful one. ⋯ Stria score, scar appearance, and sliding sign are all significant predictors for intraperitoneal adhesions, and sliding sign, as an easy-to-apply, inexpensive, useful sonographic marker, is the most effective adhesion predictor before repeat cesarean section delivery compared to other known adhesion markers.

Association between lower urinary tract symptoms and polycystic ovary syndrome.
The aim of this study was to analyze the association between lower urinary tract symptoms and polycystic ovary syndrome. ⋯ In our study, a close relationship was observed between polycystic ovary syndrome and lower urinary tract symptoms.

Maternal-fetal outcomes of women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
The objective of this study was to determine adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes in pregnant women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. ⋯ Women with preeclampsia/eclampsia had a higher risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes than those with chronic or gestational hypertension. This major maternity care center requires strategies for preventing and managing preeclampsia/eclampsia to improve pregnancy outcomes.

Evaluation of the relationship between blood cell markers and inflammation, disease activity, and general health status in ankylosing spondylitis.
The aim of this study was to assess the relation of systemic immune inflammation index, systemic inflammation response index, and systemic inflammation aggregate index with disease activity, functional status, and general health status in ankylosing spondylitis. ⋯ Systemic immune inflammation index, systemic inflammation response index, and systemic inflammation aggregate index can be used to indicate systemic inflammatory burden in ankylosing spondylitis patients. However, these indexes are not effective in indicating patients' disease activity, general health status, and functional status.
