The Significance of Galectin-1 and Galectin-9 Expression in Endometrial Carcinoma.
To explore the expression of Galectin-1 and -9 and clinicopathological features in endometrial carcinoma (EC). ⋯ Both Galectin-1 and -9 were associated with the occurrence of EC and its pathological behavior. High expression of Galectin-1 suggests a poor prognosis, whereas high expression of Galectin-9 was associated with early pathological changes. Galectin-1 and -9 can provide references for early screening and indicate the prognosis of endometrial lesions, which are of great significance for patients' quality of life.

COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) Infection in Pregnancy: A Systematic Review.
To review published studies related to the association of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections with pregnancy, foetal, and neonatal outcomes during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in a systematic manner. ⋯ COVID-19 infection in pregnancy leads to increased risk in pregnancy complications such as preterm birth, PPROM, and may possibly lead to maternal death in rare cases. There is no evidence to support vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection to the unborn child. Due to a paucity of inconsistent data regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the newborn, caution should be undertaken to further investigate and monitor possible infection in the neonates born to COVID-19-infected mothers.

ReviewGynecologic Oncologists' Perceptions of Palliative Care and Associated Barriers: A Survey of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology.
Gynecologic oncologists frequently care for patients at the end of life with the aid of palliative care (PC) specialists. Our primary objectives were to identify perceived barriers to integrating specialty PC into gynecologic cancer care. ⋯ According to this cohort of SGO members, families' or patients' unrealistic expectations are the most frequent barriers to specialty PC. Understanding this communication breakdown is critically important.

Comparative StudyComparison of Efficacy between Internal Iliac Artery and Abdominal Aorta Balloon Occlusions in Pernicious Placenta Previa Patients with Placenta Accrete.
We aimed to compare the hemostatic effect and perioperative outcomes between internal iliac artery (IIA) and abdominal aorta (AA) balloon occlusions in pernicious placenta previa patients complicated with placenta accrete and underwent cesarean delivery. ⋯ IIA and AA occlusions have similar hemostatic effects in pernicious placenta previa patients with placenta accrete underwent cesarean delivery, while AA occlusion is more effective in reducing EBL in placenta percreta subgroup.

Three-Dimensional Modelization of the Female Human Inferior Hypogastric Plexus: Implications for Nerve-Sparing Radical Hysterectomy.
This study aims to describe the autonomic nervous network of the female pelvis with a 3D model and to provide a safe plane of dissection during radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. ⋯ The SHP could be injured during paraaortic lymphadenectomy. Following the ureter and resecting the medial fibrous part of the uterosacral ligament may spare the HN. No dissection should be performed under the crossing point of the ureter and the uterine artery.
