Current evidence suggests that subclinical inflammation plays a significant role in the development of hyperemesis gravidarum (HEG). Simple hematological markers, such as mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), have been shown to reflect inflammatory burden and disease activity in several disorders. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic value of these hematological parameters for HEG. ⋯ Our results show that peripheral blood NLR and PLR values can reflect inflammatory burden in HEG patients and can be used as markers for HEG.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a developmental discontinuity of the diaphragm. It allows abdominal viscera to herniate into the chest and leads to lung hypoplasia. ⋯ In selected cases, a prenatal procedure to improve neonatal survival is possible. The authors of this manuscript believe their work might contribute to a better understanding of congenital diaphragmatic hernia and patient selection for the FETO (fetal endoscopic tracheal occlusion) surgery or expectant management.

Outpatient hysteroscopy has become an integral part of postgraduate training in gynecology. It is an operator-dependent procedure, however there are no recommendations regarding total number of performed procedures to reach proficiency. ⋯ As the length of the LC for outpatient hysteroscopy seems highly variable, it is reasonable to provide tailored monitoring while training.
