RESUMEN
Smoking and substance use during pregnancy are major preventable causes of mortality and morbidity, having a bidirectional and deleterious relationship with the mental health of the mother and child. As part of the WOMAP (Woman Mental Health and Addictions on Pregnancy) initiative, our study aimed to describe the prevalence of co-occurring mental illness and substance use problems, diagnoses and severity of those considered at risk and rates of treatment.A screening of 2,014 pregnant women was done using the AC-OK scale and they were asked about their smoking habits and services use for mental health/substance abuse. Of these, 170 women were considered at risk of co-occurring mental illness and substance use problems (≥ 2 positive responses to the AC-OK-Mental Health subscale, ≥ 1 positive response to the AC-OK-Substance Abuse subscale and/or smoking more than once a month and no use of specialized services) and were assessed with a more extensive battery of measures (Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ-9], General Anxiety Disorder [GAD-7], Posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD] Checklist for DSM-5 [PCL-5], Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test [AUDIT], Drug Abuse Screening Test [DAST] and Fagerström).In the last year, 614 women (30.5%) smoked tobacco (42.5% daily) and 9.8% were positive for both substance use and mental illness per the AC-OK. Only 11.1% of them received specific treatment in the previous three months while another 13.6% were scheduled to attend services in the following month. From the subsample assessed in depth, 62(36.5%) endorsed at least moderate depression, 35(20.6%) endorsed at least moderate anxiety, 32(18.8%) endorsed PTSD on the PCL, and 37 out of 88 alcohol users scored above the threshold in AUDIT (≥ 3). In conclusion, high prevalence and low treatment rates suggest that effective detection mechanisms should be integrated into usual care, allowing for early interventions.
El tabaquismo y el consumo de sustancias durante el embarazo son importantes causas prevenibles de morbimortalidad, teniendo una relación bidireccional y deletérea con la salud mental de la madre y el niño. Como parte de la iniciativa WOMAP (Woman Mental Health and Addictions on Pregnancy), se estudiaron 2.014 embarazadas buscando describir la prevalencia de trastornos mentales y por uso de sustancias concurrentes, las tasas de tratamiento y los diagnósticos y la gravedad. Las participantes fueron evaluadas con la escala AC-OK y se les preguntó sobre sus hábitos tabáquicos y uso de servicios de salud mental/sustancias. De las participantes, 170 mujeres resultaron positivas para un trastorno mental y por uso de sustancias concurrentes (≥ 2 positivos a la subescala AC-OK-Salud Mental, ≥ 1 positivos a la subescala AC-OK-Sustancias y/o fumar más de una vez al mes y no estar en tratamiento) y fueron evaluadas en profundidad mediante una batería de escalas (Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ-9], General Anxiety Disorder [GAD-7], Post-traumatic stress disorder Checklist [PCL-5], Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test [AUDIT], Drug Abuse Screening Test [DAST] y Fagerström).En el último año, 614 mujeres (30,5%) fumaron tabaco (42,5% diariamente) y el 9,8% fueron positivas para problemas por uso de sustancias y salud mental según la AC-OK. Solo el 11,1% había recibido tratamiento en los tres meses previos y solo un 13,6% tenía una cita en el siguiente mes. De las 170 pacientes evaluadas secundariamente, 62(36,5%) presentaron al menos depresión moderada, 35(20,6%) al menos ansiedad moderada, 32(18,8%) fueron positivas a la PCL-5, y 37 de las 88 que reconocieron uso de alcohol puntuaron por encima del umbral en AUDIT (≥ 3). En conclusión, la combinación de una prevalencia significativa junto con bajas tasas de tratamiento, remarcan la necesidad de mecanismos de detección efectivos en la atención habitual, permitiendo una intervención temprana.

BACKGROUND: Obstetric fistulas in developed countries are infrequent and have been associated with instrumental vaginal delivery, manual removal of placenta and surgical complications during caesarean section. We present the diagnosis and treatment of an obstetric fistula of patient without clear risk factors in a developed country. CASE REPORT: The case presented is of a 37 weeks pregnant with history of previous cesarean section. A male of 2,600 g was born after a not prolonged vaginal delivery. In the immediate postpartum period, appeared evident hematuria and in the exploration a defect was detected in the vaginal anterior face at 3 cm from the urethral meatus. Cystoscopy showed a torn in bladder of 8 cm at the bottom. Reparation of vesicovaginal fistula was carried out with omentoplasty. Postoperative course was uneventful. CONCLUSION: A vesicovaginal fistula must be considered in any patient with hematuria. Early repair is essential for a favorable outcome.

Exaggerated placental site, a trophoblastic benign lesion, is characterized by an extensive infiltration of the endometrium, myometrium and arterial walls by intermediate trophoblast cells. Trophoblastic benign lesions are often an incidental finding in the anatomopathological study, but may be associated with severe bleeding especially in relation to trauma. Case report: Multigravida 39 years old with excessive uterine bleeding after medical treatment of abortion. Once expelled gestational vesicle is seen sonographically a uterine cavity occupied by a heterogeneous endometrium with maximum anteroposterior diameter of 21 mm, plenty of color map, reaching myometrium. B-HCG serum is 164 mlU/ml. During hysteroscopy a massive bleeding happens and its necesary to use an intrauterine catheter to stop it. Computed tomography angiography shows suggestive findings of uterine vascular malformation. A hysterectomy as a diagnostic and definitive treatment is made and pathology reports an exaggerated placental site.

BACKGROUND: Several viral infections cause changes in the placenta. Cytomegalovirus, herpes viruses, and HIV cause increased placental thickness; Zika virus induces focal regions of necrosis; parvovirus B19 causes a structural injury. Umbilical flow can be considered a direct measurement of vascular placental function. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare placental ultrasound and umbilical Doppler findings in pregnant women who tested positive or negative for SARS-CoV-2. Our work aimed to confirm the suspicion of placental infection and the consequence in fetal physiopathology. STUDY DESIGN: Fifty-seven pregnant women who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 at the time of or 1 month before the ultrasound scan were evaluated. Cases included 9 first trimester, 16 second trimester, and 32 third trimester ultrasound scans. For comparison, 110 pregnant women (controls) were evaluated. They included 19 women in their first trimester, 43 in their second trimester, and 48 in the third trimester. Controls were asymptomatic and tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 infection in the last 72 hours before the ultrasound scan. Fetal biometry, placental thickness, placental lakes and Doppler umbilical vein parameters, including venous cross-sectional area (mean transverse diameter and radius of umbilical vein, mean velocity of umbilical vein), and umbilical vein blood flow were evaluated. RESULTS: Placental thickness (in millimeter) was significantly higher in the group of pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection (53.82 [10-115]) than in the control group (33.82 [12-66]; P<.001) in their second and third trimesters. The frequency of >4 placental lakes was significantly higher in the group of pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection (28/57 [50.91%]) than in the control (7/110 [6.36]; P<.001) in all 3 trimesters. The mean velocity of umbilical vein was significantly higher in the group of pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection (12.45 [5.73-21]) than in the control group (10.81 [6.31-18.80]; P=.001) in all 3 trimesters. Umbilical vein blood flow (in milliliter per minute) was significantly higher in the group of pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection (389.9 [6.52-1496.1]) than in the control group (305.05 [3.11-1441]; P=.05) in all 3 trimesters. CONCLUSION: Significant differences in placental and venous Doppler ultrasound were documented. Placental thickness, placental venous lakes, mean velocity of umbilical vein, and umbilical vein flow were significantly higher in the group of pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection in all 3 trimesters.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Efficacy of the nine-valent human papillomavirus (9vHPV; HPV types 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58) vaccine was demonstrated in a phase 3 study in women 16-26â¯years of age. We present a phase 3 immunogenicity and safety study of the 9vHPV vaccine in women 27-45 versus 16-26â¯years of age. METHODS: This international, open-label study (NCT03158220) was conducted in women 16-45â¯years of age. Participants (16-26â¯years, nâ¯=â¯570 and 27-45â¯years, nâ¯=â¯642) received a three-dose 9vHPV vaccination regimen (day 1, month 2, month 6). Month 7 geometric mean titers (GMTs) and seroconversion percentages to anti-HPV 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58 were assessed. Participants were followed for safety throughout the study. RESULTS: At month 7, anti-HPV 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58 GMTs in women 27-45â¯years were compared to those in women 16-26â¯years of age. The primary hypothesis of non-inferiority of anti-HPV 16/18/31/33/45/52/58 GMTs in older versus younger women was met. The lower bound of the GMT ratio 95% confidence interval (27-45â¯years to 16-26â¯years) was 0.60-0.67 depending on HPV type, exceeding the non-inferiority margin of 0.5 for all HPV types. Month 7 seroconversion percentages in women 27-45â¯years of age were >99% for all HPV types. Injection-site and vaccine-related systemic adverse events (AEs) were observed in 87.5% and 25.1% of women 16-26â¯years, and 85.2% and 24.1% of women 27-45â¯years of age, respectively; no vaccine-related serious AEs were reported and no deaths occurred during the study. CONCLUSIONS: The 9vHPV vaccine elicited non-inferior anti-HPV GMTs in women 27-45â¯years compared with women 16-26â¯years of age for HPV 16/18/31/33/45/52/58. The vaccine was generally well tolerated with a similar AE profile across the age groups. These data support bridging 9vHPV vaccine efficacy findings in women 16-26â¯years to women 27-45â¯years of age. Clinical trial registration NCT03158220.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the main causes of infection-related cancer. The bivalent vaccine (2vHPV) (16/18) and quadrivalent (6/11/16/18) HPV vaccine (4vHPV) have been included in the Spanish vaccination calendar since 2007. The new nonavalent HPV vaccine (9vHPV), approved in Europe in 2015, includes nine HPV types 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58 and has been available in Spain since May 2017. Our study aims to estimate the epidemiological impact and the cost-effectiveness of a girls-only and a gender-neutral vaccination program with 9vHPV compared to the current vaccination program in Spain. A dynamic transmission model simulating the natural history of HPV infections was calibrated to the Spanish setting and applied to estimate costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) associated with vaccination strategies using a payer perspective and a 100-year time horizon. A girls-only vaccination strategy at age 12 years with 9vHPV was found to be a cost-effective strategy compared with 4vHPV (incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of 7,718 per QALY). Compared with girls-only vaccination with 4vHPV, gender-neutral vaccination with 9vHPV was associated with further reductions of up to 28.5% in the incidence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2/3 and 17.1% in the incidence of cervical cancer, as well as with a 14.0% reduction in cervical cancer mortality. Furthermore, a gender-neutral vaccination program with 9vHPV could potentially be cost-effective considering some parameters as head and neck protection or discount rates, leading to a reduction in the burden of HPV-related diseases in both sexes in the Spanish population.

Resumen OBJETIVO: Evaluar la prevalencia de obesidad en el área de influencia del Hospital Universitario Infanta Leonor y analizar los desenlaces obstétricos y perinatales de embarazadas obesas. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio observacional, transversal y retrospectivo efectuado con base en los datos de partos atendidos en el año 2019 en el Hospital Universitario Infanta Leonor y asentados en las historias clínicas. Se evaluaron y determinaron la prevalencia de obesidad, las variables maternas y el desenlace perinatal en embarazadas con obesidad. RESULTADOS: Se analizaron 428 embarazadas, con obesidad, de 2048 partos atendidos. La prevalencia de obesidad fue 21.59%. La edad materna fue 32 años y 39.10% eran migrantes; el índice de masa corporal (IMC) medio fue 33.61 kg/m2; 33.18% eran primíparas; 14.12% recibieron algún tratamiento y 18.63% seguimiento endocrinológico. Las semanas de embarazo al parto fueron 39; 43.93% de los partos se indujeron. La tasa de cesáreas fue 26.17% y en el 51.45% hubo complicaciones. El peso medio de los recién nacidos fue 3345.9 g. La mediana del Apgar al primer minuto fue 9 y 10 a los 5. El 16.24% de los recién nacidos tuvo pH en sangre de cordón ≤ 7.20; 1.96% de los recién nacidos ingresó a cuidados intensivos y 0.93% fue la tasa de muerte fetal. CONCLUSIONES: La prevalencia de obesidad fue superior a la media nacional. Factores como la migración y la multiparidad se asociaron con mayor IMC, y éste con más complicaciones (ingreso a cuidados intensivos y muerte fetal anteparto). La obesidad se asoció con mayor tasa de inducción de parto, cesáreas, desgarros perineales, peso fetal y menor pH al nacimiento.
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of obesity in the healthcare area of Hospital Universitario Infanta Leonor and analyze the obstetric and perinatal outcomes of obese patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective transversal observational study based on data from births in Hospital Universitario Infanta Leonor during 2019. 2048 clinical records were evaluated in order to determine prevalence of obesity, as well as maternal and perinatal outcomes variables in pregnant women with obesity. RESULTS: A total of 428 pregnant women with obesity were analyzed out of 2048 deliveries attended. The prevalence of obesity was 21.59%. Maternal age was 32 years; 39.10% of the patients were migrants; the mean BMI was 33.61 kg/m2; 33.18% were primiparous; 14.2% received any pharmacological treatment and 18.63% had endocrinological follow-up. Gestational age at labour was 39 weeks; 43.93% of deliveries were induced; caesarean delivery rate was 26.17% and 51.45% presented complications. Newborn's mean weight was 3345.9 g. The 1-minute Apgar score median was 9 and the 5-minute Apgar score was 10; 16.24% of newborns had cord pH≤7.20; 1.96% ICU admission and 0.93% of fetal death. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of obesity in pregnant women in the Hospital Universitario Infanta Leonor healthcare area was higher than the national mean. Factors such as migration and multiparity are associated with higher BMI, which leads to an increased risk of complications, especially ICU admission and antepartum fetal death. Obesity is associated with a higher rate of labour induction, caesarean delivery, tears, higher neonatal weight and lower pH.
RESUMEN
La operación cesárea que hoy en día realizamos de forma casi rutinaria en la mayoría de centros hospitalarios del mundo es consecuencia de una apasionante búsqueda de mejoras por las generaciones precedentes de obstetras. A lo largo de los años, la cesárea ha experimentado importantes cambios en la técnica quirúrgica, en la frecuencia de su práctica y en sus indicaciones, tanto maternas como fetales. En los siglos XVII, XVIII y XIX implicaba una elevadísima mortalidad materna, por lo que únicamente se realizaba en casos desesperados, con la esperanza del salvar al nasciturus. La introducción de los principios de asepsia-antisepsia por Semmelweis, Koch, Lister y Halsted, la sutura de la herida uterina, la incisión en el segmento uterino inferior y la incisión transversa en el segmento inferior del útero supusieron una importante disminución de la mortalidad materna. En la segunda mitad del siglo XX, el empleo de la antibio-ticoterapia, la transfusión sanguínea, el perfeccionamiento de la anestesia y de los cuidados perioperatorios, así como la modificación ulterior de algunas técnicas quirúrgicas, ha conseguido reducir ampliamente la morbimortalidad asociada a esta intervención. Todos estos cambios han conseguido que la cesárea haya pasado de ser una operación in extremis que condenaba con gran probabilidad a la paciente, a una técnica que en la actualidad es demandada por algunas mujeres como sustitución del parto vaginal.
The cesarean section is an operation routinely performed in the majority of hospitals around the world. The cesarean section came to be as an early generation of obstetricians passionately searched for a way to improve their field. Throughout the years, it has experien-ced numerous changes: the surgical technique, it's frequency, and it's medical indications (both fetal and maternal). During the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries it implied a very high maternal mortality rate, which left it as a last resort option with the only hope to save the nasciturus. The introduction of asepsis and antisepsis (Semmelweis, Koch, Lister, and Halsted at the end of the 19th century), the suture of the uterine wall, and the transverse incision in the lower uterine segment drastically reduced maternal mortality. During the second half of the 20th century, the use of antibiotics and blood transfusions, improvements in anesthesia and perioperative care, and the further modifications to the surgical technique considerably reduced the morbidity and mortality associated with the operation. All these changes transformed the cesarean section from a surgical intervention done in extremis, where the mother would probably die, to a technique currently demanded by some women as a substitute to the vaginal delivery.

Objetivo: Evaluar la disminución de la tasa de técnicas invasivas de diagnóstico prenatal tras la introducción del cribado contingente de cromosomopatías con test de DNA fetal libre circulante (DNA-lc)y demostrar que este método de cribado es coste-efectivo. Método: estudio observacional prospectivo y estudio de coste efectividad. Primero se describen los resultados del cribado combinado en dos tiempos de primer trimestre desde febrero de 2008 a junio 2018 diez primeros años del hospital): 21744 cribados realizados de un total de 23000 partos. En abril de 2016 se implementa un modelo de cribado contingente de cromosomopatías con test de DNAlc (se oferta el test a pacientes con resultado de riesgo intermedio en el cribado combinado). En segundo lugar se analizan los resultados tras la implementación del test y se comparan dos períodos de tiempo con y sin cribado contingente (año 2015 con el período abril 2016 hasta marzo de 2019). Resulta-dos: disminución total de las técnicas invasivas del 54% por disminución de la tasa de amniocentesis, manteniéndose constante la tasa de biopsias coriales. La tasa de pérdidas fetales por técnica invasiva alcanza el 0%. Usamos seis indicadores de calidad para evaluar el test. Se hanahorrado 70200 euros con la implementación del test de DNA-lc. Discusión: el test de DNAlc resulta útil en el cribado contingente de cromosomopatías porque reduce la tasa de amniocentesis por indicación de alto riesgo y además es coste efectivo. El cribado combinado de primer trimestre es la técnica de elección para el cribado de aneuploidias. El test de DNAlc no puede sustituir al cribado combinado porque es caro, pero resulta muy útil si se realiza cribado contingente a la población seleccionada de riesgo intermedio.

Resumen Antecedentes La aparición más común de la hiperplasia micro-glandular es en el endocérvix, luego en sitios con epitelio glandular mucinoso; en el ovario es excepcional. Se ha descrito posterior a la exposición a la progesterona como anticonceptivo, sin antecedente de exposición hormonal y en mujeres posmenopáusicas. En 2014 la OMS clasificó los tumores mucinosos de ovario como: mucinosos fronterizos (borderline), seromucinosos fronterizos (tumores mucinosos de tipo endocervical-mülleriano) y carcinoma mucinoso. Objetivo Exponer el diagnóstico de una tumoración ovárica benigna infrecuente, en una paciente que recibió estimulación hormonal con fines reproductivos. Caso clínico Paciente de 38 años, con hallazgo ecográfico de formación quística de 25 x 33 mm de pared gruesa e irregular, con papila de 6 mm vascularizada y el resto de contenido quístico heterogéneo. La paciente había recibido hiperestimulación ovárica controlada en cuatro ocasiones, la última seis meses previos al hallazgo, momento en que recibía anticoncepción combinada, previa a un nuevo ciclo. Se le practicó anexectomía derecha y lavado peritoneal. El diagnóstico anatomopatológico fue de tumor mucinoso proliferante, de tipo endocervical, con hiperplasia microglandular y citología del líquido aspirado, inflamatoria. El perfil inmunohistoquímico fue: citoqueratina7 positiva y citoqueratina 20, CDX2 (proteína homeobox) y antígeno carcinoembrionario negativos. El anticuerpo monoclonal Ki-67 fue menor de 10%. Los receptores de estrógenos fueron focalmente positivos y los de progesterona positivos de forma difusa e intensa. La paciente evolucionó favorablemente después del tratamiento. Conclusiones La hiperplasia microglandular puede aparecer en tumores mucinosos benignos de ovario y hay que considerar su posible implicación hormonal.
Abstract Background Microglandular hyperplasia is most commonly located in the endocervix, but may appear in any location with mucinous glandular epithelium. Ovarian presentation is exceptional. It has been described in women after exposure to progesterone as contraceptive, without history of hormonal exposure and in postmenopausal. In 2014, WHO classified mucinous ovarian tumors as borderline mucinous, borderline seromucinous (mucinous tumors of the endocervical/mül-lerian type) and mucinous carcinoma. Objective To describe the diagnosis of an uncommon benign ovarian tumor in a patient who underwent hormonal stimulation for reproductive purposes. Clinical case 38-year-old patient with an ultrasound finding of a 25 x 33mm cystic formation with a thick and irregular wall, a 6mm vascularized papilla and a heterogeneous cystic content. The patient had undergone controlled ovarian hyperstimulation on four occasions, the last one 6 months prior to the finding, when she was on combined contraception prior to a new cycle. Right adnexectomy and peritoneal lavage were performed. The anatomopathological diagnosis was an endocervical mucinous proliferative tumor with microglan-dular hyperplasia and inflammatory cytology of the aspirated fluid. The immunohistochemical profile was: cytokeratin 7 positive and cytokeratin 20, CDX2 (homeobox protein) and CEA (carcinoembry-onic antigen) negative. The monoclonal antibody Ki-67 was < 10%. Estrogen receptors were focally positive and progesterone receptors positive in a diffuse and intense form. After treatment, the patient had a favorable evolution. Conclusions Microglandular hyperplasia may be present in ovarian mucinous benign tumors. A hormonal involvement should be considered.
