Objective: To establish the association between serum calcium concentrations, cortical thickness of the second metacarpal and symptoms of menopause. Methods: This study was cross-sectional and prospective and included menopausal women aged between 50 and 70 years who attended the Gynecology and Obstetrics consultation at the Central Hospital “Dr. Urquinaona”, Maracaibo, Venezuela. General characteristics, serum calcium concentrations, cortical thickness of the second metacarpal and menopausal symptoms were evaluated. Results: Most of the patients (55.5%) were older than 65 years, with the onset of menopause after 45 years (64.8%), with 4 or more pregnancies (85.2%) and without a history use of contraceptive methods (79.6%). It was observed that 38 participants (70.3%) presented normal values of serum calcium concentrations, while 16 women (29.6%) presented values below the normal value and 28 participants (51.8%) presented moderate changes. and 6 women (11.1%) presented severe changes in the cortical thickness of the second metacarpal. When analyzing the possible associations between menopausal symptoms with both serum calcium values and cortical thickness values, it was observed that these were not significant (p = 0.5097 and p =0.1617, respectively). No association was found between serum calcium concentrations and cortical thickness (p = 0.4074). Conclusion: There is no significant association between serum calcium concentrations, cortical thickness of the second metacarpal and menopausal symptoms.

Objective: To estimate the frequency of muscle and joint pain and to identify if other menopausal symptoms, age, nutritional status, metabolic risk, and menopausal status were associated factors. Methods: A Cross-sectional study which is part of the CAVIMEC project (Calidad de vida en la menopausia y Etnias Colombianas) was carried out in climacteric Afro-descendant women, between 40 and 59 years old, living in the Colombian Caribbean. They were surveyed in their own residences, prior informed consent. The Menopause Rating Scale was applied, this instrument assesses menopausal symptoms. Logistic regression was performed and the Spearman correlation coefficient was estimated. P value<0.05 was statistically significant. Results: 420 women were studied, median age 50.0 ± 6.1, 22.8% postmenopausal and 82.8% with abdominal obesity. 243 (57.9%) had muscle and joint pain. All menopausal symptoms were more frequent among women with muscle and joint pain.

Objective: To determine the usefulness of intrapartum transperineal ultrasound in the progression of labor in patients admitted to the Concepción Palacios Maternity Parting Room Service, in the period May-August 2019. Methods: Prospective, descriptive and longitudinal study involving 98 patients. Transperineal ultrasound was performed every two hours during labor, evaluating cervical characteristics and changes in fetal head position and decline variety, linking them to clinical findings. Results: 219 ultrasounds were performed. At the begin, the ultrasound mean of the dilation was 5.94 x 1.70 cm and by clinic was 5.96 x 1.80 cm (p-0.717). At two hours, it was 8.14 x 1.92 cm and 8.15 x 2.07 cm, respectively (p-0.849). At the third control, it was 8.35 x 1.70 cm per ultrasound and by clinic it was 8.43 x 1.97 (p.0.604). With regard to erasure, among the 4 patients with grade 3 (the least erasure), 1 (25%) neck erased 40% - 50% and 3 (75%), 60% - 70%; 116 (100%) patients ultrasound as grade 0 (the maximum erasure), had a neck erased by more than 80%. There was an association between Hodge’s plane with the head-to-perineum distance (p-0.001) and the mid-line angle (p-0.001). There was no association with head-symphysis distance. Satisfaction was 100%. Conclusion: Intrapartum transperineal ultrasound is useful in evaluating the progression of labor. Keywords: Transperineal, Position variety, Fetal head descent.

Objective: To determine the postoperative results of the reduction of labia minora using the simple incision technique with CO2 laser, in the period August 2015 - April 2016, in the city of Valencia, Carabobo State. Methods: Descriptive, non-experimental and field study. The sample consisted of 50 patients who attended the gynecology consultation. The technique of direct observation, filling of the clinical history, and evaluation at 7 days postoperatively was used for data collection. Results: Once the data were analyzed, it was obtained as results that the average age of the patients was 32.68 years. Among the postoperative symptoms, 8% reported burning in the operative area in the first 24 hours. Postoperative complications were as follows: bruising 4% and dehiscence 2%. 98% of patients felt satisfied or very satisfied with the process. Conclusion: Complications are minor with the simple incision technique with CO2 laser, it is safe and satisfactory results were obtained. It also allows to dry out the hyperchromic area of the edge of the lips that, in most cases, tends to bother from the aesthetic point of view. The benefits of the tool include better healing, fewer postoperative symptoms and faster recovery. Keywords: Labioplasty, Laser CO2, Reduction technique labia minora, Postoperative labioplasty.

Objective: To determine if there is a causal association between the pre-pregnancy maternal body mass index or weight gain, and the presence of postpartum pelvic floor dysfunctions, such as urinary and fecal incontinence and sexual dysfunction. Methods: We carried out a prospective observational cohort study with 500 pregnant women controlled at HUV Macarena (Seville)from january to april of 2012. Patients were categorized according to their pregestational BMI and the weight gain during pregnancy.We analyzed the causes of the presence of urinary and fecal incontinence and sexual dysfunction at 6,12 months and 7 years after delivery. Results: Overweight was observed in 26 %, obesity in 16,6 % and excessive weight gain in 46,7 %. Fetal macrosomia was associated with urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction in all three periods and with fecal incontinence at 7 years. Statistically significant associations were observed between urinary incontinence at 7 year and obesity, OR 2,737 IC 96 % (1,262-5,938) and between sexual dysfunction at 1 year and at 7 years with obesity, OR 7,321 IC 95 % (1,307-41,006) and with weight gain, OR 8,427 IC 95 % (1,026-69,225). Conclusions: Pregnancy and childbirth are risk factors for pelvic floor dysfunctions, since fetal macrosomia, pre-pregnancy obesity and excessive weight gain have been associated with their development. It is important to advise patients on weight control before and during pregnancy. Keywords: Obesity, Gestational weight gain, Body mass index, Pregnancy, Pelvic floor disorders.
目的:确定孕前母体体重指数或体重增加与产后盆底功能障碍(如大小便失禁和性功能障碍)之间是否存在因果关系。方法:我们对2012年1月至4月在塞维利亚HUV Macarena控制的500名孕妇进行了前瞻性观察性队列研究。根据患者的孕前BMI和孕期体重增加对患者进行分类。我们分析了产后6、12个月和7年出现大小便失禁和性功能障碍的原因。结果:超重者占26%,肥胖者占16,6%,超重者占46,7%。巨大胎儿在所有三个时期都与尿失禁和性功能障碍有关,在7岁时与大便失禁有关。在7岁时尿失禁与肥胖(OR 2737 IC 96%(1262-5938))、1岁时和7岁时性功能障碍与肥胖(OR7321 IC 95%(1307-41006))和体重增加(OR 8427 IC 95%(1026-69225))之间观察到统计学上显著的相关性。结论:妊娠和分娩是盆底功能障碍的危险因素,因为巨大儿、孕前肥胖和体重过度增加都与盆底功能障碍有关。建议患者在怀孕前和怀孕期间控制体重是很重要的。关键词:肥胖,妊娠期体重增加,体重指数,妊娠,盆底疾病。

Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of the Protein/Creatinine index (CPI) in a random urine sample, comparing it with 24-hour urine proteinuria, in patients with suspected pre-eclampsia. Methods: Cross-sectional study of a diagnostic test, random, comparative, observational, non-experimental, carried out between September 2018 - September 2019, at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Division of the Maracaibo University Hospital, Dr. Armando Castillo Plaza Maternity. 30 patients were selected. To determine the validity of the Protein/Creatinine index, the following were calculated: Sensitivity,Specificity, Positive Predictive Value, Negative Predictive Value, positive and the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve. The correlation between Protein/Creatinine index and 24-hour proteinuria was assessed using a two-way correlation plot and Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Results: The sensitivity of the Protein/Creatinine index was 90% and the specificity of 80%, with a Positive Predictive Value 90, and a Predictive Value negative 80, Positive Likelihood Ratio: 4,58, Negative Likelihood Ratio: 0.12. The Receiver Operating Characteristic curve indicated an area under the curve of 0.848, which means that there is an 84% probability that the Protein/Creatinine index was positive in proteinuria, with a cut-off point of 0.3. Conclusions: The Protein/Creatinine index is a reliable diagnostic tool that can easily be interpreted by trained health personnel, comparable to 24-hour proteinuria, with advantages such as saving time and easy interpretation. Keywords: Preeclampsia, Urine sample, Proteinuria, Creatinine.

Results: The sensitivity of the Protein/Creatinine index was 90% and the specificity of 80%, with a Positive Predictive Value 90, and a Predictive Value negative 80, Positive Likelihood Ratio: 4,58, Negative Likelihood Ratio: 0.12. The Receiver Operating Characteristic curve indicated an area under the curve of 0.848, which means that there is an 84% probability that the Protein/Creatinine index was positive in proteinuria, with a cut-off point of 0.3. Conclusions: The Protein/Creatinine index is a reliable diagnostic tool that can easily be interpreted by trained health personnel, comparable to 24-hour proteinuria, with advantages such as saving time and easy interpretation.

The presence of metastases in para-aortic nodes is one of the most important prognostic factors for endometrial cancer, and it may be the only site of metastatic disease, the probability of which in the absence of metastases in pelvic nodes is remote. We describe a case of a 69-year-old patient who consulted for postmenopausal bleeding of 3 months of evolution with a result of an endometrial biopsy that reported moderately differentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma. After carrying out extension studies, she was taken to staging surgery plus resection of the para-aortic lymph node plastron; with favorable postoperative evolution. Para-aortic lymph node metastasis was the only site of extrauterine disease, therefore this pattern of lymphatic dissemination without involvement of the pelvic nodes must be taken into account in order to determine the strategies for the management of patients. Keywords: Endometrial cancer, Paraaortic lymph Nodes, Pelvic lymph nodes, Isolated metastasis.

Objective: To evaluate the maternal and perinatal outcomes associated with COVID-19 during pregnancy, in women who attended the isolation service of the Hospital Central de San Cristóbal, in the period August 2020-July 2021. Methods: Retrospective or ex post facto, observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study with documentary design. It included a non-probabilistic sample of 30 patients admitted with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. Medical records were reviewed to identify maternal and perinatal evolution. Results: The frequency of COVID-19 was 0.5 cases per 100 pregnant women. All 30 patients had a confirmed diagnosis. There were 16 mild cases (53.3%), 5 moderate (16.7%) and 9 severe (30%). The predominant symptoms were cough and shortness of breath (100%), headache (96.7%) and fever (90%). There was an increase in ferritin in 100 % of the cases, D-dimer in 33.3 % and LDH in 90 %. Severe evolution was not associated with known risk factors. There were obstetric complications in 90 % of the patients, the most frequent were preterm birth (40%) and oligohydramnios (36.7 %). There were 6 maternal deaths (20.0 %). The evolution of the disease was unsatisfactory in 46.7 % of the patients, with 40 % of admission to the intensive care unit and 30 % of ventilatory support. The caesarean section rate was 86.7 %. 70 % of the RNs progressed satisfactorily. There were 7 perinatal deaths (23.3 %). Conclusion: COVID-19 is associated with adverse maternal and perinatal evolution. Keywords: COVID-19, Pregnancy, Maternal outcome, Perinatal outcome.
