Title: The association between sexual function, quality of marital relationship and associated
factors in women with a history of ectopic pregnancy: A cross-sectional study in Iran
Version: 1 Date: 05 Jul 2023
Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors
The study is " Sexual function and the quality of marital relationship in women with a history of
ectopic pregnancy: A cross-sectional study in Iran". While the study appears to be reasonably
well conducted, the paper would benefit from careful revision and additional study outcomes.
I have the following specific suggestions.
1(The definition of sexual function in the first introduction, which is attributed to the World
Health Organization, is related to sexual health, not sexual function, please correct it.
2)In the introduction, the possible reasons for the effect of ectopic pregnancy on these two
variables will be discussed, perhaps the reason why such a study has not been done so far is the
lack of relationship in theory, and the purpose of this study will be explained.
3)Study Design Described insufficiently. Please describe the study population and how women
recruited for this study. How many women were excluded or did not meet inclusion criteria?
Did any women decline participation?
4)In your study, women with a history of 2 and 3 ectopic pregnancies were included. Were
women with a history of ectopic pregnancy whose fallopian tube was damaged on one side
controlled as a confounder?
5)One of the preconditions of regression is the normality of the data distribution. This statistical
method is not suitable in cases where the distribution of the variable is not normal. Have you
checked the preconditions of the regression models? It is better to use data normality methods
such as log, square, root and... for normality and then use regression model.
6)Is your purpose of performing a regression model to predict or determine the relationship? If it
is prediction, with this number of samples, the power of the study is very low, and if the purpose
is to determine the relationship, then the way of reporting the regression result is completely
wrong.
7)The results of the study are not reported according to the purpose of the study
8)The strengths and limitations of the study should have been outlined and its implications for
day to day clinical practice and future research should have been explored.

Reviewer's report:
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to review this article. Good revise have been made in
the new version, but it still needs some changes.
Title:
Needs some revision such as “ ...relationsip and associated  factors in women...”. This is a
suggestion.
Abstract:
The conclusion is general and not focused on women with a history of ectopic pregnancy.
Keywords: Please remove “Sexual Dysfunction”
Introduction:
Please remove fotenote “United States of America “
Discussion:
In many cases, you have used the justification that "it is different in different cultures ...." while
you should address the nature and cause of the impact of different factors.

Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors
The organization of this article is satisfactory. The instruction section, literature section, and
methods are satisfying. The authors have improved the literature section to enhance the quality
of this research. The results section of the paper presents a good view of the study.  I thank the
authors of the article for applying the suggested comments, but the paper would benefit from
careful revision and additional study outcomes. I have the following specific suggestions.
1) Why didn't you use newer definitions in the introduction, for example, sexual response cycle
includes sexual desire.
2) In the introduction, in the first paragraph, in the last few sentences, it is better to report a
connection with the next paragraph.
3) The objectives of the study have not been properly defined to understand whether the results
were based on the objectives or not.
4) What is the definition of ectopic pregnancy?  How was this confirmed (e.g., by patient report
or by review of medical records)?
5) Was it not possible to separate the results based on people who came for diagnosis and women
who came for treatment?
6) What is the reason for choosing the keyword sexual dysfunction?
7) For sexual function, according to the cutoff, determine how many percent have a score below
26.5.
Title: Extra-legal abortion and post-abortion care knowledge, attitudes, and practices among
obstetrician-gynecologist clinicians and medical residents in San José, Costa Rica: A qualitative
study
Version: 1 Date: 06 Jul 2023
Reviewer's report:
There is a major flow in the study - authors refer to abortion done with pills and outside of
the clinical settings as a priori as "unsafe". This is not factually true, and also contrary to 2022
WHO recommendation that documents self-care and self-management options as equally safe.
So please revise: \
line 16 - "of the presence of unsafe abortion, and particularly, medication abortion - incorrect."
Medication abortion is not unsafe.
The lines are not numerated properly, they keep on repeating. Change please the numbers.
Please search for all sentences with "unsafe abortion" and revise
and in the text: line2, 5, 17, 19, and subsequent.

Reviewer:  Deborah L. Billings
Reviewer's report:
The authors have addressed all of my concerns and questions. I appreciate the depth of their
responses.  There was one comment where the authors posed a question to me.  The comment
is below, followed by my response.
What measures were taken to ensure confidentiality when using the online calendar tool? We
are  unsure what confidentiality measures you are referring to. Participants did not share any
personal  information when scheduling interviews, but rather selected a date and time after which
they were  emailed a link and calendar invite to conference software.
LINE 147 states, "Participants scheduled interviews using an online calendar tool." I think
adding the text you note above would be helpful to readers who might be concerned about
confidentiality, clarifying that names and other personal information were not shared when
scheduling (although emails could be considered as personal information).
SUGGESTED REVISION.
Participants scheduled interviews using an online calendar tool. Participants did not share any
personal  information when scheduling interviews, but rather selected a date and time after which
they were  emailed a link and calendar invite to conference software.

Version: 1 Date: 16 Jun 2023
Reviewer:  Marisen Mwale
Reviewer's report:
The  article covers one major public health challenge in Africa, that of maternal health.  In
particular the public health and clinical concern associated with puerperal sepsis in Mekelle,
Ethiopia is presented in line with major determinants. The paper is insightful and could
contribute to the wider body of knowledge for clinical practice and preventative public health
interventions for Africa and sub-Saharan Africa. However some minor revisions could be made
to improve the quality of the paper as follows:
Introduction
1. In their first paragraph of the background section, authors could include as preamble some
WHO provisions, targets, frameworks and guidelines for championing maternal health in
general. Perhaps Sustainable Development Goal targets for prevention of pregnancy related
maternal deaths and morbidity could also be specified to put into perspective the severity of the
challenge especially for Africa and the associate need for interventions and related deliberate
policy frameworks for such.
Methods
1. In their methods, specifically the sampling technique and procedure; authors could highlight
why they opted to sample cases through consecutive sampling and controls through systematic
sampling. What makes for the difference in sampling approach?
2. The other methodological question that authors would wish to clarify perhaps is the issue
on potential confounders.  Apart from mentioning in their limitations  that socioeconomic and
educational status were not accounted for, are there any other potential confounders that could
constrain the pathway (risk-factor/outcome pathway)?

Reviewer's report:
Dear authors,
I read with great interest the manuscript, which falls within the aim of this Journal. In my honest
opinion, the topic is interesting enough to attract the readers’ attention. Nevertheless, authors
should clarify some points and improve the discussion, as suggested below. Authors should
consider the following recommendations:
In my opinion you have to refer  to the updated literature in case of preeclampsia or postpartum
hemorrhage. or in case of  other infection as covid or zika.
Its also important to refer if the woman used Contrast Agents during Pregnancy and if she
perform a water birth delivery that can be helfull to feel less pain but can increase sometimes
risk on increased peripartum infections.
I suggest you to read and cite these articles:

Reviewer:  Dubravko Habek
Reviewer's report:
The presenters presented the given objectives of the work in an adequate way, with excellent
graphic, pictorial and numerical representations, and comments in the components of the article,
along with a discussion of similar research and citations of adequate fresh literature.
In conclusion authors emphazises: the determinants of puerperal sepsis in this study were rural
residence, not having antenatal care, prolonged duration of rupture of membrane, prolonged
duration of labor, frequent number of vaginal examination, cesarean section and not having
postnatal care. It is recommended that strengthening provision of health education on danger
signs of pregnancy, parthograph utilization and avoiding of frequent vaginal examinations. In
this form, I have no objections to the components of the work, and I suggest it for publication
in a journal in this form.

Reviewer's report:
I would like to thank the authors for their hard work invested in the creation of this article, it is
an interesting and important subject as it is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality.
I have minor remarks.
Introduction
1. Some of the information mentioned are refereed to references which are published before
more than 30 years. (references 2 & 6)
I suggest to cite:
Statements on maternal sepsis by WHO 2017
RCOG guideline bacterial sepsis following pregnancy 2012.
2. Line 60: in the African governments (I think you should delete in).
3. The abbreviation for puerperal sepsis in line 69 should be in line 66 as puerperal sepsis is
first mentioned there.
4. Line 118 please add the whole words not just the abbreviation PNC.
Data processing and Analysis
Line 182: why have you set p value to 0.25?
Line 182,183: I think you should use more specific statistical terms rather than confusing ones.
You are using a binary logistic regression as the dependent variable is dichotomous both in the
first step where you chose the variables or the second step which should be named multiple
logistic regression rather than using the “multivariate or multi variable” to avoid the confusion
with the multivariate analysis of variance a complete different set of analysis not applicable here.
The same note is applicable for the abstract.
Line 186: please add the value of multicollinearity regarding tolerance
In table 5
It is better to replace multivariable with multiple

Dear authors,
a. The authors did the recommended revisions required in the previous round
b.  Introduction: This section requires the following rearrangement
1. Move the first 3 paragraphs after line 109
2. Move the paragraph (lines 64-66) after  line 71

4. line 58: Do you mean African countries? Or maternal health services applied by African
governments? Please use the correct term accordingly
c. Results
1. of the 444 total sample size, you mentioned that 431 participants were reviewed without
explaining the missing 11 participants
2. Table 4: some numbers in this table are not consistent with percentages
d. References: more updated references are required
e. Conclusion: how you concluded that the number of vaginal examinations per se and not the
lack of the recommended hygiene procedures of vaginal examination is a risk factor for puerperal
sepsis?

Title: Anti-Alpha-Amino-3-Hydroxy-5-Methyl-4-Isoxazolepropionic Acid Receptor
Encephalitis Developed After Ovarian Cancer Cytoreduction Surgery: A Case Report and
Literature Review
Version: 0 Date: 18 Aug 2023
Reviewer:  Tomoko Komagamine
Reviewer's report:
Comments to the Authors
The authors present the case report of the anti-AMPAR encephalitis developed right after the
primary cytoreduction of a patient with ovarian cancer, and suggest algorithm of the examination
for post operative patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms. Because tumor resection is one of
a treatment for autoimmune encephalitis, we physicians often overlook and delay in response
for encephalitis developed right after operation. It is highly valuable to share knowledge that
surgical manipulation could be a trigger of autoimmune encephalitis.
The authors also found that phenotype and severity of anti-AMPAR encephalitis depended
on types of coexisting tumors. I agree the information will be important for establishing
consensus on the timing of the second-, third-line treatment in the future. There is no consensus
for treatment of autoimmune encephalitis except pediatric NMDAR antibody encephalitis
(Nosadini M et al., Neurol Neuroimmunol Neuroinflamm 2021; 8:e1052. Doi:10.1212/
NXI.0000000000001052). Clinicians wonder how long they should wait for next line treatment,
and manage to treat low-responders with empirical case-by-case basis and a few expert
opinions. (Titulaer MJ et al., Lancet neurol 2013;12:157-165; Linnoila JJ et al., Semin Neurol
2014;34:458-466; Nosadini M et al., JAMA Neurol 2021;78: 1333-1344.).
Minor points;
1. The reference list is incomplete. Please review and complete the reference list.
2. It would be helpful to show the numbers (rates) of patients with respiratory distress (requiring
ventilatory support) in Table 1. I suggest adding a subcategory row of 'respiratory distress' in
‘autonomic dysfunction’.

I congratulate the authors for this interesting case report. However I would recommend adding
a comment under discussion to other causes of neurological disorders related to ovarian cancer
such as brain metastases which although rare are an issue to remember when neurological

Reviewer:  Giorgio Bogani
Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the Manuscript titled " Anti-Alpha-Amino-3-Hydroxy-5-Methyl-4-
Isoxazolepropionic Acid Receptor Encephalitis Developed After Ovarian Cancer Cytoreduction
Surgery: A Case Report and Literature Review”, topic interesting enough to attract readers'
attention.
Although the manuscript can be considered already of good quality, I would suggest following
recommendations:
- I suggest a round of language revision, in order to correct few typos and improve readability.
- Considering the clinical case and the topic analyzed, the authors could extend and improve the
discussion by evaluating and citing current evidence about possible target therapeutic strategies
for patients with ovarian cancer.  I would be glad if the authors discuss this important point,
referring to PMID: 37314974 and 27794568.
Because of these reasons, the article should be revised and completed. Considering all these
points, I think it could be of interest to the readers and, in my opinion, it deserves the priority
to be published after minor revisions.
