Pre‐Pregnancy Diet and/or Physical Activity Interventions for the Prevention of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with short‐ and long‐term adverse health outcomes for women and their infants. Antenatal diet and/or physical activity interventions have not been effective at preventing GDM, and currently, it is not clear whether intervening similarly prior to pregnancy is beneficial.

Risk factors associated with progression from pre‐eclampsia to eclampsia: A prospective cohort study and population‐wide data analysis

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 104, Issue 8, Page 1487-1495, August 2025.
Younger maternal age and lower socioeconomic status emerged as key risk factors for progression from pre‐eclampsia to eclampsia in two low‐ and middle‐income countries (Uganda and Ecuador), challenging the traditional focus on disease severity alone. This suggests a need to broaden risk assessment criteria.

Dorsal Genital Nerve Stimulation as an Adjunctive Therapy to Control Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity After Spinal Cord Injury

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
People with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience bladder overactivity, which can cause incontinence. Dorsal genital nerve stimulation (DGNS) can suppress overactivity, providing a longer duration to reach a toilet. People with SCI trialed home‐based DGNS for 8 weeks. DGNS was effective in the laboratory, and participants found home‐based DGNS acceptable.

Sensitivity of the dipstick in detecting bacteremic urinary tract infections in elderly hospitalized patients. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The sensitivity of the dipstick in elderly patients with a suspected urinary tract infection (UTI) is unclear because of the inclusion of patients with urine contamination or asymptomatic bacteriuria in previous studies.We selected consecutive patients ...

Accuracy of Inflammatory Biomarkers for Ruling out Invasive Bacterial Infections in Young Febrile Infants

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of procalcitonin (PCT), C‐reactive protein (CRP) and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) to rule out invasive bacterial infections (IBI) in well‐appearing febrile infants aged ≤ 60 days. Methods Multicentre study of infants ≤ 60 days with fever without source.

Developments in albuminuria testing: A key biomarker for detection, prognosis and surveillance of kidney and cardiovascular disease—A practical update for clinicians

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Albuminuria, the abnormal presence of albumin in urine, is a key marker of kidney damage and a strong predictor of kidney and cardiovascular outcomes. Its clinical significance has evolved from early historical observations to its current role in chronic kidney disease (CKD) detection, risk stratification and treatment monitoring.

How sensitive are dipstick urinalysis and microscopy in making diagnosis of urinary tract infection in children?

International Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2019
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common reason for referral to the emergency department (ED) especially in unwell infants. Upper UTIs are particularly at risk of significant complications later in life.

Measuring Direct Oral Anticoagulant (DOAC) Levels: Applications, Limitations, and Future Directions

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction There are important challenges with the measurement and interpretation of direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) anticoagulant effect including a lack of therapeutic ranges, inaccuracy of routinely available coagulation assays, lack of established thresholds for clinically significant effect, and uncertainty about how to apply the ...
