Introduction: Reports in adults indicate that Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and vaccination trigger the expression of autoimmune disease such as Graves' disease, but the incidence of new onset Graves' disease and its temporal relationship to the peaks of COVID-19 cases in children are unclear.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of children and adolescents with new-onset Graves' disease diagnosed between September 2017 and August 2022, N=156, mean age of 12.5 ± 4 year (y), with a range of 2.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of transvaginal ultrasound measurements of cervical length and the modified Bishop score in assessing cervical readiness for labor induction in pregnant women.
- Involving 72 nulliparous women, participants were randomly assigned to either the ultrasound or Bishop score group to evaluate cervical 'ripeness' based on specific criteria.
- The results showed no significant differences in the mode of delivery, amount of prostaglandins used, or labor intervals between the two groups, indicating both methods are similarly effective for preinduction assessment.
Background: Assessing for significant proteinuria in pregnancy (SPIP) stands as a key indicator for diagnosing preeclampsia. However, the initial method typically employed for this assessment, the urine dipstick test, often yields inaccurate results. While a 24-h urine collection is considered the most reliable test, its implementation can lead to delays in diagnosis, potentially affecting both maternal and fetal well-being.

The study's aim was to determine the safety and efficacy of virtual versus in-office pump initiation in pediatric type 1 diabetes.
Research Design And Methods: A longitudinal retrospective study of 112 subjects: 65% (n=73), ages 11.
