Article Synopsis
  • - Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP) affects 10% of pregnancies globally and includes conditions like chronic hypertension and preeclampsia, leading to serious health risks for both mothers and infants.
  • - A study examining brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (BAFMD) showed that women with HDP had significantly lower BAFMD compared to normotensive pregnant and nonpregnant women, though no major differences were found between HDP subgroups.
  • - While BAFMD decreased with gestational age, it proved to be a poor indicator for HDP, with body mass index (BMI) identified as a better predictor for the condition.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores the use of electrocardiograms (ECGs) for sex verification in a 36-year-old woman with primary amenorrhea, employing the Ogunlade Sex Determination Electrocardiographic Score to reveal a masculine pattern.
  • - Despite her feminine physical appearance, further investigations including ultrasonography and karyotyping confirmed the patient’s male sex, revealing the presence of undescended testes and an XY chromosomal makeup.
  • - The findings suggest that ECGs can serve as a cost-effective and non-invasive method for determining biological sex in similar medical cases.

Background: Metabolic risk factors associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) include Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity and dyslipidaemia. Prevention or management of these risk factors with glycaemic control, weight reduction and low serum lipid levels respectively have been reported to reduce the risk of NAFLD or slow its progression. Since ultrasound (USS) is a safe and reliable method of identifying fatty changes in the liver, this study was done to determine the relationship between glycaemic control and ultrasound diagnosed NAFLD in T2DM.
