Objectives: To prospectively validate the diagnostic performance of a non-invasive point-of-care tool (Rapid IAI System), including vaginal alpha-fetoprotein and interleukin-6, to predict the occurrence of intra-amniotic inflammation in a Spanish cohort of patients admitted with a diagnosis of preterm labor and intact membranes.
Methods: From 2017 to 2022, we prospectively evaluated a cohort of pregnant women diagnosed with preterm labor and intact membranes admitted below 34+0 weeks who underwent amniocentesis to rule-in/out intra-amniotic infection and/or inflammation. Vaginal sampling was performed at the time of amniocentesis or within 24-48 h.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the seasonal movement strategies of sperm whales in deep pelagic ecosystems, using seven years of passive acoustic data to analyze their foraging behavior.
- The findings reveal that sperm whales exhibit significant seasonal presence and are likely engaging in "seasonal resource-tracking migration" to follow resource availability along latitudinal gradients.
- This research enhances our understanding of the behavioral ecology of sperm whales and highlights the importance of seasonal movements in their survival in the deep sea.
The Pattern Electroretinogram (PERG) is an essential tool in ophthalmic electrophysiology, providing an objective assessment of the central retinal function. It quantifies the activity of cells in the macula and the ganglion cells of the retina, assisting in the differentiation of macular and optic nerve conditions. In this study, we present the IOBA-PERG dataset, an extensive collection of 1354 transient PERG responses accessible on the PhysioNet repository.

We used GPS and accelerometer data from women residing in Donostia-San Sebastian and Barcelona. Daily visits to NOS were associated with an increase of circa 8 min of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy.

In this retrospective, single-center analysis we evaluated infectious complications after BCMA-targeted chimeric-antigen-receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T), bispecific-antibodies (BsAb) and antibody-drug-conjugates (ADC). The primary endpoint was severe (grade ≥3) infection incidence.
