Background: Infections and sepsis are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in women during pregnancy and the post-pregnancy period. Using data from the 2017 WHO Global Maternal Sepsis Study, we explored the use of early warning systems (EWS) in women at risk of sepsis-related severe maternal outcomes.
Methods: On April 27, 2023, we searched the literature for EWS in clinical use or research in obstetric populations.
Chronic ethanol exposure induces an inflammatory response within the intestinal tract, compromising mucosal and epithelial integrity and leading to dysbiosis of the gut microbiome. However, the specific roles of the gut microbiota in mediating ethanol-induced effects, as well as their interactions with the immune system, remain poorly characterized. This study aimed to evaluate sex-based differences in fecal microbiota profiles induced by chronic alcohol consumption and to assess whether TLR4 is involved in these effects.

Few studies have investigated this alteration and its relationship to the severity of hypomimia.
Objective: The objective is to study the relationship between hypomimia and the facial recognition of basic emotions in subjects with Parkinson's disease.
Article Synopsis
- * A study utilizing data from the Global Maternal Sepsis Study (GLOSS) included 408 hospitals across 43 LMICs and found that the highest proportion of severe maternal outcomes (SMOs) was in Africa (19.6%), followed by other regions with lower percentages.
- * Women in Africa face significantly higher odds of experiencing SMOs compared to those in the Americas and Southeast Asia, with Africa and Southeast Asia also having the highest case fatality rates, indicating urgent need for preventive measures in these areas.
