Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to determine if combining intensive medical nutrition therapy (MNT) with metformin could prevent gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in high-risk Mexican women.
- An open-label randomized clinical trial included women with multiple GDM risk factors, assigning them to either receive MNT with metformin or MNT alone before 15 weeks of pregnancy.
- Results showed no significant difference in GDM incidence between the two groups, indicating that adding metformin to MNT does not provide additional benefits for preventing GDM in this population.
The primary aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) using two different cut-off levels for TSH values (≥2.5 mIU/L versus ≥4.1 mIU/L).

- - The study investigated the prevalence of thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) in 203 women who experienced recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), finding a prevalence rate of 14.8% for TAI overall.
- - Women with TAI showed significantly higher levels of thyrotropin (TSH) compared to those without TAI, but no notable differences were found in age, number of pregnancies, or causes of RPL between TAI-positive and TAI-negative women.
- - Among the various causes of RPL, women with endocrine issues had the highest prevalence of TAI, with 28% showing positive markers for the condition.
Background: Recent literature suggests that hypotonic fluids increase the risk of hospital-acquired hyponatraemia; despite this, hypotonic fluids are widely used.
Objectives: To compare the change in serum sodium following the use of hypotonic (0.3% saline, 0.
