Introduction: The benefit of prenatal steroids in fetal lung maturation is well established, but their effect on the kidney has not been studied in detail in humans. Animal models have shown an increase in the expression of Na+/H+ exchangers, Na+-K+-ATPase pumps and aquaporin-1. This study aims to assess the effect of prenatal steroids on the maturation of renal tubules in preterms.

Case Presentation: In this case study, we discuss an unusual presentation of hyperthyroidism in a 35-year-old female with Chiari type 1 malformation.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate whether there is a link between SARS-CoV-2 serologic status and the risk of preeclampsia in immunologically naive pregnant patients.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective study involving 440 pregnant patients and found that being seropositive for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies did not correlate with higher rates of preeclampsia.
- The main factor associated with developing preeclampsia was a previous history of preeclampsia, highlighting the need for further research on infection timing and preeclampsia risk.
