Continuous glucose monitoring in pregnant women with pregestational type 2 diabetes: a narrative review.

Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in pregnancy is associated with poor perinatal outcomes; however, there are limited data on outcomes of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use in this population. We reviewed the literature on studies reporting CGM outcomes in pregnant women with T2DM. We aimed to synthesise in a narrative review, the effects of CGM on glycaemic and perinatal outcomes as well as current research gaps.

Metanephrine mirage: distinguishing the phaeocopies, a case report and literature review.

Background: We present one of only seven reported cases of a catecholamine-secreting adrenal neuroblastoma in an adult. The case is used as a platform to discuss key biochemical, genomic and imaging considerations that are central to the successful, targeted management of catecholamine-secreting adrenal tumours.

Case Presentation: A 63-year-old male was urgently reviewed at a tertiary hospital endocrinology outpatient clinic for a 12 cm right-sided adrenal incidentaloma.

Medical negligence under pressure: obligations of clinicians and healthcare services in the setting of resource limitations.

Healthcare provision takes place in a variety of contexts, with variations of resources available to practitioners and their patients. Effects from the COVID-19 pandemic superimposed on existing system demands have driven increasing concern about resource limitations, particularly in rural and remote settings. This article explores the legal liability of medical practitioners and healthcare services with respect to actions in negligence arising from harm to patients suffered, either partly or wholly, as a result of resource limitations.

Antenatal health and perinatal outcomes of Pacific Islander women in Australia with and without gestational diabetes: A ten-year retrospective cohort study.

Background: Pacific Islander (PI) women in Australia have an increased risk of gestational diabetes (GDM); however, their perinatal outcomes are poorly understood.

Aim: The aim was to determine the maternal characteristics and perinatal outcomes of PI women with and without GDM compared to Australian/European (AE)-born women.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of perinatal outcomes of singleton deliveries >20 weeks' gestation between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2020 was conducted at a tertiary provider (Melbourne, Australia).
