Management of suspected large for gestational age (LGA) fetuses remains unclear because ultrasound-estimated fetal weight (EFW) is not accurate. This was a systematic review of observational studies on fetal soft tissues measurements used alone or in combination to create a new EFW formula, to improve the screening for LGA fetuses. Studies were scored using a predefined set of independently agreed methodological criteria and an overall quality score was assigned for study design, statistical analysis, and reporting methods.

- Post-coronavirus disease condition (PCC) continues to impact many people, but there's a lack of reliable diagnostic biomarkers to differentiate it from recovery after acute COVID-19.
- A study compared biomarkers between two groups: people with PCC and those who recovered from COVID-19 within three months, both consisting of 85 individuals.
- The results showed PCC individuals had significant changes in 49 out of 167 markers, and a specific panel of four biomarkers could distinguish PCC from recovery with over 88% accuracy.
