Article Synopsis
- Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) might be influenced by the amount of greenness in residential areas, as prior research indicates that rural and urban settings affect gut microbiota diversity, which in turn may relate to GDM risk.
- *In a study of 269 pregnant women, findings suggested that higher levels of vegetation (measured by NDVI) were associated with lower odds and levels of glucose, although results weren't statistically significant.
- *The research did not find strong evidence to support that gut microbiome diversity mediates the relationship between residential greenness and GDM or glucose levels.
Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a condition in which women without diabetes are diagnosed with glucose intolerance during pregnancy, typically in the second or third trimester. Early diagnosis, along with a better understanding of its pathophysiology during the first trimester of pregnancy, may be effective in reducing incidence and associated short-term and long-term morbidities.
Design: We comprehensively profiled the gut microbiome, metabolome, inflammatory cytokines, nutrition and clinical records of 394 women during the first trimester of pregnancy, before GDM diagnosis.
Objective: To determine if vaginal ultrasound for cervical length measurement induces the release of vaginal fetal fibronectin (fFN), leading to a false-positive fFN test.
Methods: Participants included women with singleton pregnancies at 24-34 weeks' gestation who presented with uterine contractions without bleeding or membrane rupture. Women who had had intercourse or underwent pelvic examination less than 24 h previously were excluded.
