Objective: To assess the support of large language models (LLMs) in generating clearer and more personalized medication instructions to enhance e-prescription.

Patients And Methods: We established patient-centered guidelines for adequate, acceptable, and personalized directions to enhance e-prescription. A dataset comprising 104 outpatient scenarios, with an array of medications, administration routes, and patient conditions, was developed following the Brazilian national e-prescribing standard.

Objectives: We carried out a longitudinal study to compare leukotriene B4 (LTB4), lipoxin A4 (LXA4), and resolvin D1 (RvD1) levels in pregnant women with risk factors for PE - who did (N = 11) or did not develop (N = 17) this clinical condition.

Design & Methods: For both groups, plasma levels of the lipid mediators were measured using immunoassays at 12-19, 20-29, and 30-34 weeks of gestation.

Results: LTB4 tended to be upregulated throughout gestation in women who developed PE.

Background: No treatment for COVID-19 is yet available; therefore, providing access to information about SARS-CoV-2, the transmission route of the virus, and ways to prevent the spread of infection is a critical sanitary measure worldwide. Serious games have advantages in the dissemination of reliable information during the pandemic; they can provide qualified content while offering interactivity to the user, and they have great reach over the internet.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a serious game with the purpose of providing science-based information on the prevention of COVID-19 and personal care during the pandemic while assessing players' knowledge about COVID-19-related topics.

Objective: Investigating D-Dimer/D-Di and plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1/PAI-1 levels throughout gestation in women with preeclampsia/PE risk factors.

Methods: D-Di and PAI-1 plasma levels were determined in 28 women at 12-19, 20-29, 30-34 and 35-40 weeks of gestation.

Results: D-Di was lower at 12-19 weeks and higher at 30-34 weeks in women who developed PE versus who did not develop it.

Purpose: to evaluate the differences between the maternal and perinatal outcomes of pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia, according to the classification as the severe/mild form, and the early/late onset form.

Methods: a retrospective study with 211 pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia, assessed at a university reference center from 2000 to 2010. The diagnosis and disease severity were based on the values of blood pressure, proteinuria, and clinical and laboratory findings.

Neurological findings in preeclampsia fulfill diagnostic criteria of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), which is related to cerebral autoregulation impairment associated with high blood pressure. In preeclampsia, PRES may occur without a significant increase in blood pressure. Our aim was to investigate the association between ophthalmic artery resistive index (OARI) and clinical evidence of PRES, defined as the presence of headache and blurred vision, in patients with severe preeclampsia.

Objective: Ductus venosus and inferior vena cava flow velocity was assessed in fetuses in isoimmunized pregnancies.

Methods: Examination of 61 fetuses aged 27 to 35 weeks from Rh-erythrocyte antigen isoimmunized women was carried out from June 1999 to June 2004. All fetuses were submitted to the examination of ductus venosus and inferior vena cava flow velocity.
