Article Synopsis
- Mobile health apps are becoming popular, but few have utilized tablet-based technology in managing heart failure (HF) effectively.
- A study compared a traditional telephone-based HF management program to one that included remote monitoring via a tablet, tracking various health metrics over 90 days.
- The results showed no significant difference in hospitalization days between the two approaches, suggesting that adding tablet monitoring may not be beneficial, though the study's limitations could affect the findings.
Background: Screening for maternal anogenital Group B streptococci (GBS) colonization in pregnancy with initiation of intravenous intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis as indicated has led to a significant reduction in the incidence of neonatal GBS infection. This study aims to evaluate the agreement between vaginal-perianal or vaginal-perineal culture and the more typically used vaginal-rectal culture for screening for maternal anogenital GBS colonization in the third trimester of pregnancy.
Methods: Eligible English-language studies published until January 2020 were retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and ClinicalTrials.
Background: Overweight and obese women with gestational diabetes mellitus are at increased risk for adverse perinatal outcomes, and they are also more likely to have suboptimal glycemic control. However, there is a paucity of data evaluating whether lower glycemic targets could improve outcomes.
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of intensive glycemic control in overweight and obese women with gestational diabetes mellitus.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of severe insulin resistance (insulin requirements ≥2 units/kg) at delivery and the relationship between severe insulin resistance, glycemic control, and adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women with type-2 diabetes mellitus.
Study Design: This is a retrospective cohort study of women with type-2 diabetes mellitus who delivered between January 2015 and December 2017 at a tertiary academic medical center. Maternal demographic information, self-monitored blood sugars, and insulin doses were abstracted from the medical record.
Ambient temperature and algal prey type affect essential fatty acid incorporation and trophic upgrading in a herbivorous marine copepod.

Article Synopsis
- Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are essential fatty acids vital for marine life, and rising ocean temperatures affect their transfer through the food chain.
- A study using laboratory-reared copepodites evaluated how different temperatures (6°C, 12°C, and increased stress) and types of prey (dinoflagellates vs. diatoms) influenced EFA incorporation and growth efficiency.
- Results indicated that warmer temperatures generally enhance EPA and DHA ingestion in copepodites, though diatoms affected DHA differently; copepodites can synthesize EPA even when dietary levels are low, suggesting resilience in marine food webs under changing conditions.
