The placenta is a vital organ that regulates nutrient supply to the developing embryo during gestation. In mice, the placenta is composed of trophoblast lineage and mesodermal derivatives, which merge through the chorioallantoic fusion process in a critical event for the progression of placenta development. The trophoblast lineage is derived from self-renewing, multipotent cells known as mouse trophoblast stem cells (mTSCs).

- The study aimed to evaluate how feasible respiratory oscillometry (RO) is for asthma diagnosis in schoolchildren and its agreement with spirometry results.
- Both tests were conducted on 154 children aged 6 to 14, assessing factors like test validity, execution time, and difficulty.
- While RO needed fewer attempts and less time than spirometry, their results showed low concordance, raising questions about RO's reliability as a standalone diagnostic tool.
To determine whether treatment with moderate-high dose norepinephrine is a contributory cause increasing the risk of pressure ulcer development in critical postoperative, mechanically ventilated, hyperglycemic patients. A pilot clinical cohort study was conducted in a PACU in a tertiary hospital. A convenience sample of 16 hyperglycemic patients undergoing mechanical ventilation with at least 24 hours' stay in the PACU were divided into two groups of eight according to dosage of norepinephrine infusion at any moment during the days monitored.

Methods: Mail survey posted to the primary care pediatricians of Castilla-León (Spain) exploring: willingness to act against obesity, utility of therapies and preventive strategies, barriers found in treating obese patients, most needed tools for treating obesity, autoefficacy, and support to an obese children management programme in primary care.
Results: There was a broad consensus in seeing obesity as an important health problem that demands action from pediatricians.
