Gestational weight gain is an important risk factor for excessive fetal growth.

Objective: To estimate the odds ratio of prepregnant body mass index (BMI), gestational weight gain (GWG), and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) for excessive fetal growth, which we define as large for gestational age (LGA).

Methods: We included 16,297 women who delivered a live-born singleton baby at term. We fit logistic regressions to estimate the odds ratios of variables, including maternal age, parity, prepregnant BMI ≥23, GWG ≥15 kg, and GDM, for LGA.

A method for restoring facially inclined implants with a screw-retained restoration.

Cement-retained implant restorations have 2 major disadvantages: they have a submucosal cement line and the prosthesis is difficult to retrieve. Although a screw-retained implant restoration negates both of these concerns, anatomic limitations can hinder its use. This article describes a simple technique for restoring a buccally inclined dental implant with a screw-retained restoration.

Nanoporous platinum thin films synthesized by electrochemical dealloying for nonenzymatic glucose detection.

Nanoporous Pt thin films were prepared by simultaneous deposition of Pt and Si and subsequent dealloying of Si out of the Pt(x)Si(1-x) films. The x values were easily controlled in the range of 0.10 to 0.
