Women's views about online communities for gestational diabetes mellitus: A qualitative interview study.

Problem And Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common medical complication of pregnancy, and the emerging evidence demonstrates how GDM online communities have a positive impact on promoting self-management and improving outcomes. Further analysis of such groups can increase understanding of how peer support in GDM online communities is enabled and enacted.

Aim: To examine women's experiences of GDM online communities on Facebook, their motivations for participation, and perceptions of dynamics within the community.

Metabolic Stress expands Polyfunctional, Proinflammatory Th cells in Psoriatic Arthritis, where there is IL-23-independent IL-17 production.

Objective: Genetic associations and blockade of the interleukin-23/IL-17 axis with monoclonal antibodies support a role for this pathway in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). This study examines the requirement of IL-23 for IL-17 production, and the role of the metabolic microenvironment in the expansion of Th-derived cells in PsA.

Methods: PsA patient synovial fluid or peripheral blood Th cell frequencies were evaluated by flow cytometry using CCR6, CD161 and T-bet as phenotypic markers, and the cytokines IFN-γ, GM-CSF and IL-17 assessed by flow cytometry and ELISA.
