Foetal growth restriction (FGR) is associated with neonatal morbidity, suboptimal neurodevelopmental outcomes and chronic diseases. Successful pregnancies of women with recurrent mid-trimester pregnancy losses may still be at risk of FGR and small for gestational age (SGA) outcomes. This study aimed to investigate whether patients with recurrent mid-trimester pregnancy losses who undergo transabdominal cerclage (TAC) are at an increased risk of FGR.

In this secondary report of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) we aimed to evaluate whether the 5-year migration, inducible displacement, and the clinical outcome of the ATTUNE components were comparable to those of the LCS.

Even though consensus has been reached regarding its existence, open questions remain concerning the HPB's specific applicability and potential regarding hot carrier solar cell (HCSC) applications. We present a full investigation using ensemble Monte Carlo simulations of the HPB effect in metal halide perovskites (MHP).

- Prophylaxis strategies for Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD) in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) often include a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) combined with either methotrexate (MTX) or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF).
- A study analyzing data from 13,699 patients revealed that MTX-based prophylaxis was linked to lower overall mortality and non-relapse mortality compared to MMF, while showing no significant impact on relapse rates or relapse-free survival.
- Overall, MTX in combination with CNI was associated with better survival outcomes and a lower risk of severe acute GVHD compared to MMF.
Aims: We aimed to investigate the association between the burden of modifiable lifestyle risk factors (modLRF) with high-sensitivity cardiac troponins T and I (hsTnT/I) and clinical outcomes in a contemporary cohort.
Methods: Patients undergoing coronary angiography with available hsTnT/I concentrations and information about modLRF were included in the current single-centre study. The modLRF investigated were overweight, lack of physical activity, poor adherence to a Mediterranean diet and current smoking.
