Implementing telemedicine for the care of women with gestational diabetes mellitus in a rural hospital: an observational retrospective study.

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can adversely impact pregnancy outcomes. LGA is a common complication of GDM. Telemedicine is increasingly used for the follow-up of chronic diseases.

Immunonutrition, Metabolism, and Programmed Cell Death in Lung Cancer: Translating Bench to Bedside.

Lung cancer presents significant therapeutic challenges, motivating the exploration of novel treatment strategies. Programmed cell death (PCD) mechanisms, encompassing apoptosis, autophagy, and programmed necrosis, are pivotal in lung cancer pathogenesis and the treatment response. Dysregulation of these pathways contributes to tumor progression and therapy resistance.

Validation of the prevalence to incidence conversion method for healthcare associated infections in long-term care facilities.

Introduction: Residents of long-term care facilities (LTCFs) are a population at high risk of developing severe healthcare associated infections (HAIs). In the assessment of HAIs in acute-care hospitals, selection bias can occur due to cases being over-represented: patients developing HAIs usually have longer lengths of stays compared to controls, and therefore have an increased probability of being sampled in PPS, leading to an overestimation of HAI prevalence. Our hypothesis was that in LTCFs, the opposite may occur: residents developing HAIs either may have a greater chance of being transferred to acute-care facilities or of dying, and therefore could be under-represented in PPS, leading to an underestimation of HAI prevalence.

Clinical and epidemiological features of mpox in a Brazilian reference center for HIV and sexually transmitted infections: A cross-sectional study.

Background: The 2022 mpox outbreak has affected disproportionately people living with HIV (PLWH) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) users.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate factors associated with laboratory diagnosis of mpox among suspected cases, and access differences between PrEP users and PLWH with confirmed diagnostic.

Results: 394 mpox suspected cases were analyzed, 309 (78.

The c.4096+1G>A Is a Founder Variant Which Originated in Ancient Times.

Approximately 30-50% of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) is due to the presence of germline pathogenic variants in the (OMIM 113705) and (OMIM 600185) onco-suppressor genes, which are involved in DNA damage response. Women who carry pathogenic variants are particularly likely to develop breast cancer (BC) and ovarian cancer (OC), with a 45-79 percent and 39-48 percent chance, respectively. The c.
