Background: The treatment for recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) has been addressed in international guidelines. However, limited studies have investigated the risk factors associated with pregnancy and live birth outcomes in patients with RPL after treatment. The objective of this study was to offer a comprehensive assessment of the risk factors for pregnancy loss in patients with a history of RPL following therapeutic interventions.

- Deprescribing is essential for older adults, focusing on safe medication management, and effective communication is critical in this process.
- An international group of 14 experts created a framework to analyze how communication is utilized in deprescribing, identifying the need for more comprehensive approaches beyond just clinician-patient interactions.
- The research highlights missed opportunities for enhancing deprescribing communication at the community level and calls for further studies to determine the most effective communication strategies and styles for this process.
Here, we report the synthesis of a family of chiral ZnL tetrahedral cages by subcomponent self-assembly. These cages contain a flexible trialdehyde subcomponent that allows them to adopt stereochemically distinct configurations. The incorporation of enantiopure 1-phenylethylamine produced Δ and Λ enantiopure cages, in contrast to the racemates that resulted from the incorporation of achiral 4-methoxyaniline.

Article Synopsis
- - Preterm birth (PTB) is a significant issue, accounting for around 35% of neonatal deaths, and cervical insufficiency (CI) often leads to PTB, necessitating cervical cerclage to prevent early delivery.
- - A study involving 69 women who underwent cervical cerclage and uterine electromyography (uEMG) revealed that PTB risk was linked to past PTB history and contraction frequency, with uEMG showing a strong predictive value (AUC of 0.766) for determining PTB risk after cerclage.
- - The findings suggest that uEMG can serve as an effective method for predicting PTB in patients after cervical cerclage by monitoring contraction frequencies
Objective: VECs play a crucial role in regulating the function of neutrophils, which is essential for immune responses and inflammation. As stretch-sensitive cells, VECs sense mechanical stretch through surface mechanoreceptors, converting external mechanical stimuli into biochemical signals. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of neutrophil behavior by stretched VECs.
