Article Synopsis
- Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) might be influenced by the amount of greenness in residential areas, as prior research indicates that rural and urban settings affect gut microbiota diversity, which in turn may relate to GDM risk.
- *In a study of 269 pregnant women, findings suggested that higher levels of vegetation (measured by NDVI) were associated with lower odds and levels of glucose, although results weren't statistically significant.
- *The research did not find strong evidence to support that gut microbiome diversity mediates the relationship between residential greenness and GDM or glucose levels.
Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a condition in which women without diabetes are diagnosed with glucose intolerance during pregnancy, typically in the second or third trimester. Early diagnosis, along with a better understanding of its pathophysiology during the first trimester of pregnancy, may be effective in reducing incidence and associated short-term and long-term morbidities.
Design: We comprehensively profiled the gut microbiome, metabolome, inflammatory cytokines, nutrition and clinical records of 394 women during the first trimester of pregnancy, before GDM diagnosis.
Background: Sonographic assessment of the fetal kidneys is an integral part of the prenatal anatomical survey.
Objectives: To evaluate the fetal renal to abdominal (RTA) ratio throughout pregnancy and to investigate whether this ratio can be a potential diagnostic landmark for congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT).
Methods: Measurements of the anterior-posterior diameters of the fetal kidney and fetal abdomen (APAD) were obtained prospectively.
Association and risk factors between induction of labor and cesarean section.
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med
November 2013
Objective: To determine risk factors and to quantify the risk of cesarean section (CS) associated with labor induction.
Method: A prospective controlled study of women admitted for labor induction with PGE2 in a single tertiary medical center. Outcome was compared with women who presented with spontaneous onset of delivery.
Labor induction with prostaglandin E2: characteristics of response and prediction of failure.
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med
January 2013
Objective: To characterize the response to labor induction with prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and to identify risk factors for induction failure.
Methods: A prospective controlled study of women admitted for labor induction with PGE2. Maternal characteristics, Bishop score and sonographic cervical length were documented at admission.
