Context: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) has initially been implicated in adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, while subsequent population studies have failed to show an association.
Objective: To compare maternal, pregnancy, and neonatal outcomes in patients with and without PHPT.
Design: Retrospective matched-cohort study (2005-2020).
Article Synopsis
- Accurate oxygen sensing is vital for the use of wearable devices in clinical and non-clinical settings; this research presents a method to create nonwoven polymeric fibrous mats for this purpose.
- The study utilizes airbrush spraying to manufacture nonwoven fiber meshes that integrate a phosphorescent dye, demonstrating non-cytotoxicity and enhanced oxygen sensitivity.
- The final product features improvements in mechanical properties and enables oxygen concentration mapping using smartphone cameras, indicating potential advancements in cell culture and healthcare monitoring.
Takotsubo syndrome is a state of an acute heart failure featuring reversible left ventricular dysfunction. In recent years, the incidence of Takotsubo syndrome has risen 8-fold. In this case series and literature review, we present the rare presentations or complications of Takotsubo syndrome and highlight diagnostic or management strategies.

Here, we used simple fabrication techniques with readily available polymers to obtain high performance phosphorescent films. Specifically, evaporation-based phase separation and the breath figure technique were used to induce porosity.
