Background: Despite the prevalence and associated maternal and neonatal morbidities of gestational diabetes (GDM), there is no consensus regarding an alternative test for patients who cannot tolerate the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
Objective(s): To assess neonatal outcomes among patients undergoing an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IV GTT) to screen for GDM when an OGTT could not be tolerated.
Study Design: Prospective cohort study which enrolled patients intolerant of OGTT between February 2019 to February 2020.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how well left ventricular strain (LVGLS) detects left ventricular dysfunction in acute respiratory failure (ARF) patients on invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), compared to the traditional measure, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
- Three patient groups were analyzed based on their echocardiography timing related to IMV: during, before, and after IMV, with results showing that LVGLS was significantly higher in patients not on IMV compared to those who were.
- The findings suggest that LVGLS may be a better indicator of early left ventricular dysfunction in ARF patients requiring IMV, as LVEF did not show significant differences among the groups.
Objective: To describe the incidence of new onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) among children younger than 11 years old diagnosed during the COVID-19 pandemic (March 1, 2020-December 31, 2021) compared to those diagnosed during the pre-pandemic period (January 1, 2017-February 29, 2020) and to compare the metabolic parameters of those with T2D diagnosed before age 11 years with those diagnosed after age 11 years.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of youth <21 years with new onset T2D treated at Hasbro Children's Hospital between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2021. Patients diagnosed at age <11 years were compared to those ≥11 years.
Background: Transfemoral (TF) access is the preferred approach for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Limited data exist regarding the outcomes of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL)-assisted TF TAVR in patients with peripheral artery disease.
Objectives: This study sought to examine contemporary characteristics, trends, and outcomes of IVL TAVR in the United States.
Article Synopsis
- Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and elevated left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) may be linked to clinical outcomes in stroke patients, but their specific role in embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) needs further exploration.
- A study was conducted on adults with acute ischemic stroke to evaluate the relationship between LVDD, elevated LVFP, and stroke types, specifically comparing ESUS and non-cardioembolic stroke (NCE). Patients with cardioembolic strokes were excluded.
- Findings suggest that while LVDD alone isn't significantly related to ESUS or atrial fibrillation (AF), having LVDD with elevated LVFP shows a borderline association with ESUS and a significant association
