Determinants of the persistency of macrosomia and shoulder dystocia despite treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus.

Aims: to identify potentially modifiable risk factors associated with the persistency of macrosomia and/or shoulder dystocia in infants born to women treated for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Methods: this case-control retrospective study included 113 cases complicated by macrosomia (ponderal index ≥97 percentile) and/or shoulder dystocia, and 226 controls without these complications. Factors associated with macrosomia and/or shoulder dystocia and with failure of diabetes management were assessed by multivariable analyses.

The Postoperative Occurrence or Worsening of Diabetes Mellitus May Increase the Risk of Recurrence in Resected Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors.

Introduction: The goal of this retrospective study was to investigate the potential link between diabetes mellitus (DM) and the recurrence of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNET) following curative intent surgery.

Methods: We included patients who underwent surgical resection of nonmetastatic well-differentiated PanNET. Exacerbation of DM was defined as the postoperative occurrence of DM or worsening of preexisting DM.
