Aim: To compare glycemic control and maternal-fetal outcomes of women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using Minimed™ 780G (MM780G) with those women using Minimed™ 640G (MM640G) since before pregnancy.

Methods: Multicenter prospective cohort study of pregnant women with T1D in Spain. We evaluated HbA1c, time spent within (TIRp), below (TBRp) and above (TARp) the pregnancy-specific glucose range 3.

Unlabelled: Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is an autosomal dominant, multisystem disorder that typically presents with cholestasis, cardiac, ocular, skeletal, vascular and renal abnormalities, and distinct facial features. Most cases are due to variants in the JAG1 gene, with only a small percentage involving a complete gene deletion.

Objective: to contribute to the phenotype delineation and interpretation of a microdeletion not previously described in the literature on chromosome 20.

Article Synopsis
  • High driving pressure (DP) during mechanical ventilation can negatively impact outcomes in pediatric patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS), particularly regarding 28-day mortality rates.
  • A study of 184 intubated children showed that those with a DP greater than 15 cm H2O at 72 hours had a higher risk for mortality and longer ventilation duration.
  • Key findings included that lower tidal volumes were linked to decreased mortality risk, while higher plateau pressures in non-survivors highlighted the importance of managing ventilation parameters effectively.*

We explored the experiences of women with fibromyalgia during the COVID-19 pandemic from a qualitative approach by interviewing eighteen women. We identified seven main themes after performing a thematic analysis: pain description, pain triggers, impact, coping strategies, treatment for pain, pain onset and general situation. In general, pain worsened during the pandemic, and activity restrictions and changes in social interactions were particularly related with that.

Nowadays, the scarcity of energy resources is promoting the search for alternative energy sources, boosting interest in the use of forest lignocellulosic residue in the energy sector. In this study, the focus is on the energy recovery from two lignocellulosic residues originated during the pruning of ornamental trees (Horse Chestnut, CI, and False Acacia, FA). Both conventional and flash pyrolysis techniques were applied.
