Importance: Metformin and glyburide monotherapy are used as alternatives to insulin in managing gestational diabetes. Whether a sequential strategy of these oral agents results in noninferior perinatal outcomes compared with insulin alone is unknown.
Objective: To test whether a treatment strategy of oral glucose-lowering agents is noninferior to insulin for prevention of large-for-gestational-age infants.
Article Synopsis
- Wildfire activity in Arctic and boreal regions is increasing rapidly, impacting climate and human health significantly.
- Researchers developed a fire tracking system to analyze Arctic-boreal fires from 2012 to 2023, mapping key data like fire ignition time, location, and intensity.
- They classified these regions into seven 'pyroregions' that respond differently to environmental factors and highlight the significant role of human actions in influencing fire dynamics.
Early periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is generally treated by means of debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR). Subsequently, empiric antibiotic therapy is commenced directly after surgery which is important for the successful treatment of PJI. The aim of this study is to evaluate current nationwide empiric antibiotic treatment regimens for PJI in the Netherlands.

Design: Experimental case-control pilot study.
Setting: University medical centre in the Netherlands.
Objective: An emergency (rescue) cervical cerclage can be offered to pregnant women presenting with dilatation and prolapsed membranes in the second trimester of pregnancy because of cervical insufficiency. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an emergency cerclage in both singleton and twin pregnancies in the prevention of extreme premature birth.
Data Sources: We performed a systematic literature search in PubMed and Embase from inception to June 2022 for transvaginal cervical emergency cerclages.
