Article Synopsis
  • Birth weight is influenced by both maternal and paternal factors, including genetics, environment, and diet, with maternal characteristics having a stronger impact on fetal growth and infant health.
  • While maternal factors like age and prior pregnancies greatly affect birth weight, the role of paternal characteristics, particularly age and height, is still being studied but shows a correlation with variations in newborn size and health outcomes.
  • Research suggests that taller fathers may lead to higher birth weights and lower chances of small for gestational age infants, indicating a complex relationship between parental attributes and fetal development that warrants further exploration.

Background: Risk stratification and treatment benefit prediction models are urgent to improve negative sentinel lymph node (SLN-) melanoma patient selection, thus avoiding costly and toxic treatments in patients at low risk of recurrence. To this end, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) could help clinicians to better calculate the recurrence risk and choose whether to perform adjuvant therapy.

Methods: We made use of AI to predict recurrence-free status (RFS) within 2-years from diagnosis in 94 SLN- melanoma patients.

The deployment of fluorinated functional groups has become a widespread tool in medicinal chemistry due to the impact of fluorine on lipophilicity and metabolic stability. Among these compounds, enantiopure secondary trifluoromethylcarbinols are recurrent features in bioactive compounds. Herein, we present a diastereoselective redox-neutral process allowing the stereospecific synthesis of 1,5-carboxamido-trifluoromethylcarbinols through the formal reduction of a trifluoromethylketone into a trifluoromethylcarbinol.

Objective: To compare safety and effectiveness of two-different directions of suturing the posterior vaginal breach (horizontal [Ho] vs vertical [Ve]) in women undergoing recto-vaginal endometriosis (RVE) nodule resection.

Methods: A multicenter, retrospective, observational, cohort study was performed including all women of reproductive age undergoing RVE nodule resection between March 2013 and December 2018 at our tertiary centers. Patients included in the present study were divided into two groups based on the direction in suturing the posterior vaginal fornix defect, for comparisons in terms of rate of postoperative complications, pain relief, pain and anatomical recurrence, and length of hospital stay.
