Duration of biophysical profile in periviable and very preterm low-risk pregnancies.

Background: In recent years, perinatal viability has shifted from 24 to 22 weeks of gestation at many institutions after improvements in survival in neonates delivered at the limit of viability. Monitoring these fetuses is essential because antenatal interventions with resuscitation efforts are available for patients at risk of delivery at the limit of viability. However, fetal monitoring using biophysical profiles has not been extensively studied in very preterm pregnancies, particularly in the periviable period (20 weeks 0 days to 23 weeks 6 days).

Spatial congruency or discrepancy? Exploring the spatiotemporal dynamics of built-up expansion patterns and flood risk.

Most coastal cities have been experiencing unprecedented urbanization-induced flood risk, climatic events, and haphazard anthropogenic activities, jeopardizing residents' lives and building environments. Despite mounting flood-related studies, analyzing the correlation between the spatiotemporal dynamics of Built-up Expansion patterns (BE) and flood risk remains unknown and holds divergent perspectives. In this context, the coastal city of Alexandria, Egypt, characterized by multiple urban patterns and experiencing heavy rainfall annually, was selected as a testbed.

EuCd_{2}As_{2}: A Magnetic Semiconductor.

EuCd_{2}As_{2} is now widely accepted as a topological semimetal in which a Weyl phase is induced by an external magnetic field. We challenge this view through firm experimental evidence using a combination of electronic transport, optical spectroscopy, and excited-state photoemission spectroscopy. We show that the EuCd_{2}As_{2} is in fact a semiconductor with a gap of 0.

Estimating the nonideality of eutectic systems containing thermally unstable substances.

Eutectic systems design requires an in-depth understanding of their solid-liquid equilibria (SLE). Modeling SLE in eutectic systems has as prerequisites, the melting properties and activity coefficients of components in the liquid phase. Thus, due to the unavailable melting properties of thermally unstable substances, it is impossible to estimate their activity coefficients from experimental SLE data and model the SLE phase diagram of their eutectic systems.

Outcomes in Pregnant Adolescent Patients Infected With SARS-CoV-2.

Background: Pregnant patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are at risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Although clinical outcomes for pregnant adults have been reported, the impact of COVID-19 on adolescents is lacking. We sought to evaluate obstetric outcomes of pregnant adolescents infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and compare them with uninfected adolescent controls.
