This study aims to investigate the association between exposure to toxic indoor chemicals, specifically polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG) and oligo(2-(2-ethoxy) ethoxyethyl guanidinium) chloride (PGH), used in humidifier disinfectants, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). We confirmed pregnancy from 2003 to 2017 and identified GDM by linking a cohort of claimants who reported exposure to PHMG/PGH with National Health Insurance Service data. The GDM incidence was calculated, and PHMG/PGH exposure characteristics-exposure status, the humidifier's distance/location, and exposure duration/hours-were investigated.

This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), a marker of severe knee osteoarthritis (OA), among older females with concurrent knee OA and osteoporosis (OP) who were treated with denosumab or bisphosphonates. By analyzing a large population-based cohort, we sought to clarify how these treatments influence the progression of knee OA to the point of requiring surgical intervention. We used data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, including data from females aged ≥ 50 years diagnosed with knee OA and OP who initiated treatment between 2012 and 2019.
