The objective of this study was to investigate the utility and characteristics of various screening procedures for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Japan during the first trimester and between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. The subjects were 749 pregnant women who came to our hospitals. A 50-g oral glucose challenge test (GCT), casual plasma glucose measurements, fasting blood glucose measurements, and glycosylated hemoglobin measurements were performed in the first trimester. Subjects with no abnormalities were tested again at 24-28 weeks of gestation. Of the 749 subjects, 22 (2.9%) tested positive for GDM. Of those 22 patients, 14 were diagnosed with GDM in the first trimester (63.6%) and eight in the second trimester (36.4%). This finding suggests the importance of screening for glucose intolerance in the first trimester. Furthermore, it appears that the GCT has the most utility for GDM screening; the other screening methods tested were not as useful because of their low sensitivity, particularly in the second trimester.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) significantly disrupts placental structure and function, leading to complications such as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preeclampsia. This study aimed to investigate the effects of GDM on placental histology, angiogenesis, and oxidative stress, as well as evaluate metformin's protective role in mitigating these changes. A total of 60 pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: control, metformin-treated, GDM, and GDM with metformin.

Objective: This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the effects of parity on gestational weight gain (GWG) and its association with maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study data from 2,909 pregnant women with GDM who delivered between 2021 and 2023 at Fujian Maternity and Child Health hospital, were analyzed. Participants were categorized into nulliparous (no previous births), primiparous (one previous birth), and multiparous (two or more previous births) groups.

Background: In the past few decades, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) became widely used antidepressants worldwide. Therefore, the adverse reactions of patients after SSRI administration became a public and clinical concern. In this study, we conducted a pharmacovigilance study using the Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database of the US Food and Drug Administration.
