Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare disease reported to have an incidence of one in 400,000 to 500,000 live births. The disorder may be more common as it is not routinely considered a diagnostic possibility by many neonatologists who may routinely use insulin to treat neonatal hyperglycemia. NDM can be grouped into two distinct clinical entities--transient and permanent--based on certain features detailed herein; however, distinction between the two categories can only be definitely made in hindsight. Treatment is with insulin; however, determining the correct dose and method of delivery is often challenging, given the sensitivity of neonates to insulin and the risk of hypoglycemia. We report the successful use of Glargine insulin in the treatment of three infants with NDM, review the recent discoveries, and discuss guidelines for the care of newborns with NDM.

The mediating role of maternal fasting plasma glucose level and lipid levels in the third trimester of pregnancy between pre-pregnancy BMI and offspring physical development at birth.
Eur J Pediatr
January 2025
School of Nursing, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, 430030, Hubei, China.
Unlabelled: While previous research has established correlations between pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), late-pregnancy blood glucose, and late-pregnancy blood lipid levels during pregnancy and offspring's physical development, the underlying mechanism of their interaction remains elusive. A birth cohort study was conducted on pregnant women, who are biologically female, delivering at a tertiary hospital in Wuhan City between May 2023 and April 2024, encompassing 1620 participants. We collected maternal socio-demographic data through questionnaires and obtained information on fasting blood glucose (FPG), lipid levels during the third trimester, and neonatal physical development from medical records.

Objective: To evaluate the frequency of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes associated with maternal obesity in a Hispanic population. We hypothesized that obesity confers a dose-dependent risk associated with these outcomes.
Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study of singleton pregnancies delivered between 24 and 42 weeks gestation at an urban county hospital between 2013 and 2021.
The effect of addressing the top 10 global causes of death on life expectancy in 2019: a global and regional analysis.
Int Health
January 2025
Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran.
Background: The life expectancy (LE) index reflects health changes in society, highlighting trends in health quality and quantity. This study focused on analysing the impact of the top 10 causes of death on the global increase in LE in 2019.
Methods: Data on the top 10 causes of death in 2019 were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease website and a period life table was used to assess how eliminating these causes would impact LE.
Maternal and neonatal complications of pregnant women with bipolar disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
EClinicalMedicine
January 2025
UR3279, CEReSS, Research Centre on Health Services and Quality of Life, Aix Marseille University, Marseille, France.
Background: Confidence in pregnancy outcome data for women with bipolar disorder is compromised by small cohort sizes. However, comprehensive national data have been published over the last decade, but no quantitative synthesis has been established to determine the factors associated with complications in these women. Our goal is to summarise the evidence of population-based data on obstetric complications and neonatal outcomes in women with bipolar disorder compared to women without bipolar disorder.

J Med Ultrasound

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Mackay Memorial Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Amniotic fluid assessment is crucial in prenatal ultrasound to monitor fetal conditions, with polyhydramnios, characterized by excessive amniotic fluid, affecting 1%-2% of pregnancies. Polyhydramnios is linked to complications such as placental abruption, preterm labor, congenital anomalies, and postpartum hemorrhage, emphasizing the need for early detection and management. While idiopathic causes account for 60%-70% of cases, other causes include impaired fetal swallowing and increased urine production due to maternal, fetal, and placental conditions.
