We used Minnesota birth certificate data from 1993-2003 to test 2 hypotheses: rates of diabetes-complicated pregnancy are increasing, and disparities between more and less socially advantaged groups are widening. Significant increases occurred in rates (per 1000 live births) of prepregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus (from 2.6 to 4.9 and 25.6 to 34.8, respectively). Increases were significant in all demographic groups except gestational diabetes among American Indian mothers, and disparities worsened among all groups. Targeted interventions and surveillance improvements are needed.

Ginsenoside Re suppresses high glucose-induced apoptosis of placental trophoblasts through endoplasmic reticulum stress-related CHOP/GADD153.
Hum Exp Toxicol
January 2025
Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Fuyong People's Hospital, Shenzhen, China.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a metabolic disorder that arises during pregnancy and heightens the risk of placental dysplasia. Ginsenoside Re (Re) may stabilize insulin and glucagon to regulate glucose levels, which may improve diabetes-associated diseases. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of Re in high glucose (HG)-induced apoptosis of trophoblasts through endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related protein CHOP/GADD153.

Aims: This study investigated the association between maternal age and early and late gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Methods: In total, 72,270 pregnant women were included in this prospective birth cohort study. Associations between maternal age and early GDM (diagnosed at <24 gestational weeks) and late GDM (diagnosed at ≥24 gestational weeks) were evaluated using a multinomial logistic regression model with possible confounding factors.

: This study was aimed to identify the most effective machine learning (ML) algorithm for predicting preeclampsia based on sociodemographic and obstetric factors during the preconception period. : Data from pregnant women admitted to the obstetric clinic during their first trimester were analyzed, focusing on maternal age, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, history of diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes mellitus, and mean arterial pressure. The women were grouped by whether they had a preeclampsia diagnosis and by whether they had one or two live births.
