Background: Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) is the most common medical condition during gestation, carrying tremendous health burden, especially for the severe form, hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). The rates of NVP in the USA have not been systematically calculated.
Objectives: To estimate the rates of NVP and HG in the USA.
Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted of all peer-reviewed articles from the USA that provided rates of NVP in early or late pregnancy or HG. Medline, Embase and Cochrane databases were searched from inception through November 2012; reviews and articles were hand searched. Rates were combined across studies using a random effects model.
Results: Forty-eight articles were identified; 15 were rejected and 33 were included for analysis. Twenty-three studies of 67,602 women provided rates of NVP which had a meta-analytic rate of 68.6% (CI95%:64.4%-72.8%). Three of them (N=5034) reported nausea without vomiting in 28.6% and two studies (N=136) produced a rate for NVP during late pregnancy of 24.0%. HG occurred in 1.2% of the 2.1 million women in 12 studies.
Conclusions: We have summarized rates of NVP and HG, which are similar to those found in other parts of the world. Almost 70% of women suffer some form of the syndrome; 1.2% have the severe form, most of whom were hospitalized because of the HG. Future research should address issues of cost and resource utilization.

In this work the development of photoactive dressings (PAD) with dual purpose, is presented. These PAD can be used for the topical treatment of persistent infections caused by fungi and bacteria and are also applicable in light antitumor therapy for carcinoma. The synthesized PAD were designed employing conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPN) doped with platinum porphyrin which serve as polymerization photoinitiators and photosensitizers for the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Article Synopsis
- Induction of labor (IOL) is increasingly common, particularly in high-income countries with more pregnant women facing health issues, raising concerns about higher cesarean section (CS) rates and the need for better delivery mode counseling.
- The study aims to create a predictive model for vaginal delivery after IOL, as well as models for CS related to abnormal fetal heart rate and labor dystocia, using maternal clinical data and advanced computational techniques.
- Results from a sample of 2,434 singleton pregnancies indicated the vaginal delivery model was quite effective (AUROC = 0.794), while the CS model was less discriminatory (AUROC = 0.590), highlighting the predictive power of certain labor-related factors.
Effect of Temperature on Intermediate Phases of NaV(PO) during Cycling by X-ray Diffraction.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Laboratoire de Réactivité et de Chimie des Solides, CNRS-UMR 7314, Université de Picardie Jules Verne, F-80039 Cedex 1 Amiens, France.
NaV(PO) (NVP) has gained a lot of attention due to its remarkable properties, such as its robust crystal structure, cycle life, rate capabilities, and so on. Nevertheless, NVP undergoes a substantial decrease in its rate capability at low temperatures, which limits its practical applications. In this study, the performance of NVP at low, room, and high temperatures during cycling is thoroughly investigated using synchrotron X-ray diffraction.

Article Synopsis
- - NaV(PO) (NVP) is a highly promising material for sodium-ion batteries but struggles with low conductivity and charge transfer issues, which limits its effectiveness.
- - The study introduces a new approach by modifying the NVP surface with PrO nanoparticles, enhancing its interface compatibility and overall sodium-ion storage performance.
- - The modified NVP-2%PrO electrode demonstrates remarkable electrochemical properties, showing significant capacity retention even after extensive cycling, outperforming unmodified NVP in both lab tests and full-battery applications.
Full-scale study on high-rate low-temperature anaerobic digestion of agro-food wastewater: process performances and microbial community.

The fast-growing global population has led to a substantial increase in food production, which generates large volumes of wastewater during the process. Despite most industrial wastewater being discharged at lower ambient temperatures (<20 °C), majority of the high-rate anaerobic reactors are operated at mesophilic temperatures (>30 °C). High-rate low-temperature anaerobic digestion (LtAD) has proven successful in treating industrial wastewater both at laboratory and pilot scales, boasting efficient organic removal and biogas production.
