Aims/hypothesis: The aim of this study was to assess the interaction between melatonin receptor 1B gene (MTNR1B) rs10830963 polymorphism and lifestyle intervention during pregnancy on occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in high-risk women.
Methods: This is a secondary analysis of the randomised controlled gestational diabetes prevention trial 'RADIEL', conducted between 2008 and 2014 in four maternity hospitals in southern Finland. A total of 226 women with a history of GDM and/or a pre-pregnancy BMI ≥ 30 kg/m(2) were enrolled at <20 weeks of gestation (mean 13 weeks) and randomised into an intervention group receiving counselling on diet, physical activity and weight control and a control group receiving standard antenatal care. The main outcome was incidence of GDM, defined as one or more pathological glucose values in a standard 75 g 2-h OGTT. The MTNR1B rs10830963 was genotyped for further analyses.
Results: No significant differences were found in the genotype distribution between the intervention and the control group. A significant interaction was observed between the rs10830963 genotypes and the lifestyle intervention on age-adjusted occurrence of gestational diabetes (p = 0.038). Among women homozygous for the C allele of rs10830963, the OR for GDM was significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (OR 0.16 [95% CI 0.03, 0.85], p = 0.014). This difference was not seen in women heterozygous (OR 0.88 [95% CI 0.32, 2.41], p = 0.798) or homozygous (OR 2.25 [95% CI 0.34, 14.69], p = 0.384) for the risk allele G.
Conclusions/interpretation: In women at high risk of GDM, only those not carrying the risk allele G benefited from the lifestyle intervention. Our results indicate that certain genetic risk variants may modify the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions. This may provide important information when planning GDM prevention studies in the future.

Identifying Fraudulent Responses in a Study Exploring Delivery Options for Pregnancies Impacted by Gestational Diabetes: Lessons Learned From a Web-Based Survey.

Current literature is unclear on the safety and optimal timing of delivery for pregnant individuals with gestational diabetes mellitus, which inspired our study team to conduct a web-based survey study exploring patient and provider opinions on delivery options. However, an incident of fraudulent activity with survey responses prompted a shift in the focus of the research project. Unfortunately, despite the significant rise of web-based surveys used in medical research, there remains very limited evidence on the implications of and optimal methods to handle fraudulent web-based survey responses.

Purpose Of Review: Discuss the relationship between pregnancy complications and long-term atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk.
Recent Findings: A large body of research confirms an association between pregnancy complications and increased short and long-term ASCVD risk and seeks to understand mechanisms for these associations. Social determinants of health continue to have a critical impact on the prevalence of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) and long term ASCVD risk.

Objectives: Cardiometabolic health during pregnancy has potential to influence long-term chronic disease risk for both mother and offspring. Mindfulness practices have been associated with improved cardiometabolic health in non-pregnant populations. The objective was to evaluate diverse studies that explored relationships between prenatal mindfulness and maternal cardiometabolic health.

Objectives: The relationship between iodine status and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is inconclusive. This study aimed to explore the trajectories of urinary iodine concentrations (UIC) in pregnant women before GDM diagnosis and to assess the associations between maternal UIC trajectories and the risk of developing GDM.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted in China.
