Objective: Recent guidelines from WHO and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) state that the Robson ten-group classification system (TGCS) should be universally applied to pregnant women. Such information might enable women to make an informed decision about the place and mode of delivery. We assessed whether women could self-classify correctly according to the TGCS.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted in a tertiary level maternity hospital between March 6 and July 31, 2017. We included post-partum women admitted to the puerperium ward. Participants were instructed to complete a multiple-choice questionnaire with a simplified description of TGCS and to classify themselves into one of the ten groups. A practitioner reclassified women into the correct TGCS group. Cohen κ was applied to measure the rate of agreement between these two evaluations.
Results: 400 women were enrolled, with a global rate of agreement of 81.8% between women's self-evaluation and the evaluation by the practitioner. A subanalysis showed that the highest rate of agreement was among the group with higher level education (84.0%).
Conclusion: Women of different ages and education backgrounds were able to correctly classify themselves into the TGCS. The higher the educational level, the greater the rate of agreement.

The exploitation of high-performance third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials that have a favorable optical limit (OL) threshold is essential due to a rise in the application of ultra-intense lasers. In this study, a Cu-based MOF (denoted as Cu-bpy) was synthesized, and its third-order NLO and OL properties were investigated using the Z-scan technique with the nanosecond laser pulse excitation set at 532 nm. The Cu-bpy exhibits a typical rate of reverse saturable absorption (RSA) with a third-order nonlinear absorption coefficient of 100 cm GW and a favorable OL threshold of 0.

The problem of constructing information measures with a well-defined interpretation is of fundamental significance in information theory. A good definition of an information measure entails certain desirable properties while also providing answers to operational problems. In this work, we investigate the properties of the unique information, an information measure that quantifies a deviation from the Blackwell order.

Background: Identifying asymptomatic patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) poses a challenge, and their optimal management is less certain, despite similar outcomes to symptomatic AF patients. The 'Atrial fibrillation Better Care' (ABC) pathway has been recently proposed as a holistic or integrated care approach for the comprehensive management of symptomatic patients with AF. We aimed to determine the use of the ABC pathway on clinical outcomes in asymptomatic patients with AF.

Photosynthetic organisms rely on a network of light-harvesting protein-pigment complexes to efficiently absorb sunlight and transfer excitation energy to reaction centre proteins where charge separation occurs. In photosynthetic purple bacteria, these complexes are embedded within the cell membrane, with lipid composition affecting complex clustering, thereby impacting inter-complex energy transfer. However, the impact of the lipid bilayer on intra-complex excitation dynamics is less understood.

In non-papillary follicular cell-derived thyroid carcinomas, prognostic factors are scarce. Intratumoral fibrosis was identified as an adverse factor in papillary and medullary carcinomas, but it has not been investigated in other subtypes. We aimed at exploring the presence of intratumoral fibrosclerosis in a cohort of 132 non-papillary follicular cell-derived thyroid carcinomas (53 follicular and 31 oncocytic carcinomas, including 10 high grade differentiated thyroid carcinomas and 48 poorly differentiated carcinomas) and correlating its presence and extent with clinical and pathological features and survival.
