Currently, there is a lack of standardized diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), making it a subject of ongoing debate. The optimal diagnostic method and screening strategy for GDM remain contentious. In this review, we summarize the criteria and methods for diagnosing GDM, and perform a comparison between universal and selective screening strategies.

Determinants of vacancy formation and migration in high-entropy alloys.

Sci Adv

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Automobile Materials (Jilin University), Ministry of Education, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Jilin University, Changchun 130022, China.

Vacancies are crucial for the radiation resistance, strength, and ductility of high-entropy alloys (HEAs). However, complex electronic interactions resulting from chemical disorder prohibit the quantification of vacancy formation energy () and migration barriers (). Herein, we propose an electronic descriptor χ (electronegativity χ and valence-electron number ) to quantify the bonding strength of constituents on the basis of the tight-binding model, which allows us to build analytical models to achieve the site-to-site quantification of and .

Article Synopsis
  • Many marine animals, particularly Cnidarians like jellyfish, can be dangerous to humans and often cause painful burns, especially in tropical waters.
  • Contact with their toxins may lead to acute kidney damage, with varying effects depending on the specific species of Cnidaria involved.
  • Currently, there's one specific antitoxin for Cnidarian-induced burns, but research is ongoing to develop a universal treatment that could neutralize toxins from various Cnidarian species.

Article Synopsis
  • Sudden Unexpected Deaths in Infancy (SUDI) includes various causes of infant deaths in the first year of life, with risk factors like sleeping position and passive smoking, but the impact of environmental chemicals—specifically pesticides—remains unclear.
  • A systematic review of 92 studies identified 17 relevant studies on the link between SUDI and pesticide exposure, showing mixed results, with some suggesting a connection between SIDS and parental occupational exposure.
  • The overall evidence is inconclusive, highlighting the need for more rigorous and modern epidemiological research to better understand the potential association.
