Objective: The aim of the study is to identify the important clinical variables found in both pregnant and non-pregnant women who tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, using an artificial intelligence (AI) platform.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of all women between the ages of 18 to 45, who were admitted to Maimonides Medical Center between March 10, 2020 and December 20, 2021. Patients were included if they had nasopharyngeal PCR swab positive for SARS-CoV-2. Safe People Artificial Intelligence (SPAI) platform, developed by Gynisus, Inc., was used to identify key clinical variables predicting a positive test in pregnant and non-pregnant women. A list of mathematically important clinical variables was generated for both non-pregnant and pregnant women.
Results: Positive results were obtained in 1,935 non-pregnant women and 1,909 non-pregnant women tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Among pregnant women, 280 tested positive, and 1,000 tested negative. The most important clinical variable to predict a positive swab result in non-pregnant women was age, while elevated D-dimer levels and presence of an abnormal fetal heart rate pattern were the most important clinical variable in pregnant women to predict a positive test.
Conclusion: In an attempt to better understand the natural history of the SARS-CoV-2 infection we present a side-by-side analysis of clinical variables found in pregnant and non-pregnant women who tested positive for COVID-19. These clinical variables can help stratify and highlight those at risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection and shed light on the individual patient risk for testing positive.

Oestrogen and progesterone fluctuate cyclically in women throughout their adult lives. Although these hormones cross the blood-retinal barrier and bind to intraocular receptors, their effects remain unclear. We present the first review to date on associations between posterior pole structures-specifically the macula, choroid, and optic disc-and both the menstrual cycle and post-menopausal period, utilising multimodal imaging techniques in healthy adult non-pregnant women.

End-user feedback early in product development is important for optimizing multipurpose prevention technologies for HIV and pregnancy prevention. We evaluated the acceptability of the 90-day dapivirine levonorgestrel ring (DPV-LNG ring) used for 14 days compared to a dapivirine-only ring (DVR-200mg) in MTN-030/IPM 041 (n = 23), and when used for 90 days cyclically or continuously in MTN-044/IPM 053/CCN019 (n = 25). We enrolled healthy, non-pregnant, HIV-negative women aged 18-45 in Pittsburgh, PA and Birmingham, AL (MTN-030 only).

Background: R21 is a novel malaria vaccine, composed of a fusion protein of the malaria circumsporozoite protein and hepatitis B surface antigen. Following favourable safety and immunogenicity in a phase 1 study, we aimed to assess the efficacy of R21 administered with Matrix-M (R21/MM) against clinical malaria in adults from the UK who were malaria naive in a controlled human malaria infection study.
Methods: In this open-label, partially blinded, phase 1-2A controlled human malaria infection study undertaken in Oxford, Southampton, and London, UK, we tested five novel vaccination regimens of R21/MM.
Comparison of a non-invasive point-of-care measurement of anemia to conventionally used HemoCue devices in Gambella refugee camp, Ethiopia, 2022.

Annual surveys of refugees in Gambella, Ethiopia suggest that anemia is a persistent public health problem among non-pregnant women of reproductive age (NP-WRA, 15-49 years). Measurement of anemia in most refugee camp settings is conducted using an invasive HemoCue 301. We assessed the accuracy and precision of a non-invasive, pulse CO-oximeter in measuring anemia among NP-WRA in four Gambella refugee camps.

Purpose: To study the platelet adhesion and aggregation behaviour of late pregnancy women under arterial shear rate using microfluidic chip technology and evaluate the risk of thrombosis in late pregnancy.
Methods: We included pregnant women who were registered in the obstetrics department of our hospital between January 2021 and October 2022 and underwent regular prenatal examinations. Blood samples were collected at 32-35 weeks of gestation for routine blood tests and progesterone, oestradiol, and platelet aggregation function.
