Objective: To describe and analyze a series of uterine ruptures (UR) that occurred in the context of medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) or intrauterine death (IUD) from a risk management perspective.

Methods: French retrospective descriptive observational study of all cases of UR occurring during induction for IUD or MTP, reported between 2011 and 2021 by Gynerisq. Cases were recorded on a basis of voluntary reports using targeted questionnaires.

Results: Between November 27, 2011, and August 22, 2021, 12 cases of UR occurring during an induction for IUD or MTP were recorded. 50 % of the patients had never given birth by cesarean section. The term of delivery varied from 17+3 days to 41+2 days. The clinical signs found were pain (n=6), ascending fetal presentation (n=5) and bleeding (n=4). All patients were managed by laparotomy, 5 were transfused. One vascular ligation and one hysterectomy were required.

Conclusion: Knowledge of surgical history is involved in the prevention of UR. The signs of detection are pain, ascending presentation and bleeding. The speed of management and good teamwork allow a reduction of maternal complications. The findings of the morbidity and mortality reviews show that prevention and mitigation barriers can be established.

Disturbances of the intestinal barrier enabling bacterial translocation exacerbate alcoholic liver disease (ALD). GG (LGG) has been shown to exert beneficial effects in gut dysbiosis and chronic liver disease. The current study assessed the combined effects of LGG and metformin, which play roles in anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory processes, in alcohol-induced liver disease mice.

We examine the efficacy of the Individualized Coordination and Empowerment for Care Partners of Persons with Dementia (ICECaP), an intervention that involves one-on-one individualized support from a dementia care coordinator for a dementia care partner, compared to an active control group. At least once monthly contact is made from a dementia care coordinator to the dementia care partner by telephone, video conferencing, email, or in-person support at clinical visits for the person with dementia. In this pilot randomized unblinded control trial of ICECaP, n = 61 (n = 90 randomized) care partners completed 12-months of the ICECaP intervention and n = 69 (n = 92 randomized) care partners received routine clinical support (controls) in an outpatient memory care clinic at an academic medical center, from which the participants were recruited.

Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) is a crucial reducing cofactor for reductive biosynthesis and protection from oxidative stress. To fulfill their heightened anabolic and reductive power demands, cancer cells must boost their NADPH production. Progrowth and mitogenic protein kinases promote the activity of cytosolic NAD kinase (NADK), which produces NADP, a limiting NADPH precursor.

Expanded non-invasive prenatal testing offers better detection of fetal copy number variations but not chromosomal aneuploidies.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical performance of expanded non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT-plus) and compare its effectiveness in screening for chromosomal aneuploidies with that of NIPT.

Methods: Screening results, confirmatory invasive testing results, and follow-up data from pregnant women who underwent either NIPT (6792 cases) or NIPT-Plus (5237 cases) testing at Luohe Central Hospital, China, from January 2019 to June 2023 were collected. The positive predictive value (PPV), sensitivity, specificity, and other indicators for different types of chromosomal abnormalities in NIPT/NIPT-plus screening were calculated.

PPARγ is the pharmacological target of thiazolidinediones (TZDs), potent insulin sensitizers that prevent metabolic disease morbidity but are accompanied by side effects such as weight gain, in part due to non-physiological transcriptional agonism. Using high throughput genome engineering, we targeted nonsense mutations to every exon of PPARG, finding an ATG in Exon 2 (chr3:12381414, CCDS2609 c.A403) that functions as an alternative translational start site.
