Importance: Obesity is a major public health concern that is associated with serious health risks and consequences for people who want to be, are, or have been pregnant.
Objective: We will describe the implications and consequences of obesity, and describe the factors fueling obesity's escalating prevalence. We will describe new treatment approaches including glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists, which may be an effective strategy for achieving weight loss and for improving the health of people who have been, are, or want to be pregnant.
Evidence Acquisition: Existing literature on obesity consequences, treatment options, and pregnancy implications was reviewed through a PubMed search.
Results: Obesity has dire pregnancy-related health consequences and leads to multiple barriers to healthcare. Traditional interventions related to diet and exercise have fallen short, and newer medical therapies are emerging.
Relevance: The periods before, during, and after pregnancy are crucial to mitigate potential morbidities of pregnancy pre, peri, and post. Obstetricians have a unique opportunity to tackle the problem of obesity at those times.

ConspectusChiral organosilicon compounds bearing a Si-stereogenic center have attracted increasing attention in various scientific communities and appear to be a topic of high current relevance in modern organic chemistry, given their versatile utility as chiral building blocks, chiral reagents, chiral auxiliaries, and chiral catalysts. Historically, access to these non-natural Si-stereogenic silanes mainly relies on resolution, whereas their asymmetric synthetic methods dramatically lagged compared to their carbon counterparts. Over the past two decades, transition-metal-catalyzed desymmetrization of prochiral organosilanes has emerged as an effective tool for the synthesis of enantioenriched Si-stereogenic silanes.

Orthohantaviruses are emerging zoonotic viruses that can infect humans via the respiratory tract. There is an unmet need for an in vivo model to study infection of different orthohantaviruses in physiologically relevant tissue and to assess the efficacy of novel pan-orthohantavirus countermeasures. Here, we describe the use of a human lung xenograft mouse model to study the permissiveness for different orthohantavirus species and to assess its utility for preclinical testing of therapeutics.

Several international studies have investigated academic decision-making in higher education, but there is limited research on students' choice to study pharmacy in the Canadian context. While there is some variation across jurisdictions, decisions to enroll in a particular degree program fall into several decision-making domains (e.g.

Background: Over the past few years there has been a decrease in the number of applicants applying to podiatric medical school. It has been suggested that this may be due to unfamiliarity with the profession of podiatric medicine. The goal of this study is to shed light on the misconceptions and lack of awareness of podiatric medicine so that the profession can better bridge the gap in knowledge with a resultant strategy to better increase recruiting efforts.
