Diabetic halo.

South Med J

Published: December 1983

In 42 diabetic patients evaluated by ultrasonography in the third trimester of pregnancy, 12 fetuses were found to have the diabetic halo. Of that group, the estimated fetal weight exceeded the 90th percentile in eight of nine studies in which the weight could be estimated sonographically. Overgrowth of the fetal head was not a finding in this group of patients and was not associated with the diabetic halo. The diabetic halo appears to be more accurate than the biparietal diameter as an indicator of infants that are large for gestational age.

Rigidified nucleoside derivatives with (N)-methanocarba replacement of ribose have been repurposed as peripheral subtype-selective 5-HT serotonin receptor antagonists for heart and lung fibrosis and intestinal/vascular conditions. 4'-Cyano derivative (MRS8209; , 4.27 nM) was 47-fold (human binding, but not rat and mouse) and 724-fold (functionally) selective at 5-HTR, compared to antitarget 5-HTR, and predicted to form a stable receptor complex using docking and molecular dynamics.

Background: Self-sampling has game-changing potential to tackle the declining participation and inequities seen in many organised cervical screening programmes. Wide variation in uptake between settings and mode of kit offer highlight the importance of local piloting. Furthermore, harnessing the benefits of self-sampling in real-world settings has been surprisingly challenging.

Chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of a newly identified chemotype of Achillea wilhelmsii K.Koch from Kashan, Iran.

Sci Rep

September 2024

Department of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Cagliari, University Campus, S.P. Monserrato-Sestu Km 0.700, 09042, Monserrato, CA, Italy.

Achillea wilhelmsii K.Koch (Asteraceae) is traditionally used in Kashan (Iran) to control diabetes, headaches, kidney stones and heartburn. Due to its beneficial properties, the aerial parts of the plant were collected from the area of Maragheh (Kashan, Isfahan, Iran), in June 2022, during its full flowering, and the essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation (Clevenger).

Evaluating the Diagnostic Role of ACR-TIRADS and Bethesda Classifications in Thyroid Nodules Highlighted by Cyto-Histopathological Studies.

Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes

November 2024

Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Cancer Biology Department, National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt.

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of thyroid imaging reporting and data system (ACR-TIRADS) and the Bethesda system for reporting cytopathology (TBSRCP) classifications for identifying or ruling out thyroid malignancy in relation to the gold standard (post-surgical pathology).

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 573 patients with single or multiple thyroid nodules. Patients were evaluated using the TIRADS and the TBSRCP classification.

Background: Loxoscelism refers to a set of clinical manifestations caused by the bite of spiders from the genus. The classic clinical symptoms are characterized by an intense inflammatory reaction at the bite site followed by local necrosis and can be classified as cutaneous loxoscelism. This cutaneous form presents difficult healing, and the proposed treatments are not specific or effective.
