In this study, the potential prognostic value of serial ultrasonographic, endocrinological and biochemical measurements in the early pregnancy of women with a history of unexplained recurrent miscarriage was examined. A total of 113 pregnancies among 93 women were studied, of which 77 (68%) resulted in live birth, whereas 36 (32%) ended in a miscarriage. The normal range (5-95th centile) of various measurements was derived from pregnancies which resulted in a live birth. Among the 36 failed pregnancies, 42% had one or more human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) measurements, 35% had one or more gestation-sac diameter measurements, 33% had one or more embryonic heart rate measurements, 20% had one or more crown-rump length measurements and 9% had one or more placental protein 14 measurements below the normal range, a week or more prior to the confirmation of miscarriage. Altogether, 22/36 = 61% of the failed pregnancies could have been predicted on the basis of one or more of the measurements below the normal range.

Contaminant-Associated Disruption of the Skin Transcriptome in the Endangered St. Lawrence Estuary Beluga.
Environ Sci Technol

Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Pacific Science Enterprise Center, 4160 Marine Drive, West Vancouver, British Columbia V7V 1N6, Canada.
The St. Lawrence Estuary (SLE) beluga () population in Canada is Endangered, and endocrine disrupting contaminants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and other halogenated flame retardants, have been identified as a threat to the recovery of this population. Here, potential impacts of these contaminants on SLE beluga were evaluated by comparing skin transcriptome profiles and biological pathways between this population and a population less exposed to contaminants (Eastern Beaufort Sea) used as a reference.

Background: Previous studies have reported normative data for sagittal spinal alignment in asymptomatic adults. The sagittal spinal alignment change in European children was recently reported. However, there is a lack of studies on the normative reference values of sagittal spinal and pelvic alignment and how these parameters change at different growth stages in Chinese children.

Ecological ditches serve as one of the important measures for the concentrated infiltration of stormwater in the construction process of sponge cities. Prolonged concentrated infiltration of stormwater can lead to the accumulation of pollutants and pollution risks in the substrate of ecological ditches. In this study, two different substrate ecological ditches were constructed, namely, a combined substrate ecological ditch with zeolite + ceramsite (EA), and a biological substrate ecological ditch (EB).

Objective: This study aims to accurately classify ATN profiles using highly specific amyloid and tau PET ligands and MRI in patients with cognitive impairment and suspected Alzheimer's disease (AD). It also aims to explore the relationship between quantified amyloid and tau deposition and cognitive function.
Methods: Twenty-seven patients (15 women and 12 men; age range: 64-81 years) were included in this study.
