Point-of-Care Tests for Preeclampsia: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Diagnostic Test Accuracy Studies.
BJOG
December 2024
Fetal Medicine Unit, St George's University Hospital, London, UK.
Article Synopsis
- Preeclampsia is a condition with serious risks for mothers and babies, and new angiogenic markers are being used to help diagnose it quickly in clinical settings.
- The study analyzed the effectiveness of various point-of-care tests for predicting preeclampsia, focusing on their sensitivity and specificity based on data from 17 relevant studies.
- Glycosylated fibronectin testing showed promising results with a sensitivity of 0.80 and specificity of 0.84, indicating it could be a valuable tool for clinical decisions regarding preeclampsia in high-risk patients.

Multicenter Evaluation of Diagnostic Circulating Biomarkers to Detect Sight-Threatening Diabetic Retinopathy.
JAMA Ophthalmol
June 2022
Institute of Ophthalmology, University College London, London, United Kingdom.
Importance: It is a global challenge to provide regular retinal screening for all people with diabetes to detect sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy (STDR).
Objective: To determine if circulating biomarkers could be used to prioritize people with type 2 diabetes for retinal screening to detect STDR.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cross-sectional study collected data from October 22, 2018, to December 31, 2021.
Population genomics confirms acquisition of drug-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus infection by humans from the environment.
Nat Microbiol
May 2022
Medical Research Council Centre for Global Disease Analysis, Imperial College London, London, UK.
Article Synopsis
- Infections from the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus are showing increasing resistance to standard azole antifungal treatments, yet there's limited knowledge on how patients acquire these drug-resistant strains from the environment.
- A study analyzing 218 fungal isolates from the UK and Ireland revealed two main genetic groups (clades A and B), with most environmental resistance found in clade A and strong evidence of patients getting infections from environmental sources.
- The research also identified genetic regions under positive selection that relate to azole resistance, highlighting the need for more understanding of how these fungi develop drug resistance, particularly in patients who are already vulnerable due to respiratory infections.
Recommendations for Lung Ultrasound in Internal Medicine.
Diagnostics (Basel)
August 2020
Consultant Respiratory Physician and Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer, King's College University Hospital Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, London SE6 2LR, UK.
Article Synopsis
- The 2020 update to the lung ultrasound recommendations for internal medicine (POLLUS-IM) is based on a comprehensive review of new literature since 2018, incorporating 528 publications, including 253 new studies.
- The recommendations were developed through a rigorous process that involved assessing data quality and expert evaluations using the modified Delphi method.
- Key areas addressed in the updated recommendations include pneumonia, heart failure, hydration status monitoring in dialysis patients, pleural effusion assessment, pulmonary embolism, and diaphragm function testing—all aimed at assisting clinicians in their daily practice.

Prediction of neonatal respiratory distress in pregnancies complicated by fetal lung masses.
Prenat Diagn
March 2017
Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA, USA.
Objective: The objective of this article is to evaluate the utility of fetal lung mass imaging for predicting neonatal respiratory distress.
Method: Pregnancies with fetal lung masses between 2009 and 2014 at a single center were analyzed. Neonatal respiratory distress was defined as intubation and mechanical ventilation at birth, surgery before discharge, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Implant-retained auricular prostheses are a successful prosthetic treatment option for patients who are missing their ear(s) due to trauma, oncology, or birth defects. The prosthetic ear is aesthetically pleasing, composed of natural looking anatomical contours, shape, and texture along with good color that blends with surrounding existing skin. These outcomes can be optimized by the integration of digital technologies in the construction process.

Patients with significant craniofacial asymmetry may have functional problems associated with their occlusion and aesthetic concerns related to the imbalance in soft and hard tissue profiles. This report details a case of facial asymmetry secondary to left mandible angle deficiency due to undergoing previous radiotherapy. We describe the correction of the bony deformity using computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing custom-made titanium onlay using novel direct metal laser sintering.
