Forward Weight Prediction among Small for Gestational Age, Average for Gestational Age, and Large for Gestational Age Neonates.

This study was aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the gestation-adjusted projection (GAP) forward projection model among neonates classified as small (SGA), appropriate (AGA), or large for gestational age (LGA), and to assess the impact of elevated maternal body mass index (BMI) on prediction accuracy. The GAP model uses percentile-based extrapolation to predict birth weight from remote ultrasounds, maintaining fetal weight percentile from scan to delivery, unlike traditional methods relying on static weight estimates near delivery.We conducted a retrospective review (2016-2023) of singleton, liveborn, nonanomalous pregnancies delivered after 28 weeks.

NLRP3 inflammasome-driven hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis occurs independent of IL-1β and IL-18 and is targetable by BET inhibitors.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a potentially fatal cytokine storm syndrome. Its high mortality rate reflects limited therapeutic options and a poor understanding of disease-causing signaling. We show that the NLRP3 inflammasome is responsible for increased mortality in a model of secondary HLH (sHLH).

Optimizing antepartum admission care: Assessing the influence of QR code-based patient education on postpartum contraception rates.

Introduction: With the uncertain landscape of abortion laws across the United States, the importance of postpartum contraception has increased, particularly for women experiencing high-risk pregnancies requiring antepartum hospitalization. Conversations about contraception are often overshadowed by the myriad of other discussions related to high-risk pregnancies. This is especially significant for birthing persons of color, given the history of systemic racism and coercion related to permanent sterilization.

Examining the role of thromboelastography in patients with COVID-19.

BackgroundCOVID-19 causes a severe respiratory distress syndrome. Systemic inflammation and hypercoagulability are common. These findings are often evaluated with non-specific markers, including CRP, D-dimer, and fibrinogen.

Tuning the Energy Levels of Adamantane by Boron Substitution.

Adamantane is known to have two different carbon environments, the C1-type (or bridgehead) and C2-type (or methylene bridge), serving as a foundation to explore the effects of boron substitution at these sites. Using DFT with B3LYP/6-31G(d), the structural, electronic, and optical properties of 37 boron-substituted isomers were investigated. The adamantane structure has rigid symmetry with an average C-C of 153.
