Background: Thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy negatively impacts both the woman and her offspring, with the early gestational period being critical for potential repercussions. Establishing pre-conception and during-conception care strategies is crucial for favorable pregnancy outcomes.
Objective: This review aims to compile the most recent scientific evidence to guide diagnostic and therapeutic approaches based on clinical cases, including a description of thyroid physiology during pregnancy and strategies for identifying high-risk patients for treatment.
Method: This bibliographic review combined DeCS and MeSH terms from the PICOT question, spanning the period from 2015 to 2022 across 5 databases. Articles in both English and Spanish were included if they addressed the PICOT question and contributed to the explanation of two case reports.
Results: A total of 1452 articles were collected, which, following an initial elimination of duplicates and subsequent blind review based on inclusion and exclusion criteria by two reviewers, resulted in 32 articles included in this review.
Conclusions: Overt hypothyroidism is associated with adverse maternal-fetal outcomes, and its treatment improves these complications. However, in borderline conditions such as subclinical hypothyroidism, isolated hypothyroxinemia, and thyroid autoimmune conditions, uncertainty about the treatment's impact persists due to a scarcity of controlled trials. Emphasizing the importance of all physicians being familiar with this condition during gestation.

Introduction: The Saving Babies' Lives Care Bundle (SBLCB) was introduced in England in 2015 and was updated in 2019 (SBLCBv2). This study aimed to describe the degree to which SBLCBv2 was implemented in practice and describe contemporary experiences of receiving and delivering antenatal and intrapartum care informed by the recommendations of SBLCBv2.
Methods: This cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted in 28 National Health Service maternity units across England between October and December 2023.

Introduction: Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular and limb adverse events. Optimal post intervention antithrombotic strategy may significantly impact medium to long-term outcomes. The VOYAGER PAD trial showed a clinical benefit of combining low dose rivaroxaban plus aspirin by reducing cardiovascular and limb major adverse events.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) offers a promising strategy to harness large language models (LLMs) for delivering up-to-date, accurate clinical guidance while reducing physicians' cognitive burden, yet its effectiveness hinges on query clarity and structure. We propose an adaptive Self-Query Retrieval (SQR) framework that integrates three refinement modules-PICOT (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Time), SPICE (Setting, Population, Intervention, Comparison, Evaluation), and Iterative Query Refinement (IQR)-to automatically restructure and iteratively enhance clinical questions until they meet predefined retrieval-quality thresholds. Implemented on Gemini-1.

Preeclampsia (PE) represents a complex hypertensive disorder of pregnancy which combines blood pressure elevation with organ dysfunction through mineral metabolism disturbances. The current guidelines recommend low-dose aspirin for PE prevention yet the impact of dietary salicylates on mineral status remains an open question. This research investigated how dietary salicylates and aspirin affect calcium and magnesium homeostasis in rats with NG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester (L-NAME)-induced preeclampsia.

Lynch syndrome "carriers" carry a germline pathogenic variant conferring gene-, sex-, and organ-specific increased cancer risks. They are presented with difficult, interrelated choices over their lifetime. This study was part of a larger project to codesign a health intervention, Lynch Choices™ https://canchoose.
