Article Abstract
Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a major pregnancy complication linked to adverse perinatal outcomes. Biometric parameters and Doppler velocimetry are valuable tools in diagnosing IUGR and predicting pregnancy outcomes.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the role of biometric and Doppler parameters in the prediction of fetal growth restriction and associated pregnancy outcomes.
Methods: The participants underwent ultrasound biometry, including abdominal circumference (AC), head circumference (HC), femur length (FL), and Doppler velocimetry of uterine and umbilical arteries. Pregnancy outcomes and associations between Doppler and biometric parameters with delivery outcomes were monitored.
Results: Biometric findings showed that 52% of patients had abnormal FL/AC ratios, and 44% had abnormal HC/AC ratios. Doppler findings revealed that 85.7% of Left Uterine Artery Resistance Index (RI) and 82.1% of Right Uterine Artery RI measurements were normal. Additionally, 85.3% of Umbilical Artery RI values were normal. Significant associations were found between uterine artery RI and systolic/diastolic ratio (SD) and pregnancy outcomes ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: Biometric parameters and Doppler velocimetry, particularly uterine and umbilical artery RIs and SDs, are essential in diagnosing IUGR and predicting pregnancy outcomes. These tools are valuable in identifying pregnancies at risk for complications, enabling timely management to improve maternal and fetal health.

Background And Aims: Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by acute myocardial inflammation and cardiogenic shock. Evidence on long-term outcomes, mortality risk factors, and targeted treatment options remains limited.
Methods: This retrospective analysis included consecutive adult patients admitted for FM between January 2012 and November 2022 at 26 European tertiary centres.
Influence of biologic sex and obesity on liver recurrence and survival in patients undergoing upfront surgery for pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Department of Surgery, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York, USA.
Background: The influence of obesity and sex on outcomes in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains unclear. The association between obesity (body mass index [BMI], ≥30) and biologic sex (male or female) for outcomes in patients with PDAC undergoing a surgery-first approach was investigated.
Methods: A prospectively maintained pancreatic cancer database at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center was queried to identify all patients undergoing surgery with a pathologic diagnosis of PDAC.
Body muscle mass versus fat mass: gender-specific associations with NAFLD and liver fibrosis.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the gender-specific associations of skeletal muscle mass and fat mass with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and NAFLD-related liver fibrosis in two population-based studies.
Methods: Analyses were based on data from the MEGA (n = 238) and the MEIA study (n = 594) conducted between 2018 and 2023 in Augsburg, Germany. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to evaluate relative skeletal muscle mass (rSM) and SM index (SMI) as well as relative fat mass (rFM) and FM index (FMI); furthermore, the fat-to-muscle ratio was built.

To evaluate intraoperative ventilatory mechanics during robotic-assisted hysterectomy in obese women with endometrial cancer and introduce the concept of a physiologic "ceiling effect" in respiratory strain. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 89 women with biopsy-confirmed endometrial cancer who underwent robotic-assisted total hysterectomy between 2011 and 2015. Intraoperative ventilatory parameters, including plateau airway pressure and static lung compliance, were recorded at five-minute intervals.

Introduction: Medication history taking at hospital admission is still prone to errors. Despite numerous quality improvement initiatives, new strategies to improve medication history taking are still sought and evaluated. Unfortunately, the gold standard research methodology for evaluation is resource-intensive, as it requires each patient to complete two medication history interviews.
