Association of fetal growth restriction and stillbirth in twin compared with singleton pregnancies
CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates a significant association between SGA, particularly for FGR, with increased odds of stillbirths in singleton pregnancies across all gestational ages. For twin pregnancies, when twin-specific charts were used, SGA and in particular FGR were associated with a significantly increased risk of stillbirth, across all gestational ages at delivery.

Poor Acceptance of the Revised Classification of Premalignant Anal Lesions Following the LAST Standardized Project
CONCLUSION: Despite multidisciplinary collaborative effort, adherence to the recommendations to use the two-tiered system for HPV-associated premalignant anal lesions continues to be suboptimal. Further efforts are needed to identify the cause of poor adherence to be able to create strategies that reinforces unification of terminology and integration of LAST the recommendations.PMID:38641876 | DOI:10.1177/00031348241248793 (Source: The American Surgeon)

A prospective randomized control trial comparing outcomes of casting, pinning, and plating for distal end of radius fractures (AO type A2, A3, C1, or C2) in the elderly population
CONCLUSION: The study found a radiologically significant difference between groups throughout the follow-up, but it did not affect functional results. Clinical outcomes were similar across the groups, with plating showing better palmar flexion and radial deviation. Grip strength was also better in the plating group, but statistically insignificant. The study suggests plating should be chosen over other treatments for high-demand patients.PMID:38642122 | DOI:10.1007/s00590-024-03949-z (Source: Hand Surgery)

Isodose mapping of terrestrial gamma radiation in Sarawak-Borneo: Insights from surface-weathered soil analysis
In conclusion, this study has successfully revealed the relationship between TGR dose rates and superficial-weathered soil in Sarawak-Borneo. While the linear relationship is applicable to the Sundaland-Borneo tectonic block, it has potential to be used as a valuable tool for spatial inference of TGR dose rates in isodose development with similar lithologial characteristics, aiding in radiation exposure assessment and environmental monitoring.PMID:38642443 | DOI:10.1016/j.apradiso.2024.111327 (Source: Applied Radiation and Isotopes)

Comparison of Outcomes between Single-Level and Double-Level Corpectomy in Thoracolumbar Reconstruction: A Retrospective Study of 16 Patients Using Expandable Cages
CONCLUSIONS In our experience, expandable cages are useful in the restoration of different pathologies of the thoracolumbar trunk with low complication and revision rates. With expandable cages it is possible to achieve restoration of the Cobb angle, improvement in Nurick Grade and effective pain palliation.PMID:38641870 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.943797 (Source: Medical Science Monitor)

Exploring the association of Indigeneity, social adversity status and externalizing symptoms in children and adolescents
CONCLUSIONS: High social adversity status is linked to externalizing symptoms in non-Indigenous young people but despite higher social adversity, Indigenous young people don't necessarily externalize. Potential protective resilience factors for externalizing symptoms in the Indigenous young people need to be ascertained and nurtured. Future systematic investigations of the contribution of these protective factors to Indigenous referral pathways and management are needed. It is also crucial that increased social adversity status is addressed and managed in all young people, regardless of Indigeneity.PMID:38642027 | DOI:10.1...

Biomarker role of maternal soluble human leukocyte antigen G in pre ‐eclampsia: A meta‐analysis
ConclusionAlthough we found that first and third-trimester sHLA-G levels in pre-eclampsia are significantly lower, taking into consideration the inconsistent results from the sensitivity analysis, our findings advocate the demand for more studies with larger sample sizes to generate solid ground pooled evidence on the predictive role of sHLA-G in pre-eclampsia.

GSE228477 An exosomal circRNA signature in the diagnosis and prognostification of cholangiocarcinoma: circRNA microarray analysis for 10 human bile samples
Contributors : Ningyuan Wen ; Dingzhong Peng ; Jiong Lu ; Bei LiSeries Type : Expression profiling by array ; Non-coding RNA profiling by arrayOrganism : Homo sapiensWe have completed the Arraystar Human circRNA Array V2 analysis of 10 bile exosome samples (5 cholangiocarcinoma-induced biliary obstruction vs. 5 benign biliary obstruction). Total RNA from each sample was quantified using the NanoDrop ND-1000. The sample preparation and microarray hybridization were performed based on the Arraystar ’s standard protocols. Briefly, total RNAs were digested with Rnase R (Epicentre, Inc.) to remove linear RNAs and enrich c...

Effect of time post warming to embryo transfer on human blastocyst metabolism and pregnancy outcome
ConclusionOverall, our results show that differences in the time of post warming culture have no significant impact on miscarriage or live birth rate for frozen embryo transfers. This information can be beneficial for clinical practices with either minimal staffing or a high number of patient cases. (Source: Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics)
