Sonographic evidence of NAFLD at 10-14 weeks is an independent predictor of pregnancy-associated HTN. Circulating levels of SeP at that same gestational age are significantly increased in pregnant women with NAFLD who subsequently develop pregnancy-associated HTN.

'The lower, the better' phenomenon was still valid for both maternal and neonatal outcomes. Our results suggest that the recent changes in diagnostic thresholds for hypertension may also apply to pregnant women. Therefore, women with stage I hypertension prior to pregnancy should be carefully observed for adverse outcomes.

This nationwide cohort study confirms that postpartum women with a history of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) are at an increased risk of developing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). These findings may bring us one step closer to understanding the exact mechanisms underlying such an important association between prior APOs and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among postpartum women. This bidirectional association between APOs and MASLD highlights the importance

This nationwide population-based study in South Korea indicates that compared with the general population, neonates born to SLE mothers have a slightly increased risk of congenital malformations affecting the nervous system, head and neck, cardiovascular system, and musculoskeletal system. When a woman with lupus becomes pregnant, careful fetal ultrasound and newborn screening can be helpful in identifying the risk of potential malformations.

Effect of magnesium addition on rapid transformation of α-alumina prepared from route of ammonium aluminum carbonate hydroxide during thermal heating and microwave radiation heating was investigated. The phase transformation and the final particle size of the transient alumina composite powder were significantly affected by amount of magnesium added in the aluminum precursor during the microwave radiation heating in various environmental atmospheres. Rapid transformation from γ- to α-phase was f

We identified new potential variants in genes that play a role in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA) regulation, which supports their putative involvement in the predisposition to ritodrine-induced pulmonary edema in pregnant women.

Conservative treatment succeeded in 96% of patients without contrast extravasation on CT angiography. CT angiography is useful to identify patients requiring intervention in the management of hemorrhage refractory to medical treatment.

The increased risk of APO differed depending on the timing of adenomyosis diagnosis. Therefore, efforts for more careful monitoring and prevention of APOs may be necessary when such women become pregnant.

When the presenting fetus is demised in a twin pregnancy, the remaining fetus tends to be delivered earlier than when the non-presenting fetus is demised.

These findings provide a novel support for the use of the offspring's birthweight as a predictor of future maternal diseases such as HTN and DM.

The proposed computational pathology model demonstrated a strong ability to identify preeclamptic placentas. Computational pathology has the potential to improve the identification of PE placentas.

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is one of the leading causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Many studies have reported an association between FGR and fetal Doppler indices focusing on umbilical artery (UA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), and ductus venosus (DV). The uteroplacental-fetal circulation which affects the fetal growth consists of not only UA, MCA, and DV, but also umbilical vein (UV), placenta and uterus itself. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of large-scale cohort studies that
