Evaluation of cardiac contractility of fetuses from pregestational diabetes mellitus pregnancies by three-dimensional ultrasound.
This study aimed to evaluate cardiac contractility in fetuses from pregestational diabetes mellitus pregnancies by three-dimensional ultrasound using spatiotemporal image correlation in rendering mode. ⋯ Cardiac contractility as evaluated by three-dimensional ultrasound using spatiotemporal image correlation in rendering mode showed no significant differences across fetuses with and without pregestational diabetes.

Is postpartum depression related to total weight gain during pregnancy and maternal anemia?
This study aimed to investigate the effects of weight gain and maternal anemia on postpartum depression. ⋯ Nutritional education and vitamin supplementation should be recommended to pregnant women during routine examinations.

Randomized Controlled TrialA randomized clinical trial of transdermal (gel) versus oral estrogen for endometrial preparation in frozen embryo transfer cycle.
The aim of this study was to compare endometrial thickness with the use of transdermal estrogen (gel) versus oral estrogen (pills) for endometrial preparation in the frozen embryo transfer cycle and serum estrogen concentrations during the preparation cycle, side effects, and chemical and clinical pregnancy rates. ⋯ Endometrial preparation with transdermal estrogen yielded similar reproductive outcomes to oral estrogen with fewer side effects.

Randomized Controlled TrialDid diet compliance and remission reduce oxidative stress in celiac patients?
We aimed to examine the effect of remission status on thiol-disulfide homeostasis in celiac patients and thus to indirectly determine the effect of oxidative stress and inflammation caused by non-compliance with the diet. ⋯ Not being in remission in celiac disease leads to increased oxidative stress, and thiol-disulfide homeostasis is an indirect indicator of this. Additionally, providing remission in celiac patients reduces oxidative stress.

Multicenter StudyAggressive treatment may be needed for idiopathic membranous nephropathy with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis lesions.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical, pathological, prognostic features and treatment response of the coexistence of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis lesions with idiopathic membranous nephropathy. ⋯ Compared with FSGS- group, idiopathic membranous nephropathy with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis lesions represented more severe nephrotic syndrome and worse renal function. In view of the renal function decline during the follow-up, more aggressive treatment with the use of immunosuppressants should be considered for idiopathic membranous nephropathy patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis lesions.
