The specific influence of the pre-pregnancy body mass index (PPBMI) on women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is unclear. Our objective was to investigate how PPBMI categories affect pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in women with GDM. ⋯ PPBMIs significantly impact pregnancy outcomes in women with GDM. Both underweight and overweight/obese categories are associated with adverse outcomes, highlighting the need for pre-pregnancy counseling and interventions to achieve and maintain a healthy BMI.

To determine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in E. coli isolated from urine cultures of patients with uncomplicated cystitis in Pakistan. Another objective was to analyze and compare the resistance rates of E. coli to specific antibiotics, conducting a year-by-year evaluation of these rates to identify trends and changes over the past seven years. ⋯ The national guidelines offer an empirical treatment regimen for patients with uncomplicated cystitis. However, regional variations in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) complicate adherence to these guidelines. Our study supports the use of fosfomycin and nitrofurantoin in management of uncomplicated cystitis, However, ongoing annual regional surveillance is essential to keep clinicians informed about the latest trends in AMR.
