Prevalence of antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase in women who have had gestational diabetes

Article Abstract:

Some women who have had gestational diabetes may develop permanent diabetes, and a test for certain autoantibodies may help identify women at risk for developing diabetes. Researchers followed up 734 women who had had gestational diabetes and 104 women who developed permanent diabetes after gestational diabetes by testing them for the presence of autoantibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (anti-GAD). Anti-GAD may be the major indicator of insulin-dependent diabetes. Thirty-two percent of women who develop gestational diabetes may go on to develop permanent diabetes within 15 years. A small group of 1.7% of gestational diabetics may later develop insulin-dependent diabetes. In this study, 12 out of 230 (5.2%) women who developed permanent diabetes became insulin-dependent.

Surgical management of twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence

Article Abstract:

Study is conducted to review the experience in the management of twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence to derive management recommendations. Results reveal that surgical management of twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence is indicated in high-risk patients while the surgical approach and the surgical technique should be tailored to the specific clinical presentation, preferably by performing the surgery within the sac of the twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence fetus and avoiding disruption of the dividing membrane.

The effect of vascular coiling on venous perfusion during experimental umbilical cord encirclement

Article Abstract:

Blood flow inside the umbilical cord can decrease if the cord becomes curled. This was demonstrated by researchers who wrapped umbilical cords around a cylinder and measured the flow of a liquid solution through the cord.
