Background Pregnant women with epilepsy on antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) may experience a reduction in serum AED levels. This has the potential to worsen seizure control. Objective To determine if, pregnant AEDs, additional therapeutic drug monitoring reduces deterioration compared clinical features after Design A double-blind, randomised trial nested within cohort study was conducted and qualitative of acceptability two strategies undertaken. Stratified block randomisation 1 : allocation...
Background/Objectives: Cancer and related treatments can impair body composition (BC), increasing the risk of malnutrition sarcopenia, poor prognosis, Health-Related Quality Life (HRQoL). To enhance BC parameter interpretation through Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), we developed a predictive model based on unsupervised approaches including Principal Component (PCA) k-means clustering for sarcopenia in cancer patients at Istituto Nazionale Tumori IRCCS “Fondazione G. Pascale”...

Abstract Background Mother-to-baby transmission of group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the main cause early-onset infection. We evaluated whether, in women with clinical risk factors for early neonatal infection, use point-of-care rapid intrapartum test to detect maternal GBS colonisation reduces antibiotic exposure compared usual care, where antibiotics are administered due those factors. assessed accuracy diagnosing colonisation, against reference standard selective enrichment culture. Methods...
Introduction Up to half of all women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus develop type 2 within 5 years after delivery. Metformin is effective in preventing high-risk non-pregnant individuals, but its effect when commenced the postnatal period not known. We plan assess feasibility evaluating metformin versus placebo minimising risk dysglycaemia including delivery a history through randomised trial. Methods and analysis Optimising health outcomes prevent diAbetes After pregnancy...
Background Mother-to-baby transmission of group B Streptococcus ( agalactiae ) is the main cause early-onset infection. Objectives We investigated if intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis directed by a rapid test reduces maternal and neonatal use, compared with usual care (i.e. risk factor-directed antibiotics), among women factors for vertical transmission, examined accuracy cost-effectiveness test. Design An unblinded cluster randomised controlled trial nested study, an economic evaluation...
Background: Given the increasing incidence of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS), medical student training on substance use disorders (SUDs) and disorder (OUD) in pregnancy must be augmented. Through Cuddling Assists Lowering Maternal Infant Stress (CALM) service-learning program, students attend SUD-related didactics provide monthly cuddling services to infants with NOWS. Objective: This study examines impact CALM students' attitudes toward individuals SUDs self-reported comfort...
