Abstract

To examine pregnancy outcomes of women receiving weekly compounded 17 α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17P) injections through a home nursing program compared with those reported in a multicenter trial by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Network. The study sample was comprised of patients receiving compounded 17P through a home nurse administration care management program. Included were women with current singleton gestation and prior spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) initiating 17P between 16 and 20 weeks. Maternal characteristics and pregnancy outcomes were compared between study group and NICHD Network trial patients. Women (n = 5493) received a mean of 16.9 ± 4.0 injections. Of the 92,700 injections, 98.4% were administered within the recommended 5- to 9-day interval. Recurrent SPTB occurred in 28.3%. The overall rate of SPTB at <37 weeks was similar for black and nonblack women (p = 0.592). Within black or nonblack groups, preterm birth rates at <37 weeks were similar regardless of gestational age at start of 17P (p = 0.894 and p = 0.374, respectively). These results were similar to those reported in the multicenter trial. Fetal and neonatal death occurred in 0.8% (4...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
